Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature.

In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.
 
Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.

Fantastic compilation of information, stories, and fables.. You have got to love Mr. Greene’s hard work that shows in his usage of all types of relevant information and the method he uses to deliver it to the reader.

Jee show

Amazing. Read this to learn more about the world around you and how to interact with your fellow humans. Even if you do not always use the laws of power it is important to know them because someone will use them on you.

Say man...

48 laws. Great read for the game of life

PovDDPEED

Ebook full of errors, unreadable. This book itself is easily a 5-star read. Unfortunately, the iBooks digital version is a mess. What starts as a few confusing typost quickly gives way to bizarre formatting errors. At one point, sentences from two separate parts of a chapter are mixed up on after another, requiring decoding to read. In another place, half a chapter is simply missing and the next chapter begins as if it were over. (Perhaps the over half of that chapter is floating around somewhere else in the book; I’m not far enough along to know it yet.) Even in areas without these egregious mixups, there are frequent typos that make me think the ebook was scanned from a paper copy. Reviews indicate others have noticed these same errors; save your money and get a hard copy instead.

You keep selling me the book when I’m trying to buy the audio book. I want my money back

Md👊🐯

Amazing. One of the best books ever written.

Angelwrestler

Awful.. The last thing we need in this world is a manual on being dishonest and selfish. I suggest trying to be a human being instead.

Fran Santillana

Strong Points. Very good book. A bit too Machiavellian but anyone can learn a thing or two by the wisdom of this book.

Saint Gunning

Five stars ⭐️. Exposed weaknesses and strengths, all of which will be noted and improved. Awesome.

Cbook99

Life Changing. Just one of those books that once you read it,your outlook on the topic of “power” is never the same.

Get yourself a hard copy. Get yourself a hard copy. They are trying to water down the information with typos. 👁

IiOgRobloxian...ii

It was alright. I felt like more of the beginning had more relatable things, there were a lot of old stories so I think that’s what made it less relatable and not giving a lot of information.

Apparently I need a fake name

Great. Great

Vanessa from Philly

Life changing. This book is touching bases on every aspect of my 33 yrs of living! It’s giving me the answers and point of view I’ve been craving! I’m a mother of six and this book had definitely a game changer

Awesomeness. Not bad

Obiwankenodi

Jedi mind trick. A Sith Lord’s handbook on use of the dark side of the force. No, the dark side is not stronger than the light. Master Yoda once said “Quicker, easier, more seductive, but not stronger.” You’ll damage your body/soul without a doubt if you live by these laws. Remember the high ground and the inevitable fate of Vader.

Dgree85

Must Read. It’s amazing. I just love the background of the stories and understanding the concepts of their behavior for each scenerio.

@mek_4real

💯. If used with good intentions this is an amazing book

Sloppy Production. D- Work.. This product is miserably proofread, if it was proofread at all. Some paragraphs, especially the indented paragraphs, will have so many misspellings that a reader has to pause to figure out what is intended. One has to wonder how a publisher can be so sloppy & invest so little, & still expect the consumer to pay top dollar.

Pincone 1999

Narcissistic but a great book. If you don’t give a hoot about anything but your success, this is your book . Robert Greene is your homeboy

Pinksquirrel

this is what’s wrong with society. anyone who buys this book is completely lost

Hyun_leeee

Before you read this book.... You must know that you should not compare this book when it comes to having power in real life scenarios. this book is mostly only fitting for work places/corporate. for example, for those out there who works at a really good job where you have a CEO and you want to be on the CEOs level. or for example if you are working in anything as big as a mayor and you want to know how to be able to say the right things this is perfect.

Knowledge1789

Da best book eva. This book is a must read for everybody in da world. Rich or poor this book will empower you.

Knowleg

NOT FOR EVERYONE. A truly great read not for everyone but one of my favorites.

Mrleep

This book is okay, I guess.... While several of the laws can be used today I suppose, I found many of the laws to metaphorically be outdated. Then at the end of every chapter, which was probably 5-10 more pages than it should be, the author spent two paragraphs to 'debunk' the respective law itself - thus making all chapters contradictory at best. Probably won't be re-reading the entire book, but may come back to a couple of the chapters that seemed relevant.

Mesmerizing. Couldn’t put it down.. The quirks, twists and surprises kept me reading this book. Factual, yet cunning and insightful. If you want to manipulate manipulative people or entice people to do what you want, I’d say read this book. I thoroughly enjoy each excerpt of historical situations used to reveal different messages and a new lesson upon turning each page.

Mobell2003

Intriguing. Very valuable information and lessons to learn in this book. I will say though it does get repetitive at times. Some rules although all valuable in different senses seemed stretched or repetitive. I personally would recommend it to anyone who wants to be more strategic in life

Godoy,E

Powerful. Very powerful book. Grasp the knowledge and apply it to your everyday life and begin to see a change. Take a time to reflect on your past and present events and you can be able to plan for the most successful future.

Prana2012

Price😳. Why is this digital book the same Price as the paperback?

Borntonara

Eye opening.. If you work on a toxic environment. And can’t afford to quit. Do yourself a favor and read this god damned book.

Jamezy14

Mindset ToolSet. Great toolset for the mind, be ready to learn new perspectives and put them into practice, a must read for everybody.

Jgerlein

Great book.. I loved it.

Sean0215

Highly Recommend. This book is a lot of things. It’s an analysis on power, and an analysis on what Greene believes to be our human nature. It’s rooted very firmly in historical and sociological analysis. Highly recommend

Hdkanzv

Please gift. Can someone please Gift me this book I’m need of self growth!

Cuuhuu

Love. Love

FAMOUSmisfit

Simply amazing. 🔥🔥🔥

Gabpav

Worse book I’ve read. Very disappointed. I don’t agree with the premise and many examples he uses are of the worst types of characters in history and it usually never ends well for them. Should be called “The guide to be friendless, alone and miserable”. Wish I could get my money back.

Kynard

Unable to open. Purchased and now pages won’t turn and I’m only able to see the cover

This book will transform you mentally & spiritually , while causing you to evolve into a complete different being . . Your power will increase ten fold ..... There is allot of other abilities this book grants an individual, but I'm forbidden to speak on ...

Excellent. I think you’ll only like or agree with this book if you think a certain way. If you think that certain way, you’ll know it.

Great book. A just read

Great book. Teaches me a lot of psychology and roles people play in life. Great book👍🏽

AnthonyG88

A book that makes you think. There is a lot of valuable information in this book that makes you pause and think a lot. Using multiple examples throughout history keeps it interesting and better illustrates points made.

Definitely a good read !!. It has taken me a while to finish the book, as I wanted to really take in the laws presented from this book. This is definitely great for those that need a quick crash-course on building up social awareness and cues.

Kr38tv

A must read. Pay no mind to those who argue that Greens’s book is a how-to for sharks and ruthless people. The core idea behind 48 Laws of Power is that people are motivated for personal gain. Everyone. Some are better practitioners, but even fewer are those who recognize it in the actions of others. This book stands up well to repeated reading. Indispensible when you’re first joining the workforce, you’ll find new insight reding this in your 40s and 50s in understanding how people work and why they do what they do.

Great book. laws for life

Amazing book. If you thought about buying this book do it, you can easily see how others will deceive you and people around you, and you will inadvertently look at the world differently.

Great book!. Great find except for tons of typographical errors. Someone should seriously proofread these digital copies and for that price, at least give us the benefit of getting the fixed version.

MuMarvin

Great. Very good work!!!

Killazak503

Awesome book!. This book is a little boring but really really good. It has you thinking and reflecting on your position in life at work relationships and how you have handled things in the past. Love it (crazy thing is my brother told me to read this and he's in pension and his gang makes everyone of their "soldiers" read this book" lol. Anyways read this book

Juancarlosphoto

Crashes my Ipad. I love this book and I also have the hard copy however it does not work on my Ipad 2. As soon as I turn the pages it closes.... It used to work on my Ipad 1. I have deled and dowloaded the book several times and still the same thing...

The Phoenix Dragon of Ra

Smh...... Waaaaaayyyyy too many typos!!!!! I have the print copy, I suggest reading that as this is misleading, too many words are mis-spelled and when you go to define them, NOTHING!!! That does not do the readers justice at all.

Love the look but HATE THE USE!

The 48 Laws of Power. Very POWERFUL reading with great suggestions regarding how to adroitly move about life and work, especially working the politics of CORPORATE AMERICA. MANY TYPOS IN DIGITAL TRANSLATION. MORE typos than I would expect from an upstanding national publisher.

Goohoojo

No good. No good

JMRoy

Book doesn't work. Book hasn't loaded for me in 8months. Fully updated iPhone 5 and an iPhone 4, doesn't work anymore on neither. No tech support.

Kory Fleurima

Must read!! Classic. Great book most things you already know but it's brilliantly set up. This is a book that can be referenced at any point in life and that I have labelled a classic

Eddy tytan

Awesom. Got to read!!!!

The Divine Sage

Content good, format bad.. There are plenty of reviews explaining how great this book is. My beef is that the conversion to ePub format has not done this work justice. It appears as if the print copy of the book was scanned using poor OCR technology. There are entire paragraphs that are almost complete gibberish because lowercase l's are substituted with 1's or backslashes and other similar typos. This seems especially prevalent during sections that are italicized. The original book would not have been allowed to be released this way so if you're going to charge people for the digital copy some proofreading needs to done. And those of us who have already purchased the iBooks copy should be entitled to a fixed version once it is released, otherwise why would we continue to support you?

AVmilano

Powerful weapon for the brain. I also have the hard copy, but caring this with you on your IPhone 4.. Is like desert to the brain.. Knowledge power only if you put to use!!

狗娃2016

Brilliant. Must read. Worth your money.. This is a must read for any man and woman who wants to succeed, or just survive in this complicated world. It is amazing how the author had comprehended the entire human strategy history and gathered these laws. Of course it takes tremendous effort and thinking to actually apply these rules in real world.

Jas_99

A good book with 1 drawback. This book is good and interesting as described by the others. I have nothing to add to their comments. I have 1 complaint though. The grammar is terrible, the electronic book is rife with typos and formatting problems. It is inexplicable as to how this could be but but it makes certain passages very frustrating to read. I presume the the hardcopy book is not this way but it is noticeable and pervades the entire text.

Mikey_Day

Thank You. Cant put into words how helpful this book was. Excellent read.

Apple Junkie

I have the print copy. A must read.. This book is definitely a must read. You will learn a lot. Had to get it on my iPad, iPod and iPhone. Reading the first couple laws in this book, you will identify situations and other aspects that you have been subjected to either subliminally or blatantly. Definitely one of the deepest works I have ever read. Changes your whole perspective and the way you dissect things.

PheePhyPhoPhum

Powerful. This book will change your life! You'll see people and relationships; romantic, business, or otherwise, in an entirely new way.

Jamazon

A Modern Classic in Business Strategy. By far the single most important business strategy compilation ever published. Move over Sun Tzu, Robert Green has changed the game. Pascal Pakter
