The 48 Laws of Power

16 Sep 2025

Description

"The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene, outlines a comprehensive philosophy for acquiring and maintaining power through strategic social manipulation. It presents a series of "laws" that offer cynical yet pragmatic advice on human interaction, emphasizing deception, calculated generosity, the art of timing, and the cultivation of an unpredictable or mysterious persona. The sources also stress the importance of appealing to self-interest, using others as scapegoats, and avoiding the appearance of too much perfection or direct authority. Historical anecdotes and fables illustrate these principles, highlighting how individuals throughout history have either risen or fallen based on their adherence to or transgression of these laws of power.
