Power

Power by Robert Greene is a comprehensive and provocative study of the laws that govern the acquisition, maintenance, and use of power throughout human history. Drawing on the lives of historical figures from Machiavelli and Sun Tzu to Napoleon and Catherine the Great, Greene distils timeless strategies for dealing with rivals, building alliances, and protecting one's position in any competitive environment. The book is both a practical guide and a fascinating work of history and psychology, revealing the hidden mechanics of power that operate in courts, boardrooms, and social settings alike. An essential and endlessly referenced work for students of strategy, leadership, and human behaviour.
