Description

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distills 3,000 years of the history of power into 48 well-explicated laws. This bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other infamous strategists. The 48 Laws of Power will fascinate any listener interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.

Hard to finish

I feel you would need to be a history buff to truly appreciate the book. The history given to prove the laws is always interesting, however the listening length made it hard to pay attention to.

Transitions between laws were also hard to follow for me. As their are 48 laws, going back to review one is very hard as an audible.

I finally bought the book paperback. Good book, hard to listen to. 3* as audible, 4.5* as paperback.

Save your money, save your wellbeing.

I've listened to the first several chapters. I can not make time or subject my soul or my mental wellbeing to these immoral "laws". Agree there are people out there who live and breathe these values (one need look no further then the Whitehouse). This book or type of guidance will not serve the "know your enemy to protect yourself crowd". Rather, it will implant unprincipled, dishonorable, iniquitous, corrupt, devious thoughts. Save your money and save yourself the karma this way of being brings. Don't be fooled by $6.95 price like I was, it's cheap for a reason.

a psychopaths nightmare

im a fan of R. greenes book the laws of human nature but this one is not my cup of tea. its a stark reminder that the world is indeed full of evil manipulators with alterior motives for control...greed, and ego is the bane of mankind. But it seems to me this book is made for sociopaths and people who yearn to deceive people. Maybe im a fool but many things i do is out of kindness to bring joy and lend a hand to others without having a sinister motive in my mind of using people for my benefit...

It’s Not What You Think

I was very weary to read this book bc I was reading many reviews accusing the author of teaching readers how to be manipulative. But I decided to read it anyway and I’m glad I did.

This book is incredible. First, yes, there are elements of manipulation. But, you can use this to your advantage so that you can recognize when someone is doing it to you! Second, the incredible historical stories that he tells to provide context is...I have no words. I would love to know the process of selecting the stories used.

Nonsense.

Anyone listening to this thinking they will rule anything, from work to family or team is living in another time. The examples given are from outdated times where kings and magnates had not earned their power, but inherited it.

Refer to the great, modern dictum, A's hire A's, B's hire C's and if you believe this book will make tou an A, you may want to think about your real aptitudes in life. Not sure Warren Buffet, Tim Cook and many more great leaders of this era followed the cunning way portrayed here to the top.

Hopefully the author wrote it to make money, as there is a vast clientele for this type of stuff.

Powerful!

This is probably the best audiobook I’ve ever listened to in my lifetime. Not only is the book itself is compelling, the narrator is also the best I’ve ever heard. Recommended!

Not for me

If you have ethics, values and a moral compass, you may find this book of very little value. It is very well written and read tho

Long and boring.

The author identifies a series of ways to manipulate people around you and create a false sense of power. Machiavelli's The Prince provided better insights to power than this book. I could not finish it. Some ideas even conflict with each other.

For con men and charlatans, maybe courtiers


What I hoped for in this book was really about how to be a leader, or a better leader. I was disappointed. The premise of this book is that you can gain power through deceit and trickery. While the lessons might be applicable in a Royal Court, or maybe Politics, except for in the most dysfunctional company, most of the lessons taught in this book would not be useful. It is really about tricks, deceit and backstabbing but never about how to produce anything or motivate people beyond fear. There are a lot of anecdotes to illustrate the rules that the author expounds, but I know at least one of them was wrong. The author states that both Tesla and Edison were up to share the 1914 Nobel Prize in Physics. Rather than give Tesla any publicity, Edison refused and the the prize went to somebody else. Actually it went to Max von Laue for the discovery of the diffraction of X-rays by crystals. But Nobel Prizes don't work that way. Even if Edison had refused they both would have been awarded the prize and Edison would have just refused. But all the publicity would still be there.

The inability to get facts right, the lack of methods of motivation, the focus on deception make me feel this book is for the stupid, sociopaths and or morally bankrupt. Only where power is based on a popularity contest, like politics, or bestowed such as a royal court, would any of this be useful. I guess within the corporate environment it could be used to move up the ladder but you better vacate the spot as soon as possible and sell short on the stock because once you achieve any sort of power, you will be in a position where you don't have a loyal team supporting you and you have no idea how to product anything. Also if you pay attention every "Rule" has a contradictory "Rule". "Crush your enemy utterly and completely" is a rule as is "Show mercy to your enemies you will gain a most loyal ally".

If you are ever hiring somebody that has risen in previous companies but never stayed anywhere more than two years, they are probably the kind of bottom feeder that adheres to the advice in this book. I guess on positive aspect it does have is it elucidates the tactics so you can shut that scum down when you see it.

The last 3 or 4 chapters are potentially useful for regular people who aren't working towards a career as a con man
