The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

4.0

Well…I was warned before starting that the book would likely make me feel gross, and it did exactly that for the first half! So many great ideas, but with such malintent behind them. I found the text helpful at understanding those I work with who seemingly subscribe to these laws, and I have already employed a few of them into my approach on dealing with those individuals. I will definitely be re-reading this once I’ve had some space from it. The examples/historical context that the author provided were FANTASTIC and really helped to solidify his points. All-in-all, I do think this is a critical read for those of us in leadership positions, even if (like me) you would never lead like this.
