Core Idea:

This book offers 48 laws, one of which states a principle or a strategy for attaining power in social, political, and commercial contexts. Greene goes so far as to explain how power works by putting each law into historical context, using accounts of rulers, military commanders, and other influential leaders. The book urges readers to be “strategic” as well as “mindful” in recognizing the power dynamic around them, whether they want it, need to defend themselves from it, or outmaneuver opponents.
