Amoral, inmisericorde, despiadado y, sobre todo, muy instructivo, el clásico libro de Robert Greene Las 48 leyes del poder concentra tres mil años de historia en un conjunto de máximas claras y concisas. El autor detalla estos principios en su rostro más crudo, sintetizando el pensamiento de Maquiavelo, Sun-tzu, Carl von Clausewitz y otros grandes teóricos y estrategas. Whether we like it or not, we live in a world ruled by conflict and fierce competition, a world that requires us to always be alert and to constantly to take action. If we are not careful, if we don't react in time to the challenges given to us, if we let others control and make decisions for us, we are lost. This quick guide takes us back to the basic ideas of the controversial yet indispensable book by Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power, which has been read by millions of people worldwide. Not only is it a reflection on power, but it is also a practical instrument for those who wish to pave their own way toward success. Based on historical ideas and influential personalities and drawing on actual cases, Greene reveals the keys to achieve, conquer, and defend power.
