About this deal

Law 10: Surround yourself with people who lift you up, so you can all help the unhappy and unlucky find personal freedom too. Our need for ritual is primordial, and embracing its logic can help us connect, find meaning and discover who we are.

Las 48 leyes del poder, son leyes fundamentales para el exito y no hay que obviarlas, hay que ponerlas en practica. I wish someone had warned me about most of it early in life, it would have saved me so much time and energy lost on dominance-seeking people, and would have helped me escape the boredom of such interactions. And they are not all unethical - this would mean every person that has gained power is in some way immoral, and while this may be true on many counts, I believe certainly there are many exceptions. Dispatched immediately and arrived safely from abroad faster than several items purchased at the same time in the UK!I give this book credit for two things: first of all, being written in a very intriguing way (which made me hesitant whether or not I should continue reading, because on the one hand the style kept me interested and curious yet on the other hand the content made me sad for all those who naïvely absorb it); and second of all, I give it credit for being a shortened version of a 500-paged book. Los planteamientos de las leyes están bien fundamentados, me parece que Robert Greene estudio bastante las ideas de Mao Tse-Tung, Sun-tzu, Maquiavello, Mushashi, etc. Two things, though: One, as brilliant as he may be, he managed to somehow contradict himself several times. Since our earliest beginnings, every documented society has gathered to perform elaborate rites and ceremonies - from mass worship to body modification - yet ritual poses a deep paradox: why do we give the utmost importance to otherwise pointless activities? Like it first tells you to 'sit on the shoulders of the giants', and then it says don't complete what others has started because you'll never be as good as them.

Robert Greene, author of The 48 Laws of Power and The Art of Seduction (both from Profile), has a degree in Classical Studies and has been an editor at Esquire and other magazines. The author also describes how powerful the 'us-versus-them' policy is in creating a cult-like following and keeping your followers united, like certain religious and belief systems. The chapters are paralleled with historical parables, these help to stretch the scope of the book and in a sorts strengthen the argument being made.TheNotebook by Roland Allen is a gorgeously illustrated cultural history of the humble notebook, from the bustling markets of medieval Florence to the quiet studies of our greatest thinkers. i liked the idea of this book and how it delivered the rules of power in an amoral point of view, which gives you the raw "rules" that you can use in your own way, which some people might see as extreme or psycho, but i personally enjoyed it. Christmas is just around the corner, but DON’T PANIC: we’re here to provide you with the ultimate festive gifting inspiration, and remind you that books are certainly the easiest presents to wrap…!
