The 48 Laws of Power

The world is like a giant scheming court and we are all trapped inside it. There is no opting out of the game. Everyone is playing. Your greatest defense against them is to identify them in advance. Either you will steer clear of them or, foreseeing their manipulative actions, you will be better able to maintain your emotional balance. You will learn to mentally cut them down to size and focus on the glaring weaknesses and insecurities behind all of their bluster. This will neutralize the intimidation they depend on. And armed with such an attitude and with such knowledge we are prepared to go. To battle in the game of life.
