48 Laws of Power

De: Robert Greene

Narrado por: Richard Poe

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distills 3,000 years of the history of power into 48 well-explicated laws. This bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other infamous strategists. The 48 Laws of Power will fascinate any listener interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.

Reseñas de la Crítica

It's The Rules for suits.... Machiavelli has a new rival. And Sun-tzu better watch his back." ( New York Magazine)

Excellent ..,Should be re-listened to every 6 months

This is excellent. I'm glad Robert Greene put this unabridged book out. Loved the many examples given. A must read for anyone truly interested in taking back control of their lives and understanding why people act and do what they do. ... A Masterpiece

great book

Great book that teaches history and practical matters, all at the same time. Very good performance too.

not bad

i got bored with it sometimes & had to rewind. its a good book overall. i definately know im not the type of person interested in a great power now. i also better understand what well known powerful people had to do to get to where they are. it also verified what i already knew about anyone in power; they all did something bad or wrong to another to get to where they are. i like the way the book helped me see tactics people use for power.

terrible narrator!

the narrator ruined this book. and the book is incredibly long. so very hard to tolerate till the end.

good content tho

Get all of Greene's books, now I am powerful.

Would you listen to 48 Laws of Power again? Why?

I have listened to it 2 times already. The historical examples of Napoleon (numerous) and other leaders are really great. You also feel a little dirty as some of the examples include dropping others in the grease.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the flow a great deal and I thought I could see a grin when the book reader would leave you hanging to fill in the blanks sometimes.

Have you listened to any of Richard Poe’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I think so if he did Greene's other books.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed a lot, when you set someone else to take the blame. I think this Greene book actually had a section titled, "How to start a cult in 5 easy steps"!! ID a common enemy, if there is no enemy create one... Love it.

Any additional comments?

Very entertaining.

Enlightening!

Written and narrated in a very entertaining way! Please listen to this book as it might change your life and perspective for the better!

best book I've ever read

the performance is second to none, each chapter was easy to follow. not once was i bored of it.

Fanman

A very informative book. I believe it is best used to inspire not as a directive. When in need of inspiration, I will look to the information in this book.

A plenty historical achievements carefully explained

Every chapter contains many examples and directions to understand several power achievements among human history. Worth reading.

Awesome analogies

I loved the historical accounts of how many people achieved power in their lives.

I did not give this a complete five star review, however, because some places send more like an actual how to course on deceit
