具体描述
Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, The 48 Laws of Power is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.
In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.
Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.

读后感
（一） 有空的时候，会看看央视的《赢在中国》。评委中有我喜爱的企业家：柳传志、牛根生、马云。对于他们的创业故事和传记，总是让人能耳熟能详的。 至于节目本身，我常戏称为：《超级女声》 企业版。央视把节目定位为“励志和创业”，每当听到《在路上》，总会有一种令人...
想看这本书很久了，但只能看到企鹅出版集团的原版，原版畅销了10年。今年终于看到中文版了。 一纸风行，肯定有其理由。很难相信，这本书能够在大陆出版，毕竟中国人热衷于权力，但对于权力却是讳莫如深的。这本书在出版之后，受到读者们的垂青，也说明了中国的官本位思...
每章标题总结的很精辟。这里简单罗列一下案例，日后当提纲来看。 48条法则中有些似乎矛盾。比如“18不要筑起堡垒自我防御” VS “20不要依附于任何人”，一个主张联合，一个主张独立。 有些似乎重复。比如“14装成朋友的姿态进行间谍的工作” VS “33找出每个人的缺点“，都是...
