The 48 Laws of Power (1998) is a non-fiction book by American authorRobert Greene.[1] The book is a bestseller,[2][3] selling over 1.2 million copies in the United States,[4] and is popular with prison inmates and celebrities.[4][5][6][7][8][9]
Background[edit]
Greene initially formulated some of the ideas in The 48 Laws of Power while working as a writer in Hollywood and concluding that today's power elite shared similar traits with powerful figures throughout history.[5] In 1995, Greene worked as a writer at Fabrica, an art and media school, and met a book packager named Joost Elffers.[4][8] Greene pitched a book about power to Elffers and six months later, Elffers requested that Greene write a treatment.[4]
Although Greene was unhappy in his current job, he was comfortable and saw the time needed to write a proper book proposal as too risky.[10] However, at the time Greene was rereading his favorite biography about Julius Caesar and took inspiration from Caesar's decision to cross the Rubicon River and fight Pompey, thus inciting the Great Roman Civil War.[10] Greene wrote the treatment, which later became The 48 Laws of Power.[10] He would note this as the turning point of his life.[10]
Reception[edit]
The 48 Laws of Power has sold over 1.2 million copies in the United States and has been translated into 24 languages.[4]Fast Company called the book a 'mega cult classic', and The Los Angeles Times noted that The 48 Laws of Power turned Greene into a 'cult hero with the hip-hop set, Hollywood elite and prison inmates alike'.[4][11]
The 48 Laws of Power has been reported to be much requested in American prison libraries,[5][12] and has been studied as a first year text in some US colleges.[13][14] Rapper 50 Cent stated that he related to the book 'immediately', and approached Greene with the prospect of a potential collaboration, which would later become The 50th Law, another New York Times bestseller.[15]Busta Rhymes used The 48 Laws of Power to deal with problematic movie producers.[8]DJ Premier has a tattoo inspired from Law #5, 'Reputation is the cornerstone of power', on his arm[6] and DJCalvin Harris has an 'Enter with boldness' arm tattoo based on Law #28.[16]The 48 Laws of Power has also been mentioned in songs by UGK, Jay Z, Kanye West, and Drake.[6][17][18][19]Dov Charney, founder and former CEO of American Apparel, frequently quoted the laws during board meetings, has given friends and employees copies of the book, and appointed Greene to the board of American Apparel.[4] Former Cuban President Fidel Castro is also claimed by the book's author to have read the book.[4] The book has been banned by several US prisons.[20]
Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer said that Greene's so-called laws are based on isolated examples, and not on solid research.[5]Kirkus Reviews said Greene offers no evidence to support his world view, Greene's laws contradict each other, and the book is 'simply nonsense'.[21]Newsweek also points out ways the laws contradict each other and says 'Intending the opposite, Greene has actually produced one of the best arguments since the New Testament for humility and obscurity.'[22] Director magazine notes 'some of Greene's 'laws' seem contradictory' and the work is 'plodding and didactic'.[23]

I think this is a horrible book. Written well enough, sure, whatever, but just so very, very wrong, unless you have no morals. At least with Machiavelli you could make the excuse that he wasn't so much advocating what he said, but merely describing reality. This guy is advocating evil. As I read it I couldn't help wondering how many politicians actually think this way.

When it comes to morality and ethics, people are used to thinking in terms of black and white. Conversely, 'The 48 Laws of Power' deals primarily with the gray areas. At the risk of sounding melodramatic and trite, I say that most of the Laws covered in this book can be used for great evil or for great good. It depends on the reader. There is really nothing wrong with most of the Laws.

This book belongs in the category of sad-but-true. For those who have a moral objection to the amoral approach of the authors presentation, I understand your feelings, but I think you miss the point.

Here are 48 approaches to power that you will either attempt to use or you will experience them being used against you a...more

I hated every word of this manual for the soulless. It's a perfect example of exactly what's wrong with Big Pharma, big business, Wall Street, and in short capitalism as it's currently practiced. This book, which is kinda-sorta a synthesis of many previous Me First directives (Machiavelli leaps to mind), is a handbook on how to fuck over everyone you come in contact with, in order for you to get 'ahead' and 'succeed'. It'd be awesome for sociopaths and wanna-be-CEOs. It plunged me into despair....more

Did you ever notice how sometimes the right book comes along at the right time?

For all the readers and reviewers who don't 'get' or like this book, here's what you are not getting: It is fact. This book is not teaching anyone to be amoral. It is teaching you how people really are in the real world. It separates the behaviors and tactics of people in history who have succeeded and failed into the 48 'Laws'. It is an explanation of power in the only way it can be expressed.

There are some engaging principles here that make you consider the principle of power from different vantage points -- This book is for those who already have a strong moral center as you find that the author meanders and introduces you to novel approaches to accquiring power --- often times at the expense of values. In many ways, this book is Machiavellian in scope and re-modifies many of the same principles in The Prince for our more modern age. If you're looking for a short-cut to get to the...more

Let me start by stating that I was EXTREMELY skeptical about this book, though I had heard so much about it prior to reading it (I don't know, maybe it was the mood I was in). My first thoughts while reading the preface were 'Oh god...please don't let this be another book written from the point of view of an arrogant, self centered, self absorbed, narrow minded individual who only sees the world from his end of the spectrum, and believes that without his personal philosophy the rest of us mere m...more

This is really an unique book that serves both as a manual as well as a reading of the history of power and how it was used through the ages. I imagine most read this book to get insight into business transactions or self-help - but what is fascinating are the examples that are used to show certain aspects of obtaining or getting power. That and Robert's other two books 'The Art of Seduction' and the War one are important studies on the nature of those subject matters.

I've seen many people disliking this book because it's evil. What they do not understand that this book is meant to be evil. And in its execution, it was spectacular. This book is a classic.
I think the world is a horrible place because good people don't understand evil scheme, or can't plot evil scheme when its necessary to fight the evil. As evil minds are generally ruthless in executing their schemes, they win most of the time. To fight it, you must play dirty when necessary.

This is Machiavelli updated for the everyman (and woman). Robert Greene is educated as all get out and he puts it out there for everyone to see. Really, the only way you can make arguments for the positions he takes is by citing historical example, (i.e. the laws of power are immutable and unchanging and here's all my examples throughout history to explicate that). Machiavelli really only relied on his own times (Renaissance Italy which of course was populated with characters like Cesare Borge w...more

I couldn't stomach this book so to be fair I only finished about a quarter of it so I can't speak for the whole thing. A friend recommended it to me. It seemed to justify selfishness on these somewhat flawed ethics-based arguments. I think it's a recommended reading for business majors. Some folks love it. A good book to check out on power that takes a somewhat different approach is Thich Naht Hanh's 'The Art of Power'.

Robert Greene has done an excellent job of distilling how power works at the macro level, among great generals, statesmen, larger-than-life seducers, and even top CEOs at Fortune 500 companies. But most of us do not experience power in the way that is presumed by these examples. Most of us experience a much more fluid, shifting, and consensus-based form of power among people whom we must work with over and over again over many years and cannot afford to treat as disposable.

Definitely read this book if you're planning on being a war general soon. Or if you want to destroy your 'enemies.'
If you want to be happy, probably this book is useless for you. Most of the models of power ended up being killed or miserable.
This book is pretty useful--anyone who doesn't see it as satire or rates it as 5 stars, you should probably avoid in your daily life--they think you're tool and are incapable of human love.

Power is a social game, and you have to master it. It is a game in which there is no exit. The better you master it,the better and the more successful person you will be. Smartness is about not to opear too power hungry and in the same time to have no power over people and events.

The reason for giving this book 4 stars is for the beautiful way it is written.

I don't agree with many theories he states, and I didn't understand some of them (given my very passive character), but I learned a lot of history nonetheless.
