A Book written by Robert Greene that offers a Series of Strategies for Obtaining and Maintaining Power in various situations. Here I leave you a summary of the 48 Laws:
1.
Don't Outshine the Boss: Make your Superiors feel Superior. Don't expose your Talent too much or you might Trigger their Insecurity.
2.
Don't Trust friends too much, use your Enemies: Friends Betray you more easily, but if you Manage to WIN an Enemy, they will be more Loyal.
3.
Hide your Intentions: Keep People Off Balance so they can't anticipate your Actions.
4.
Always say Less than Necessary: Silence Breeds Power, and Talking too much Reveals your Plans.
