Greene says that power has been the most sought-after trait for time immemorial, and it is only fitting that one seeks ways to acquire it. He states each of his laws in detail along with examples of how to handle a situation and work smart (and not hard) to achieve power. The premise of the laws is that certain acts always augment power while others curtail it.
These are compiled from the writings of strategists as great as Sun Tzu and Clausewitz, statesmen as illustrious as Bismarck and Talleyrand, and some of the other powerful personalities to have walked the earth. In his handbook, Robert Greene lists down The 48 Laws of Power on the art of indirectly obtaining power based on the rules set forth by successful men and women for over thousands of years. In addition to having an almost cult-like following within the business world, especially in Washington, D.C., Greene’s books are sought after not by just businessmen, but also war historians and some renowned figures in the music industry such as Jay-Z and 50 Cent. However, the book was equally controversial due to the author’s take on several aspects such as power, money, and fame. His debut book, The 48 Laws of Power, was critically acclaimed. The 48 Laws of Power was written by Robert Greene, who is also known for writing bestselling non-fiction books such as The 33 Strategies of War, The Art of Seduction, Mastery, The 50 th Law, and The Laws of Human Nature.
