The 48 laws of power

Power. We are accustomed to seeing how it is exercised in the least appropriate way, and sometimes, in the most damaging way.Whether at a professional level in our companies and work scenarios, or in the classical political context, the power almost always moves the threads in an own and centralized interest exclusively in the one who exercises it.The power "gets drunk" a few and makes the majority unhappy, sometimes.

Authoritarianism is often masked in this word, where there are associated terms such as force, dominance and in that ability to influence other people to achieve certain purposes.Now, seen from a less social way It is curious to approach this dimension from a more psychological level to discover how powerful people execute their artimanas to achieve it.

Sometimes, power is a purely well planned strategy where seduction is not lacking and a scrupulously planned plan.Hence, today we want to introduce you to the so-called 48 laws of power, a book written by Robert Greene and Joost Elffers in 1998 , which became a publishing phenomenon.

The most classic principles of the concept of power are collected, which were already explained in his time by characters like Machiavelli or Sun Tzu, in «The Art of War». We are sure that it will be curious, discover what are usually the basic pillars that support the concept of «Power».
