Real-Life Lessons from the 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene (5 Articles in the making)

I’ve had this book on my shelf since August 2006 and had read it on and off, this time though I picked it up and went from cover to cover and it had been an adventure. A caution for the readers is that this is not a user guide but a book of warning to watch your back from individuals around you. This is a power pack of history, psychology and management all stuffed into one. The author keeps you hanging and wanting for more at every moment and never ever disappoints. The characters mentioned in the narratives are real-life heroes and villains who lived these laws and faced the benefits or consequences during their lifetimes.

I personally had an admiration for the rich Chinese history and leadership lessons and can now appreciate the patience and dignity with which the nation is now pursuing its goals of global domination, they’ve had experience and a lineage to get this going. This book is rich with Chinese historical figures and the genius with which they worked to donate. In addition to this, there are stories both old and new to keep you enthralled.

I’ve started to work on a series of 5 articles where I would take ten laws as explained in the book and would relate experiences corresponding to them, these are either my own or from friends, colleagues and acquaintances, you are welcome to share your own stories as well.

Names and locations would be anonymous. I hope you would enjoy these articles as the laws mentioned in the book are as relevant today as these were in the past.

Enjoy!
