It's natural to lose yourself when you have success, to start surrounding yourself with fake people. JAY-Z: I would say that it's from still being able to relate to people. Why have you endured while other rappers haven't? PLAYBOY: Rap careers are usually over fast: one or two hits, then styles change and a new guy comes along. (From the Playboy interview with Jay-Z, April 2003) The 48 laws are illustrated through the tactics, triumphs and failures of great figures from the past who have wielded - or been victimised by - power.
The text is bold and elegant, laid out in black and red throughout and replete with fables and unique word sculptures. Law 1: Never outshine the master Law 2: Never put too much trust in friends learn how to use enemies Law 3: Conceal your intentions Law 4: Always say less than necessary. The less you speak the more people think about your words and the more they keep you in mind, hence, you gain power over them.Īfter reading The 48 Laws of Power you must be wanting to read other book reviews and do comment on your favorite part of the book.THE MILLION COPY INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERĭrawn from 3,000 years of the history of power, this is the definitive guide to help readers achieve for themselves what Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger, Louis XIV and Machiavelli learnt the hard way.
