The 48 Laws of Power

The 48 Laws of Power - Robert Greene

Always make those above you feel comfortably superior

Never put too much trust in friends - learn how to use enemies

Conceal your intentions

Always say less than necessary

So much depends on reputation - guard it with your life

Court attention at all costs

Get others to do the work for you, but always take the credit. Never do for yourself what others can do for you

Make other people come to you, use bait if necessary

Win through actions never through argument
