I am reading The 48 laws of power by Robert Greene. It is a book containing historical anecdotes regarding different attitudes and behaviours one should be aware if if one embarks on a quest for power. I am half way through it and so far it is certainly an interesting read. While in todays society ( perhaps in all ages? ) the advice there would be shunned, I perfonally find it very interesting a enjoy applying, at least in part, the lessons learned by reading this book.

If I could give it a short description, it's pretty much the modern equivalent of The Prince and i highly reccomend it to everyone!
