Story4.5 out of 5 stars 151
In this emotionally charged how-to guide, you'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll discover eye-opening lessons about: The mask you're wearing. The one you hide behind when you say everything is "just fine" when it's not. Your unrealistic expectations. The goal-setting tactics you're deploying to get ahead could be what's holding you back. The difference between struggling and suffering. Being a mother is a struggle - it always has been - but your suffering is optional.

Thank you for being vulnerable. Your authenticity has opened up a deeper understanding about myself that I didn't realize existed.

Heather Moore did a wonderful job depicting the everyday life and struggles of early female aviators. I learned so much from this book and found a deeper appreciation for the women flyers who paved the way before us.

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distills 3,000 years of the history of power into 48 well-explicated laws. This bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other infamous strategists. The 48 Laws of Power will fascinate any listener interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.

The Screwtape Letters, but not satirical
Reviewed: 07-10-19
As if Uncle Screwtape wrote it himself. The author's philosophy is founded on disciplined and artful manipulation. Greene does not understand the related definitions of leadership and social influence, i.e. influencing others to accomplish a common goal, without guile or fear of the transparency of your motives. If you follow these laws of power, you will gain a powerful facade and a life-long fear that others might be reading your thoughts.
The author definitely adheres to Machiavelli and Nietzsche's cohort. But, a major problem with it is that Machiavelli was offering the wrong question when he asked if it is better to be feared than loved. The question should have been, is it better to enable others' agency or restrict others from freely exercising it. Both the selfishly and selflessly powerful can be loved and feared, but the long term question is whether it is better to gain/exercise power to enable or restrict basic human powers of agency.
Better to read: Influencer and Change Anything by Patterson, et al., Getting More by Stuart Diamond, Influence: the Psychology of Persuasion by Cialdini, and Plato's Republic
