However many of the stories are related and interpreted in a retrospective and highly arbitrary way. It does spell out human nature accurately. Unlike many others who dislike the book I don't find the content immoral. (Posted on ) mental economy Review by Yixiao I'll stay open to give it another shot someday as one never knows how one will feel. Given that the manipulative aspect of so many of the 'laws' are so different from how I go about the world maybe I'm uncomfortable feeling so naive. In the future I'll listen to it again and maybe I'll like it a bit more. What I liked were the historical references, as I appreciated concrete examples. So laws only work up to a certain point then they backfire. I didn't expect it to be as contradictory as it was. It was very close to what I expected it to be. This is a book that I have been meaning to read for years. (Posted on ) Trump's playbook but for a few he missed Review by Ingrid This book contains many fabulous examples from history, legends, and fables. Great Performance! Review by Susan Goldcamp Lots of vignettes and short chapters, so easy to pick up again if your attention wanders. I read 33 strategies of war by the same author, so I knew the story was likely to be good, and I was not disappointed. The stories were great too, I just would have liked to see more contemporary examples of power plays. Really enjoyed how the narrator could adopt the tone of the various characters. The narration was great, keeping one interested throughout the book. (Posted on ) Excellent Narration, Great Story, a great listen Review by Mikuhl Very much enjoyed this book, well performed, easy to listen too and very well researched. (Posted on ) Fantastic book that was very well narrated Review by bryan (Posted on ) Amazing narration! Review by d jonesДЄmazing performance by the narrator! He took me on journey through time to learn about the dynamics of power and human behavior But the book is useful in pointing out how people acquire and maintain power, and there is a benefit to being aware of how power can work. So I would not highly recommend this book because there is little emphasis, if any, in character. And even thought I do not believe I will ever live by the majority of these laws, being aware of them has helped open my eyes to what is going on around me. But I realized that even though I may dislike these 'laws of power' they are at play in the world I live in. So why did I listen to the whole thing? I thought about returning the book after listening to the first chapter. The author seems to recommend some of the behavior we naturally disapprove of as an acceptable means to power. This book seems to outline all the dirty tricks played by politicians to stay in power.

Maybe I am naive when it comes to power, or too idealistic. (Posted on ) Interesting Review by MarlonДЄs a Christian I find myself struggling with these laws and approaches to power. The narrator was awesome, but the knowledge was priceless. One of the best audio book I've listened. Customer Reviews My new bible Review by Junior
