13 Laws Of Power. Political look to leadership.

There are certain rules and laws for a power, which mostly are the same in all cultures and backgrounds. Ever wondered what they are? This book could be an answer for you to see how and why the power appears, how to get it and finally how to keep it.

13 Laws Of Power didn't make a big impression on me. It was interesting to read this book and to see author's point of view on power theme, still I value Machiavelli's book The Prince much more. 13 Laws Of Power talks more about any kind of power like governance of the country, leading the company, family or any other crowd of people. It covers all aspects of power, starting from how and why the power appears, how to gain it and what is very important, how to finally keep it. Machiavelli's book is more concentrated on the power of a country, but actually it could be used for any kind of power in any community or crowd of people.

If you didn't read Machiavelli's book The Prince, you will find useful information in the book I'm talking about. But if you did, it will be just a reminder of forgotten things. Another thing I didn't like much was the examples. Some of them were good and others in my opinion were not showing the real circumstances.

Despite the reminder of the power laws, one more thing got my attention. It's WE mentality. In one of the chapters author writes about crowds' WE mentality when something great is happenings (even though the crowd don't do anything) and THEY mentality when something is going wrong. It's funny to see such things in everyday life and now I've got an idea that this is one of the power keeping methods.

Which book about POWER do you like the most?
