Must Read for Those Who Want to Win

Robert Greene is one of my favorite authors. I wasn't disappointed with this book. Like his book on power, this promises to be a book I'll read at least once a year and look to as a reference often.

Why? Simply put, this is a manual that shows you how to fight the war of business. It is similar to The Art of War but it's also totally unique. You'll discover how to behave in relationships in a manner that will allow you to get what you want.

Examples of great warriors such as Napoleon run through the book and inspire you, educate you and fascinate you. This book gets to the real stuff of life.

To be honest, I hope no one buys this book. I hate to see some of these "secrets" get out! But since it's a published book there's not much I can do to stop it. Better to ride the wave of its success. Ah, a lesson learned.

If you want to win in business, buy this book.

The third of the author's "Strategies" Trilogy not to be missed

I rated "48 Laws of Power" and "Art of Seduction" of the author with five stars. I see no point why I should honor this less. They are all insightful, well written/organized/elaborated with vivid histories and teachings from masters like Napoleon, Sun-tzu, Machiavelli, Miyamoto etc that readers can understand, remember, choose and apply the right "strategies" in the right place at the right time towards the right one with relative ease. IMHO, they should be studied together as a trilogy so you can get the most in your work, love or even war. In short, a must-read.

p.s. Below please find two of my favorite passages in it for your reference.

Space I can recover. Time, never. - Napoleon Bonaparte pg140
Everything in this world conspires to put you on the defensive....By acting boldly, before others are ready, by moving to seizing the initiative, you create your own circumstances rather than simply waiting for what life brings you. Your initial push alters the situation, on your terms. People are made to react to you, making you seem larger and more powerful than may be the case. pg192

The 3 Strategies of Reviewing Robert Greene

1
Strategy: Read Robert Greene's books lightly, dipping into them from time to time. Perhaps when you wake up in the morning, or before stepping out to go to work, or before going to bed. Don't read the books cover to cover in a few sittings. Let yourself absorb their lessons.
Reversal: Read lightly but pay attention. Don't think yourself above these strategies. Greene presents to a modern audience lessons from the classics of human literature. Do not dismiss the wisdom of ages lightly.

2
Strategy: Let the laws and strategies that Greene has sifted from the classics guide you in your everyday life. The lessons of the past have already been paid for. Do not reinvent the wheel.
Reversal: Do not insist on applying a specific strategy to a specific problem. Let a situation choose its own solution. Do not force a square peg in a round hole.

3
Strategy: Empathize. When asking someone for something, for instance when emailing Greene hoping for a reply, offer them something of value to them.
Reversal: Accept that anyone asked for something can refuse. Robert Greene receives too much email to reply to all messages.

Vincent Poirier, Dublin
Yes, yes. I used the same basic review for all three of Robert Greene's books. That's OK. Robert Greene wrote the same basic book three times. But at least it's three times the same good book.
