Barnum.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSome laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 1: Never Outshine the Master\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 2: Never Put Too Much Trust in Friends, Learn How to Use Enemies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 3: Conceal Your Intentions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 4: Always Say Less Than Necessary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 5: So Much Depends on Reputation—Guard It with Your Life\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 6: Court Attention at All Cost\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 7: Get Others to Do the Work for You, But Always Take the Credit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 8: Make Other People Come to You—Use Bait if Necessary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 9: Win Through Your Actions, Never Through Argument\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 10: Infection: Avoid the Unhappy and Unlucky\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 11: Learn to Keep People Dependent on You\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 12: Use Selective Honesty and Generosity to Disarm Your Victim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 13: When Asking for Help, Appeal to People's Self-Interest\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 14: Pose as a Friend, Work as a Spy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 16: Use Absence to Increase Respect and Honor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 17: Keep Others in Suspended Terror: Cultivate an Air of Unpredictability\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 18: Do Not Build Fortresses to Protect Yourself—Isolation is Dangerous\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 19: Know Who You're Dealing With—Do Not Offend the Wrong Person\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 20: Do Not Commit to Anyone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 21: Play a Sucker to Catch a Sucker—Seem Dumber Than Your Mark\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 22: Use the Surrender Tactic: Transform Weakness Into Power\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 23: Concentrate Your Forces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 24: Play the Perfect Courtier\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 25: Re-Create Yourself\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 26: Keep Your Hands Clean\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 27: Play on People's Need to Believe to Create a Cultlike Following\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 28: Enter Action with Boldness\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 29: Plan All the Way to the End\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 30: Make Your Accomplishments Seem Effortless\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 31: Control the Options: Get Others to Play with the Cards You Deal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 32: Play to People's Fantasies\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 33: Discover Each Man's Thumbscrew\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 34: Be Royal in Your Own Fashion: Act Like a King to Be Treated Like One\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 35: Master the Art of Timing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 36: Disdain Things You Cannot Have: Ignoring Them is the Best Revenge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 37: Create Compelling Spectacles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 38: Think as You Like But Behave Like Others\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 39: Stir Up Waters to Catch Fish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 40: Despise the Free Lunch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 41: Avoid Stepping Into a Great Man's Shoes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 42: Strike the Shepherd and the Sheep Will Scatter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 43: Work on the Hearts and Minds of Others\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 44: Disarm and Infuriate with the Mirror Effect\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 45: Preach the Need for Change, But Never Reform Too Much at Once\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 46: Never Appear Too Perfect\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaw 47: Do Not Go Past the Mark You Aimed For;
