Ooh the GOAT Robert Greene, the 48 Laws of Power. Some people think this book is immoral or controversial or whatever. To me, summarizing the 48 laws in one sentence is know how power works so you can use it to do good and defend yourself from people who want to do bad. It's a critical book you got to know it.

Robert Greene's books at best in class here. Must reads. Vanessa Van Edwards is also good. Dan Ariely too.

My favorite book to recommend: 48 Laws of Power or Mastery. I'm biased but I think Robert Greene is one of the greatest living writers today. Most of the people I talk to are either struggling to get ahead or struggling at some craft or calling. One or the other is a great fit for them.
