Reactions:
“I have to say, as a young graduate working for a big American firm and have seen the harshness of life in it and with my idealism blown away within 2 months; I recommend this as one of the principal text in dealing with people. But don’t be stubborn, no situation is exactly the same, you have to use the way of thinking portrayed in this book rather than following the ‘laws’ literally.” – Bradenburg

“Even if you dont aspire to rule a country, this is perfect for the everyday person who just wants to manage a small group of people. It teaches you the intricacies and politics of the workplace, and shows you the tricks that others may be playing on you. Good read (well, listen since I got the audiobook).” – Sheri

“I’ve been reading a Chapter every few months for years and I never get tired of it. I always find a correlation between these lessons & life.” – Diggiti

“In general the book does have some useful things to say about power and how to acquire and wield it. Unfortunately its approach will probably render the advice useless to the people who need it most. Readers who come to it for guidance will come away from it pretentiously self-absorbed if not downright narcissistic; the readers who can see through its Machiavellian posturing and recognize it for what it is will be the very readers who didn’t need it in the first place.” – John S.

“I have listened to the audiobook version of this great text when I was at university, though I didn’t have the physical book, I found the ‘laws’ were naturally introduced to me via lots of short but interesting stories, despite it is hard to go back and forward and cross reference things without the book.” – Bradenburg
