The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. This book is full, and I mean really full of stories complied from history, philosophy and literature. All having to do with the relationships between people, power and getting things done. This is not a book to read cover to cover. It's a book that you can pick up daily, read one story, and keep on doing this for a year. A fantastic education into human nature. Its lessons are immediately applicable.

A compelling book about the fine art of human communication in the career race. Click here to purchase through chapters.indigo.ca
