Today, I'm going to start writing about books that I'm reading that I think should be in every man's library (or power hungry woman, for that matter). This week's pick is the 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. This book is the bible for life in the shark tank. Greene breaks down each law one by one; giving you examples of the abuses of each law and when each law is put to effective use. For instance, the first law of power is to never outshine the master. Greene shows you one man who did, which lead to his utter downfall, and another man who made the law work in his favor.  50 Cent was so impressed that he wrote a sequel of sorts, adding two more laws to his book. The book is always interesting, never boring or preachy, and requires a few readings just to let it all sink in. It is a must have book with life lessons for all.
