The 48 Laws of Power

The 48 Laws of Power
Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distills three thousand years of the history of power in to forty-eight well explicated laws. As attention--grabbing in its design as it is in its content, this bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun-tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other great thinkers. Some laws teach the need for prudence ("Law 1: Never Outshine the Master"), the virtue of stealth ("Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions"), and many demand the total absence of mercy ("Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally"), but like it or not, all have applications in real life. Illustrated through the tactics of Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger, P. T. Barnum, and other famous figures who have wielded--or been victimized by--power, these laws will fascinate any reader interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.

Brain Rules (Updated and Expanded)

Brain Rules (Updated and Expanded)
In Brain Rules, Dr. John Medina, a molecular biologist, shares his lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he describes a brain rule -- what scientists know for sure about how our brains work -- and then offers transformative ideas for our daily lives. You'll learn why Michael Jordan was no good at baseball. You'll peer over a surgeon's shoulder as he proves that most of us have a Jennifer Aniston neuron. You'll meet a boy who has an amazing memory for music but can't tie his own shoes. You will discover how: every brain is wired differently, exercise improves cognition, we are designed to never stop learning and exploring, memories are volatile, sleep is powerfully linked with the ability to learn, vision trumps all of the other senses, and stress changes the way we learn.

The 80/20 Principle

The 80/20 Principle
"The 80/20 Principle shows how you can achieve much more with much less effort, time, and resources, simply by concentrating on the all-important 20 percent.". "The pattern of predictable imbalance underlying the 80/20 Principle was first discovered a hundred years ago by Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto while studying income and wealth patterns. But the pattern of "predictable imbalance," as he termed it, crops up throughout life. In The 80/20 Principle, Koch opens our eyes to the way the principle works through a wide range of examples in business, commerce, and virtually every aspect of our lives. For example, 20 percent of products account for 80 percent of sales and profits; similarly, 20 percent of customers account for 80 percent of revenues.". "By identifying and focusing on the 20 percent of our efforts that result in the huge bulk of our success, we can leverage our efforts to vastly increase our effectiveness. For we discover that little of what we do really counts. By concentrating on those things that do, we can transform our effectiveness in our jobs, our careers, our businesses, and our lives."--BOOK JACKET.

Rich Dad Poor Dad

Rich Dad Poor Dad
April of 2022 marks a 25-year milestone for the personal finance classic Rich Dad Poor Dad that still ranks as the #1 Personal Finance book of all time. And although 25 years have passed since Rich Dad Poor Dad was first published, readers will find that very little in the book itself has changed — and for good reason. While so much in our world is changing a high speed, the lessons about money and the principles of Rich Dad Poor Dad haven’t changed. Today, as money continues to play a key role in our daily lives, the messages in Robert Kiyosaki’s international bestseller are more timely and more important than ever. Milestones While there is a milestone to commemorate — and a new section in the book on Why Milestones Are Important — preserving the integrity of the original content is testimony to the fact that this book has truly stood the test of time. The sidebars throughout the book (that were updated for the 20-year anniversary edition) have been updated again, but the core principles that parents and grandparents — those who embraced Robert’s story and messages 25 years ago — are sharing them with new generations who have found that its timeless wisdom and no-nonsense lessons can be applied to anyone’s life and their vision for a future that includes taking control of their finances. People of all cultures and countries celebrate milestones. We use them to measure time, mark progress, reflect on the lessons we’ve learned, and celebrate accomplishments… and they give meaning to our life’s journey. They are a way that we integrate past, present, and future… looking back at where we started, where we are today… and the promise of all that the future can hold.

The Law of Success

The Law of Success
75th ANNIVERSARY COLLECTOR'S EDITION The Revised, Updated, and Most Complete Edition Ever Published of America's Most Influential and Bestselling Motivational MasterworkIn 1928 Napoleon Hill stunned America when he published the first edition of Law of Success. It was an instant bestseller—unlike anything anyone had ever read before. Aimed at the average person, it offered the collective wisdom of America’s most successful business leaders and it promised readers that if they followed the step-by-step advice, they too would achieve success. And they did. By the hundreds, then the thousands, and finally by the millions. It’s about to happen again. TWENTY YEARS TO RESEARCH AND WRITEThe genesis of Law of Success dates from the day in 1908 when Napoleon Hill was assigned to write a magazine profile on steel baron and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. During their interview Carnegie became so impressed with the young writer that what was to have been a brief interview stretched into a three-day marathon. It concluded with Carnegie offering to introduce Napoleon Hill to the most powerful men in America in order that Hill could learn from each of them the secrets of their success. It was Carnegie’s vision that, in so doing, Hill would formulate a philosophy that could be used by anyone to help create their own success and realize their dreams. For twenty years Napoleon Hill pursued his mission, constantly testing and modifying his theories until they became refined into a set of specific principles that together formed the cohesive philosophy Andrew Carnegie had envisioned. THE MOST COMPLETE EDITION EVER PUBLISHEDOver the years, in its various forms, Law of Success has been reprinted more than fifty times. The first editions presented fifteen basic principles for personal achievement. In later editions The Master Mind, which had been part of the introduction, was expanded and became the sixteenth principle. Later still, Napoleon Hill concluded that there was another key principle—The Universal Law of Cosmic Habitforce—that in effect unified the others. This is the first edition to incorporate all seventeen principles, and it is the most complete and comprehensive edition of The Law of Success ever published. CAREFULLY REVISED AND UPDATEDIn preparing this revised and updated edition of Volume IV, marginal notes have been integrated to provide background information, historical context, and, where applicable, to recommend certain books that complement specific aspects of Napoleon Hill’s philosophy. Additionally, Hill’s original examples and anecdotes have been augmented with contemporary stories that powerfully illustrate the point that the basic principles upon which Law of Success is based are just as relevant and applicable today as they were in 1928. The Law of Success, Volume IV: The Principles of Personal Integrity of Success This volume explains the final five of the Seventeen Principles of Success: Cooperation, Profiting by Failure, Tolerance, The Golden Rule, and The Universal Law of Cosmic Habitforce.
