This thread is for Holla Forums approved books on the nature of, laws of, and keys to, power. READ THESE IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE FOR BEST RESULT
1.) "Being and Time" by Martin Heidegger isn't actually a book about power. It is the most important of these, though, because it is the foundation by which you, as your Will, must learn to orient yourself, to best apply Principles of Power.
2.) Ahh. A classic. "The Will to Power" by Friedrich Nietzsche is my favorite book by Nietzsche. It actually wasn't written by him; it is simply a compendium of his various journal entries throughout his life compiled by his family. I think it is the best because it is the Raw Deal, it's how he actually thought, before being put into prose.
3.) "The 48 Laws of Power" by (((Robert Greene))) is great. You can find it on youtube (below). THIS IS TRUMP'S PLAYBOOK. Listen to this book for about half an hour or so, and you can easily see how Trump has either read this book, or understands these things intuitively, or was taught something similar by Wharton School of Finance and his father.

4.) "The Art of the Deal" by Donald J. Trump. Very "Machiavellian" in nature, he provides his own "keys to power" in it, and it is highly applicable to today.
5.) "The Prince" of course by Niccolo Machiavelli is where the term "Machiavellian" comes from. Despite this, of the books on my list, I think that The Prince is the LEAST helpful to the modern person, seeking to gain power in a "machiavellian" way. This is why this one is last, it is least relevant to today, as well as, he doesn't go into very concise detail as to how to achieve the things he suggests you achieve.
Post More please. I am looking for more books on topic that are the most easily absorbed and applied.
