The 48 laws of power (By Robert Greene) - Book Review

REVIEW
Any man who tries to be good all the time is bound to come to ruin among the great number who are not good. Hence a prince who wants to keep his authority must learn how not to be good ,and use that knowledge or refrain from using it , as necessity requires. - THE PRINCE, Niccolo Machiavelli, 1496- 1527.

I don't know about anything else, but one thing I do know is that,The 48 laws of power  is a seductively deceptive book, a special elixir for the power-hungry heads, the pathetic rock bottom cruisers (Who are tired of cruising, of course),the Mediocres, and for the society in general.

Quiet [By Susan Cain] - Book Review

About the Author:

Susan Horowitz Cain (born in 1968), was a former lawyer, an American writer and lecturer. She's the author of the 2012 non-fiction book; Quiet; The power of introverts in a world that cannot stop talking. The book Quiet, has been on the New York times bestseller list for over 3 years, and has been translated into 360 languages.

Review:

Today, introversion and extroversion are two of the most exhaustively researched subjects in psychology - arousing the curiosity of hundreds of scientists. In Quiet, Cain carefully analyzes the two types of personalities. She defines introverts as 'People that are drawn to the inner world of thoughts and feelings' and extroverts as 'People that are drawn to the external world of people and activities'. It is passionately argued, impressively researched and filled with indelible stories of real introverted people who ended up being extremely successful innovators of our time.

Power!

Two men

One intimidated by the lady in her

The other, unsatisfied with it

Both actually fail to recognize one thing -

The powers that be

Which she possesses.

When I was younger, my father always told me never to be a liability. He always said, “Mary! You have all it takes to be all you want.” As I grew up, I realized that all he told me was true. All I needed to be comfortable, is within me.
