If you're black and you think that is powerful, pick this up
Books like these are why they planted the "its not cool to read" seed in our culture.
This should be the bible for ALL Afrikans
Singlely the most important book for Black Peoples
Good book but hard to find these days.

If you are already in a position of power...I can see how this book can help you maintain it...after all...in position of power you can employ it's rules with impunity...only someone with more power in your company can stop you from doing it...and if you are "in a position of power" that wont be to many people...
But for the common 9 to 5 worker...come on this shyt will get you in the unemployment line in record time...
For example... this shyt...
Law 20 Do Not Commit to Anyone
As a manager I purposely throw wishy washy people who never take a stand on once side of the fence in the bushes,and i mean deep in the bushes, the part of the bushes that bird shyt drips off to when a seagull flys over head and poops in it...when the emails start flying and i notice that someone on the thread who should be committing on the actions that should be taken never do I instantly go into
mode...next thing you know I am reading the entire thread to see if you ever took a stand at any point ...next thing you know i am searching your name in my inbox to see have you taken a stand on the last few things that came up ...next thing you know when the next big project comes out that everyone wants to be on cause if we do a good job we gonna be getting a real good bonus...i leave you off that project...when you ask why i tell you " i need people who are going to make a decision. I don't remember hearing from you when we were working on project X, or project P before that, or project L before that . See Karyn you can make the right decision, you can make the wrong decision, but what you cannot do is make...no decision 
Not bad...not the best book i've read on the subject but it served its purpose. 48 laws of seduction was a pretty decent one too...

are you going to do it??? is the question
think about most rich people... they don't follow this like a manual, but a lot of it applies... it's all business, fukk personal, and they will pay you 7.50 an hour to slave, lay off 30k people, cheat the wall st system, all while skimming off the top, plus taking 5 million dollar bonuses, plus salary... then go vote republican

I learned a lot for this. More so than the 48 laws.
one of the best books i've ever read. changed my perspective on everything. i think about it almost everyday. i couldn't put it down the first time through, but now anytime i try to read it, it makes me sick to my stomach.
Why?
