It is considered an important guide to power strategies and social skills. This book is a guide for those who desire power, or who want to study it and want to protect themselves from it. It condenses 3,000 years of human history of power, the multifaceted nature of power: the book emphasizes that power is multifaceted, and can be used for both positive purposes, such as leadership and influence, as well as manipulative and selfish purposes. The 48 Law of Power is controversial for its candid and sometimes seemingly unforgiving views of power. Some commentators have pointed out that these laws may encourage unethical and manipulative behavior.
