Review # 1 was written on 2014-11-24 00:00:00 Johannes S�re I wish I could give this to a younger version of myself, but to be fair I feel this way about most of the books I read. Never has there been a more useful book written detailing the realities of the world and how we should orient ourselves in it, in particular in the business world, as most people are grossly unprepared to enter this arena and formal education has done little to remedy it. Understand: all around us a game is being played, most people can't recognize it and few are capable of playing it, fewer still are those that are capable of winning it. Learn to play the game.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-06-09 00:00:00 Rich Boi Either this book is seriously dated (my copy says 1975 on the copyright date) or I just haven't risen to the importance necessary to employ the tactics described in this book. Some of it, like when he says 'people you know are more fun to control than people you don't', made me feel downright greasy. If crap like that is what it takes to get ahead at high levels of power, I'll consider myself blessed just to be a peon. There are some bits of wisdom and humorous anecdotes on human behavior. If you choose to read this book, do it so you can recognize when some tool tries to play games and subconsciously exert their power on you.
