The 48 Laws of Power

This is a must read for everybody. I went through the brief descriptions of all 48 laws and have read the first 3 historical case studies. Already, I have noticed, and reflected on, my tendency to use some and break others. I've witnessed events where people had broken and/or abided by some of them. I can also see characteristics in people I know to various degrees who consistently abide and/or break some of these rules.

Warning: Read this book with the belief that there is a Heaven and Hell and that eventually you'll be subject to one or the other. Without keeping an eye towards doing good things this book can lead you down the wrong path.
