Laws of Power: Daily Deck

The 48 Laws of Power

The laws, explained one at a time

The 48 Laws of Power is a 1998 book by Robert Greene. Each of its 48 chapters states one law about how power is gained, kept and lost, and illustrates it with stories from history.

These pages explain the laws one at a time in plain words: what each law says, what it looks like in real life, and when it backfires. Each ends with a question to sit with and one thing to try.

One idea a day, in your pocket.
