I just ordered, "The 48 Laws of Power"

[Luveno]

I've read some of it, and I found quite a few glaring contradictions within the text.

Sure, everyone says CEOs read it, but does anyone know of any specific, successful CEOs that have? Sure rap guys read it, but they're only rich because some CEO is letting them be rich. And prison gangs....since I'm not in prison, this demographic doesn't apply.

Thus, I kind of think its cash-grabby and not well researched.

That's actually the part I wonder the most. There is a ton of historical information in the book but I have to question how much of it is true? and to what extent? He doesn't cite any sources. He could very well be exaggerating his stories (especially the ones that go back to ancient history). I'm sure others have wondered this? I can't be the only one.

Edit: Nevermind. There is a bibliography.
