BRAINPICKING ROBERT GREENE: HIS KEY IDEAS ABOUT POWER

UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT, TACTICS, AND SUBTLETIES OF POWER PLAYS

ABOUT THIS BOOK

According to Greene, "power is the ability to act and make others act." In other words, power is about control and influence. You can have a lot of money or popularity, but if you don't have any power over these things, then they are useless to you.

Greene says that power is also about the ability to get what you want in life, regardless of what anyone else thinks or feels about it. It's about creating opportunities for yourself because no one else will do it for you—if you want something done right, do it yourself!
