The Prince

The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by Niccolò Machiavelli. Throughout his lifetime and in the years that followed, Machiavelli, an Italian diplomat, was best known for his strategic thinking in the world of politics and power. Machiavelli’s writings have remained timely and highly controversial.

The Prince is often claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy, especially modern political philosophy, in which the effective truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal. The Prince has the general theme of accepting that the aims of princes—such as glory and survival—can justify the use of immoral means to achieve those ends. You will learn: • The best way to prepare for conflict • The traits of strong and weak leaders • How to secure loyalty from others • How to best deal with your enemies • If it’s better to be feared or loved • The best kinds of friends and allies

Using his philosophy on psychology and power to achieve everything you set out to do, The Prince will provide you with the fundamental traits that help to cultivate a successful leader.
