It is power, he believes, that most people aspire to and that they find its acquisition alluring. In this Summary you will find high on his list of people to emulate in the acquisition of power are the courtiers of days past. After all courtiers spend their time getting as close to power as they can all while keeping up appearances and bolstering the ego of the ruler.

Some of the topics this summary include: -
