The 48 Laws of power pdf free download – Robert Greene: First I would like to thank Anna Biller, who helped edit and research this book, and whose valuable insights played a critical role in the shape and content of The 48 Laws. Without her, none of this would have been possible.
I must also thank my dear friend Michiel Schwarz, who involved me in the art school Fabrika in Italy and introduced me to Joost Elffers, my partner and producer of The 48 Laws of Power. In the scheming world of Fabrika, Joost and I saw the timelessness of Machiavelli, and from our discussions in Venice, Italy, this book was born.

I would also like to thank Les and Sumiko Biller, who lent me their library on Japanese history and helped me with the Japanese Tea Ceremony part of the book. Similarly, I must thank my good friend Elizabeth Yang who advised me on Chinese history.

My parents, Laurette and Stanley Green deserve endless thanks for their patience and support.
And I must not forget to pay tribute to my cat, Boris, who kept me company throughout the never-ending days of writing.
Finally, to those people in my life who have so skillfully used the game of power to manipulate, torture, and cause me pain over the years, I bear you no grudges and I thank you for supplying me with inspiration for The 48 Laws of Power.
