Review: The Prince

Author: Niccolo Machiavelli

I have finally read “The Prince”.  It has been referenced in a lot of the work I have been consuming.  The time had come to learn about what it is to be Machiavellian.  It belongs next to Sun Xu’s “The Art of War” as a guide to thinking about strategy in life, especially when concerned with political power.  It is good to know, but I doubt I will be a Prince anywhere.  It provides a useful lens through which to look at our contemporary Prince’s.   I will hold it in the back of my mind in the contemplation of life.
