Consider The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. Recommended by 23 sources.
“The 48 Laws of Power reads like a Machiavellian field guide, each chapter laying out a law with historical examples, observations, and reversals. The book’s strength is its unflinching look at realpolitik across centuries, helping you spot and deploy power moves in boardrooms and beyond. However, its amoral stance and repetitive structure can grate, and Greene’s selective historical anecdotes may oversimplify complex situations. It’s best absorbed in small doses; reading straight through feels like a cynical binge.”
