The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli
The prince is one of those books that are not limited to a generation, but that is part of history and culture. The principles it establishes are not only for politics. Moreover, for any aspect of our lives. Much of The Prince is devoted to describing exactly what it means to conduct a good war. But Machiavelli’s description of war encompasses more than just the direct use of military force—it comprises international diplomacy, domestic politics, tactical strategy, geographic mastery, and historical analysis.
To remain in power, a prince must avoid the hatred of his people. It is not necessary for him to be loved; in fact, it is often better for him to be feared. Being hated, however, can cause a prince’s downfall.
Although the book was written years ago, the language the author uses is simple and easy to understand, which is perfect if we are going to teach principles and strategies. He also uses metaphors and many examples to explain better the lessons, which makes it more plausible, no matter (how I said before) the time. Something that I really like about” The Prince” is their examples that it has, they are not fictitious, are historical examples. Facts took and analyzed in a very logical and rational. The Prince is not particularly theoretical or abstract; its prose is simple and its logic straightforward.
This is a book that I wholeheartedly recommend if you are clearly interested in succeeding in all the areas of your life. In this book, you will find many truths that will give you a new perspective.
