About this product
Product Information
Inspired by the famed sixteenth-century philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli, journalist and pundit Craig Crawford offers 25 pithy rules for surviving the politics of everyday life. The rules will at times seem hard and cruel, perhaps even immoral. But that is what comes with the turf when you are learning to deal with others as they actually behave, not how you imagine them.
