In his book "The 48 Laws of Power," Robert Greene describes his Big Idea. The book is a how-to manual for anyone seeking power, seeing power, or seeking to arm themselves against it.
Greene saw that today's power elite shared features with other powerful leaders throughout history while working as a writer in Hollywood. Greene's beliefs about universal "Laws of Power" have gained a lot of traction, and they're being studied by the Hollywood elite, politicians, business people, and even inmates in prison. Some colleges in the United States use the ideas as a first-year book.
Greene's novel has been criticized for being manipulative and amoral. His works and ideas, on the other hand, have been a source of inspiration for others.
