The Big Idea

Greene's 48 laws are a map of the power games people play in every office and family. Read them as a field guide: recognise the game, refuse most of it, and use only the few moves that stay honest.

Somewhere around you this week someone will take credit, withhold information or flatter before a request. Seeing the move clearly is the difference between being played and choosing your answer.
