The Prince

Author: Niccolò Machiavelli

Machiavelli’s “The Prince” is a timeless masterpiece that still sends chills down my spine. Its raw, unapologetic take on power and politics feels as relevant today as it did in 16th century Italy. I found myself nodding along to some of his pragmatic advice, then recoiling at the ruthlessness of others. It’s a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a brilliant, if controversial, political thinker. Love it or hate it, this book will make you question everything you thought you knew about leadership.

The ends justify the means.
