[Sasuke Uchiha]

Not a a work of fiction, but a book that has most certainly changed my life. Not everything within it is gold, however, there are plenty of nuggets in it to make it worth the read.

The 48 Laws of Power. This is a 'Self Help' book, however I use the term vaguely. It's not the type that is full of can do attitude or even has any advice in it... It is a series of rules on how to handle manipulation. Life can be like chess, in which you make moves in order to obtain a better vantage point. This book details many of the moves you can use to do so, or, on the other hand, the moves that are being used against you in order for an opponent to get an advantage on you.

For me, the work most effectively correlated to the sales office environment I experience everyday at my job. Many of you may feel off-put by the vibe in which the book presents itself, however, I implore you, even from a defensive stand point, to give it a read. As the book states, the game is happening whether you chose to play or not, and so it is better to be armed than to cry about it. Chosing not to play wont stop others from playing against you.
