THE PRINCE | This audiobook will help you understand what people mean when they say "Machiavellian". It will help you
protect yourself from and take advantage of the theories of The Prince that many use to obtain power
and develop competitive superiority. The Prince is a real world study of how power is gained and maintained. The Prince describes the process of gaining and administering power. Machiavelli outlines "the game rules" between competitive humans. It is readily applied with a little imagination to a team, company, group, institutional, or governmental context. The Prince is one of the true classics of Western Civilization and its principles have been used by a numerous and diverse group of Western (and probably Eastern) leaders including, undoubtedly Abraham Lincoln, Hitler, and many Presidents and CEO's of Western Corporations. It is a blue print of how to top others and gain power, and to secure and enlarge power. More than just theory The Prince is a study of strategy as applied with politics and cunning to gain power. The Prince portrays the chaotic, tumultuous world of 16th century Europe and of earlier periods to provide context to his theories. Machiavelli clearly imparts his belief that mal deeds may be required by a leader for the greater good of all. Machiavelli imparts that religious and moral values are inappropriate in competition. The most desirable choice is circumstantially dependent. Machiavelli essentially theorizes that decency, honesty, and religion can not be observed by "a prince" as it may imperil their state. The realization of goals are more important than any other consideration - the end is more important than the means "it is better to be feared than loved." The Prince also relates to psychology and depicts methods of gaining and staying in power, to maintain a fair and stable governance. Machiavelli expresses that the ruler must be loved or feared. The Prince has been lauded and defiled as a theoretical study of amoral beliefs and political trickery. Machiavelli was a savvy Italian politician and lady's man with much of the information being quite useful in the most difficult war and complex political negotiation: women. Most of the concepts of this book are still true and applicable today and readily applied to modern business and competition. It is an essential study for those in competitive environments and situations. Success can certainly be achieved in ways other than Machiavelli depicts; However, if for only self-protection it is prudent to know the Machiavellian theories so you can recognize it and protect yourself from those who use it. |

The Republic by Plato | The Fount of Western Thought ? The Republic is still relevant and popular 2,500 years after it was written: Plato's "Republic" may be the most influential work in the history of Western Philosophy. The Republic abounds with profound thought and is a "must know" for intelligent people. It is a study of morals and psychology, politics, and philosophy. Plato was striving for the theoretical good: individual perfection as part of a larger societal perfection. The Republic is a series of arguments some of which are humorous. The dialogue is easy to follow as it proceeds step by step before coming to a conclusion - some of which is quite contrary to modern beliefs. The philosophy may seem extremist especially in comparison with our current societal humanism and hedonism. The Republic forwards a state of high moral standards and self-control. Some of the ideas may be considered extreme: for example censorship, avoiding emotion, government regulation of sex, and other ideas even more controversial. The Republic explores a wide range of subjects from spiritual to political. It is very helpful for individuals to put their lives in perspective. Philosophical contemplation and governance was highly regarded. Also highly regarded are as those who realize self-control and are skilful with argument and dialectics ( argument - counter argument - synthesis [ conclusion]) in their pursuit of knowledge. It is full of memorable and timeless precepts - many worth memorizing and integrating into your life. |

The Trial and Death of Socrates | The Search For Truth: The philosophy, honor, and death of Socrates. The Greek philosopher Socrates is often acknowledged as the founder of Western Philosophy. Socrates was was born in the 5 century BC. Socrates advocated examination and development of self : "know thyself." He advocated an ascetic lifestyle. Much of Socrates philosophy survived and was later incorporated into the Christian religion and philosophy. Socrates lived a simple life and denounced the frivolous, extravagant,worldly, and hypocritical lifestyle of many wealthy and powerful Athenians. Because of these views, Socrates was prosecuted and later sentenced to death for his beliefs. Socrates could have avoided his death sentence if he had betrayed his beliefs. His death proved the ruin of his accusers and the germ of his greater fame. Plato was Socrates dedicated disciple and carefully documented Socrates' philosophy and trial. This audiobook consists of 4 chapters documenting, the philosophy, trial, and death of Socrates in the 5th century BC Greece. 1) The dialogue is on the nature of piety. 2) Socrates' "Apology" documents the accusations and Socrates' rebuttal as he was tried in the Athenian courts. Socrates asserts that God is the source of wisdom: not his fellow man and the arts. 3) In "Crito" Socrates deliberated with those that wanted Socrates to save himself and flee Athens. 4) "Phaedo" is Socrates' last dialogue and ends with him poisoning himself as ordered. Socrates was not afraid of death: he believed the physical world is impermanent and the soul is immortal. The logic and moralism of Socrates is fully revealed in this audiobook. More than Socrates' logic and philosophy his death and influence of Plato have made Socrates and his work immortal. This audiobook can bring about an understanding of a profound philosophy and a paradigm shift in your life. |

The Wealth of Nations | How to transform a person or nation from poverty to material success. The Wealth of Nations is a program that can change your economic situation for the better. Like Clausewitz's "On War" and Plato's "Republic", The Wealth of Nations is one of the often unread but true classics. Familiarity with The Wealth of Nations should be considered mandatory for those wishing to understand capitalism and succeed in a free-market economic system. Adam Smith details a through, systematic, and well supported study of the true nature of money and its use. Although Smith's work is over two hundred years it remains clear and very applicable. Among the many concepts in it Smith states that productivity will determine the living standard, and productivity is improved by specialization. Smith proceeds to teach the individual, company (or institutional) and governmental factors that relate to productivity. He also analyzes market forces and their impact on companies and individuals. Far from promoting greed and selfishness, The Wealth of Nations is a work that shows how people and nations can enhance their well being and those of their society by wisely applying themselves in their work. |

On War by Clausewitz | The study of "total war", politics, and power,
On War is the most respected study of military strategies and tactics by those in the
military and high level politicians. On War is an exhaustive study on war, its cause, politics, and the power behind it. Clausewitz believes that war and politics must be considered in combination. On War is a difficult to follow at times, due it being written in the context of 19th century European war and politics; however, it is systematic and unmatched in power and effectiveness. On War proceeds from the basic elements of war (conflict and aggression) and proceeds to throughly cover all the main aspects and many ancillary aspects of war. Why does war occur ? What is its nature ? How can success be obtained ? Total war, the politics of war, external factors and much more are considered as part of a systematic military blueprint built to achieve the enemies' subjugation. It is the most comprehensive study of the theory of war and its strategies and tactics available. With a little imagination the On War is readily applied to virtually any competitive situation. On War is essential reading for anyone in any competitive or strategic position / situation - especially leaders. |
