RECOMMENED READING
I read The Prince by Machiavelli, and have actually read it more than once. Its fascinating, how that book is so accurate at breaking down human nature and how to maneuver thru it, to bring oneself into a position of power. I have 5 books, which, I would consider a starter pack for focusing one's energy on eventual prominence. I would begin with The Hagakure, The Art of War, The Prince, 48 Laws of Power, and last the 50th Law of Power. These books grant a wealth of knowledge to assist one, in being strategic, and understanding the pitfalls of competition. I would also add, a book on psychology to better understand how humanity thinks, as well as, a book on defeating one's own ego. While the books on warfare are essential, on the subject of combat with ones enemies, whether eminent or perceived, it can easily be applied in one's daily life. I must forewarn, that the mentality of war, is very addicting, and you will see things in a very different light. Which is why I must, include books on psychology, and the ego, because although the books on warfare and power explain how to handle oneself in those situations, they don't get in depth as to why. In order to be successful, and maneuver within the realm or war and power, you have to understand people's minds and how their emotions work.
The entire subject is fascinating, and one that will open your eyes. Now, there's tons of books, you can use to guide you in these aspects, but, I am simply offering a starting point. If you wish to advance, or just want to boost your knowledge, then, give these books a read. I am not an avid reader, but, when my curiosity gets sparked about a subject or book, I will read about it. I have a hard time focusing on reading as well, my mind jumps around a lot and the words won't sink in. However, these books are simple enough to retain the knowledge being given to the reader. If you haven't already, I would encourage you to look into these books as a basis for advancement, and improvement. Ready for war, always. Makes sense. -925
