Summary

Perhaps one of the most influential and controversial books in history, Machiavelli’s The Prince raises issues that are still debated centuries after its publication. The theories he developed in The Prince were derived from his observation of the successes and failures of the ruling class. The Prince was designed as a practical guide for newly appointed rulers and is required reading for all persons in a position of authority who strive for grandeur in business and politics.

So that is Machiavelli

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If leadership is part of your life or future it is a must.

Any additional comments?

It is a book that requires ajustment due to historical context. Worth finding the pause button to add the ideas to your own context.
I know of the word Machiavelli but now I can give the man some due credit for his work.
