How to take control of power
To those who seek power, or who watch power, or who seek what will protect them from the scourge of power... Some play with power and lose it in a fatal mistake. Some of them exaggerate or fall short in it. And there are others who prepare the full equipment and are able to take power to their side with an ingenuity that is superhuman.
Throughout the ages, scholars and philosophers have asked: What lessons should we learn from the successes and failures of our ancestors? Although there have been diverse writings on power for more than three thousand years, there are factors that intertwine them all in recurring themes, ideas that hint at the essence of power and hint at the modulating properties of its increase and decrease.
