I know that I shouldnt give a title like that to a tool book but I cant find better descriptions. Perhaps I disliked the clean and scholarly writing of the author so I found it dull and boring. May be I think the real world is much dirtier than what the author thought and fought. Or I had too favorable an experience with "The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene", a book much more machiavellian and applicable in my case. I did try hard to finish reading it but I failed. In short, readable, but far from excellent.
p.s. As there's no table of content here on Amazon, I would like to take the priviledge to type one for you here:-
Ch 1 The principles of power
Ch 2 Who and where: weave your web
Ch 3 How: earning the currency of power
Ch 4 When: seize the moment
Ch 5 What: pulling the levers of power
Ch 6 Why: use it or lose it
