From his perspective in Renaissance Italy, Machiavelli's aim in this classic work was to resolve conflict with the ruling prince, Lorenzo de Medici. Machiavelli based his insights on the way people really are rather than an ideal of how they should be. This is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince, a king, or a president.

Cool book
Revisado: 01-01-17
Although this book is a guide for princes in 16th century, there are still some elements applicable today.
What I learned:
- importance of seeing life as accurately as ones senses allow you to. Most people see life as they want to see it, instead of seeing it as it is.
-it was mentioned how important it is to have consultants that speak honest truth and reward them for being honest. Nowadays that could mean having friends that are completely honest with you, even if saying something that might shock/offend you. This might give you another perspective on a given situation, which you didn't see before.
- True loyalty cannot be earned with money only, but actually with investing time in your people/employees.
There was a lot of references to people, princes and regions of that era that they modern person just doesn't know, so it's mine to be confusing at the time, but if you are concentrated you can still understand the gist of the chapters.
I enjoyed the speakers voice, I think it's a good fit for the topic.

Weaving insights from philosophy, neuroscience, and history into a rich narrative, The Shallows explains how the internet is rerouting our neural pathways, replacing the subtle mind of the book reader with the distracted mind of the screen watcher. A gripping story of human transformation played out against a backdrop of technological upheaval, The Shallows will forever alter the way we think about media and our minds.

It is not consistant, so it is frustrating.
