This review is from: Power: The Infinite Game (Paperback)
This book was very interesting and full of insights on looking at your interaction with the world in a different light and different interpretation. Its all about using power and that there are rules (that is where the game comes in) that if you follow then results will too. I enjoyed this and glad I stumbled across it.
