I also read the book (listened to it while swimming.) I must mention it was listed on YC’s Winter Reading List [1] right above 48 Laws of Power which I also read, however, that book has since disappeared from the list, presumably due to some of its non-PC and brutally honest manipulative methods to power it prescribes. How can I unread it now YC?
48 laws of power is a great book. In the same way that Machiavelli's "The Prince" is great. For the most part it's not a "how to" book but a book that opens up a view of how the world works. I see a reflection of the rules in many of the famous people that run the world. Steve Jobs was a master of some of them. I highly recommend it. It should go back on the list.

Sorry this is entirely off-topic, but what do you use while swimming to listen to audio?
[1] Waterproof iPod shuffle bought it on Amazon. Just clip it on to your goggles and you're good to go. Works incredibly well.
