    About this ebook

    The Prince is a 16th-century political treatise by Niccolò Machiavelli. Throughout his lifetime and in the years that followed, Machiavelli, an Italian diplomat, was best known for his strategic thinking in the world of politics and power.
    Machiavelli’s writings have remained timely and highly controversial. The Prince is often claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy, especially modern political philosophy, in which the effective truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal.
    The Prince has the general theme of accepting that the aims of princes—such as glory and survival—can justify the use of immoral means to achieve those ends.
    You will learn:
• The best way to prepare for conflict • The traits of strong and weak leaders • How to secure loyalty from others
• How to best deal with your enemies • If it’s better to be feared or loved
• The best kinds of friends and allies
    Using his philosophy on psychology and power to achieve everything you set out to do, The Prince will provide you with the fundamental traits that help to cultivate a successful leader.

    Niccolo Machiavelli

    Niccolò Machiavelli was born on 3 May 1469 in Florence during the city-state's peak of greatness under the Medici family. In 1494, the year the Medici were exiled, Machiavelli entered Florentine public service. In 1498 he was appointed Chancellor and Secretary to the Second Chancery. Serving as a diplomat for the republic, Machiavelli was an emissary to some of the most distinguished people of the age. When the Medici were returned to Florence in 1512, Machiavelli was forced into retirement. In the years that followed he devoted himself to literature, producing not only his most famous work, The Prince, but also the Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livius (First Decade here means First Ten Books), his Art of War and The History of Florence. In 1527 the Medici were once again expelled from Florence, but before Machiavelli was able once again to secure political office in the city he died on 22 June 1527.
