Sunny's Reviews > The 50th Law

This book quite simply has to be one of the best management / business related books I have ever read. It’s about 50 cent the rapper and Robert Greene who is a business writer. The book is about fearing nothing essentially and uses fiddys life as the string through which some of the key morals and principles of the book are skilfully weaved. It essentially proselytises the carpe diem mentality which saw 50 cent through all sorts of travesty in his life. He was orphaned very early and got into hustling and then a few weeks before his first album was going to be launched he got 9 bullets pumped into him one of which went into his jaw. But he got back up again, changed, adapted and carried on. The book looks at some other very important characters in time and especially the qualities that made them excellent leaders. Highly recommended if you work in business. Very Machiavellian in places and definitely worth the read.
