Machiavellian Strategy Revisited
Author: Rodney Ohebsion

"He who suits his action to fit the times will prosper, but he whose actions do not accord with the times will not be successful." Italian philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli wrote this statement nearly 500 years ago in his legendary book The Prince--which has been treasured for centuries as a practical and useful guide to general life strategy and leadership.

Now Niccolo Machiavelli's valuable insights have been unleashed in a clear, efficient, and vibrant format in the new book A Collection of Wisdom. In it, author Rodney Ohebsion has taken the most relevant and valuable information in Machiavelli’s The Prince, and has organized it and put it into language that can be quickly and effectively utilized by readers.

A Collection of Wisdom teaches insights from Machiavelli’s The Prince such as:

- the value of studying and understanding themes of human nature, such as how most people, in general, have a primary interest in themselves, are mostly concerned with their property and honor, are usually are dishonest in times of distress, are often herd-minded, and are prone to trusting appearances and public opinion

- the benefits of cultivating your skill by observing other people and learning from their good points, and also by utilizing and balancing the effective aspects of the lion (strength & ferocity) and the fox (cunning & perceptive)

- the need for being very selective of who you take advice from, knowing how to make sure your advisors respect you and don’t take advantage of you, and always using your own brain to make the final decisions of importance

- realizing the tremendous influence that fear plays in people’s behavior, and utilizing it

- understanding that chance and skill both play a significant role in matters, and maximizing your success through using foresight and adapting your behavior to suit the time
