POWER by Jeffrey Pfeffer

BATB score: 9.5/10

Reality slap-in-the-face book for all those optimistic Joys from Inside Out to WAKE UP! A reminder that the world has never been fair and how your hope to bring back justice and world peace already made you a loser. “Power” why some people has it - and others don’t.

A book about how being smart is never enough, how being friends or liked by everyone gets you nowhere, and why power on top of others is what you should aim to have. Filled with anecdotes from lameo and queen bees with power, from friendly idiots who loses power, and from sweethearts still in denial midlife crisis.

Fun fact: this book was recommended to Facebookers by Deb Liu FB VP.

Best for: climbers of corporate ladders 🏆

And best for: people who are willing to do what it takes to get on top ⛰ .

It’s fine if you don’t want to; just know that your colleagues are planning their plots while you walk in with that bubble tea.
