Real-world research shows that the “good person” (one for whom means are as important as the ends) often loses to the unprincipled man (for whom ends are all that matters). The three main reasons for this are:
- He cannot comprehend how the immoral man thinks, works or makes his moves
- He lacks battle skills and doesn’t know how to fight back
- He is often egoistic about his honesty, whereas the immoral man subjugates his ego to greed and teams up with others
This book prepares the good person towards:
- Comprehending evil moves
- Executing powerful antidotes
- Converting his virtues into competitive tools and building powerful collaborations with men like himself & win decisively
Free of platitudes and unproven recommendations, this book is backed by extensive research, and can lead men to victory in the real world. It has relevance to all walks of life. It takes one on a voyage to success through the route of anecdotes, real-life examples and logical explanations. The book is like a well-researched argument through which Choudary debunks the Machiavellian belief that ‘a good man hasn’t got a chance in the real world’ very systematically.
