The 50th Law by Robert Greene and 50 Cent


I'm currently reading an insightful book: The 50th Law by Robert Greene and 50 Cent. I know what your thinking, oh G'z another biography about a gangster turned into a rapper, actor, entrepreneur, executive producer and now self acclaimed writer...Pssh! As trite as it may seem, 50 collaborated with 3 Time NYT best-selling author of The 48 Laws of Power, Robert Green. The 48 Laws of Power is about the art of war, seduction and power. Greene interprets Curtis Jackson's story of growing up on the streets as a drug dealer and applying his honed fearlessness in the corporate world. This book is about realism and how to look at all problems with out fear and overcoming them. Every issue or problem has a resolution, but you have to get over the fear of failure and look at these challenges as opportunities. It's an easy read compared to The 48 Laws of Power, intense! For some reason, I find the best books at the bookstore/news stand at LAX airport while I'm waiting to board flights to Honolulu. The reason why this book leaped out at me was it's black and gold embossed leather-like book cover, satin ribbon bookmark and gold finished paper. Yeah, I judged this book by it's cover...
