The Politics of Life: 25 Rules for Survival in a Brutal and Manipulative World by Craig Crawford
livvalentine's review
3.0
If you ever catch Crawford on MSNBC, he comes across as a self-deprecating fellow whose often goofy demeanor masks any truly negative feelings he has about the political figures he discusses. After reading this book, it is clear that this demeanor is part of his personal philosophy of how to get ahead in life while really, really trying.
Adapting Machiavellian philosophy to his 21st century purpose, Crawford develops a list of rules defined in detail and elaborated upon by use of personal anecdotes. Though occasionally tedious reading, the rules are in and of themselves great advice for the person active in adult life. My personal favorite...the one about how rewards are not the goal of a job well done.
