What Would Machiavelli Do?
He would feast on other people's discord
He wouldn't exactly seek the company of ass-kissers and bimbos, but he wouldn't reject them out of hand either
He would realize that loving yourself means never having to say you're sorry
He would kill people, but only if he could feel good about himself afterward
He would establish and maintain a psychotic lev...more

I find it amazing that many reviewers cannot see good sarcasm when it hits them in their head. I have read many reviews of this book that mistake it for being actual advice on how to run your business. Some skeptics even suggest that Mr. Bing ought to have put out a disclaimer stating 'this is a work of sarcasm'.
This book is very funny and I found myself laughing out loud on several occasions.
The book is basically a recipe of what to do if you plan on being a totally self-centered asshole with...more

The basic joke is good for a little while, but not enough to sustain a whole book, and it's been rendered less humorous by the events of the Bush years. The basic theme is that the author is, tongue in cheek, advocating the adoption of total ruthlessness, abusiveness, and amorality as an interpersonal style. The problem for me is that after all the corporate and political scandals of the last eight years, after the Iraq war, it's not very funny anymore, and I can't read this without seeing the f...more
Kitabın ana fikri çok güzel, Makyavelli ne yapardı? Fakat işlenişini çok başarısız buldum ve kitap çok fazla argoya boğulmuş.

This book is about business practices in the way Machiavelli might do them. From how to handle your employees to handling your superiors, it teaches unconventional business practices that the author claims works. The book itself uses strong language in a lot of areas. It teaches about grudges, paranoia, and even poor response to criticism as a way of management. 'If they feel like there's something you need to know about your behavior or performance, so be it. Let them talk. But make them pay.'...more
This started of promising, and to some extent amusing/entertaining...but I didn't realise the tone and style of book (amusing ..and perhaps bemusing even) will be consistent all the way through...I had an audio version and being honest there were problems with the audio file at times which muted some audio at times, but everytime it would fix itself didn't motivate me to keep listening and catch my enthusiasm again
I'd highly recommend Rpbert Greene's work like 48 laws of power etc which is 100%...more

As a tongue-in-cheek tour of bad behavior and its obvious disbenefits, the book is fun. The good writing and humor rescue it from uselessness. Only piece of advice I found worth remembering: [in the text of the need to be ultra-paranoid:] 'And for goodness sake, don't forget to leave at least 90 percent of your paranoia at the office! it's a great way to manage your professional life, but as a personal strategy, it stinks!' OK, so it's not really so great professionally, either, but it's a remin...more
The book is a fake how-to manual for people who are looking to climb the corporate ladder. It might be the funniest non-fiction book that I have ever read. The author's stories about real Machiavellian managers running companies make the book great. Although, I will admit that if you are a person who actually has to answer to a terrible manager in real life, you may not see the humor in some of these stories.

I'm a long, long way from the corporate world, and I'm all in favour of downshifting and simple living, so the applicability of the Machiavellian advice is far from happening. But, hey, I do enjoy humour and business anecdotes!
This is a fantastic, really funny book on how evil can help get where you want to, and I loved reading it. I wouldn't recommend it unless you have an open mind, though!

Quien Fue Maquiavelo
Not funny. Terrible advice. Also, oddly specific about the examples.
Firstly, when I saw this on the shelf at the library amongst the other books about leadership, I said, aloud, 'Just read 'The Prince!' Machiavelli literally tells you what he would do in that book.
However, this is a satirical account of Machiavellian values as applicable to business, and thus should not be taken seriously. Interestingly, Bing mentions Trump and Weinstein in this book, doing neither any favours with his writing, and it makes for a different reading experience in 2018 than I pre...more

This book is meant to be funny. The author bases his modern business advice on Machiavelli’s classic book. It can be summed up in one phrase from the book in which he advises the reader to dig deep to find the foulest aspects of their personality. It was funny to begin with but the humour wore thin in a few pages because in recent years we have had so many examples of people behaving exactly like this and we have seen the damage that it does to real people in real life. Interestingly he mentions...more

What would Machiavelli Do? Bing’s book is remarkably amusing when applying this satirical question to this our modern day.
Think of it as a tongue in cheek how to, for those who usually think only of others and want to follow in the footsteps of the master of hedonism.
A funny read, one not to be taken too seriously, however human nuances are quite intriguing when viewed from the aside.
If you loved Greene’s ‘48 Laws of Power’ and ‘Mastery’, you will appreciate Bing’s “guide”.
This book is absolutely hysterical!!! More so because of the reviews that actually presumed there would be legitimate solid advice waiting for them. LOL. It’s over the top, blunt, witty, satirical, unapologetic theme is exactly what I needed to read while my planes were delayed over and over again at the airport. A real gut-buster I tell you. Pay no attention to the bozos trying to deter you away from a belly full of laughter. Read this gem.
If you ever wanted a clear insight to be an @sshole for a boss, or what drives a person to be one, this is a good book to learn all about that. lol
A lot of what is in here would not be taught in Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts, but this will help get you on track for a life of being Ebenezer Scrooge.
There are those that you may know where you can just refer to them as Machiavelli now.

Witty and brief. Best read in short periods so the tone does not diminish your enjoyment.
I get that it's a joke, it's just that it's not actually that funny and became tiresome after the first few pages
Not impressed by this book. Doesn't appear to have been edited properly, no excuse for spelling errors in a book.
The book is humorous at times but most of it falls flat.

More satire than real advice, it's amusing to see how many of examples he's listed have turned out twenty years later. But for a better translation of Machiavelli, look elsewhere.
Feb 22, 2017Carrie rated it really liked it
Hilarious audiobook, interesting anecdotes, not sure about actual practical advice except maybe when you're climbing the corporate ladder in a brutal environment. I think executive types have this sort of tendency naturally and the book doesn't help those who do not have the natural tendency.

This was a really interesting book and very helpful in understanding business 'princes', a.k.a. bosses. I can just hear some business guru spewing the contents of this book during some work seminar/workshop, teaching the attendees about Michiavellian mentality. I appreciate the ideas behind this book and a lot of it makes sense. Some of it actually already applies to me (scary enough) but it will take a little more time for me to be as mean as this book requires.... *sigh* sadly, my loser instin...more
I liked this book, but didn't love it. It is a very tongue and cheek way to look at the world of business. While I do agree with some of the points Bing makes about being a busines man/woman, some are just very far-fetched and would only really work for high-powered CEO's. Could you imagine going to work and yelling as often and as loudly as you wanted at everyone? Or knowing that your long-time secretary has the trip of a lifetime planned but you coax her into coming into work and canceling her...more
Genial, maléfico y sarcástico. Me he topado en mi vida profesional con personas que se adaptan a la perfección con el perfil de este libro y sorprendentemente son existosas!! Si!! Exitosas pero irónicamente solitarias. ¿Despues de todo, para que te sirve tanto éxito si no tienes con quien compartirlo? De mi parte sólo puedo decir que me he identificado en par de puntitos y no me queda más que admitir que existe una fina linea entre el respeto y el miedo, ingredientes necesarios, entre algunos ot...more

I picked up this book for the first time when it was initially released many years ago. I've always enjoyed Machiavelli- Florentine Renaissance internecine politics is a good subject to study early in one's career, but I've learned, being MEAN just get's people mad. I reformed my ways, and now, reading this book again many years later- it just makes me ill. I'm revising my rating and downgrading it with the following quote from another favorite author:
“This is not a novel to be tossed aside ligh...more
Fun little book that is disturbingly close to real life self-help books.
This is a satirical how-to succeed at life book, purporting to teach the reader how to think and act as a completely A-moral prick. It is full of examples of business types who have made it through the top through sociopathics and prefect selfishness... and bullshit, so much bullshit.
Being 14 years old at this point I think things have moved forward so that much of the humour in the sheer excess of certain actions have beco...more

When I think of self-centered, egotistical, un-caring, mean persons, I cannot believe they know or have experienced much love, happiness, or peace. Stanley Bing, in his little book, promotes being self-centered, egotistical, uncaring, meanness as a way of life that is supposed to bring with it success and power. His philosophy may serve as a crutch to success or compensate little people for their littleness but it is not a recipe for love, happiness, or peace.
Poor Mr. Bing and the little people...more
This is possibly the worst book I've ever read. I feel like it was written by a 15 year old angry teenager living with his parents who has smoked a bit too much weed,, believes every conspiracy theory going and is avoided by girls for being a freak.
The fact it was written by a columnist at Fortune magazine will ensure that I never waste my money on an issue of that magazine.
I don't think Hitler, Sadam Hussein, Pol Pot or Slobodan Milosevic are the type of people I want to learn from.

I know what machiavelli would do!! he would surely NOT recommend this book....the author failed to understand Machiavellianism in more than one way.Machiavelli said that if love can do the job then fear is not required. this aspect completely ignored by the author . sadly this book has sensationalism and humor which makes it a BESTSELLER . read 'THE PRINCE ' by machiavelli to get the real thing and ignore this second rate book.
Quite a bizarre book. The advice is probably valid if all you want to do is succeed in the business world, regardless of your health, happiness and relationships with other people, but most of the points in the book aren't advice I would give to my worst enemy.
Guess I have all this empathy getting in the way of my success.
