Chapter 3. Why power Matters

You are as powerful as others perceive you to be. But this power is limited if you do not understand how they see the situation.

'You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. When you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power — he's free again.'

—Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
