'Lavora con più forza, lavora con più astuzia' è l'autobiografia schietta e avvincente di Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, rapper di successo mondiale, sopravvissuto a una sparatoria e nove colpi di pistola, imprenditore con un patrimonio di oltre 155 milioni di dollari. Senza peli sulla lingua, Jackson racconta come da un'infanzia trascorsa sulle strade del Queens, tra spaccio, violenza e gansta, sia giunto poco più che ventenne ai vertici delle classifiche con il suo album d'esordio, registrato nonostante gli ambienti della malavita avessero imposto alle etichette discografiche il divieto di collaborare con lui. Ma soprattutto racconta la storia del cambio di rotta intrapreso un decennio fa, quando da artista hip-hop al culmine della carriera ha deciso di diventare un imprenditore nel settore televisivo. In questo libro, 50 Cent condivide i duri insegnamenti appresi sulla sua pelle, riassumendoli in lezioni che combinano forza e astuzia: non avere paura, costruire la propria squadra, conoscere il proprio valore, evolvere o morire, imparare dagli altri, fare attenzione alla trappola delle lusinghe. Un libro che scuote la categoria dei libri di self help e aiuta i lettori a gestire con successo i cambiamenti che sconvolgono le loro vite.

In un mondo che richiede resilienza e adattabilità, 'La 50ª legge' si presenta come un moderno manifesto per l'impavidità e l'empowerment. Prendendo spunto dalla straordinaria esperienza di 50 Cent, icona dell'hip hop rinato mille volte, e attraverso aneddoti tratti dalle vite di personaggi illustri come Napoleone, Hemingway, John F. Kennedy che hanno superato le difficoltà grazie all'osservanza di una semplice regola, Robert Greene, autore bestseller, ci regala con maestria una saggezza senza tempo, aiutando i lettori a vincere le proprie paure, ad abbracciare il cambiamento e a diventare padroni del proprio destino. Greene compone una ideale «Bibbia» del successo, nella vita e nel lavoro, basata su un solo principio: non temere nulla. Il risultato è un libro di grande ispirazione, perfetto per gli imprenditori, i giovani e chiunque sia interessato alla vita di 50 Cent e a migliorare la propria idea di successo. Con consigli pratici e una narrazione avvincente, 'La 50ª legge' trasforma i lettori in architetti della propria vita, pronti a non temere nulla e a vivere alle proprie personali condizioni. Non temete, perché la grandezza attende coloro che osano.
