I feel like I’ve seen a book called The 48 Laws of Power recommended frequently for that.

Yeah. For better or worse that'll put you in a more Machiavellian mindset. It's an excellent book, but I definitely recall feeling like it stunted my emotional growth and perception of the world for a few years after I first read it.

Ah yes, I have that book and have read it and tbh it did help me identify power plays around and against me.

I should reread it since it’s been a few years.
