The Black Book
edited by Middleton A. Harris, Ernest Smith, Morris Levitt, and Roger Furman · 2026 · 68 pages
Every room has a person everyone watches. Every organisation has a leader everyone follows. Every negotiation has one side that walks away with exactly what they came for. The difference between those people and everyone else is not luck, connections, or inherited advantage. It is a specific, learnable set of psychological principles that most people will never discover — because nobody ever taught them where to look.Until now.
The Black Book of Power is the definitive guide to understanding and commanding the invisible forces that determine who leads and who follows, who influences and who gets influenced, who builds empires and who builds excuses. Written for entrepreneurs, executives, and high-performing individuals who refuse to operate below their potential, this book delivers the unfiltered psychology behind dominance, discipline, and strategic control — the three forces that separate the truly powerful from everyone else.
Inside these pages you will discover:
The Architecture of Power — what power truly is, where it comes from, and why most people spend their entire lives misunderstanding it
The Unstoppable Mindset — how to eliminate destructive thinking patterns, develop ruthless clarity, and build the psychological foundation of an elite performer
Command Without Words — the psychology of presence, silence, and non-verbal authority that makes people respect you before you speak
Strategic Influence — the proven psychological principles behind persuasion, loyalty, and negotiation that the world's most powerful leaders use daily
Protecting Your Power — how to identify energy drains, handle betrayal with cold precision, and build boundaries that are never challenged twice
Building an Empire — the systems, circles, and legacy strategies that transform personal power into lasting, generational influence
Living in Full Power — how to integrate everything into a daily practice of discipline, presence, and unstoppable execution
This is not theory. This is not motivation. This is the cold, precise psychology of those who operate at the highest levels — distilled into a practical, actionable system that you can begin applying immediately.
Power has always had rules. The question is simple — will you learn them, or will you continue to live by the rules of those who already have?
The Black Book is open. Step inside.
For those who are done waiting and ready to lead.

“An encyclopedic scrapbook of Black American history. A museum exhibit that you can hold in your hands. A turn-the-page tour of Africans in America. The Black Book is the lovingly compiled collection of archive and artifact, a time capsule of runaway slave notices and sheet music for freedom songs, ads from the Jim Crow era, among many other things, and the 1856 article, ‘A Visit to the Slave Mother Who Killed Her Child,’ the story that inspired Toni Morrison’s masterwork of harrowing beauty, Beloved.”↗
