So much relate to this the rest of us, read it, and learn how to navigate certain situations we’re not naturally inclined to psychopaths use it to mask their true nature and remain unseen until they totally mindfuck you with zero remorse and complete and utter smug satisfaction some people are just sick The one thing about this I disagree with though the greatest law of power is the release of needing it or controlling an outcome. It’s one thing to understand how to be and be present in certain situations it’s another thing to be Fugazi as they say, especially if it’s four in the Farias and treacherous goals

It’s better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war… For the first 35 years or so of my life I found it almost impossible to believe that people were calculated in social engagements. Like I just couldn’t believe that an average person would consciously manipulate a situation or a person for their own favor. Now that I am older it’s clear to me that many or maybe even most people do! I’ll be reading this book with my middle schooler this year. I hope it helps protect his soft heart in a way mine was not! ❤

@@purplesun3792lol… Based on interviews that Robert Greene has done in the past, I imagine the book’s intent was to educate the naive with how sociopathic/narcissistic people operate and become successful. A lot of good can come from benevolent souls being educated on their blind spots and naivety of how others around them might use them for personal gain. I don’t agree with many of these as a PRESCRIPTION in life, but rather, a DESCRIPTION of the diabolical behavior seen in a surprisingly large percentage (but perhaps still a minority) of people today. And I also believe it paints a picture of what humanity is capable of in terms of selfishness, unfortunately. ”This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.“ ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬-‭9‬ ‭KJV‬‬

@@glamglamglamglamglam yeah or people need to learn to get a life. and grow up and see that people are contributing to society. see bigger picture than themselves. This goes with the intimidation factor. but why? why not think the individual is using their power for good/change? or just forsake them for good. not discounting it, everyone feels envy for different reasons. It is part of human nature/condition (hence something we should spend time). but really should try investing in other ways of looking at things. healthier approaches dealing with it. if can't control inner envy, soon you will find yourself treating person basedd off inner envy, and that's not very fair. think about it, should a guy be ramsacked because of how yourself feel inside? or are just protecting deeper insecurity? It's not even that we all don't experience that, including myself. but it's how deal with feelings that make the difference.rather than casting other individual, have you yourself not thought hang maybe we should wish that individual well? don't cast away just because we deem they should (be treated how we treat them). it is a self-protection mechanism. but mechanism really doesn't need to exist. Envy is a darker emotions of human-condition, BUT is also very Natural/Evolutionary/Human (light). Inetrgal part in all of us, you don't think the person ahead of you feels envy or that any of us don't feel towards even other people? (not alienating people based on envy but in fact showing it's very human, however its what we do with it that counts, how do we ensue security, how do have trust, can support other to have trust? maybe that person has their own values.. that would benefit people in their own way. (and thus put people benefited in front of envy individual). This is how I recently viewed one of my enemies, I thought while I don't approve of their methods. perhaps it would lead to a value of its own kind. thus BENEFITTING the people. thus when we put value in one we are puttng value into hands of countless others to benefit from said traits. people aren't envious, their intimidated. because they believe it will come down on their heads. hence if show intention, that you won't use agaisnt them. and do best in capability to use for good. don't these people deserve a fair trial? a fair chance? (at least).

@@lowveil you are correct it is not. Think many of those is in underestimation of abilities/capacities and histories. But yes like to project feelings onto other people. Also one of many unfoetunates of life. Noone knows. But you. Ofc I wouldn't expect them to. But doesn't stop them from trying. Or perhaps we're all just living in the past. (And it is very indicative of that fact). Many aren't geared up in that way. Many things missed as a reason of that. (Because of where we are in human evolution path). Perhaps advanced ai would tell finer elements that rly matter and decipher to being in these higher equality elements. reminiscent of age/times we living in. I think deep down many know this. (How we are missing those things, missing a picture we cannot see). Things do exist (are real) but due to evolutionary limitations cannot see them. Bigger picture is we are not viewing bigger picture (invisible in front of our eyes). And it's very sad/unfortunate. Many of us deserve way better, which things we never end up obtaining. We think truth seeing in front of us is the fuller picture (truth is very much that it is not, at all fuller picture). Many people who we think are not right are in fact right ( in their inner conclusion, who would seem to us dishonest), but are only ones to know it. (That things we know are in fact the truth). Reality told me that things can be deep and truth, very often are. Eventually deep knowledge will become everyone's second knowledge. (Unfortunate not any time soon).

Thus, a weak perspective on the subject. Furthermore, books are pretty much always centered around human interaction and behavior. Without that element, it's hard to convey information. We actually like to use the laws for/against ourselves. Everyone has the capacity of evil, selfishness, and conformity. Especially, against ourselves. Most of our lives, we're our own biggest enemy/threat. We understand why someone could see it as evil. No argument there. But, good can be a driving factor as well

8:37 Law 16 is what I did during lunch at highschool. I rarely went to lunch and when I did, I would walk to different friend groups uplifting the mood briefly before leaving. I noticed people would start smiling with thier eyebrows rised like they were happy/surprised to see me. It was as if I was making their day just by being present. If I sat with them everyday it would dilute my words, reputation, presence, and influence.

I know this book is not entirely meant to make people follow these laws but after reading so many comments I sincerely want to ask: If everyone in the world would apply this, or at least just the majority of it. Can we imagine what we would become? Will we living in comfort? Will we be satisfied with how our lives have become? Will our existence in this world be considered worthwhile, purposeful, memorable and meaningful? When our final hour finally comes to us, would we be able to look back, sincerely feel and can tell ourselves that "I lived well.." ? Is it just always like, being the prey or being the predator? Is it just always like, being the one controlled or the one in control? Being the manipulated or the one being manipulative? I could be wrong but this all to me sounds all about winning.. winning no matter what it takes.. is success in life all about winning? I understand that going through life is not easy so we have to find ways to "defend" ourselves but if this is that "way", is it really any good than being the defenseless? Is there simply no way where we can still comfortably trust and find comfort in others? Is it already impossible to just do things sincerely and be happy for what other people have achieved? Can we no longer be truly honest and expect true honesty in return anymore? I know lots of you may be mad or even just laugh at my comment here, but I am sincerely asking these questions whether you see that as just another part of applying these laws of power or not.

read those laws, learn them, still be yourself and keep those laws in mind in the case others use them. Not all lessons are worth to do in all time of our life, but it's worth to learn and do it if it's the best way or even the only way to do. Eventually, giving up ego, being silent, mastering ourselves, being simple, being patient, loving ourselves are the best lessons to do everyday

Psychopaths and sociopaths are a minority percentage of the population and they must exist on the fringes of society because they cause harm and disrupt the stability of society through behaviors which may incorporate these laws of power. They must operate covertly until their behavior is recognized, at which point they are shunned by the group and must uproot themselves to entirely brand new groups of people if they haven't been incarcerated, killed, or punished for such actions. They utilize these rules of power often unconsciously because they lack innate emotions of empathy and morality. Quantifying these dark behaviors is necessary for those of us who are not among these neurotic types so that we can recognize when they're being implemented against us, and for the truthful wisdom which some of them actually do possess. Quantifying behavior does not make that behavior automatically prevalent for all people. Additionally, in contrast: no person is ever completely altruistic, no matter how much they may profess themselves to be, and while most people will not follow through on dark behaviors in real life, we are always still capable of doing so and certainly possess the capability to formulate, conceptualize, and imagine dark behaviors such as the rules of power. So don't delude yourself in thinking you are above such dark behavior, as that in itself is a flawed behavior.

I learned these laws when I was younger didn’t have the best upbringing and got bullied when I was up to middle school. I hadn’t read the book but when I did I had already experienced it and most of them I knew. When I was younger I felt miserable and alone. I learned the hard way. The lessons aka laws helped me recognize the people who were being manipulative and seeking control or power over me. I don’t do these laws with everyone but it does help seeing through peoples bullshit especially in the workspace but if you really think about it Mother Nature is like this. I’m not saying it is right but it is something we as humans are capable of and I am glad I don’t have to practice it. I also seen these qualities in me as well. I only do it when I have to defend myself. Which isn’t as often. Luckily I learned to distances myself from these people.

#25 Can truly be a powerful one. If you're capable of forging YOUR OWN identity, and NOT just settling for the one that's given to you by others, then you (AND everyone else) will know you on YOUR OWN terms, and NOT merely through the opinions of someone else! When you judge yourself mainly by the reactions that you get from other people, then you know yourself chiefly by hearsay. The same is true for how OTHERS will know you. Sculpt your very identity into what people will precieve as an undeniably "formidable opponent", and then you'll never be ignored when you should be acknowledged.

I have an amazing story, if anyone's interested. One day I was driving home and I felt the presence of the Lord, come down to me from above. It was as real as anything and I felt so comfortable with Him. I knew if I asked Him to play a song on the radio, He would. So I said "Ok Lord, play Come as you are..." I didn't know what station it was on or anything, but I turned the radio on and the song started playing right on the spot, perfectly... I started getting flooded with chills inside, trembling, and crying tears of joy. When I got home, He stayed with me for 10 minutes till I got out of the car. Since then, I've been getting prayers answered wayyyy more often, because that experience made me stop doubting when I pray, and I follow Biblical instructions for praying, as best I can.

I can see how you'd feel that way especially considering the examples of those that embody each of the laws. However it's also a powerful read to understand how others operate so you can "see" who they are and make the best choice on how to position yourself

I cannot cosign calling a book evil. He wrote a book in which he drew examples from history. History, however, is full of people doing evil things as well as evil ppl doing evil things. I am not evil or Machiavellian but many of the laws of power, especially the majority of the first 25, I have done most my entire life far before reading this book. I learned these things naturally after being a sucka and consistently overlooked and underestimated, so it was necessary. It's not evil to play to your own advantage in life. Everyone is trying to play to their own advantage, so to pretend nonchalance is manipulation. I'm not a liar and I hate lies, but I am also a master of the practice the saying less than necessary. Everyone wants power , not necessarily over others. I want more power over my life's options and choices. And if that means using these tactics on those that would limit me in my life, it's just a part of the game.

I really enjoy Robert Greene sharing these insights in the form of shorts and in person. But seeing all the laws presented like this in its entirety I can only perceive them as the playbook of a sociopath.. Surely not everyone will be capable or inclined to operate and interact with others in this manner, I think these laws are best applied when dealing only with other ill-intentioned and malicious actors, not as a handbook of how to act on a daily basis with for example family members or close friends.

Great video! The following will be for any notes I have on it as I progress through it: Law 17 seems to be describing an uncalled-for attitude, because, as it states, it can induce fear in others, making it an enemy cultivating behavior! Law 19 addresses my concerns over Law 17. If one is not careful to go through all of the laws, the result of committing to the incomplete knowledge of the list can be catastrophic, but living in an environment that demands such "evil" is deadly stressful in my view!
