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

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?

(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).

[@aphmaaena9919]

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.

[@ThangPVan_]

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

[@Chris-cf2kp]

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.

[@mariaconiramirez6686]

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.

Love this book, I’m 20 I work at a jail as a correction officer, and want to pursue entrepreneurship when I’m older I will be thinking of this book a lot. Thank you Robert for such an amazing book, and I plan on reading your other books! Law 34 is probably one of my favorite laws because where I work you can’t show weakness or all those inmates are gonna stomp on you mentally you got to stand tall, be confident, be patient, have authority, treat them with respect, and the inmates will respect you. When I learned that law that helped me very much I can definitely see why this book is banned in some prisons, law 34, and law 18 were my favorites. All of them were great though!

[@Hohmies86]

I’m a former deputy and former inmate, all you have to do is put on an act at work. Show the inmates that you are no different than them only you just haven’t been caught and maintained your innocence by just not living as risky as them. Never make one of them talk to you alone (an inmate talking to a CO alone is viewed as him potentially being a snitch) Jealously runs rampant in prison, one can get jealous of the nicer things one inmate has or even the friendships they have

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.

In my nearly 34 years (in about two weeks) I've had to learn some of these the hard way, the smoke and mirrors given by hidden enemies was huge and I wish now that I had not appeared to be funny ever with some of them, in my early 20's. Now they think I am still goofy and funny but I created a hole in my armour which I have to pull myself out of now. It is very annoying. Creating the fantasy which they can aspire to without invoking too much envy in the process by moving silently has been my biggest defense against hidden enemies but by now, most true hidden enemies have revealed themselves, at least the ones that can actually harm my life. Career-wise, I haven't yet blossomed so I've got to figure out how to harness power faster. I'm really good at the long game, the short game is costing me though and I tend to move quieter when unsure. These laws can take my whole life to master but they are so crucial to understand. I will be re-visiting as often as possible.

@@bojackson9149 he's saying the collection of laws, if someone were to actively use all of these to gain "power", would probably be the tactics of a selfish person to the most mentally unstable degree... And I can see why he'd think that

I tried to read the soft copy of the book, now I don't have a hard copy because of my work environment, but as usual I tried to check it out in audio, which might be helpful and more convenient for me. Finally, as I write this review, I can't even resist until I finish the video.

[@Dani68ABminus]

While I fully acknowledge these laws as truisms, I play as a means to stay out of trouble rather than to manipulate for personal gain. My overarching law is the supreme golden rule. I look forward to the days when everyone's thoughts become transparent. Game over.

I love how most of the laws resemble myself, but there are some good lessons to think about and develop my mind and test on some actions

[@anonymous-j3v]

I was the one who never believed in the power or power games, until people around me started using in on me for no reason at all. I just couldn't understand what I was doing wrong, despite being kind and over forgiving to everyone around me they seem to just not care about my feelings and though I would never in a million years think of hurting them they would not think twice before hurting me emotionally or physically. I really like this book to help me understand myself, others, and to protect myself from weird mind games.

Wow. If everyone behaved this way the world would be a pretty dark place to live. Insightful information. This video serves as a helpful tool to allow one to guard against people like this. Knowledge is power.

The truth is they do behave this way, the majority of people are traumatized and evil and will do whatever it takes to have just a tiny Amount of control and power

We believe that's a weaker perspective on the subject

[@mansipal5066]

@@studiofzd Ah, I see, you prefer to view the 48 Laws of Power as a guide to understanding human behavior and interactions. Well, I guess if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right? Just remember, knowledge is power, but using it wisely is the real challenge.

[@studiofzd]

@@mansipal5066 That's a very direct and detailed statement without evidence. "The sky is blue" is a weak perspective as it's only visually true to average human eyes during specific times of the day, and once you commit to research you find out it isn't blue at all. 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
