Law 36 - Disdain Things you cannot have: Ignoring them is the best Revenge
The 48 Laws of Power is a hugely popular self-help book by Robert Greene around the subject of power.
Each law is explained using examples from history, including when to use the law and when to transgress the law (not use it). The laws are timeless. This video and playlist are a summary of the laws, but to understand the subtleties and complexities of these laws, the book needs to be read in full.
The 48 Laws of Power
Other great books by Robert Greene:
Mastery
50th Law
The 33 Strategies of War
The art of seduction
In his own words:
"Learning the game of power requires a certain way of looking at the world, a shifting of perspective”. Mastery of one's emotions, and the arts of deception and indirection are essential. The 48 laws "have a simple premise: certain actions always increase one's power while others decrease it and even ruin us."
Preface from book:
The feeling of having no power over people and events is generally unbearable to us. And when we feel helpless we feel miserable. No one wants less power. Everyone wants more!
However, it is dangerous to seem too power hungry or to be overt with your power moves. You must seem fair and decent. So you need to be subtle --- congenial yet cunning! Democratic yet devious.
The laws have a simple premise, namely, that certain actions will almost always certainly increase your power --- the observance of the "LAW," while others decrease it and even ruin us --- the transgression of the "LAW." These observances and transgressions are illustrated by historical examples. The "LAWS" are timeless and definitive!

Transcript
By acknowledging a petty problem you give it existence and credibility. The more attention you
pay an enemy, the stronger you make him; and a small mistake is often made worse and more
visible when you try to fix it. It is sometimes best to leave things alone. If there is something
you want but cannot have, show contempt for it. The less interest you reveal, the more superior
you seem.
