The 48 Laws of Power Summarized in Under 8 Minutes by Robert Greene

In this video I summarized my book, "The 48 Laws of Power" in under 8 minutes.

"The 48 Laws of Power" originally published 25 years ago, is a book that explores the principles of power and how to obtain it. It is based on the philosophy that power is necessary for survival and success in any field. In this book, I have collected the wisdom of great thinkers and successful people throughout history to create a comprehensive guide to achieving power.

These laws range from "Never Outshine The Master" to "Crush Your Enemy Totally". Each law is explained with historical examples of those who have successfully applied the principle to their own lives.

Overall, "The 48 Laws of Power" is a guidebook to understanding power dynamics in our society and how to use them to your advantage. It provides valuable insights and strategies for anyone seeking to gain power and influence in their personal or professional life.

I hope this summary has piqued your interest in my book, and I encourage you to read it in full to gain a deeper understanding of the principles of power. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for the 48 Laws of Power. I am 72 years old. I don’t have a relationship with my family. I worried about who would help me if I fell ill. For over a year, I had nightmares of horrible things happening to me as I aged. I reread the 48 Laws of Power 2 months ago hoping for wisdom. I fell ill last month. My doctor failed to find the cause of my illness. The next day after the doctor visit, I lay in bed feeling sick when I remembered 2 laws: enter with boldness (36) and be formless (48). I opened my laptop and sent gift cards to people I knew and ignored the advice of my mental health counselor who told me that they may question my motives. Within minutes I felt well. My friends never questioned my motives and were happy I reached out. I terminated the services of my counselor. I decided I am going to face my future with boldness and be formless. Now I sleep soundly with no nightmares.

This book does one of two things... 1) It gives the confused egomaniac a blueprint to so-called 'power'. 2) Coincidently, this book can help identify individuals that would apply these practices in certain aspects of life. You can observe the lessons in this book in areas like prison, organized crime, business, and government.

I we went through a really messy divorce 18 years ago. I read the 48 laws and used about 36 of the laws . Although I lost some money I was able to keep my dignity and not let my shortfalls effect me negatively
Thank you Robert Greene.

I love Robert Green and appreciate him and his books . I bought several books including 48 Law.
I was outshining my manager and got psychologically bullied . I didn’t understand why, felt hurt because I worked so hard to make my manager proud and to get her approval. Until I come across 48 law, read the first chapter “ never outshining master “.
Robert Green is chosen one, to bring this knowledge into the world .

I have the entire collection of Robert Green’s books, and I love the message behind every last one of them

Thank you so much Brian. You have no idea the impact your work has in the world. I’m writing to you as a lowly South African young man who never had a father in his life, and all I want to do is just express my gratitude for your work. May the hand of the Lord bless you with many more years so you can continue imparting more wisdom to the world. God bless.

i am one of those rare people who don't chase power. i don't like to give orders, but i really hate taking them. greene's work helps me to find that sweet spot in between the lions and the sheep. kind of like a honey badger, or a skunk: not antagonistic, not a victim and if you leave them alone it will all be cool. i am happier than i have been since i was a little kid and filled with a sense of freedom and potential. as always, thanks.

All your books are terrific. This is one of my favorites. We used your book for bookclub and we discussed each law, how we saw it show up in our lives and how we could use it and defend ourselves. Took almost a year but it was an extremely valuable learning experience.

Thank you for all you do! 🕉

I read this back in the early '00s. It was instrumental in helping me navigate corporate politics. Before reading this I was blissfully naive, but constantly frustrated and confused by people in management. Corporate politics are full of delicate egos and precariously balanced positions of power. I am extremely grateful for this book and its help in my career. Thank you, Robert Green!

The 48 Laws of Power is actually my 2nd Bible, I've read it more times than I can remember. Whenever I find myself making 'moronic blunders' I go back to reread the book. In 2017, I distilled 48 Sonnets of Power (unpublished) from the 48 Laws. Thank you Robert Greene for the role you play in my life, I would've been lost in this wide wild world without your guide.

Just turned 49 today. This man is giving us the truth. I used to be so naive. Love his book and I love this man. Also, he is a lover of cats!😊

This book is amazing to be honest. And it truly made me see a whole new layer of reality. I can deduce and predict situations, I can see who people actually are instead of believing the mask they give to the world - you're able to see behind the mask. Similar to Dantes from Count of Monte Christo who had to deduce what happened to him - who betrayed him, how did he end up in prison. And there are many moments like this in our life, and this book - 48 Laws of Power - gives you the tools to see who are the enemies in your life pretending to be your friends, and because you're able to recognize them, you're less likely to get backstabbed by them.

I was reading the first law in 48 laws of power, and I started yesterday. I was noticeably uncomfortable reading it as I feel I'm not this type of person to manipulate others, etc. But I'm glad you mentioned this book can be used to defend against different types of manipulation

[biswaprasunchatterji]

your book was an eye opener, i picked it up in 2011 and my thought pattern changed for better. I understood my flaws and tried rectifying. No other self help book has this much impact on me. thank you sir.

[WinmanVideo]

Personally I'm not a fan of using power to benefit myself but I understand that it isn't the game others play either subconsciously or Consciously.
The book has helped me understand WHEN someone is using power so that I may plan/strategize accordingly.
When he says "this is defense" is certainly hitting the nail on the head.
As a result, I've made good friend with distance. And enemies whom need more distance.

We love Robert Green.
