Such uplifting, positive music under an explanation of how to be a reptile

[jackcarraway]

A lot of people dismiss 48 as a book for psychopaths, but my impression is that book's intention is actually to teach one how to protect themself from the psychopaths.

For example, "Don't outshine the master" forshadowed the quiet quitting movement. When you go abkve and beyond, all your boss (the master) is going to do 99.9% of the time is give you more work and exploit you.

I use this book to get over a narcissistic relationship

[DarkDeltq]

This isn’t ’teaching power’ it’s teaching narcissism. People who know how to obtain and use power are the most successful in the world. The ones who seek power by betraying and manipulating others are always doomed to fail

[RyanTheImp]

This book taught me how dispicible humans are

I wouldnt trust anyone discouraging people from reading this book. Its like rich people telling you money is the root of all evil.

The flip side of "taking credit for other people's work", is to point out to people when others are taking credit for their work. So you can remain the one with the moral high ground, but be able to take credit from the work of taking credit for other people's work. So you allow your opponent to hang himself with his own rope. Be the good guy at all possible, it will payoff more in the long-term and you will achieve just as much, but with more inner peace and less enemies who are also good or innocent people. Let the bad people be your enemies, because they usually do not maintain power long.

So basically, the reason I've never been successful is because I'm not an evil conniving sociopath.

[elizabethschiemer]

I gave 48 Laws to my children because it helped them to become aware of when they are being manipulated. That is power.

[jinenjuce]

Take credit for people's work is a great way to make an employee go postal. It is also contrary to guarding your reputation, unless the reputation you want is a poor one

[toristory]

Why cant we just be ourselves? No good? Attention is the last thing i want. Lord keep me me please. Thank you

[BijouBakson]

48 Laws of Power: A book to read so you can identify the villain's techniques it teaches so they may not manipulate you..

[newJapanproduction]

Video is an A+++!!! The book itself is for the weak and insecure. Its not even intelligent manipulation... The ignorant will follow the "laws" but if you can actually read/watch this and understand that these actions are done by the weak, you can identify them and truly have "power."

[axellereet]

I always tell my friends straight what i think and that has been the foundation on which our friendship was and is built.

[NDEtv]

I'm hearing words like victim, trap, and deceive. This explains the world I've been living in and my fake friends… It's like soul-robbing vibes here. Creepy creepy vibes! ✌️🏾

[jarinorvanto]

I've only listened for a few minutes, and it seems that the advice given are quite sociopathic. Sure, it can work if you master them, but probably not as an enduring strategy. It it better to build trust, authenticity and perform highly in a consistent manner. These are rare qualities and will stand out in the long run. Be aware not to be exploited without a fair return, in the long run. If you are a high performer, your power lies in the possibility to deny, withdraw a bit or even exit.
