pickWhen you read books such as these you must dissect it, like a frog on the science table. Maneuver between each word, look beyond and in between the lines there‘s more than meets the eye. It comes with discipline and with those who have a ear to listen. You must be open to more than one road in this life. Trust me . This book will change your perspective on everyone in your life
The appearance of superiority is inconsequential next to the reality of it
Non-fiction: Do you feel the author is believable? Does he/she write with any bias? Explain.
No, this book is mostly informative. It talks about tactics that previous historical figures used to gain power so there is no bias. I believe the author is believable because he brings in examples and evidence to back up his point.
Non-fiction: What is the tone of the text and how do you know?
April 28, 2021
The tone of the text is more authoritative, informative, and “older“ than anything. The author wrote the book so it would give the reader a feel for power. It teaches us the ways of how previous leaders have gained control and power. Although this book was made a while back so it makes sense into why it sounds “older.“
pickThe book takes you on a journey of laws, with short history lessons about the laws. It's a phenomenal read and worth the time. Like all of Robert Greene's books highly recommended.
Heard many positive reviews of this book. So based on the recommendations going to give it a shot.
Have you read it?
Follow for a detailed review soon. Will keep posting updates.
pickI have heard a lot about this book, to be honest it is not what I was expecting, nevertheless I couldn't stop reading it. It is an evil man's step-by-step guide to deceipt & backstabbing, I am sure this book is popular amongst politicians and the mafia. It is useful to recognize power plays in the workspace and life in general. I hope the teachings of this book are not attractive to people, otherwise we will live in a terrible world.
bailedCouldn't make it past the first chapter, the premise "people are evil, cruel, and dishonest - so the only way to get ahead in life is to be even more evil, cruel, and dishonest than everyone else" just doesn't sit well with me.
so-soRATED: ⭐⭐
The cold hard perspective piqued my interest in the beginning. I found myself picking it up every night to validate my "realist" perspective of the world. While I can relate my daily truths in almost all laws in the book, I found it hard to stay interested in the relevant anecdotes.
Who else has read this? Let me know what you think!

pickThis book is almost a bible to me
This book codifies the rules to be powerful as 48 laws..Robert green is from classical studies..He quotes many powerful people like machiavelli,tsun tzu,Clausewitz and many other men and women who welded enormous power in history..
Few of my favorite laws include...Assume formlessness..
Always talk less than necessary...Never comit to anyone..Etc
so-soI think this might have been a book for me to sit and read through instead of listening to as an audiobook. The storyline and examples given for each law were interesting but to fully absorb it I should‘ve read it.
panA modern day version of The Prince, the author celebrates Machiavellian rule and the extreme tactics to gain power. The book teaches people to manipulate and do whatever means necessary to get power. An example of traits to look out for in selfcenterd people to avoid.
Reading this gives a guide to what not to do in a leadership role and how history should not be repeated. These type of books are dangerous in the wrong hands. 3.5/10
pickThis is a great book that everyone should read. In my honest opinion, this is an evil book. However, if you're not going to use it for evil you should be aware of them so that you can protect yourself from those who will use it against you.

Did I just watch The 48 Laws of Power (Animated), a 30-minute video on YouTube? Yes, and the intro. Well done.

48laws of power on the right . Do you know the title of the other book. Hint: habit 2 , begin with the end in mind
Robert Green was definitely inspired by Dale Carnegie when he wrote this book. This book is like "how to Win friends and influence people " to the extreme.
Humberto: "In this city anything can happen. This city is going to rule the world. It's the epicenter of power and opportunity. And when those two converge, you have a nuclear explosion. Power should be used with a velvet glove. That's why I'm reading this book. It's about the reason you're sitting here with me. It's about entering action with boldness. For that, you can't be a wilting flower. You have to be open to the flow of time."
Best quote of the nights discussion so far is "What do you think of Chapter 3? Conceal your intentions?" "Frozen taught me that." ???
So I've "started" reading this book a million times but I cannot finish it. Why?! I feel like it's so cliche to have read it, yet it's a cliche I want take part of ?.
