Do you think, if the Germans understood manipulation, Hitler would have gotten away with all that he did? I think societies in general need to polish their skills on manipulation especially in politics and against cult leaders so they won’t fall victim.

I've been studying narcissism extensively lately. The stuff so awful, yet! This has to be considered. Meghan Markle is so narcissistic, you can see it in her eyes. She looks even slightly crazy. And there's a lot of analysis about her. You can't help but think, I don't know how she made across the street let alone into the Royal family. Yet she did. She really did. She's blowing it, but she did make it. So she did some things right and she did some things wrong. I'm starting to wonder if there is something in narcissism that isn't really a disorder as much as it is and understanding of people. Something that can be useful if you weren't crazy. Or apparently, looking at megan, if you are crazy. It's fascinating stuff.
@@ConstantCompanion hmmm you do have a point
@@ConstantCompanion For more information on her and her alleged npd you can check out H.G Tudor
@@christilivs8703 listen to him consistently. He's such an odd duck, but he's very insightful.
@@ConstantCompanion That's what's up! I think he's great. And he be reading the girls I always end up cluthing my pearls as he breaks it down.
“Don’t depend on no one to feed you.”
Except God.
I started a job at a prominent beverage company as an accountant. Long story short, I made an impact with people based on my attitude. I was let go Friday. It was a management decision. Networking is a tool and I believe the supervisor did not like it because I was talking to many people there. At the time, I was networking by greeting people , introducing myself. My co-workers were taking me in and telling me many things. Although I was the oldest person on the team, I was learning from them. I really appreciate the time and guidance I received. Right, now I believe God saw something that would not work for me. God is definitely looking out for me.
Same here I was fired from my last job best thing ever happened to me because I went to another job that actually appreciates my work ethic
I hope you receive a better job! Sounds like jealousy set in on the boss’s part…and he was envious of your age and charisma and likability.
Oh Beyoncé-when you hear her on an interview-she’s completely different-just happened to have a marketable product-her singing voice…
@@hilo5901 I started my new job today. 🙂
@@questionresearch8721 I'm an accounting student but the teachers aren't motivated to teach especially during the lockdown
I'm studying about leases,borrowing costs and Earnings per share
Any advice
I'm quiet at work, when I speak it's something of substance and kind of deep...I'm patient and I listen, I'm not always trying to compete with other ppl talking.
Yea I don't need to have the floor every waking moment of the day!!
Same . I’ll take peace please ! I’m happily to myself
Laws of Power-#16
Use absence to increase Respect & Honor
Disappear, stay low key. Let ppl ask about you.
Too much circulation makes the price go down.
The more you are seen & heard from, the more common you appear.
If you are already established in a group, temporarily withdraw from it will make you more talked about & even admired
You must learn when to leave, create value to scarcity.
You can be the first to arrive but also don’t be the last to leave. Leave, don’t stick around all the time. Make seeing you a rare occasion.
Yes @Crystalsandoval2013 putting this law into practice currently! Works like a charm 😉
Practicing this today ❤️
I stopped reading this book because I also thought it was sinister but after watching several interviews, I realised that Robert Greene understands human nature. He helps people like me who have a hard time dealing with people as they are rather (who we think) they should be.
I was thinking the same thing but either you are predator or prey !! It’s a cold world !!
@@itshairatthehouse5486 very
Agreed. Some of the tips sound rather sociopathic. But I've also been watching Dynasty on Netflix and the wealthy folks on there (and those around them) are pretty much always scheming, plotting, and manipulating, so I guess the author is on to something.
I was skeptical as well, until I watched the entire interview. I’ve heard his name several times , his new book on live will be amazing! ⚖️
3 things that make me unique:
1. Charisma
2. Independent thinker
3. Consistent evolution! I’m always learning something new, picking up a new hobby, traveling to new places, trying new foods, etc. I’m never in the same place for doing the same thing as I was the year before.
How do u do with when you have people trying to make you stuck in the same plac?
Helllllloooooo
So you mean , you’re my twin then 😮
Literally same
Wowie
Robert Greene’s books aren’t sinister.
Once you read his books, you realize that it’s the nature of people that’s actually sinister. 😉
His books teach you how to sift out sinister ways in others and how not to get played.
I agree.
1. I am resourceful
2. I have a positive yet practical mindset.
3.I am not afraid to ask questions.
A nasty bunch of rules on "how to become a completely immoral prick but think you are fabulous." No wonder I spend so much time alone.
I love Robert Greene, highly recommend the laws of human nature and the art of seduction too. It is a little cynical in tone so I understand why people get put off but he's definitely breaking down the game in detail.
I am currently reading the laws of human nature......it's so insightful and I am starting to slowly put it to use when interacting with people and just observing people.
He keeps it real. After being burned by people and seeing their bs I see the truth about his content. Better than the new age light and love content..
@@ARD7177 very much so
I think I may have to get his books. Thanks for sharing
Wow. This is just a narcissist/sociopath’s handbook. So happy to not live a life this way and that I healed from this type of manipulation and abuse. Took a bit longer with family but it’s nice to still just be my authentic, kind, self but with the awareness that there are people who relish in these games.
And how to avoid them 🥰
Sending authentic loving and healing energy~
How is it manipulation when someone just wants to have a more defined life? You don’t have to hurt others just cause you want to take care of yourself and protect your peace. Straight up.
Hate the game not the player. Being kind and authentic will eventually get you used and won’t get you very far in todays world.
@@tayyibahz9343 Girl you got it, exactly !
@@tayyibahz9343 I believe this book is for those who want be a predator not prey. I agree with the laws of power.
It definitely is! 2 narcs who were in my life followed this. The female she was very cruel, sadistic, manipulative, untrustworthy, it’s a long list but, she got her way. She hurt a lot of people in the process & doesn’t give a fuck. I realized she used many tactics listed here she went HARD solely due to jealousy BUT IT WORKED!!! I was her enemy for years and didn’t even know how or why. Can only be upset with myself for not listening to my intuition. My intuition was more powerful than her and her lies but SHE TRICKED ME LMFAO. I rather know exactly wassup than to not know anything at all. Morally I probably wouldn’t do a few things that I heard. I was wondering how she got away with certain things but Karma snatched her up.
I have the book, big fan of Robert Greene, but since my spiritual awaking I’m aiming for a different world than these laws … a world that we all consider a part of ourselves and hurting another means hurting ourselves, unconditional love … I truly am tired how this planet has been functioning & hoping to change it for the better … so in the new world these laws don’t apply ❤️
That's exactly how I feel. A world where people live from their heart and these games are not necessary. I want to become the change I want to see in the world, not change myself to fit into a society driven by money and power instead of love.
One thing that is necessary for me is to have more boundaries in place. But I chose to focus my attention to connect with my heart and with God rather than learning mind games and techniques. I like reading books by Greg Braden, Bruce Lipton, Dr Joe Dispenza, Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer.
It was interesting for me to listen to this video and realise I don't resonate at all. I do love Karine's videos. 🙏
This world already exist, I don't know about your religion, but when Jesus was here, he told people to pay the evil with good deeds, and to love your partner as you love your flesh, that's what I believe, though it's difficult to do, if someone is violent with me in special in a relationship, I tend to mirror him.
@oceanahealer agreed 🥰
Yeah in spiritual too but the world you described isn't the world we live in. Unfortunately these are necessary at times. Unconditional love is rare these days and we live in a cold world.
I was thinking the same. Some rules can be applied but some go against my new consciousness…
Great video, I was in a beautiful marriage before my now ex wife left me,i still love her and most times i cant stop thinking about her, i am doing my very best to get rid of the thought of her, but i just cant, i love her so much, i dont know why i am bring this here for, i cant stop thinking about her.
@jay pritchett wow, how did you get a spiritual adviser, and how do i reach her?
@jay pritchett Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive.
think about how she betray you, you will have easy time to forget her and erase her from your mind. make sure to always think of the bad and how it taint any good moment you might have together, and eventually you will assimilate into your brain the idea that even the good moments were bogus, and then you will truly want and be able to forget her for good.
then you can try to get the other relationship and work towards getting in a place you cannot be betray again and even if so it will never affect you.
once is enough if you know the method to bulletproof your soul from such trickery of the other peoples.
@jay pritchett bs bro why would you want her back you fool, you have to move on from her
But she does not want you anymore. My situation is similar. He got me back 3 times and every time he regretted it. And I feel sorry for him living w a woman who would rather be alone than w him. Would you enjoy using someone's body who does not want you. How. It's not about how wonderful you are my husband is amazing handsome hardworking in and outside the house it's just that I am not ok and want to be (left) alone. Maybe yeah you can help her w her issues. Go swim together etc but also realise sometimes we really have to let someone go. Give them what they wish for.
Law 48 reminds me of how internalizing labels can be so harmful. When we get so fixated on being a certain something, honing on it too much, whether it be our race ethnicity religion (to a worldly degree) gender sexuality anything, it can trap us into a box of not being able to be anything else. at this point in my life, I don’t obsess over anything worldly label, but I only value God and what He plans for me. Thanks for this video Karine!
Karine! I SO agree! I read books like this so I don’t get manipulated.
I was such a nieve person.😔 working towards wisdom everyday.💜
Law 1 should be love one another! "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
Karine, this is a lesson to be narcissistic. Teach people to be kind, compassionate, not look for an opportunity for always scoring, using others. What is this obsession with always being on top, unique, etc? Imagine a world where everyone is trying to score! There was a time when Robert Greene's book made sense, during wars and territory building. Be who you are.If you are chatty patty, chat. You can be wise, and chatty. I have seen people read and practise this book, and they are still there broke, average, in shallow relationships. Very soon people see shallow, calculating people from a far. The world needs warmth now, not scheming calculating sociopaths.
I feel like this is sinister but it can be used so you’ll know other’s intentions and curve them. You can throw (for lack of better words) a monkey wrench into their plans. I am an empath so I pick up on others state of mind when I first meet them so I start playing the game long before they know how intelligent I am. I hate to say but I get to use them for what purpose I need to all the while pretending just as they do. It is what it is. I learned a long time ago that good people don’t have the option of opting out of this. We have to play or get played. However if I see someone is genuine I won’t play with them but I will forever be on guard.
FACTS
Felt the exact same! 69%!
His book is like a knife. A knife can cut your food, cut a noose from your neck and help to defend yourself. But it can also hurt seriously hurt people . People who don't like this book are only focused on the latter.
You really broke down the 48 laws!! Thank you
Thank you ♥️🙏🏼
@@karinealourdementalgems I have just discovered your channel few minutes ago you tube recommendation cos I like ths kind of videos...I have read law of nature Like thrice and I love the way you've just literally broken down all the laws....I am hooked..count a new subbi....much love from Nairobi Kenya East part of Africa...if you may..you can break down ...'"*the power of ikigai...and the power of subconscious mind::""
I have this book and it’s brilliant. He uses real life examples from history and I honestly learn a lot of general knowledge. It’s basically a book on human nature (though he has a separate book on “human nature”) but I’d recommend 100%, especially if you are likely to be a doormat and like Karinne said, likely to be manipulated.
This book _does_ require good judgement, though. And the end of every chapter contains a “reversal” to show how the power can cause harm. Each law is also divided by “transgressions”- misuse of the law, “observance”- proper use of the law, and like I mentioned before the “reversal”.
You can use these laws and still be considered a good person. You just have to know how to use them. This book might even make your life easier. Good luck 😉
This is the narcissist playbook! It’s genius but disgusting at the same time: much of it makes sense! However it’s all power play! Narcissistic people are sick.
I agree ….listening to it all sounds very 🤮🤮
Some of these techniques were used by dictators also. It is very interesting but Karine is right it does work sadly
I love this book, as well as The Art of Seduction. Like you, I found that I was easily manipulated pretty much my entire life. I began reading Robert Greene’s books as a way to understand why we as people do the things we do & how not to be so naive. Great video.
This makes you self aware about bad habits and bad manners as well
Law 10 is the highlight for me. I was speaking to this friend who had a car accident and she would always complay about her past problems, men issue and all the negativity in her life. Within the same week I nearly had 3 bike accident and also my scalp start to itch badly just as she told me she sufferd from head psorasis. Now it might be a coicidence but I realised that other people's emotional problem can also be transferred to you if you soak up their problems.
I love that book. I so agree with you! He has some things he talks about that works in the corporate world that initially sounds sinister. They really do. But when you really think it through, how are things actually work and how it actually plays out, it's not. People like to play people. The best way to bow out is just simply not allow it.
Great one, I need to work on all of it, as someone who wears her heart on her sleeve..I have just been very recently widowed. I have been stolen from, and taken advantage of by 3 people who I trusted most.
@@debrahigh7968 💕 you will be shocked. The difference is profound.
@@ConstantCompanion I sure hope so! 🙏..thank you
@@debrahigh7968 guard your heart! Grieve in private and to yourself. ln public, shine bright and smile as if you are already where you plan to be. People will take advantage of you when you're grieving.
@@SoKimistic thaank you! I wish I had your advice sooner! You are absolutely right about that, it's already happened- lessons learned, the hard way!
Yes, it's a great book, and the knowledge in it is invaluable but needs to be used with discernment.
Exactly!!
❤ Outside of the Bible this is arguably my favourite book❤
9:49
“What makes you unique in…
Work
Social circles
Relationships
?”
Can’t think right now, I’m so dissociated and lost ❤️
Trust the process!💐
Go within! ♥️🔥
"Attract attention at any cost" but "mind your reputation"? Contradictory.🤷🏿♀️ I'm done with playing small for the comfort of others. 💯 As the vibration of humanity ascends, *many things* on this list will become obsolete. Bet on it!✨
My empathy, frankness and innocence.
My voice , my charisma , my courage
Now I know why people at jobs never liked me lol this is crazy. The boss always liked me but my coworkers are always messy.
Why?
Your voice is so relaxing 😌 and i liked all your advice, don't even want to share you with anyone 😅
I read this book twice and I will keep reading it until I’ve gained full control over my life
I feel like you spoke more about false friends. True friends exist!
An hour long video with a thumbnail of Beyonce & Adolph Hitler is a real mindf*ck
I heard this book on audiobook and it was quite interesting - made me want to get a physical copy. A few of the examples truly worked in real life and now I’m treated with so much more respect and appreciation which I knew I deserved. I learned to still be soft spoken (it’s just my voice) but still command respect
I realized after listening to this that I have already mastered Law 17 because I always move in silence and only share what I want others to know. Laws 28 and 31 resonated with me and I will work on improving in these areas. Timidity is not of God. Controlling your own narrative is everything and keeps you ahead of the game. I am a new subscriber and look forward to listening to more valuable content on your channel.
3 things that makes me unique are: my high vibrations, my genuineness, and loyalty to others.
Three things that make me unique
My creativity, artists abilities
Curiousity thirst for knowledge
Perceptivity, open mindedness
AN HOUR LONG VIDEO!? HALLELUJAH!! i KNOW sis is working hardd uploading every single day! The devil works hard but karine works harder! 💟🙈🦋
😭😭😭 thank you love ❤️
The Silence for me. Working in silence; not letting people know your plans. I need to work on that.
That part about friends being easily aroused by jealousy
I got this book many years ago and I learned a lot but wasn’t able to finish. I couldn’t believe how evil people can be. But like you say I bought the book to learn not to let others manipulate me.
3 things that make me unique:
-work:
I draw inspiration and solutions from multiple disciplines when I problem-solve.
I listen to opposing ideologies and methods without wavering from my own.
I value my peers outside of their achievements.
- Social circle:
- I nurture my friends however best meets their needs.
- I have friends from all walks of life.
- I truly celebrate and mourn with my friends.
- Relationship:
I whisper life into your goals.
I take pride in being your confidante.
I teach you interdependence in all aspects of life.
You have a way with words...just lovely!
Well said
I read this book in 2008. Changed my life.
I ended up reading ALL of Robert Greene’s books!!!
He truly helps you understand the flaws of humans and how to deal with them.
I recommend that everyone read this man’s books!!!
I listen to this every week!
Law 10 is the only one I can't get with. I work very hard and nothing seems to work for me and life beats me down. I keep going but it's hard. Alot of people could never survive what I've been through . That can cause depression. Its easy for others that have an easier life to be happy. Helping people will bless you .
Yet still you are surviving and thriving Valerie!!!
Maybe you have a higher purpose Valerie... That's what I tell myself.
I feel the same way. In fact I’ve said the exact same words to myself.
"Satan is the father of all lies." And deception.
Girl this is why I like you, you’re so real on your approach no sugar coating no nothing. This is why I watch your videos.
I read the book recently and I love how you broke this down! Thank you!!!😊
1. My youth
2. My unique information on a multitude of subjects.
3. My ability to make people feel special
Good thing I have chose psychology as a career, to help people with mental diseases, addiction to substance abuse and addiction about POWER, rather than use others to my advantage. It sounds tiredsome trying to be in power and ahead of others rather than to help others and have more rewarding feelings for what you do for them than trying to be ahead of them. Although some of the advices here seems to be helpful, to me PEACE is NOT negotiable. If you know what I mean.✌️
❤❤❤❤
This is one of the best summaries of this book I've seen so far. The music is a bit loud but I can still hear the message.
Needed this video ! Thank you so much for breaking this down .
Thank you for this break down!! This is needed ❤️
Yes keep uploading these!
SISSS You just blessed us with this gem!! I read this book and honestly, I noticed such a huge difference once I started applying them in real life😃
Keep up the good work ❤
i had to cut off all on and off toxic relationships. my life is so peaceful now. i overshared with fake friends who turned on me eventually.
Thank you Karine🙏🏽 I love this book
yessss karine so happy for this channel !
Awesome post. Thank you for being so thorough.
So good. On my third listen! Let’s go 🔥
Ive gotten more support from completing strangers on the internet over friends/family that are actually active in my life. Its really interesting how the people closest to you support you less.. and I dont even mean monetary, Im talking simple words of encouragement.
a gem. thank you! ✨
Thank you Karine!
Thank you for the video!❤

I could listen to your voice all day. Its so soothing.
Very very very relevant and important video !! Facts 100%
Karine... you are Beautiful & your voice is sooo soothing!!! 💜
Thank u boo I'm going to apply this daily for now on ...🥰🥰
Love this video ‼️❤️
Yes to art of negotiation! We need that, Karine!!
Girl thank you for these videos!!! So on point. Keep doing the Lord's work
I love your commentary!
What makes me unique:
- My style : I am known for being put together at all times and looking expensive even when it’s from consignment. I’m known as a classy lady
- My charisma: I’m funny, smart, and compassionate all in one. I am also the wild card and divergent thinker. People seek out my advice and opinion.
- Privacy : I am a private person that is what would be described as a “popular loner”. I have found that people are intrigued by my regular smegular life. It’s one of the most powerful things about me especially in the age of over sharing. I follow Beyoncé’s strategy and rarely post on social media. I only post pics with minimal words.
Omgg an hour long video!! Karine I love your videos, your voice is so relaxing and I love how you explain things. I love Robert Greene’s books and I really enjoyed the recap of this video!
Can you do this for the art of seduction too? I found this so helpful and it really made the book so much more relatable for me.
I absolutely love this 🖤
Thank you karine
Wow! This is SO GOOD. Thank you for putting this all together. I recognize how much work you put into disseminating this information. I will be listening to this more than once.
I just found u, and your opening statement has been my life as well, and it has mentally emotionally and spiritually drained me and now at 48 trying to figure out how to change this... thank u for this.
