    I crafted this summary of the 48 Laws of Power in anger. It is the end result of 2 years of animating all chapters condensed for your viewing pleasure. Surely, you've heard the phrase "Hate the game, not the player." I'm exposing the game and the players for you.
    Being honest and speaking the truth has been a punishing and not at all rewarding experience, since most people will always shoot the messenger. I aim to raise awareness and arm the clueless for self-protection. I am not advocating becoming a manipulating and ruthless sociopath.
    I can't respect those who don't understand the difference. It's a self-improvement book, not the work of the devil. Robert Greene is all about intense realism. Seeing things for what they are, whether you like the truth or not. Hopefully you'll find the video helpful, learn from it and share it with others. I've received plenty of messages from good people claiming it changed their lives for the better. Don't let others use and abuse you. Don't live in a fantasy land. Be cautious. Read this book or don't. *It's up to you.*
    Anyhow, thank you for watching.

    _____
    *Please note*
    1. The laws are not rules. They're general principles. They're situational and not instructional.
    2. You disagree with the term "laws"? Tell Robert Greene, the author, who disagrees with you.
    3. The laws are separate. They're not meant to be harmonious. This is obvious.
    4. Law 48 - Sparta won the Peloponnesian war with Athens. I'm speaking of Sparta's collapse / economic defeat.
    5. "The book is evil." - Is the book not merely a reflection of what human beings are like?
    6. "The book should be banned." You belong to the people who would've burnt books back in the day.
    7. Psychopaths / sociopaths do not need to read in order to become what they are. It's their nature.
    8. The author's intent, my intent is to speak the truth. Deny it all you want. It's a weak mind that runs from reality.
    9. Almost all the laws have a reversal, which I have included in plenty of other videos on my channel.
    10. This is but a short summary of the book to make you curious. It's not a substitute. I recommend reading it.
    11. This is not advocating bad behavior. This is a dojo teaching self-protection from the very people you condemn.
    12. Fools shoot the messenger. It's a damn shame UA-cam comment sections are generally avoided by the intelligent for obvious reasons. Try to understand before you perpetuate outrage culture.
    I am not an atheist. I am not an agnostic. I do not believe in a man sitting in the cloud, a religion a 5 year old could debunk. I very much like Nassim Nicholas Taleb's and Dr. Jordan B. Peterson's views on the matter, but I've also digested Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins' and Christopher Hitchens work. I love the idea of en-theos, the god within, also referenced a lot by Ralph Waldo Emerson. All of them are intellectuals I respect a lot. All of them speak of virtues, morals and principles, which I live my life by. I love my neighbors and this is how I help them. I invite you to be more open-minded.
    Careful, when you try to reprimand me without understanding what I'm doing here, because I do not tolerate virtue-signaling hypocrites who take the moral high ground and claim to be superior only to insult the innocent of crimes the hypocrites are committing. People who take a shit on the street, when no one sees them, then proceed to attack their neighbors for spitting in their own bathroom sink.
    I'd rather you listened carefully, since I am here to learn and teach. Nothing good will come from you holding on to your delusions. *"Nature has made up her mind that what cannot defend itself shall not be defended."* - R. W. Emerson

    In a nutshell, the most important learning I take from this book and that can be applied to all situations: be mindful that everybody wants to be considered valuable and special. All of us feel insecure. So if you want to get along with people and live free of trouble, watch you words and behaviour, because you might unadvertantly convey you don´t respect or value the person you are talking to. You don´t need to overact this. Just look into the eye, listen, and choose your words.

    I can tell you put a lot of work into this, so well done. I know English isn’t your first language, which makes this all the more impressive. Additionally, the cartoons are really fun and make the video a lot less serious, which makes it easier to pay attention to. Though I think you missed some of the points, I still find your work stellar.

      Most people, after spending enough time with a person will know who is real and who is acting. You can't play a whole room/team/social group without someone watching your words, actions and seeing if your intentions add up. The major red flag is someone who can get on with everyone and influence most of them without actually doing much themselves.

      0 No man, it’s amazing how many people are misreading the laws. It’s not just meant for already powerful people, it’s meant for anyone for two main reasons: For defending yourself against the power hungry and for gaining / maintaining power yourself. You don’t HAVE to use these laws to be the biggest asshole alive if you choose not to, but at least be able to know when someone’s using you as a piece in their game.
      Greene even debunked the claim in the book (forget where) that power games are only for the powerful.

All you did was purchase it and now you are "the top of the food chain" The lion in it's base form without any support from other lions is undefeatable by you a naive and foolish human who feels accomplished for things he did not earn.

    As insightful as this is I must say I learned at a young age many of these things through either things that happened to me, mistakes I made, my mom schooling me or just by being quiet and observant. But with that said there are the last few that I've been awakened to recently by living those lessons. Which in hindsight I realize that you do face the same lessons again and again until you master them. I wanted to go to the library yesterday to get this book but kids weren't on it and now I don't have to.

    This book is not for the novice or inexperienced in life. This book has powerful lessons that at times contradict each other, without life's knowledge and experience, it would be very easy to get messed up in the translations. The storylines will interest you, but eventually, you will just re-read the conclusions over and over, so learn slowly and keep the faith, you may need this book someday
