- 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.

Hey Robert Greene….. Bring more vital secret book of the universe to improve the lives of human beings. 📚
@@yourhighness2301hehehjhe
I read the summary of this book on Littler Books and thought some of the advice are very questionable. Would anyone actually want to interact with someone who "get others to do the work for you, but always take the credit", or "use selective honesty and generosity to disarm their victims"? Thoughts?

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.
That’s amazing ❤
I swear I saw this a week ago on a different post this is a fever dream/Deja vu
How inspiring! Thank you for sharing!
wow reading this literally eased my inner trauma
I wish you well brother
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.
To not take orders requires you to have a certain amount of power lol , you chase that power without even knowing it. Maybe you re less ambitious about the amount of power you want. But that doesnt make you rare , it just makes you extremely common
@@gon6152 oh, look! It's Mr. Know It All!
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
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! 🕉
Definitely fake.
Alicia, which one should I read next?
@Paul Milwee a friend just asked the same question. I think the Laws of Human Nature is where I'd start. You can't go wrong with any of Robert's books in my opinion.
I read 48 already. Should I also start from Laws of Human nature?
@ShawN I'm reading The Laws of Human Nature again now for the 3rd time. Excellent book in my opinion.
Thanks Robert I’m an Italian 21 years old and your books are incredible, they are going to transform my life for better!

@@WarbroJavaCo yea ahahahaha
i think i know of one Cesare that indulged in the pusruit of knowledge of power... do you want to surpass him?
No one cares if you're italian
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.
Whos Brian? You mean Robert?

@@tcggggg Whats so funny?
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!😊
The book is good. And now that I know he’s a cat lover😇😇
I have all of his books and I am seriously one of those crazy cat ladies so I love him even more now 😸
You have changed lives with this book. God bless you
“A lot of this is not about using these laws. A lot of this is about defence.” When I first listened to this audiobook my impressions of it was “this is a self-help book for sociopaths”. Perhaps it may have framed these lessons better. Instead of saying “this is what you should do” on certain chapters such as Crush Your Enemies the lesson could have been “Your Enemies will try to Crush You. Here’s what to Watch For.” This is how, as I remember Robert Greene framed his lessons in the superb Laws of Human Nature. Regardless how you feel about 48 Laws of Power The Laws of Human Nature is a must read. Also check out Mastery. While I have mixed feelings about 48 Laws, it has been 8 years since I listened to it and would be open to revisiting it. Also, congratulations on your recovery from your stroke, Mr. Greene.
I’ve seen a lot of people call the book “evil” and that’s just crazy. I’m a devout Christian and find this book most valuable and not a shred of “evil” in it. What it does, is speak directly toward human nature and makes you more aware. For those that are more on the religious end it will absolutely help you guide through life in a way that will foster success while also keeping your values and morales (whatever those may be) as your guardrails.
I love the book because it’s direct and objective and then you can figure out how to apply it to your own life.
It’s not “an evil book that teaches you to do bad things”. It’s data, explained well and you apply it how you see fit.
Yeah, it's like reading inside of the Devil's heart and knowing exactly how all the bad thing on Earth could happen and being able to prevent them cuz you know how they exactly work. The most important thing is to use the advices of this book for your own sake and avoid all the abuses in society because of it.

🤔
The only people who say this book is evil are the communists, Marxist and liberal democrats who are ruining America . That right there should tell you all you need to know.
The book itself is not evil - however, it can be used for evil.
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
I needed to read 48 Laws of Power for exactly that reason. I didn’t want power due to not wanting to offend anyone
Was I wrong. This book was the one that changed my way of thinking. I still reference till this day.
This and The Art of War will make you UNSTOPPABLE!!!
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.
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!
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.
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.
Prince Machivelli.
You are a rare person.
Well done.
Any man who tries to be good all the time is bound to come to ruin amongst the great number who are not good. Hence a prince who wants to keep his authority must learn how not to be good and use that knowledge or refrain from using it as necessity demands.
-Niccolo Machiavelli
@Kyra This is not Religion. This is the world of Power.
Great vid robert, watching a wise man spreading knowledge on youtube is very, very heartwarming
Meeting you is one of my biggest goals, RG! Thank you for impacting so many lives, including mine. I admire you.
I’m learning so much from your videos here.
Thank you🫶🏽
I love you and your work, Robert! You are one of a kind! 🙏🏼♥️
Rereading this right now and I can't thank you enough Mr Robert 😊
This is a genius video. There are youtube videos doing just this everywhere. Robert just pre-empted them all. Power move
Bob, I pray for you. Be healthy, happy and prosperous. Blessings
My favorite part once I read the book for the first time was the preface. Then “think as you like but behave like others” was another favorite of mine. I notice even children play power games. I can see it with my niece and nephew.
Shouldn't they be taught _not to_ though? Why are we ok with this?
The goal is to let go of the ego self and becoming a being of light; the New Man as the Bible states. We should be teaching our children differently. The problem is most don't understand these deeper things until our later years Lol. C'est la vie !!!
Keep the videos coming, Robert!
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.
This man is a blessing to the world, As a young man I really appreciate his work 🔥
This world is going to be an even bigger stage when everyone has read this book 😅. Lets hope they don't end up killing each other because their tactics aren't working.
Thanks to this man for his great work
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.
Hello Robert, I pray 🤲 this message reaches you, my family and me have been ruined by our family and its taken us down and out, grief has cost us two people dying, but we continue to be good, not anymore, we need to be smart, so I brought your book and I wish I knew you growing up because I would not have wasted 21 years of my life hoping and praying people would treat me and my small family better, the outsiders having been wishing us harm , hopefully your book will give me some training and education, thank you Robert Greene
You’re the man Robert I tell everyone I know about the things I’ve learned from your literature… thank you for your guidance through this life
You have helped humanity more than most ever will come close to
Your book as made me a better saint, and for that I am deeply thankful! May God bless you.
Mr Robert Greene you have written the best books I have ever read in my life. Thank you for your great work and your knowledge. God bless you and take care! Much love and greetings from Germany❤

Thank You for the insights. Really has changed my life.
You're one of the best writer of all time can wait to hear your next book Sir Robert Greene may God keep bless and guide you 👏💯⭐🌟🔥
You’re one of my lifetime favorite authors ❤
This book drastically helped me with understanding for myself and my clients better. I highly recommended here. I also recommend reading the laws of human nature by Robert as well. It's a great book that really opened me up to my Shadow characteristics and those of others around me. It made me more a more empathetic person.
The best book ever written !
Must be a good book... thank you, Robert Greene. ❤
As a student, I read this book 10 years ago in Russian. (Russian is my mother tongue) Now, since I learned some English, I will read it in English. Thank you for this masterpiece of yours.
I was also very fond of your book about seduction, actually, it was my favorite.
Just started reading your book. Love it so far. I am 31 and wished I would have known and read this in college.
Great work
Great Book. He is one of my favorite and incredible authors of all time.🏆
I am at 46th law... Thank you for writing this book...
Thanks for this video. I love self growth and I also like the book, change your thoughts change your life by Wayne Dwyer. I think from your video I’m going to like your book
In my 38 years of existence only Robert Greene has given me wisdoms that I have never learned from all the combinations of books that I have ever read. For me Robert Greene is trully legendary. Thank you Robert Greene. Your books transform me to a better person especially The Laws of Human Nature which is the core principle of all your books. You are a hero to me.. 👌
All of his books are worth reading
Sir .....your book has helped me in many ways ....literally in numerous ways from identifying the toxic person to how to plot their slyness .....You are amazin ....thanks for guidin us sir .....Keep writin ♥
I love this book. I've been referring to it for years whenever I feel overwhelmed. It never fails to steer me in the logical direction.
By "logical," I mean: right.
Thanks for your effort and your good will to us
As a person of faith, i can really understand why religious people think with their emotions than they do with their minds. One thing they fail to understand is that many religious demagogues use these same laws to keep a tight grip on their followers.
What Greene offers the world is the secret of every tyrant garbed as a saint or a lamb. He did an excellent home work before coming to the public with this remarkable magnum opus.
When i read his laws of humab nature, i could relate to a lot.
Greene is that teacher and public guide who says it as it is and shows you how to live and make the best of this life.
Thanks so much for what you have given to the world through your brilliant mind. You will have to really believe in the power of the human mind to read, understand and love Robert Greene
I love how Ryan Holiday is so active in Robert's continued success. They both deserve each other.
He's the guy Robert mentioned? Lol
Is he? I was wondering who it was...@@jpmisterioman
First I was afraid of even listening to this book…because malignant narcissist I met did almost everything described in this book to seduce me. I was frightened when I found out that such book exists. I was worried if people are going to use this book as their guidebook to do bad things… and overpower victims. However I realized that it is important to see the World as it is. The shadow part of the World is not outside of me. We are all connected to it. We have to face it so we can transcend it to something better… we have to know ourselves And know our enemies in order to win… life, individually. Thank you for providing your years of experience and wisdom Roberts! I will use it to navigate this World so I don’t get deceived.
Thank you Mr Greene
Tanks for present such professional way this subject
There is a lot of Grey in this Black and White thinking nowadays world. This is truly a great book. Worth many reads.
I heard about this book yesterday! I watched a video detailing every law last night. And today I find that the author has dimerised the book 3 days ago! I felt like I already live by these laws! Maybe 40 out of the 48 are just my personality anyway! Started thinking maybe I’m a psychopath lol.. but I feel like I win in life the only difference is my power resides at the bottom! I am the top of the bottom and I’m happy with it. I seem to get what I want when I need it and I’ve always felt like the universe favours me above all.. they call me king Henry
Once again thank you Robert
Your book helped me so much in my mentality all around. Thank you. You are really one of a kind.
This book is so useful in the way that makes me curious about people from everywhere else in the world!
Made me see a different perspective in lifeb
Thank you Robert.
I really love this book. its so insightful and had my full attention. it taught me so much. I listened to it on audible. but I am going to book the physical book as well to read.
I'm halfway through the audiobook now & I've been listening to it on Audible & it's truly been eye-opening and at times even disturbing to come to grips with the brutal tactics of people. At the same time, it's been very insightful to understand the true nature of human beings. It's worth reading/listening to as it does prepare you for the real world so you can navigate it properly and with the right perspective.
Thanks for the information Mr. Greene, your work has been very helpful and I look forward to learning more from you catalog.
Take Care,
Please how can I have the audio book ?. Help
It would be cool if you made a web series where each episode adapts each one of the 48 Laws of Power. You could add updated references to events that have taken place over the past 25 years along with elements from your later books like Mastery and the Laws of Human Nature
Brilliant Idea!
Podcast ?
Thank you Robert
This book really changed my life, thank you mister Green
48 LAWS OF POWER IS EXTREMELY VALUABLE BOOK
ROBERT SIR YOU ARE THE BEST.
Robert Greene, Thank you so much! I too have had a small stroke & understand where you're coming from. Miss my mountain bike, but still do photography. Thanks again, the next one is "The Law's of Human Nature."
His books are transforming me I never thought of in my wildest imaginations
Very good channel, very interesting and meaningful stories attract me to listen often. I'm Vietnamese, I always listen to the channel's shares. You are truly amazing, the best inspiration I admire you so much.
I love your books sir
Thank you for this book! This is a most fascinating read. I’m almost done with it. I listen to the Audible version while reading/annotating the actual book. I’ve read this book through the eyes of playing Poker - how to become successful in the human elements of the game & will be summarizing my new Poker Laws of Power (for my eyes only) once I’m finished. The book has given me a new understanding of how the world operates. Your Human Nature book is next!
I have all of your books. Thank you so much for sharing all of your research and knowledge
💕😁 From Pastor Ann in Arizona
I ordered a copy today
Can’t wait to receive it
Thanks Sir Robert 🙏❤️
Your book was mentioned to me and already I wish to purchase it. I know it is the book for me. Love and blessings, H.
Amazing sir
Sir,your book the 48 laws of power is my favourite and the fact that it's banned in many prisons across the globe is definitely saying something.....
Thank you, Robert. As I said in another thread you truly are one of the human greats like you've mentioned during the 48. We appreciate you!
Thank you for your valuable literary jewels, Mr. Robert Greene, I would like you to capture your life or at least a part of it in a biography, it would be an invaluable treasure. Greetings from Mexicali Méx
We are lucky to have u sir Robert ❤
....woah..... I (24m) have been seeing patterns of power more and more recently, especially regarding social impact, sociology, interpersonal communication, and politics. And apparently there's already a book laying it all out. So excited to read this.
Thank you very much🔥🔥🔥
It’s all about the survival of the fittest in this universe and the need for hard and soft power to exist for a blink of an eye in this quantum realm. Much love ❤️ for you Robert and may Allah bless your soul
This book saved my life ❤
Thank you 🙏
This was my first book of yours and from this book you became my favourite author.
Robert I hate to say this but I've literally been sitting on your book since about 2012. So 10 or 11 years I have been in possession of The 48 Laws of Power. The day I bought it a good friend of mine said "You don't want that, it's a not a book for someone good like you" ( I dont remember the exact words but the gist and feeling is there).
I've been eyeballing your book as I've; moved from house to house, from state to state, and from job to job on my bookshelf. Telling myself I should read that; and that one memory pops up and I get distracted and do something else or read another book. But I always tell myself the same thing I did the day I bought your book. Which was "This is going to be more than useful when I crack it open".
So I guess what I'm saying is in an honor of your 25th anniversary of your publishing it I swear upon my health that I am going to begin and finish reading your book by the end of 2023.
It's crazy I've clocked countless hours of watching and listening to you on several podcasts talking but still never opened up the book.
Here's to the 25th anniversary year, of the 48 Laws of POWER, being the biggest and best year of sales so far!!!
you don't need the book anymore cause you've won the prize for the greatest procrastinator.
This book birthed a phenix in my heart
It's not bragging if it's true! Love your books. If you're not paying attention to this man you're basically handicapping yourself in this thing called life.
Thank Robert
amazing book!
Mr Robert, your books saved me from wasting my life. Everything was so blurry and confusing, but thanks to your books now i know the truth of what was happening to me and my life. Thank you very much!
Could you do similar video on art of seduction? I think there are a lot of people who would like to hear you on that subject.
