Why is everyone in the comment section tripping over these laws? What did u guys expect? These are the laws of POWER. You don’t get to have power by being a nice guy to everyone you meet. It’s a jungle out there and you have to at least arm yourself.
Learn to use what Laws you can for good, and learn the others so you can protect yourself from those that would invoke them. Use this book as a shield, not a sword.
If u look carefully at these 48 laws they r all not for a regular person each law has its own specific role and conditions which most of us will never face. So the trick is take the laws that u think would fit in ur life circumstances and learn them not to manipulate others but to identify other's attempts of manipulating you and thereby making yourself invisible to any harm and work effectively towards success. These laws are more for defence tactics than attack tactics.

Reminder: These are laws of “Power”. Not laws on how to live your personal life. Reminder: Most people don’t think like leaders and that is why there are more workers than owners. More workers than managers. So a worker mind will not understand how to gain power over people. A worker mind will not understand the relevance these laws have to transition to a good manager or owner. This lesson is great. I ❤️ it. Ive found through my own experience of failures that these laws work to manage people effectively and gain respect as a leader. I agree with all the laws except maybe 2. WOW!!!!
When you use these tricks others will lose confidence in you, it's unavoidable - there are always questions to answer and people checking - power can be lost. Illegimite power is very unstable and it is always under attack so it doesn't stay. You will lose your reputation and more than one will revenge using the tricks against you. At some point you will bite the dust. With these evil ways, the weakness of the doctrine is that it's every man for himself, anyone can put a bullet to your head from behind. And the so called satisfaction from this kind of power is fake and linked with the darkest emotions on Earth: guilt, emptyness, shame, loss of belief in anything, seeing, doing, living horror, pain, remorse, impossibility to love and be loved, ect. Someone using the same amount of energy but with white principles instead of black principles will get real and lasting confidence from others and will get much more cooperation and synergy from a greater number of people, gathering greater active, constructive forces. This system give access to true happiness and true love, faith in human kind. Freedom instead of slavery. Think of Nelson Mandela.
So your saying your " workers" are your enemies that you're aimed at overpowering. Interesting sounds like a harmonious type of environment you've created. I'm sure all your enemies appreciate your attitude and respect you for your power to manipulate them with tactics designed to disempower them.

I tried the law of being absent to gain respect. And trust me I has very popular everywhere and yes when I came back it got people talking but they didn't approach me or ask me why I did what I did. They forgot about me. Trust me people are selfish. I took a break for myself and thought it's gonna increase my respect anyways but it didn't. They took is very personal and stopped caring about me
This is basically a guide on how to become a sociopath EDIT: My comment wasn't actually meant to be serious but a lot of sociopaths will and have probably been pulled to the dark side by this book. Nonetheless, it has helped people overcome the constraints of power in tenfold, just like any weapon can either be used to harm or protect, most harm-do-ers already have weapons of their own so why not arm yourself to prepare for them? I stand in the middle of this ultimatum, using this book not to protect myself or harm people, but to fight the evil using it too. And thank you for all the likes, for 2 years I had no idea this comment blew up so much haha.
Anamaria Flores Lol yeah sure, except he was voted in by the same America that Voted Obama, so Obama is a maniac too?

If anything, this book has shown me that no one really gives a shit about you and you have to look out for yourself at all times. This is a great book for empaths, in that, it deciphers the intentions of people. I listen to this book daily to ween people off. Never to do them harm, of course, but only to remind me to look out for myself and keep it that way. I've become more vigalant, much more quiet, and way more observant. Great book!
The greatest power in this world is love. Do good things for others, help them, put ur self others shoes, pray for ur self and for others, forgive, don’t love money, be kind and study Bible everyday. I know many people will take advantage of you and maybe u are tired of them but believe me if ur heart is pure god is gonna help u by showing u something. We have a very short time in this world. We don’t even have enough time to do good things. We should work on our spirit more.
Nova that’s true. Those demons wants us to do what they want. In the Bible their is a saying “be wise like a serpent ....” setting boundaries are a good way to protect ourselves . Maybe it will be our friends, family members, business partners .. etc. some people wants to control our mind so they can accomplish their goal through us which is against gods will. They use Seduction and manipulation. Personally praying and fasting helped me to be my self.
3:55 never agreed with this but saw it myself as i suffered from this as well, from trying to help others to get through their misery, you can fall into it yourself, be aware about this one y'all~

If you destroy an enemy completely, that person has nothing to lose and that is the reason why he is come back for revenge. It's important for you to let them you're capable of however don't attack them for no reason. Always remember "An eye for an eye"
Macon A. Fortune remember it is like any other books it sounds great in theory but not in reality. There will always someone better than you and he or she will take you out.
Johnson Kids NO u cannot take out a sociopath unless you ARE ONE. U have to BECOME a sociopath/narcissist in order to take them OUT! These laws are helpful bc i know a narcissist that i wanna take out
I recommend just reading the book. Goes into more detail and it just explains that these are the things people in power use and that the knowledge of them is for those who either seek power, watch it, or arm yourself against it.
Some of these are evil, yes. But it's not wise to make such extreme assumption . These rules are being used all the time, you just don't notice them because of your assumption. They are re-packaged as marketing, sale tactics, corporate know-how, and of course politics.
Many of these laws have been naturally instilled in me however I've handicapped myself by resisting my natural instincts because I've been conditioned to resist deception and trickery. I will embrace my natural instincts from now on.
r.greene is absolutely right in almost all what he says , but trying to apply all these good advices is impossible, because you cannot use these strategies without adapting them to you present reality which is unique and doesn't match with any past or somebody's else situation, to me the only way is attain this mind plasticity is to keep your mind fit and alert , and one of the ways to do this is through real meditation techniques which have been created by "masters" to overcome mental rigidity to be aware when needed you need to know when to use your mind intensely and when to let it cool down , if it is always running , it may be too weak when troubles arise, anyone agreed with me ?
Law 49: use the 48 laws of power to identify threats that use the 48 laws, sever your relationship with said sociopath, and use select laws for good rather than bad.
@Souleth What it seems like is that you don't understand the word. Narcissists' lack of empathy makes unethical actions like lying, cheating, stealing, manipulation, and deception come naturally with their faulty cognitive processes. As long as they can achieve a benefit, they believe whatever they have to do to achieve it is justified. Naturally, they unconsciously or consciously gravitate towards Machevellian ethics where the end justifies the means. This book is a direct derivative of Machiavelli's work, but it is more beneficial because it lays out specific laws to employ the ethical system.
@Souleth "I suppose you watched this video with it on mute and your eyes closed" What an incredibly insightful sentence. Not only is it blatantly dumb, but it produces zero value for the point you're trying to make. However, I recognize it as a low-effort attempt to discredit Hasan Z.
@Souleth "This creates individuals so far from narcissism." While I proved this to undoubtedly false, you provided zero evidence to support your baseless claim.
@Souleth "I don’t think you understand the word." From what I've read, it sounds like you don't do much thinking. If you're going to claim something, the burden of proof is on you to demonstrate your point. If you don't think Hasan Z understands what narcissism is, then you need to demonstrate that you have a better understanding. All three of your sentences are word garbage.
@Souleth Imagine being so blatantly dumb that you make a second failed attempt to construct a decent thought. I first read the book in 2012 and have read it two more times since. Whatever information in the video is irrelevant to what I already have read. I suggest picking it up or just reading in general. It may help you break through the superficial plane of intelligible thinking that you seem to be stuck in.
Silence is golden! it’s incredible what people do with it...I prefer to listen more than talk..and listening gives you a compass to choose ..it’s very powerful ..if you really listen listen..people always disclose their intentions believe them..
Now I'mma say this. I was astonished when I first read this book. It opened my mind up in a way to that I wanted to see more thru other ppl and my own past situations to see my own mistakes. Robert Greene is right spot on. I've become a better person because now I understand why ppl do what they do. Things don't surprise me anymore or get me upset. He'll I'mma beat u at your own game. Counter attack by me knowing your intentions. Which means I'm also a part of this mind game. And I'm cool with that. I play it better than u thanks to Robert Greene. We all human and play this shit. U can deny it all u want but we all the same. This book is great for everyone to read!!!
The 1st time I ever seen and read this book I was in jail and was told by many other inmates as well as the guy who lent it to me that it's the opposite of the bible pretty much. He was right and I was living naturally like this. Since I changed I was not getting locked up. Think about what I just posted. In JAIL was the 1st I seen it. Now I just keep in mind the evil that makes people like this and stay away from them.
Theres nothing wrong with this book. I hope you know people use these tactis on a subconscious level. Either use it for good or to counter it. Idk why they give it to prisoners tho these some strong tactics to be aware of
Some laws are great for protection against narcissists/ unsavory ppl etc but the whole concept of having complete power( to dominate) is living life very superficially. All in all i agree alot with most of the laws.
Surprisingly having average Power, either socially, financially or through any other source makes life a lot easier, it is not easy to become a king that's why you have to act like one in your style
Beings act upon their feelings and cravings. The most powerful man is in control of his feelings and cravings. He who have power over his feelings and cravings is the most happiest.
I've lived through most of this and continue to do so. These hacks are actually what come to you as you get older. If you can master some in relative youth? Even better but that's often a rare combination. This is also why you also need a bit of relative solitude. Time away from the noise. To think and plot. Only other observation is that there doesn't always have to be an enemy. Its interesting to have one to practice on perhaps but modern life doesn't necessarily lend itself to adversarial contact in the more obvious way. Often because your circle may not be full of competitive people. One other massively important aspect is emotional control. Never let it be obvious what you are thinking or feeling. Whilst also being able to deploy a vanilla demeanor. Always mentally prepare for how you might withstand bad news. You mother/father/child died. All likely or possible outcomes. Will it totally shred your emotional being? You need to build reserves of strength for when bad news comes as it invariably will. The journey continues.
I read this book yesterday, and it was only yesterday that I found out. When I read this book, after 21 years of reading anyone's book, I went and laid down on the bed. Couldn't get away from me. This book shattered my hope of success 100%. I couldn't control my crying for 37 hours. How and why would someone do this to someone? My life has been 98% wrong, according to this book. This may be why I have not been successful. My heart cried, but there was no change in my courage and enthusiasm. When I go on the internet and read everyone's comments, my soul sends love and blessings to all of you. May God give you all happiness and peace. I love you all very much, and thanks to the internet, I can send love to you all.
Law 47 - Conor McGregor was so overconfident he believed he could beat the greatest boxer of recent times . Along the way he gained a lot of hate from both the boxing and mma community.
He knew he didn't have a chance but he didn't have anything to lose. He didn't fight at his sport so he would still have his reputation intact and he would get paid more than in a regular mma fight.
But, the POWER side is, Connor gained more Money than he can spend. Money is Power in America...So, it's a Win Win..lose jealous friends, and gain plenty Money and blessings! Connor made smart moves these last few years. The Mask is Working all the Way UP! Everybody pays to see a Billy bad ass lose....

Robert Green does not have an original idea or analysis in his books. But he is one of the best COMPILERS, SUMMARIZERS and PARAPHRASERS of great books by great writers.
I love this audiobook so much that I listen to it repeatedly to absorb it until it's part of my DNA...lol😂. Kidding aside, things I liked, - NEW PARADIGM after listening the 48 laws, you will never see the world the same way again. once you understand some of these laws you will see many underlying currents and motives you did not see before. - INCREASES POWER you wil become exponentially more powerfull by knowing and understanding these laws -CRYSTAL CLEAR every law is clearly outlined with "transgression" of the law, "observance" of the law, keys to power, and a "reversal" -GREAT STORIES the 48 laws are packed with mindblowing and sometimes humorous stories of people in history practicing these laws. this is helpful as some of the concepts are quite abstract. WARNING: -RISKY (if you're not careful) an old proverb says " A man who plays with snakes will eventually be bitten". If you begin to use the 48 Laws improperly, you could get yourself in some dangerous situations, lose friends, piss off a lot a people, and destroy relationships - REQUIRES DISCERNMENT if you you are looking for a highly concrete book that the says "do abc and you will accomplish xyz" look elsewhere. the Laws require good judgement and and and prospecting nature to practice and apply -NOT FOR EVERYONE If you are aghast at the idea of manipulation and deceit then read with caution. OVERALL: If you want to have more power or a better understanding of why different situations turn out the the way they do, you should definitely read the 48 laws of power by Robert Greene. Some reviews labeling Robert Greene as evil don't understand. First, to understand the 48 laws of power, you must know two key ideas 1. you CAN NOT escape the power game. thinking you can "not participate" is as foolish as thinking that you could somehow escape gravity or make the sun stand still. Robert Greene explains why in the intro with some excellent examples 2. the 48 laws of power are neither good nor evil; they are just LAWS. If someone pushed a man off a cliff would you blame gravity for for his demise? This is the mindset you must adopt in order to learn a lot from this book. Robert Greene gave me my "3rd eye" and I am very grateful. To show my gratefulness, I bought 4 Books Set By Robert Greene .The Concise Laws of Human Nature, The Concise Mastery, The Concise 48 Laws Of Power & The Concise Art of Seduction for only $41 at Amazon. I can't wait to read it. The brilliance of Robert Greene reminds me of Jordan Peterson.
I'm so happy I came across this book in grade ten. I was able to use these laws subconsciously throughout school and work. but in honest opinion I came across the prince first. so been using these laws that are and should be common, cause I always thought it was so stupid how I was able to get into people heads, so now 22 I been teaching my friends to use these tricks. do to my youth no one suspects anything for now. but tactics grow stale.

Reminder: These are laws of “Power”. Not laws on how to live your personal life. Reminder: Most people don’t think like leaders and that is why there are more workers than owners. More workers than managers. So a worker mind will not understand how to gain power over people. A worker mind will not understand the relevance these laws have to transition to a good manager or owner. This lesson is great. I ❤️ it. Ive found through my own experience of failures that these laws work to manage people effectively and gain respect as a leader. I agree with all the laws except maybe 2. WOW!!!!
When you use these tricks others will lose confidence in you, it's unavoidable - there are always questions to answer and people checking - power can be lost. Illegimite power is very unstable and it is always under attack so it doesn't stay. You will lose your reputation and more than one will revenge using the tricks against you. At some point you will bite the dust. With these evil ways, the weakness of the doctrine is that it's every man for himself, anyone can put a bullet to your head from behind. And the so called satisfaction from this kind of power is fake and linked with the darkest emotions on Earth: guilt, emptyness, shame, loss of belief in anything, seeing, doing, living horror, pain, remorse, impossibility to love and be loved, ect. Someone using the same amount of energy but with white principles instead of black principles will get real and lasting confidence from others and will get much more cooperation and synergy from a greater number of people, gathering greater active, constructive forces. This system give access to true happiness and true love, faith in human kind. Freedom instead of slavery. Think of Nelson Mandela.
So your saying your " workers" are your enemies that you're aimed at overpowering. Interesting sounds like a harmonious type of environment you've created. I'm sure all your enemies appreciate your attitude and respect you for your power to manipulate them with tactics designed to disempower them.
Brodactor . agree.

Law #5
Reputation is everything, guard it with your life.
#Iwill!
Nah, there's tons of powerful people with terrible reputations. Think about it.
Reputation only lasts but so long , theres always someone ready to tarnish it once you gain power
@SOLO name one thing stronger than CONGRESS NOTHING ! THATS THE ONLY POWER 😭😴 WAKE UP
@@BamGene21That’s easy, Aipac has congress under its thumb, who is Aipac representing, well that’s a story for another day, clue is the chosen people, all you gentiles are nothing compared to us
I tried the law of being absent to gain respect. And trust me I has very popular everywhere and yes when I came back it got people talking but they didn't approach me or ask me why I did what I did. They forgot about me. Trust me people are selfish. I took a break for myself and thought it's gonna increase my respect anyways but it didn't. They took is very personal and stopped caring about me
This is basically a guide on how to become a sociopath
EDIT: My comment wasn't actually meant to be serious but a lot of sociopaths will and have probably been pulled to the dark side by this book.
Nonetheless, it has helped people overcome the constraints of power in tenfold, just like any weapon can either be used to harm or protect, most harm-do-ers already have weapons of their own so why not arm yourself to prepare for them?
I stand in the middle of this ultimatum, using this book not to protect myself or harm people, but to fight the evil using it too.
And thank you for all the likes, for 2 years I had no idea this comment blew up so much haha.
sociopaths run the world
the worlds most powerful human is a drug lord
@@bruhwtfskte3950 no it's the federal bank owner.
That's what I was thinking. I know someone who seems really well-versed on this list.
and a narcissist
This explains why so many maniacs are in power
Jaydayoungan - crying out for help
Trump 🙄
Marcel Miller no, it’s Bc power corrupts absolutely
Anamaria Flores Lol yeah sure, except he was voted in by the same America that Voted Obama, so Obama is a maniac too?
Plus the media is not and never will be on Trumps side
Literally Clinton ran against Trump and had Bernie and Obama endorsing her and he still won
Get your pathetic stay with mom and dad ass somewhere else
Yep. A lot of psychopaths are in power
The true rule of power is: life is a personal perspective, know yourself and you will know others. Everything in between is decoration.
Exactly!
ABSOLUTELY. THESE "LAWS" ARE DISGUSTING
" Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. " Jesus in Mark 13:31
If anything, this book has shown me that no one really gives a shit about you and you have to look out for yourself at all times. This is a great book for empaths, in that, it deciphers the intentions of people. I listen to this book daily to ween people off. Never to do them harm, of course, but only to remind me to look out for myself and keep it that way. I've become more vigalant, much more quiet, and way more observant. Great book!
agree. as an empath, I found this book intriguing because it reflects thoughts that are very different from mine.
The greatest power in this world is love. Do good things for others, help them, put ur self others shoes, pray for ur self and for others, forgive, don’t love money, be kind and study Bible everyday. I know many people will take advantage of you and maybe u are tired of them but believe me if ur heart is pure god is gonna help u by showing u something. We have a very short time in this world. We don’t even have enough time to do good things. We should work on our spirit more.
I’ll be kind but will never study that comic book called Bible .
You can't survive in this jungle
But yes always kind to others and love all
There are demons out here in people. People will literally use u. Not everyone has love or good intentions
Nova that’s true. Those demons wants us to do what they want. In the Bible their is a saying “be wise like a serpent ....” setting boundaries are a good way to protect ourselves . Maybe it will be our friends, family members, business partners .. etc. some people wants to control our mind so they can accomplish their goal through us which is against gods will. They use Seduction and manipulation. Personally praying and fasting helped me to be my self.
You just armed me with the piece to the puzzle I need to be whole thank you for this summary king!
This book definitely changed my life for the better.
3:55 never agreed with this but saw it myself as i suffered from this as well, from trying to help others to get through their misery, you can fall into it yourself, be aware about this one y'all~
I have read this book. After reading it I was able to understand other great pieces of literature.
Law #49 - Never read UA-cam comments !
Too late for me...
Keep the real laws that's in the bible that includes the dietary law not this made up BS
Too late for me but thx
:-)))) Too true Loll
😂😂😂😂😂😭
I was thoroughly impressed with this video. The production value is top-notch and the subject matter was presented in a clear and engaging way. Your hard work and dedication definitely shows. Keep up the amazing work!😀
Most of these things are what Narcissist do naturally. So many contradictions.
True soo many laws contradict each other ✨
Exactly . Like court attention at all cost . But also law 38 , blend in and think like others so u won’t offend them lol like huh . Which is which
If you destroy an enemy completely, that person has nothing to lose and that is the reason why he is come back for revenge. It's important for you to let them you're capable of however don't attack them for no reason. Always remember "An eye for an eye"
Some of these "rules" are really valuable however half of it sounds like something straight out of the mouth of a reckless sociopath.
Macon A. Fortune remember it is like any other books it sounds great in theory but not in reality. There will always someone better than you and he or she will take you out.
Johnson Kids NO u cannot take out a sociopath unless you ARE ONE. U have to BECOME a sociopath/narcissist in order to take them OUT! These laws are helpful bc i know a narcissist that i wanna take out
I recommend just reading the book. Goes into more detail and it just explains that these are the things people in power use and that the knowledge of them is for those who either seek power, watch it, or arm yourself against it.
Some of these are evil, yes. But it's not wise to make such extreme assumption . These rules are being used all the time, you just don't notice them because of your assumption. They are re-packaged as marketing, sale tactics, corporate know-how, and of course politics.
If you wish to do good you must first obtain the power. Nicholo Machiavelli.
This summary is a lot better than the book itself! One of the best videos I have seen on UA-cam in a long time. Thanks for sharing your work!
Many of these laws have been naturally instilled in me however I've handicapped myself by resisting my natural instincts because I've been conditioned to resist deception and trickery. I will embrace my natural instincts from now on.
Use this book as a lighthouse. You will nvr b disappointed. 💯✔️💪🏽👍🏾
r.greene is absolutely right in almost all what he says , but trying to apply all these good advices is impossible, because you cannot use these strategies without adapting them to you present reality which is unique and doesn't match with any past or somebody's else situation,
to me the only way is attain this mind plasticity is to keep your mind fit and alert , and one of the ways to do this is through real meditation techniques which have been created by "masters" to overcome mental rigidity
to be aware when needed you need to know when to use your mind intensely and when to let it cool down , if it is always running , it may be too weak when troubles arise,
anyone agreed with me ?
not really. many of these principles are easily applied in a highly advanced white collar corporate environment.
I have a past and a leading trait in my social circle ⭕️
Perfect overview. I've read the book and I became inseparable with since.
Law 49: Many of the previous laws are traps. Choose wisely.
Law 50: In the court of a powerful king, the jester has more power than the prince.
Law 49: use the 48 laws of power to identify threats that use the 48 laws, sever your relationship with said sociopath, and use select laws for good rather than bad.
robert greens book are great,very effective. thanks for the video.
This should be called the Laws of Manipulation
yeah--you got it right brother.
"Behaviour of Sociopath"
Yeah. Want power?
@@xotinny1150 the fact that it’s a question means you already know the obvious answer to that incomplete statement.
@@xotinny1150 and you see how irrelevant that was ... but carry on.
Law 49: Use the above laws to become a narcissist.
@Souleth What it seems like is that you don't understand the word. Narcissists' lack of empathy makes unethical actions like lying, cheating, stealing, manipulation, and deception come naturally with their faulty cognitive processes. As long as they can achieve a benefit, they believe whatever they have to do to achieve it is justified. Naturally, they unconsciously or consciously gravitate towards Machevellian ethics where the end justifies the means. This book is a direct derivative of Machiavelli's work, but it is more beneficial because it lays out specific laws to employ the ethical system.
@Souleth "I suppose you watched this video with it on mute and your eyes closed" What an incredibly insightful sentence. Not only is it blatantly dumb, but it produces zero value for the point you're trying to make. However, I recognize it as a low-effort attempt to discredit Hasan Z.
@Souleth "This creates individuals so far from narcissism." While I proved this to undoubtedly false, you provided zero evidence to support your baseless claim.
@Souleth "I don’t think you understand the word." From what I've read, it sounds like you don't do much thinking. If you're going to claim something, the burden of proof is on you to demonstrate your point. If you don't think Hasan Z understands what narcissism is, then you need to demonstrate that you have a better understanding. All three of your sentences are word garbage.
@Souleth Imagine being so blatantly dumb that you make a second failed attempt to construct a decent thought. I first read the book in 2012 and have read it two more times since. Whatever information in the video is irrelevant to what I already have read. I suggest picking it up or just reading in general. It may help you break through the superficial plane of intelligible thinking that you seem to be stuck in.
इस वीडियो में आपकी अंग्रेजी बहुत स्पष्ट और साफ-सुथरी हैं और पूरे 48 नियम बताने के लिए बहुत-बहुत शुक्रिया थैंक यू फॉर दिस
Narcissists and sociopaths do it naturally. Thats exactly how my ex gf was
😮😢
Did u just get caught?? Is it her, she sure seems terrifying???
Smack that Bitch🖐
sad but true
@MARK PEARSON Jesus fuck.. You have issues
Silence is golden! it’s incredible what people do with it...I prefer to listen more than talk..and listening gives you a compass to choose ..it’s very powerful ..if you really listen listen..people always disclose their intentions believe them..
Now I'mma say this. I was astonished when I first read this book. It opened my mind up in a way to that I wanted to see more thru other ppl and my own past situations to see my own mistakes. Robert Greene is right spot on. I've become a better person because now I understand why ppl do what they do. Things don't surprise me anymore or get me upset. He'll I'mma beat u at your own game. Counter attack by me knowing your intentions. Which means I'm also a part of this mind game. And I'm cool with that. I play it better than u thanks to Robert Greene. We all human and play this shit. U can deny it all u want but we all the same. This book is great for everyone to read!!!
Sounds like something a beta cuck would say
I'mma ?
This is fair if you like to identify the practitioner of these laws.
I never reveal my intentions even though people think I do.
The 1st time I ever seen and read this book I was in jail and was told by many other inmates as well as the guy who lent it to me that it's the opposite of the bible pretty much. He was right and I was living naturally like this. Since I changed I was not getting locked up. Think about what I just posted. In JAIL was the 1st I seen it. Now I just keep in mind the evil that makes people like this and stay away from them.
+Alpha Ghost You're right. These laws can certainly be evil, which is why it's good to know about them
grade ten for me.
Theres nothing wrong with this book. I hope you know people use these tactis on a subconscious level. Either use it for good or to counter it. Idk why they give it to prisoners tho these some strong tactics to be aware of
You can use knowledge for good or bad.
Orion Grove I see these principles applied nearly every day at work. it's just how the game is played.
Super explanation.......Brother.......... And art diagrams wonderful thankyou so much....... Totally superb .....
Some laws are great for protection against narcissists/ unsavory ppl etc but the whole concept of having complete power( to dominate) is living life very superficially. All in all i agree alot with most of the laws.
I agree, I don't care about total power. I just wanted to have a happy and contented life.
Surprisingly having average Power, either socially, financially or through any other source makes life a lot easier, it is not easy to become a king that's why you have to act like one in your style
Beings act upon their feelings and cravings.
The most powerful man is in control of his feelings and cravings.
He who have power over his feelings and cravings is the most happiest.
Very useful, my mistake was I lend this book to our HR 😅. We barely talk now after a date.
Thank you for posting this.
Ive been searching for this for a long time its a great book :)

Law 49:Always mind your own business
its true because if u dont mind your on bussiness others mind will be on your bussiness
Laws #50, consider sucking the boss given the situation..
"A soldier prays for peace, but prepares for war"
This is the best I have ever watched on UA-cam
This is how you destroy trust and tear down the fabric of your society.
Johnson Kids the same society thats been doing this to us you mean?
.
Actually, this is the foundation of Society. Socialists exploit these laws expertly.
Maybe one day two wrongs will equal a right under the right circumstance perhaps. still it's good to see how that sort thinks.
Good
I've lived through most of this and continue to do so. These hacks are actually what come to you as you get older. If you can master some in relative youth? Even better but that's often a rare combination.
This is also why you also need a bit of relative solitude. Time away from the noise. To think and plot.
Only other observation is that there doesn't always have to be an enemy. Its interesting to have one to practice on perhaps but modern life doesn't necessarily lend itself to adversarial contact in the more obvious way. Often because your circle may not be full of competitive people.
One other massively important aspect is emotional control. Never let it be obvious what you are thinking or feeling. Whilst also being able to deploy a vanilla demeanor. Always mentally prepare for how you might withstand bad news. You mother/father/child died. All likely or possible outcomes. Will it totally shred your emotional being? You need to build reserves of strength for when bad news comes as it invariably will.
The journey continues.
This is excellent information. This answered questions about myself especially dealing with other. #WOW
Thanks I needed this i didn't get into this art school in Germany im going to run for president now

I'm so glad I come across Robert Greene's book.. thank you! I have problems going over my emotion and how to handle myself at any aspects of life.
pretty sure all my ex's have read this book -__-
Lmao
Thanks love from sierraleone 🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱 great leson
I read this book back in the day and it definitely helped me understand things better.
It's disgusting is what it is. How you get murdered being a POS like this
Same here
This book changed my life
With the 48 th being the whole laws combined. Thanks for letting me know what I already did.
I read this book yesterday, and it was only yesterday that I found out. When I read this book, after 21 years of reading anyone's book, I went and laid down on the bed. Couldn't get away from me. This book shattered my hope of success 100%. I couldn't control my crying for 37 hours. How and why would someone do this to someone? My life has been 98% wrong, according to this book. This may be why I have not been successful. My heart cried, but there was no change in my courage and enthusiasm. When I go on the internet and read everyone's comments, my soul sends love and blessings to all of you. May God give you all happiness and peace. I love you all very much, and thanks to the internet, I can send love to you all.

You've made this video really helpful
Law 47 - Conor McGregor was so overconfident he believed he could beat the greatest boxer of recent times . Along the way he gained a lot of hate from both the boxing and mma community.
He knew he didn't have a chance but he didn't have anything to lose. He didn't fight at his sport so he would still have his reputation intact and he would get paid more than in a regular mma fight.
He made a 100 mill off it
But, the POWER side is, Connor gained more Money than he can spend. Money is Power in America...So, it's a Win Win..lose jealous friends, and gain plenty Money and blessings! Connor made smart moves these last few years. The Mask is Working all the Way UP! Everybody pays to see a Billy bad ass lose....
Funny how you feel about how much you want to spend on the time of day that works
😲😲Nice summary. Thanks!👌🏽👌🏽
Best book around. 💯
I am not suprised to see it's one of my kind who made this video
1 Law to rule them all: Be kind.
Thanks....these words worth more than silver and gold ...wisdom is a gift
This is call laws of power. This is what the Powerful do. No Holds Barge
This is pretty good ! I was just thinking, I've been moving like this for years!
Wow. A guy asked me had I read this book and i said no. He said he swears im lying, it's impossible as I exhibit all of these while at work. As I go thru this list,I use every single one of these.
No way!. Unless you work as the devil's assistance. Every single one??
@@KingThabiso sit down and examine yourself.from head to toe. From when you first started to where you are now. Go thru this list and ask yourself " have i done this"? I'm 27, I have a GED. yet I'm one step below the owner at a small Tobacco company. No diploma, no trade, and not to mention, African American (its only 2 of us here).It took some dirt to get here. All dirt? No.... a lot? Oh yes. Am I proud, eh.... do I sleep good at night? Yes...
Robert Green does not have an original idea or analysis in his books.
But he is one of the best COMPILERS, SUMMARIZERS and PARAPHRASERS
of great books by great writers.
In my favorites. Cut off all the fake people around me. Playing this on repeat. Journey to success. Good luck to everyone grinding
A wise man once said anything in the right hands can become a weapon
I love this audiobook so much that I listen to it repeatedly to absorb it until it's part of my DNA...lol😂. Kidding aside, things I liked,
- NEW PARADIGM
after listening the 48 laws, you will never see the world the same way again. once you understand some of these laws you will see many underlying currents and motives you did not see before.
- INCREASES POWER
you wil become exponentially more powerfull by knowing and understanding these laws
-CRYSTAL CLEAR
every law is clearly outlined with "transgression" of the law, "observance" of the law, keys to power, and a "reversal"
-GREAT STORIES
the 48 laws are packed with mindblowing and sometimes humorous stories of people in history practicing these laws. this is helpful as some of the concepts are quite abstract.
WARNING:
-RISKY (if you're not careful)
an old proverb says " A man who plays with snakes will eventually be bitten". If you begin to use the 48 Laws improperly, you could get yourself in some dangerous situations, lose friends, piss off a lot a people, and destroy relationships
- REQUIRES DISCERNMENT
if you you are looking for a highly concrete book that the says "do abc and you will accomplish xyz" look elsewhere. the Laws require good judgement and and and prospecting nature to practice and apply
-NOT FOR EVERYONE
If you are aghast at the idea of manipulation and deceit then read with caution.
OVERALL: If you want to have more power or a better understanding of why different situations turn out the the way they do, you should definitely read the 48 laws of power by Robert Greene.
Some reviews labeling Robert Greene as evil don't understand.
First, to understand the 48 laws of power, you must know two key ideas
1. you CAN NOT escape the power game. thinking you can "not participate" is as foolish as thinking that you could somehow escape gravity or make the sun stand still. Robert Greene explains why in the intro with some excellent examples
2. the 48 laws of power are neither good nor evil; they are just LAWS. If someone pushed a man off a cliff would you blame gravity for for his demise? This is the mindset you must adopt in order to learn a lot from this book.
Robert Greene gave me my "3rd eye" and I am very grateful. To show my gratefulness, I bought 4 Books Set By Robert Greene .The Concise Laws of Human Nature, The Concise Mastery, The Concise 48 Laws Of Power & The Concise Art of Seduction for only $41 at Amazon. I can't wait to read it. The brilliance of Robert Greene reminds me of Jordan Peterson.
Law # 47....Know When to Stop, Don't Go Past Your Goals.....SELAH
I come back frequently to memorize all the laws again for training. One of the most important books I ever read. Best from Germany
Law number 49:
Always treat your boss as an enemy.
But if you think about it, Robert is telling us what not to do, and only people with good intentions realize that.
Dude read Machiavelli & Art of War and came up with deceiving and killing everyone
God loves you as you are, remember that.
I'm so happy I came across this book in grade ten. I was able to use these laws subconsciously throughout school and work. but in honest opinion I came across the prince first. so been using these laws that are and should be common, cause I always thought it was so stupid how I was able to get into people heads, so now 22 I been teaching my friends to use these tricks. do to my youth no one suspects anything for now. but tactics grow stale.
