      This is 100% teaching people (as in diligently rereading this book at bare minimum 5x. And you have to actually have lived life else you'll come to this conclusion). I wouldn't expect you to know anymore because you haven't read the preface yet. This is kindergarten type shxt. Think before you speak out on something you don't understand.
      I do understand if you choose not to respond. It's the internet go ahead. So others can learn how inept and lazy you are.

      @@mrmalio bro people are almost always the opposite of how they appear. Be afraid of the man preaching morality in an excessive way. We unconsciously create a total contrast to hide our worst traits. But don't rely on this. Test them, lay traps, divulge false info to see if they try to strong arm you with it, manipulate your face to show insecurity as they probe let them hit your strengths and oh so subtly show insecurity. Vise versa. Micro expressions are extremely powerful. Just show up and surprise them one day, those 2 seconds capture that look. That's how they feel about you. Furthermore play dumb, soothing thier ego, ask advice and report back stellar results. It all depends on your goal. But tough dudes are often cowards and the quite skinny type are admitted no contrast. But my goal is just to save time mostly. Avoid enemies. Keep gaining resources allies and power while politely maneuvering around these individuals. When one does get in the way, and they will you can well... depending on your morals and prior dilligence. But yes people present the opposite front as a coping and fear mechanism. Survival. They've seen thier true self can't be displayed. Keep reading ask away if you find anything helpful.

    A lot of people dismiss 48 as a book for psychopaths, but my impression is that book's intention is actually to teach one how to protect themself from the psychopaths.
    For example, "Don't outshine the master" forshadowed the quiet quitting movement. When you go abkve and beyond, all your boss (the master) is going to do 99.9% of the time is give you more work and exploit you.

      If they do that then ask for a higher pay and if they don’t comply then threaten to quit. The boss won’t let you do that as you have just proven do be a valuable asset that does more work than the average employee which means that to replace you they would need at least two new average employees whose combined salaries will surpass yours which is a loss to the business or one skilled employee who is harder to find (and in that time spent searching the company will fall behind quite a bit as a result of losing not just any employee but their best employee)plus the skilled employee will likely also ask for a raise so the company’s best option is to keep you with an increased salary as opposed to waste time finding a skilled employee. If you are wondering why the boss can’t just equally divide your work over the employees after you leave and not give them a raise since they aren’t really doing that much more work, it is because not all employees can handle even the slightest increase in work since there are a lot of them who struggle to even finish their regular work so this added work could cause a rebellion against the boss which he wouldn’t be able to handle. If the boss just decides to let you leave then you should go to a place where your extra skills are compensated nicely and you can use your previous job as evidence that your skills are so useful that the boss was considering you their best employee and giving you the most work (you appeal to the company’s interests by bringing up your past experiences and and implying you could do the same here which they are sure to love). If that fails then you can just start over as an average worker at another place and learn from your mistake.

    The flip side of "taking credit for other people's work", is to point out to people when others are taking credit for their work. So you can remain the one with the moral high ground, but be able to take credit from the work of taking credit for other people's work. So you allow your opponent to hang himself with his own rope. Be the good guy at all possible, it will payoff more in the long-term and you will achieve just as much, but with more inner peace and less enemies who are also good or innocent people. Let the bad people be your enemies, because they usually do not maintain power long.

    I've only listened for a few minutes, and it seems that the advice given are quite sociopathic. Sure, it can work if you master them, but probably not as an enduring strategy. It it better to build trust, authenticity and perform highly in a consistent manner. These are rare qualities and will stand out in the long run. Be aware not to be exploited without a fair return, in the long run. If you are a high performer, your power lies in the possibility to deny, withdraw a bit or even exit.

      There are laws which talk about being irreplaceable as well as laws about being mysterious and "formless." I think it is very context based and this video doesn't give much of any context beyond old historical examples, some of which do not sit well with our modern sensibilities. For instance the idea of "destroying someone completely," does seem rather socio/psychopathic to me and the opposite of how I'd ever want to behave. But then you have to remember humanity's brutal history is full of these psychopaths and sometimes the least painful solution was to find them out and remove the threat as much as possible. This does not always mean death, but exile and shame can turn the stomach as well.
      Some people are closer to beasts, but this does not make them evil to me- motivations and- most important- actions define them.

      I like this one: "Keep your hands clean by hiding your mistakes, and when necessary, use a scapegoat to deflect blame. Maintain a pristine reputation."
      And...
      "Discover each person's weaknesses or "thumb screw" by observing and listening. Exploit weaknesses to your advantage."

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:00 📚 "48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene offers insights into the dynamics of power, influence, and manipulation.
    00:29 🤔 Reading the book helps readers understand how power works and how to use it ethically for personal benefit.
    00:40 🚫 Law 1: Never outperform the master; avoid showing off skills to superiors as it may threaten them.
    01:08 ⚠️ Attempting to replace a boss is risky; it's essential to maintain their confidence and security.
    02:03 👥 Law 2: Be cautious about trusting friends; former enemies can be more loyal, and hiring friends may not be the best choice.
    03:29 🤐 Law 3: Hide your intentions; keeping your true goals secret prevents others from preparing defenses against you.
    04:25 🤐 Law 4: Always say less than you could; speaking sparingly can make you appear more powerful and mysterious.
    05:37 🛡️ Law 5: Guard your reputation; a strong reputation can help persuade and influence others.
    07:04 💥 Law 6: Always attract attention; standing out is more valuable than being ignored, even if it means being controversial.
    08:12 🙌 Law 7: Take credit for others' work; claiming credit can make you appear more productive and efficient.
    09:09 🎣 Law 8: Have other people come to you; making others approach you gives you control and keeps you on the offensive.
    10:18 🤝 Law 9: Win through your actions, not arguments; actions speak louder than words, and proof is better than argument.
    11:13 😊 Law 10: Avoid unhappy and unlucky people; negativity can affect you, so surround yourself with positive influences.
    12:24 🤝 Law 11: Make people depend on you; when others rely on you, you gain freedom and influence.
    13:48 🎁 Law 12: Be selective with your honesty and generosity; use kindness and honesty strategically to disarm others.
    15:12 💼 Law 13: When asking for help, appeal to the person's self-interest; understand what motivates them and align your request with their goals.
    16:21 🕵️ Law 14: Disguise as a friend, work as a spy; gather information discreetly to gain an advantage in relationships and competition.
    17:48 ⚔️ Law 15: Completely destroy your enemy; don't leave room for them to retaliate; ensure your victory is decisive.
    19:10 👥 Law 16: Gain respect and honor with your absence; strategically stepping away from a group can enhance your reputation and influence
    19:40 🤯 If your partner starts taking you for granted, spending some time apart can make them miss you and appreciate you more.
    20:06 💡 To stand out and be unique, create suspense, and be unpredictable. People tend to gravitate towards what they understand and like, so being unpredictable can give you an edge.
    21:17 🌟 When at a disadvantage, being hard to predict can be a winning strategy. It confuses opponents, creates room to maneuver, and can lead them to make mistakes.
    22:25 🚫 While it may be tempting to isolate yourself when you feel threatened, it's often better to stay connected with others to maintain power and awareness.
    23:34 🤝 Be cautious in your dealings with others, as different individuals react differently to how they are treated. Avoid offending the wrong person and assess who you're dealing with.
    25:40 💪 Don't take sides in arguments. By remaining neutral and not making promises to others, you can position yourself as a desirable leader who can mediate conflicts.
    26:38 🙌 Cultivate a following by giving people something to believe in and fight for. Exploit their desire to belong and have a purpose to gain power and influence.
    28:18 🕊️ When facing aggression, consider yielding instead of escalating. Yielding can confuse your opponent and give you time to strategize for a better outcome.
    29:14 🎯 Concentrate your efforts on your most important goals to avoid distractions and increase your chances of success.
    30:24 🎭 In power dynamics, it's essential to master the art of being a courtier, understanding and manipulating the rules to your advantage.
    32:44 🎭 To maintain your image and reputation, act with professionalism, avoid making excuses, and always be prepared with a scapegoat to take the blame if needed.
    33:55 🎭 Shape and recreate your identity to fit your current situation and gain control over your power and reputation.
    35:03 🌟 Keep your hands clean by hiding your mistakes, and when necessary, use a scapegoat to deflect blame. Maintain a pristine reputation.
    36:17 🌐 Capitalize on people's desire to belong and have a purpose. Create a cult-like following by offering something to believe in and making them feel special.
    37:27 🦁 Embrace boldness and avoid indecision. Courage and assertiveness can help you gain power and respect, while hesitation can make you appear weak.
    39:22 📅 Plan meticulously for the end result, thinking ahead and covering all details to ensure your hard work pays off and your goals are achieved
    39:36 🤔 Plan for the future with a long-term view and consider possible risks to avoid going wrong. Your power often comes from what you don't do.
    40:33 🧙‍♂️ Make your accomplishments appear effortless and easy. People respect those who can make the impossible look easy.
    41:44 🪄 Create compelling spectacles and visuals to impress and rally people. Visuals are more memorable than words.
    45:13 🕵️ Discover each person's weaknesses or "thumb screw" by observing and listening. Exploit weaknesses to your advantage.
    49:37 😎 Don't follow your great predecessors blindly; establish your uniqueness and carve your own path.
    53:21 🚫 Eliminate disruptive individuals who cause trouble within a group to maintain harmony and achieve your goals.
    57:35 💔 Use emotions and psychological techniques to win people's hearts and cooperation instead of resorting to intimidation.
    59:16 🪞 Employ the mirror effect to disarm and distract opponents. Copy their actions or words to deceive and gain an advantage.
    01:00:26 🔄 When implementing change, avoid making too many sudden or chaotic adjustments, as it can lead to resistance and rebellion. People prefer familiar routines.
    01:01:08 😌 To make change more appealing, employ a comforting deception. Preach change while maintaining the appearance of familiar traditions and institutions.
    01:01:34 😎 Avoid appearing too perfect, as it can generate envy and silent enemies. Occasionally admitting harmless vices can make you seem more friendly and relatable.
    01:02:48 🛑 After achieving success, resist the temptation to overextend. Stop when you've reached your goal to maintain control and prevent unnecessary risks.
    01:04:12 🌊 Adopt formlessness as a strategy to remain adaptable and unpredictable. Avoid rigid systems and embrace flexibility to confound opponents.

    Pretty amazing how relevant this is to most corporate work environments. My buddy and I always called it the “psyop” but this is insanely relevant. It’s absolutely disgusting behavior but valuable information. I’ve had my reputation attacked for the last 3 years because I’m overqualified and have stayed out of the work social circle at all costs after watching these people eat themselves. After time it is more apparent to me that the easiest target is the one who is the not in the room at the time.
