The Concise 48 Laws Of Power (The Modern Machiavellian Robert Greene)

Product Information

Law 9: Win Through Your Actions, Never Through Argument: Demonstrate your point rather than arguing. Arguing rarely changes anyone’s mind, but people believe what they see. They’re also less likely to be offended. Law 28: Absolutely. Believe in yourself, fight for yourself, and come out swinging against any odds.

Two, Law 37 is farcical, it almost destroyed the book. "Stage spectacles for those around you, then, full of arresting visuals and radiant symbols." Basically, what it wants you to do is do anything with fireworks, confetti, et cetera, just to "heighten your presence." If you are committed to understanding the human condition and pushing our socio-evolution to higher and higher levels of mutuality, collaboration, and "peace on earth, good will toward" one another, this book is either comedy, parody, or pathetic. Maybe the author has his tongue in his cheek like Rush Limbaugh who makes bazillions whipping the ignorant into a frenzy. I find that annoying. I find this book annoying. By generating grand, spectacular gestures, you will heighten your presence and your power. People will be too dazzled by appearances to uncover what you’re really up to. As opposed to using words, visual gestures contain an emotive power and immediacy that leave no room for doubt. Where words divide, images unite. Use this to your advantage. 38. Think as You Like, but Behave Like OthersSome skills are born with us, some are learned. this book is an eye opening to what goes around us and how people with certain skills get what they want. To do this, you must first be self-aware, and you must learn to master your emotions. Then, you must create a memorable character. From here, you can learn to play many roles to adapt to what any given situation requires of you. However, remember that overacting can be counterproductive. 26. Keep Your Hands Clean The book usually uses the term "enemies", which makes you think that it's written for war purposes. well, it can be used for everything. depending on how ruthless you want to deal with the people around you. Perfect for a trivia night or a long trip, #TrainTeasers will both test your knowledge of this country`s rail system and enlighten you on the most colourful aspects of its long history. Meet trunk murderers, trainspotters, haters of railways, railway writers, Ministers for Transport good and bad, railway cats, dogs and a railway penguin. This is NOT a book for number-crunching nerds. Many of the answers are guessable by the intelligent reader. It is a quiz, yes, but also a cavalcade of historical incident and colour relating to a system that was the making of modern Britain.

A single honest gesture can help cover the traces of dozens of dishonest acts. By being generous, you can disarm even the most suspicious people. Once they are disarmed, you can manipulate them at will. The key to successful deception is distraction. An act of generosity distracts those you wish to deceive while turning them into docile children, delighted by the affectionate gesture.

Greene asserts that whether you like it or not, you’re part of a never-ending game of power. You’re either striving for and wielding power, or you’re a pawn being played by someone more powerful than you. You choose your role. Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions: Always hide your true intentions. Create a smokescreen. If you keep people off-balance and in the dark, they can’t counter your efforts.

Law 17: Variety is the spice of life. Take risks, move fast, and don’t think about things like keeping others in suspended terror. People will just be excited to go on the ride with you.

If you do not keep an open mind about the contents of this book, it will come across as selfish, brutal and d What came first always seems more original than what follows. Don’t get lost in the shadows of those that came before you. You must establish your own name and identity by not following the same course of your predecessors. 42. Strike the Shepherd, and the Sheep Will ScatterLaw 13. When Asking for Help, Appeal to the Self-interests of Others, Never to Their Mercy or Gratitude The impression that this book would leave upon a reader is highly subjective, based on whether you take it literally and condemn it for being ruthless, or you use it as a tool to understand the cruel people around you and safeguard yourself from getting crushed in their journey of success. Law 3: Keep your intentions pure and for the good of the world. You will radiate more power than being shady. By mirroring your opponents and doing exactly as they do, you humiliate them and cause them to overreact. By making them believe you share their values, they find it challenging to work out your strategy, as they are blinded by your mirror. You are also able to teach your opponents a lesson by giving them a taste of their own medicine. 45. Preach the Need for Change, but Never Reform Too Much at Once

However, don’t rely on your instincts to get an understanding of a person, and never trust appearances. Watch your target over a long period of time to get a truer picture of their nature. Law 20. Don’t Commit to Anyone The more present you are, the more common you appear. Create an air of scarcity around yourself to increase your perceived value. If you currently exist within an established group, intermittently withdraw so that others talk about you and admire you more.
