I always noticed that the bosses best friend at work is always someone quiet, who seems completely boring. Now I think they are the eyes and ears for the boss.

I understand and utilize power games at times. My goal is not to obtain power but to decouple myself from people who pursue power and to be left the fuck alone. I don’t want to pull strings, and I don’t want strings attached to me.

Law 7 and 26 - take credit for other's work. I see this all the time, the loud manager/executive demands work faster, take unnecessary risk, yells a lot, reduces staff resources to save money then takes credit for getting the major task done. If the decisions of the manager/executive causes unacceptable consequences, the workers are blamed

"Seeking power is like drinking sea water... The more you drink, the thirstier you get". This is at least good to know as a reference for wisdom.

1. Never outshine the master. 2. Never put too much trust in friends, learn how to use enemies. 3. Conceal your intentions. 4. Always say less than necessary. 5. So much depends on reputation - guard it with your life. 6. Court attention at all costs. 7. Get others to do the work for you, but always take the credit. 8. Make other people come to you - use bait if necessary. 9. Win through your actions, never through argument. 10. Infection: avoid the unhappy and unlucky. 11. Learn to keep people dependent on you. 12. Use selective honesty and generosity to disarm your victim. 13. When asking for help, appeal to self-interest, never to their mercy or gratitude. 14. Pose as a friend, work as a spy. 15. Crush your enemy totally. 16. Use absence to increase respect and honour. 17. Keep others in suspended terror: Cultivate an air of unpredictability. 18. Do not build fortresses to protect yourself - isolation is dangerous. 19. Know who you’re dealing with - do not offend the wrong person. 20. Do not commit to anyone. 21. Play a sucker to catch a sucker - seem dumber than your mark. 22. Use the surrender tactic: Transform weakness into power. 23. Concentrate your forces. 24. Play the perfect courtier. 25. Re-create yourself. 26. Keep your hands clean. 27. Play on people’s need to create a cult-like following. 28. Enter action with boldness. 29. Plan all the way to the end. 30. Make your accomplishments seem effortless. 31. Control the options: Get others to play with the cards you deal. 32. Play to people’s fantasies. 33. Discover each man’s thumbscrew. 34. Be royal in your own fashion: Act like a king to be treated like one. 35. Master the art of timing. 36. Disdain things you cannot have: Ignoring them is the best revenge. 37. Create compelling spectacles. 38. Think as you like, but behave like others. 39. Stir up waters to catch fish. 40. Despise the free lunch. 41. Avoid stepping into a great man’s shoes. 42. Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter. 43. Work on the hearts and minds of others. 44. Disarm and infuriate with the mirror effect. 45. Preach the need for change, but never reform too much at once. 46. Never appear too perfect. 47. Do not go past the mark you aimed for; in victory, learn when to stop. 48. Assume formlessness

If you base your whole personality on just these rules then you’ll be like an empty vessel that’s achieved power. You have to mix these with the book of five ring, and know when to turn these on and off. That way you can still be a good person that has skills that you can use at any given moment

This explains why sociopaths and psychopaths tend to become "successful". The path to power (at least this path) would naturally draw manipulators. Very interesting info, thank you for this channel!

I love the brilliant perspective on content like this! This is so creative I am ashamed that despite having the book I have never thought of any of your summaries...finally a commentary that is actually a commentary not just an audiobook😂

Wow. These points are amazing. They are illustrations of a complete Narcissist. It’s perfect material for an antagonist character I’m trying to write.

Some of these are for you to do, some to recognize when others are doing them

This is insane😭 but also very useful to know what to watch out for and never be manipulated

Hardly laws. Just the obvious things you can do if you don't mind being a psychopathic monster. Most of us aren't monsters by default, but most of us are controlled by them.

Thanks for the information

I love how u guys presented the entire book of the 48 laws💛💛

If this is what it takes to be powerful I'd rather be humble. Thanks.

Love this, great summary! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻👏🏻

"48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene is an intriguing exploration of timeless strategies for success. Greene delves into history and human behavior, presenting thought-provoking principles that offer insight into power dynamics. While some find the book's content controversial, it undeniably sparks critical thinking about influence and decision-making. A must-read for those interested in the intricate web of power and manipulation throughout history.

I find it so hard to do some of these. They seem morally wrong.

I’m a menager in a large construction company and I despise many of the qualities listed here. I can easily pin point many situations where they were clearly presented and honestly most of them just bring out the foolishness of the people thinking that behavior like this will get them anywhere in the company.

Nice review 👍🏻

Great book!!! Help me see life from a different perspective. Thank you for sharing.

Good information on how to spot swindlers and grifters. Basically, just the pains in the butt . This heads up just reinforces the concept of trusting your gut instincts.

This isn't about being dangerous. It's about being competent.

Law 22 is my favorite a lot of niggas want to be rebilous but like you not in position to do that u need to know how surrender temporarily in order to survive. Have a plan to escape but leaving without a plan is stupid

Great share! Subscribed!

Perfect book. Robin Greet is a real influencers people all around the world!

I have theories about those who seek power for power's sake. They are usually vapid, soulless entities preying on societies' more noble ideals. If anything, understanding and identifying these empty individuals helps one become stronger in the inevitable confrontations that will ensue. True power comes from within, as it always has. Relying on the subjugation of others through external devices or circumstances just has people questioning your motives. People gravitate to those who possess inner strength. Most of these rules are truly cynical in practice and theory and anyone with a conscience should be apprehensive of anyone using them...

My phone is screwed gotta get it fixed as soon as I get it back I'll be back in business this loaner one sucks hope your having a blissful day so far!!!

This is actually very good...

You get what you ask for. Power isn’t as great as it looks like from the outside. If it all goes to shit, they only have one person to point to. Everyone secretly hates your guts. Long hours. Stress. Backstabbers. Lazy employees. Lawsuits. Up and comers looking at your chair. Make sure you know what you’re getting into because these things are tough to get out of once you’ve achieved it. It’s not like you can just take a week off anytime you want.

Amazing points.

The 48 rules to being what everyone hates, a corrupt politician

Great Summary 🎉 Do you monetized your channel?

Excellent video 👏👏👏

Taking credit for other peoples work is a horrible lesson, which unless you want to learn what lack of integrity looks like, go right ahead.

Some of these are indeed sociopathic. I think the point is to enjoy the intrigue of ideas that are so amoral they're almost satirical and employ what makes sense to you and works for you in certain situations. I think most of us can agree that unfortunately some games must be played or we ourselves will be played. And that's just real life. This world is most dangerous and hurtful to those trying to be too altruistic and those who aren't observant, strategic, and emotionally intelligent.

Rule number 21 play a sucker to catch a sucker

Interesting take...🤔

These set of power games is something we’re all implementing in some way or another. Consciously or unconsciously. The narcissist, the psychopath are experts on employing these techniques. Hence, Henry Kissinger was used as a prime example. The evil ways on how this world operates requires us to understand and learn the rules. The trick is not to lose ourselves in the process. This obviously isn’t for everyone. Most of us just don’t want to play into this exhausting bullcrap just to be able to afford a nice lifestyle. As a sigma female I take pleasure in understanding the power plays. 🙂

I have this. I suggest to get the bigger book instead of the concise one.

The Zeroth Rule of Power: abandon all quests for power and focus on the origin, realize the self and free your self from these 48 thought prisons

Good

Because of weasel law 7 I'm out because identity thieves are beneath me I will take a different road than these laws

🔥🔥🔥🔥

The video maker changed the names of the laws a bit, and I would not have done that. Overall, though, a fine video.

So basically, fake it til u make it, keep your enemies closer than your friends, play dumb, take everyone else’s credit while pretending to be the good guy, So long as you manipulate everyone and yourself, you can suck enough power to have it all. Hmm…I haven’t needed any of these rules to get what I needed in my life. What’s wrong with todays world this is the way ppl are suggesting to succeed. Smh

everything is working to my advantage, 🌎🌍🌏 everything works for my highest good, something wonderful is happening to me, something amazing is happening to me i know everything has a reason, and I am here to learn, universe supports me through every situation, i am protected and safe something wonderful is happening to me, everything is wonderful, everything has a good reason, i am here to learn, i trust that the end will be fine

Do the opposite against your nature when you alone.

Thank god im not power hungry lol

Most important one is always say less than necessary like the video maker

now, those though evil people was just applying this book's values 😂

i was one of the most dangerous people during 2021. eventually, they had to keep me isolated.

Law 49, Know when to turn these on and off.

No wonder this world is the way it is.

If I come across this sort of person in real life we would end up falling out . This is not the way to act in society ❤

Do not just apply these so called laws into your life and your work. Look at the situation you are in and determine which one works best without hurting too much souls. Some of these laws are downright traitorous and people may remember and avenge. I think rule 49 should be "People are not stupid" that they can recognize any of these mannouvers and deem you untrustworthy.

All that goes out the door after you get cracked for thinking you can get away with anything,

I believe that it's a shame that a person has to manipulate just yo get through life

This style of drawings makes me extremely discomfort strangely. Used to watch such videos, but this one is about to listen like a podcast.

What is the name of the app you used?

Who was the Texas Rancher?

Ligmas power is unmatched. Su condees dont play by the rules

Lol i love to violate law #1 hahaha Bosses are human that often make mistakes and I'm a broke person that work hard to be right. The temptation of out shiny them is always there and I just can't help it, I been fire for it. But I know I have to do better. If I stop this... who knows what will happen...

Power is power.

I did all this and still got cancelled and fired🤣 now I move pianos.

Theses tips are all fun until it catches unto peopel practicing them and other people (victims) see through your game and you have to pay the consequence with accountability.

Not a fan of number 6 or 7. Hard pass on both. Thanks for the video.

#7?! Why would I do this ?

I already am 😅

It seems like all of these would crush your reputation once you've burned and betrayed enough people. Lol. But maintain that reputation American Psycho!

Cut this down to 7 to 12 steps .

I hae it so much 😂😂😂

Rules of the MATRIX 😮 This is WHY, the meek will inherit the earth 🌍...

I already am the most dangerous person

I feel exhausted and insecure It's like I am all the time in a war ,there are undoubtedly some important laws here but I 'd rather leave it to Allah to plan for me

Law 2 is true

You need to be a very much unloved child to grow up this way. Psychologically normal people would pay a high price if they play by, even few, of these rules. Rather build your own business, and focus on growing it; it will pay back much more than these pathetic rules, which are fundamentally, made for the weak. And remember all your life: you need to be loved... 😊

The books are banned from schools and prisons. Just thinking there may be something to ponder in that.

คนที่อันตรายใครรู้ทันผู้นั้นเป็นผู้มีญาณทิพย์และสัมผัสวิเศษ❤🎉

Very interesting …no need the cartoon it is bothering cannot watch till the end…

I love how this goes from ya hes right to kinda evil but i kind of get it, this worlds humans isnt all rainbows and sunshine. I feel like you should use this on shitty people, but i cant do this to good people.

I do a lot of these already, you can see right thru the fake people !!

This sounds more like the guide book to begin a scumbag.

Frankie!?

This only works of the boss is an idiot or sociopath. Also if the boss is he will look out for the dirtbag until he needs to actually show a product /prove work is being done. Then they're screwed

this whole thing needs turning on its head. like 40...send gifts back to sender...then you owe them nothing.

I was loving your post, nonetheless when you use Queen Elizabeth and Columbus as role models for this chart I do not like it because they do not represent only power, they represent colonization and oppression. They are not role models and they do represent a power that is not to be followed. The other points of your chart are inspiring and informative thank you. I hope you will consider and think about my comment.

Art of war in today interpretation

Best summary video on KZfaq

The writer is still alive and not the most powerfull man on the world by a longshot. Just saying.

Allowed peoples to manipulate your honesty 😮

He that would perfect himself in any art whatsoever, let him betake himself to the reading of some sure and certain work upon his art many times over; for to read many books upon your art produceth confusion rather than learning.

Im doing everything completely opposite of this…

Some of these seem a tad unethical.

Not always moral, your laws! Note what Edison did to Tesla. Sounds like Narcissism to me!

No,chance

เรื่องเหล่านี้ฟังเมื่อไหร่ก็ขอบอกว่าใช่เลยค่ะ🎉😮

ควรนำเรื่องเหล่านี้ไปสอนพระที่วัดที่มีพระเณรบวชใหม่เพื่อตะได้หลักการใช้ชีวิตอยู่ต่อไปอย่างปลอดภัยค่ะได้☮️อย่างเต็ม💯เพราะเป็นเรื่องสร้างสรรค์จริงไปส่งไปโรงเรียนและวัดสถานการสื่อให้คนเข้าใจการใช้ชีวิตได้ดีด้วยอย่างทั่วถึงทั่วโลกทั่วจักรวาลไปเลย😮🎉
