NATIONAL BESTSELLER THE 48 LAWS OF D ROBERT GREENE.

INTRODUCTION. Robert Greene is a Born on 14-05-1959 in New York. Education: University of California, Berkeley, University of Wisconsin–Madison. The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene is a strategic guide to understanding and mastering power dynamics, presenting history's most effective (and often ruthless) tactics for gaining, maintaining, and defending power, arguing that life is a game where everyone plays, whether they realize it or not, and it's better to learn the rules to avoid being victimized by others who know them. It's a book of amoral, historical principles (like "Never Outshine the Master" or "Crush Your Enemy Totally") designed for both offensive and defensive strategies, encouraging readers to adopt a "radical realism" about human nature and power..

The 48 Laws of Power: An Overview. No one likes being powerless, yet we don’t take well to power-hungry people due to our modern ideologies of fairness, equity etc. It’s important to realize that power is amoral—it’s neither good nor evil. You can choose how to use power once you have it, but it’d be foolish to dismiss power as bad or unimportant. In fact, there’s much that we can learn from the masterful scheming of the aristocratic courts of the past—those who can subtly charm, deceive and manipulate without others’ awareness can rise to power without others’ resentment or resistance..

Which are the 48 Laws Power?. We’ll now introduce the 48 laws of power, and take a more detailed look at 4 of them. Do get more details on the remaining laws of power in our full version of The 48 Laws of Power summary..

LAWS. LAW 1: NEVER OUTSHINE THE MASTER:- In your quest to impress the people above you, don’t flaunt your talents too much. If your superiors feel insecure, they’ll find ways to replace you. Even if you’re currently in favor, don’t take it for granted as you can easily fall out of favor with the wrong moves. LAW 2: DON’T OVERTRUST YOUR FRIENDS. USE YOUR ENEMIES:- Don’t hire your friends for familiarity or as a favor. Friends are more likely to envy and betray you and also limit your power since it’s harder to keep a professional distance. LAW 3: MASK YOUR INTENTIONS:- Many people are open books: they can’t control what they say or they mistakenly believe that honesty can win hearts. It’s better to retain the upper hand by hiding your goal till you’re ready to strike. LAW 4: ALWAYS SAY LESS THAN NECESSARY. The more you say, the less impressive and in-control you seem to be and the higher the chance that you’d say something foolish. Powerful people tend to say little..
