I just ordered, "The 48 Laws of Power"

[slitherjef]

I keep hearing about this book mentioned here and had a bit of spare cash and was ordering something else anyway so I dropped it in the cart. Guess I wanted to see what the book is all about. :yes:

Good choice.

Everyone who wants more power in their life and over the lives of other's in their life gets this book.

 

[BlackJackal]

It's a good read man trust me.

I have yet to read the book, but I've listened to the audio version on the way to and from work. Just listening has helped. I have the book, I just need the time to sit down and read it.

Going to read that as well, I also heard "The Tipping Point" is a great read in the same genre.

 

[backbreaker]

i read at least a book a week now. It's like masterbation. once you start you don't see how you ever went without it

 

[wolf116]

There is also a short 100page version for rereading, I think would be great to get if you liked the book.

I'm in the middle of reading "The Art of Seduction" by the same author. It's an excellent read, and I will likely read 48 Laws as well.

 

[KontrollerX]

Yeah "self help rubbish" that some of the most violent prison gang members read religiously to get an edge on the other gang's in the joint.

And not just prison gang members read it for an advantage but CEO's of large and powerful corporations read it as well for similar reasons.

 

[dnats]

This book is horse **** as well.

READ IT! your perception will change.. you'll see between the lines and words of every interaction.

 

[KontrollerX]

Yeah dnats and that other guy are trolls full of sh!t.

Art of Seduction and 48 Laws of Power should be required reading for every member of this site.

Good post btw Qdogg.

 

[romangod]

Yeah dnats and that other guy are trolls full of sh!t.

No way! He's the King and we're all peasants. I know so because he said so.




Cheers!

Dont sleep on the 33 Strategies of War either. Thats also a good read.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Yeah, it's BS, don't read it.

Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions
Keep people off-balance and in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind your actions. If they have no clue what you are up to, they cannot prepare a defense. Guide them far enough down the wrong path, envelop them in enough smoke, and by the time they realize your intentions, it will be too late.

I read 48 Laws and while it didnt really do anything for me personally, I still found it a really fun read and something I'd like to check out again. I'm assuming the other 2 are written in the same style?

 

[Falcon]

I have this book too, and although there are some good points, I can't stand the paranoid tone the author wrote it in... sounds like a psycho.

 

[slitherjef]

Came in last week, just need to find time to start reading it

 

[hyphy101]

I personally recommend reading "The Prince" by Machiavelli.
Its quite similar and is a great read, and is still quite applicable today.
Especially the chapter on how to annex ecclesiastical principalities!
