Is there anyone who has read 48 laws of power by Robert Greene.
I bought it a few days ago
That book is the bomb.
But there is a problem i'm facing wit this book, everyone who sees it wit me tell me it's full of hard rules that can destroy or modify your life in a negative way.
They further said the rules worked for pple like Hitler, Idi amin and such ruthless leaders.
Can someone advice me on this book.

most people practice the 3^rd law, knowingly or unknowingly. beware! they will use 'smock screens' to distract you. in that case, you may apply the 21st law.

check the 28^th law and read it now.

u seem to have read this book well.
Can u really tell me what you have gained from the book?

i've gained from the 4^th law

and what does the 4th law says

the rule that i enjoyed most and contributed to my life is rule 28
ENTER ACTION WITH BOLDNESS
Sometimes, i feel i'm so bold that i need to withdraw, but i just kip moving on.

If u've read through the book and you are a God-fearing person, then u'll know that if u practise every law in it, u'll soon become an Adolf Hitler or an Idi Amin.
The book is simply mercenary.

The only thing is, take those compliant with your belief system and trash the rest.
the 4th Law is okay!

48 Laws Of Power by Robert Greene is a good book, but you need to align it with your Principles and value system before putting it into practice,

d book is evil.my supervisor at work had been so engrossed in d crap and i had a chance to go thru some of d material , i didnt find it funny realising that the maga had bn tryin some of d experiments on me.i generally stopped being his tool and withdrew into a distant place.i turned on d screws and started some experiments of my own.he called 4 a peace meetin soon after.shmuck

the man's value is questionable. robert green also wrote the book power of seduction. i gone through the book and i can fault some laws there.

I have read the book and it's okay, I guess.

I'm not really interested in self-help and/or how-to books but I read this nonetheless because of the hype.

What actually interested me most were the stories which demonstrated good and bad uses of the "laws."

For example, the first, 'Never Outshine the Master' and how Fouquet the French Finance Minister outshone King Louis and the repercussions. Also, the one about always finding a scapegoat or blaming someone else (can't really remember the actual phrase) where the Emperor in one Chinese Dynasty asked to "borrow" the head of the army food worker when he feared a mutinous hungry soldiers.

Those were the interesting bits of the book.

no person or author or even abook is completely ok by all ramifications.
What matters reslly is your intrest in the person or the book.

Read the Art of Seduction after The 48 Laws.

To all lovers of Robert Green[size=8pt][/size] Accept the fact that nothing is certain and no law is fixed! The best way to protect yourself is to be as fluid and formless as water. Never bet on stability or lasting order. Everything changes!

To those people in my life who have so skillfully used the game of power to manipulate, torture, and cause me pain over the years, I bear you no grudges and I thank you for supplying me with inspiration for The 48 laws of Power!

Those are the words of Green in the acknowledgement.

I get my principles from books I read and this has helped a long way, 48 laws of power is awesome, imbibe some of the laws to ur principles and u are going to make it. Though my mum said is demonic. I feel the bible shoud be one's source of inspiration. I like Laws 2, 4, 7,16, 40 and 41.

Its a wonderful book for men aspiring to the top.
People are always skeptical and uniformed about books like this because its a psycho philosophical book.

dear ,
that is the book for greatminds. if you want 2 be one continue digesting it, truly the major problem with those who discover d power in that book is that they get drunk with power

and you know that" Absolute power corrupts absolutely"

just be careful and make use of the positive, world-building secrets in da book.

the book is for people with strong minds who are ready to take the lead in this life.
To take the lead in the world of this you dont always have to do the good things.
but its a great book for great minds, am in love with.

Right. I read it to fortify myself against "smart guys".

una don de fear me naw o! i just wanted to go buy this book at all cost but now with all thiese negative comments,

I must state here emphatically that The 48 Laws of Power is a book written with a third eye. Mark my words. Robert Green has been one author who is so drawn to infusing elements of mysticism into his works. Check out the follow up to that book like The 33 Strategies of War, The Art of Seduction and his new release The 50 Law which he wrote with American Hip Hop mafia, 50 Cent.

While I commend his research and mastery of his art, I also want to advise everyone to know the kind of books he or she reads so you dont get your spirit 'soiled'.

(walks away)

The book's great but all the laws do not apply to everybody. so it's better to pick those that are useful to you and leave the rest. i learnt a lot though.

@poster
we all look but see different,im not gonna make a choice for u,,but books like these are not to be misapplied cuz damn,its all about "deception"so any mistake is gonna cause u a whole load of shit

[color=#000099][/color] where can i the book?

Get hold of The Power Principle by Blaine Lee.
That's a much balanced view, if you are looking at an ethical use of power.
