tpacalipse: That book is my second bible. Even though it looks devilish, I love it still.

I actually hate this book. It is responsible for a lot of the selfishness, bad governance and leaders we have in the world today.

I find that law that says "preach reform but don't reform everything at once" demonic. Leaders today can change the world overnight but its not in their interest to eradicate hunger, war and disease because they will no longer be seen as gods

I've read the book and sometimes personalised its principles. But it teaches a win-lose approach & makes me too vindictive & manipulative.

I recommend a book by Kevin Hogan: THE PSYCHOLOGY OF PERSUASION. Everybody- salesmen, politicians, clerics, public speakers, married or single.
It teaches an ethical win-win way of persuasion as part of everyday life instead of the manipulative nature of Robert Greene's 48 Laws Of Power.
