Never let yourself get lost in the crowd, then, or buried in oblivion. 4) Court Attention at All Costs Įverything is judged by its appearance what is unseen counts for nothing.
The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish. Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less.
Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike. When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. 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. If the yhave no clue what you are up to, they cannot prepare a defense. Keep people off-balance and in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind your actions. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power. In your desire to please and impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite – inspire fear and insecurity. 1) Never Outshine the Master Īlways make those above you feel comfortably superior. If not for the desire to become more powerful, this book can also be a great source to learn about historical figures and marking events of their lives. I strongly recommend people to read this book. Below are twelve of my favorite laws explained in the book and the judgement attached. I may not agree with every law mentioned, but I definitely agree that there is something to learn from the book. Instead, the main topics hover around being ruthless and strategic. Not many chapters talked about compassion and acceptance. We get details of how Louis XIV, Queen Elizabeth I, Zhu Geliang, and many more became the well-respected powerful leaders they are known as. Many of the examples used are historical characters. And this one, it is well-deserving of its title. Here I go again, reviewing yet another bestsellers. I may not agree with every law in there, but Robert Greene definitely knows what he is writing about. The book may seem massive to go through at first, but resides in it are 48 of the most well-explained laws of power. What is so amazing about this book is the immense knowledge, the vast number of historical examples and the delightful writing.
