How to Master the 48 Laws of Power
“The world is the will to power” — Nietzsche
I. Why Learn the 48 Laws of Power?
I once overheard a drunk on the subway shout at another passenger: “If you ain’t got my money, fool, I can’t hear ya! Because— men tell lies . . . women tell lies . . . numbers tell truths!”
In vino veritas!
Indeed, the numbers tell the following incredible story:
The average lifespan is roughly 27,000 days.
Because Nature imposes the “Sleep Tax Bill,” one-third of the sands stuffed in each hourglass has to be forked over to the cousin of death.
That leaves us 18,000 days.
Work → commute to work . . . eating → bowel movements . . . and so on snag away about another 8,000 days.
Between birthday and death-day, at best, we each get about 10,000 days before finally twirling into the Reaper’s grim arms.
In short, dear reader, why reading what follows is important can be boiled down to this equation:
Knowledge is Power + money is Power + time is Money = knowing this will be time well spent!
