Top 8 laws from «The 48 Laws of Power» by Robert Greene:
1. Law 1: Never outshine the master:
When dealing with people who have more power or authority than you, it’s important to avoid drawing too much attention to yourself or appearing more skilled or talented than your superiors. This can create feelings of jealousy and insecurity, and may threaten your position.
2. Law 6: Court attention at all costs:
In contrast to Law 1, this law advises seeking attention and creating a spectacle to stand out and gain power. By creating a reputation for yourself and making yourself indispensable, you can attract attention and become a valuable asset.
3. Law 11: Learn to keep people dependent on you:
By providing value to others and making them dependent on you for their needs, you can gain power and control. This can be achieved through various means, such as providing resources, expertise, or emotional support.
4. Law 14: Pose as a friend, work as a spy:
By appearing friendly and trustworthy, you can gain access to information and gain the upper hand in negotiations. By gathering intelligence and using it strategically, you can stay ahead of your competitors.
5. Law 32: Play to people’s fantasies:
By appealing to people’s desires and fantasies, you can win their support and gain power. This can be achieved through flattery, promises of wealth or success, or by projecting an image that people find appealing.
6. Law 38: Think as you like but behave like others:
In order to fit in and gain acceptance, it’s important to conform to social norms and expectations. By adapting to the behavior and attitudes of those around you, you can avoid drawing attention to yourself and gain power through social acceptance.
7. Law 44: Disarm and infuriate with the mirror effect:
By reflecting back someone’s behavior or attitude, you can disarm them and gain the upper hand in a situation. This can be achieved by mirroring body language, tone of voice, or behavior to create a sense of familiarity and rapport.
8. Law 46: Never appear too perfect:
By showing vulnerability or flaws, you can create a sense of humanity and relatability that can make you more likable and influential. By appearing too perfect, you may create feelings of envy or resentment in others.
