Join me and Jamal as we kick off our series going over the famously renowned book, 48 Laws of Power. The title of this episode is giving very...1800's vibe.

Chapter 1:Summary of The 48 Laws of Power"The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene is a self-help book that offers advice on how to gain and maintain power in society or personal relationships. The book draws on various historical examples to illustrate each law of power. These examples come from the lives of figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte, Sun Tzu, and Cleopatra, among others. Greene's 48 laws focus on aspects such as learning to keep people dependent on you (Law 11), using selective honesty to disarm your opponent (Law 12), and never outshining your master (Law 1). The book is often seen as controversial due to its manipulative tone and morally ambiguous advice. However, it remains popular, particularly among those interested in gaining professional leverage or understanding the dynamics of power more deeply.Chapter 2:The Theme of The 48 Laws of PowerIt's a non-fiction book, first published in 1998, that offers a compilation of 48 laws based on historical anecdotes and philosophical insights which are intended to illustrate ways to achieve power and influence in life. Each "law" is a principle or strategy that the author claims has been consistent throughout history in helping individuals gain and maintain power. The book has been highly influential in various fields, including business and politics. Key Plot PointsSince this is a guidebook rather than a story, it doesn't follow a traditional plot. However, we can consider key elements of each "law" which builds the structure of the book:- Law 1: Never Outshine the Master. Make those above you feel superior. Do not show your talents too brightly or they might feel insecure.- Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions. Keep others from seeing your purpose by distracting them with more visible actions to prevent them from noticing what you are really aiming for.- Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally. Do not give your enemies the chance to recover, but crush them in totality.- Law 33: Discover Each Man's Thumbscrew. Everyone has a weakness, a gap in the castle wall. That weakness is usually an insecurity, an uncontrollable emotion or need; it can also be a small secret pleasure. Character DevelopmentIn the context of this book, "character development" would refer to the development of the reader's understanding of power dynamics rather than the evolution of fictional characters. It educates the reader on various historical figures and how they either gained or lost power, analyzing their strategies and mistakes. It uses the actions of these figures as instructional tools for personal development in power tactics. Thematic Ideas- Power and Manipulation: The primary theme revolves around how power can be achieved and maintained. It delves into the mechanisms of manipulation and control over others, whether in politics, business, or personal relationships.- Morality and Amorality: The book is often considered amoral as it advises actions that are manipulative and self-serving. It prompts readers to reflect on the ethical implications of such strategies.- Pragmatism: The application of the laws suggests a highly pragmatic approach to life's challenges. It focuses on results rather than ethical considerations.- History and Philosophy: Each law is supported by historical examples, demonstrating how these laws have been applied by successful figures in the past. The historical grounding also invites readers to learn from history.- Leadership and Strategy: Many laws deal directly with issues of leadership and strategy, offering advice on how to lead effectively and strategically.The 48 Laws of Power tends to be controversial due to its cynical view of human nature and the ruthless advice it offers. It has been praised for its insights into power dynamics and criticized for promoting unethical behavior. As such, the...

In the pursuit of power and success, many seek guidance from influential sources, such as "The 48 Laws of Power." One of its laws, "Never Outshine Your Master," suggests that one should always make those above them feel superior. While this advice may help secure some favours and stabilize job positions, it is not without its pitfalls. In contrast, following the principles of loyalty, and Dharma, and understanding the transient nature of relationships can offer a more profound and fulfilling path to success. Here's more...

The 48 Laws of Power! पावरफुल लोगों के 48 सेक्रेट्स (HINDI BOOK SUMMERY 2021) #FINANSOTALESHINDI This is really a unique book that serves both as a manual as well as a reading of the history of power and how it was used through the ages. I imagine most read this book to get insight into business transactions or self-help - but what is fascinating are the examples that are used to show certain aspects of obtaining or getting power. That and Robert's other two books "The Art of Seduction" and the War one are important studies on the nature of those subject matters. Really unique and interesting! CONTENT TIMECODES

The 48 Laws Of Power stands as one of the best books I've ever read. My aim is to create an engaging succinct audio summary of the book that exemplifies each of the laws observance's and transgressions. This book is centred around power and human behaviour which some interpret as, manipulation, thus it is a controversial book to some. A lot hate it, a lot love it. I believe the most important thing in any new-found knowledge or idea is keeping an open mind. There is a lot of value in the idea's Greene discusses and this book will teach you that it is better to be aware of the malevolence around you then stay ignorant. Get The 48 Laws Of Power here.

In this episode of JavaScript Jabber, Charles talks about the new direction he has for the company. He wants  to drive people to the point that they have the skills that make people want to hire and work with them, to teach them how to ‘Max out’. Today the panel the skills that developers need to progress in their careers: social skills.  The panel talks about their observations from work that the people who advanced and grow in their career were the ones with social skills, not necessarily with technical skills. The company wants to get stuff done, and if your social skills are getting in the way of projects getting done because you can’t work with others, you are not that useful to the company, and you will be stuck in the lower ranks while others who may not have the same technical skills will rise in the ranks because they are pleasant to work with. Mani talks about his personal experience getting laid off for lacking these soft skills. But then he read the book 48 Laws of Power by Robert Green, realized his shortcomings, and started to apply just one lesson from the book. Within 6 months, he was promoted. Mani delves deeper into the first lesson taught in 48 Laws of Power, Never Outshine the Master. Fundamentally, this means that you don’t try to prove in meetings how good you are, or that they’re wrong, or that you think that you are better than them. The more you the aforementioned things, the less likely you will be to get promoted or trusted. Mani talks about how he used to do these things and how it cost him multiple jobs. When he put this lesson into practice, he changed his methods and the boss started to like him, leading to his promotion 6 months later. The panel discusses this lesson and what benefits can come from it.  Mani shares another lesson that he learned through the story of a friend trying to get him to invest in his business. After Mani refused to invest multiple times, his friend stopped asking him to invest, but instead asked him for business advice. Eventually, Mani invested in the business because when he saw that his friend was influenced by his advice, it engendered trust between them. The panel agrees that if you want to influence someone, you have to be influenced by them. It is important to treat someone as a person rather than an asset or wallet, and ensure them that their investment is not their end goal. One of the most fundamental social skills that you must be able to like people, because other people can smell manipulation.  The panel transitions to talking about the paradoxical nature of social skills and that they are often the opposite of what you think will work in a situation. Unfortunately, there will always be difficult people to work with. To illustrate how to work with difficult people, Mani shares the story of how Gengis Khan was convinced not to destroy a city of artists and engineers by his advisor, Yelu Chucai. Gengis Khan agreed because Yelu Chucai was able to structure his plea in a way that would also benefit Gengis Khan.  The conversation shifts to how to conduct an interview to see if a candidate will fit into your team culture. First, you must know what you’re looking for and understand your team culture, and then ask for stories of when they accomplished something in the interview. If every story is all about how they did something and they don’t include other people, then that may indicate their self-centeredness. They discuss the Ben Franklin Effect.  For those listeners wondering where to begin with all this self improvement, Mani has read over 2,000 books on business and offers a course on his website, 2000books.com.

Hey Melters! Today we talked about Eric's car accident, some great books (link below) and also being healthy. Thanks for listening   48 Laws of power by Robert Greene  THE BESTSELLING BOOK FOR THOSE WHO WANT POWER, WATCH POWER, OR WANT TO ARM THEMSELVES AGAINST POWER . . . A moral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distills three thousand years of the history of power into forty-eight well-explicated laws. As attention-grabbing in its design as it is in its content, this bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun-tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other great thinkers. Some laws require prudence ("Law 1: Never Outshine the Master"), some stealth ("Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions"), and some the total absence of mercy ("Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally") but like it or not, all have applications in real-life situations. Illustrated through the tactics of Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger, P. T. Barnum, and other famous figures who have wielded -- or been victimized by -- power, these laws will fascinate any reader interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control. Own the day by Aubrey Marcus  The founder and CEO of Onnit, the mega lifestyle brand and one of the fastest growing companies in the country, teaches us how one single day of positive choices leads to a lifetime of concrete strategies for better living, optimal performance, and a stronger mind, body, and spirit.

You've got Daddy Issues. And you're going to have to deal with them if you want to find your way to Power. Law 41 penetrates deeply into our psyches and draws back the veil on the automatic behaviours we go through life with – unconsciously playing out the patterns we inherited from our parents, whether by copying them or trying, naively, to reject them. So how can we forge our own distinctive routes to Power? This week, we ask some crucial questions. What is real drive? Who has it; can it be learnt; and should you rely on your children to have it? Are rags to riches stories actually instructive, or do they simply warp and distort our sense of what's necessary to become the hero of your own movie? We get psycho-philosophical and explain what it really means to kill the Buddha (and your parents) if you see them on your path; we explore the human inability to resist a pecking order; and we reveal what Bridezillas and Mothers-in-Law have to tell us about the Laws of Power. Law 41 nuances many of the previous Laws, from what Law 1 (Never Outshine the Master) actually means in practice, to always remembering to Give Before You Take (the core lesson of Law 12). As well as drawing together more of the rich tapestry of the 48 Laws, we stop off to ponder some personal issues, too. Jon reflects on his continuing life on the road and what the symbols of success really are for people in their 20s-30s these days; Dre describes how signal-to-noise ratios explain something absolutely fundamental about human nature... and what kind of lazy he really is. And we reveal why Alexander the Great seriously needed to pull his fucking self together. This episode includes: The only way to effectively overcome a powerful predecessor and forge your own legacy Does comfort erode ambition? How to avoid playing out the unlived lives of your parents Why rebellion so often turns out to be nothing new Learning the dominant paradigm and when to subvert it Do you lose your choices by following in someone's footsteps, or are you more prepared than your peers? How to reinvent yourself and why you have to do so Mentioned in the episode: The HBO series on John Adams which Dre mentioned The infamous Indiana Jones sword vs. gun scene Our excellent interview with Robert Colvile on The Great Acceleration in our lives Challenge: Write down a list of the qualities and achievements of both your father/mother and your idol... and then think of ways you could do the opposite. What does that reveal? What's the first thing you would change about your current lifestyle and trajectory? Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. Join us as we continue our 48 Laws of Power review, exploring Robert Greene’s provocative and compelling book, in which he lays bare the history, practice, psychology, and philosophies of power that ultimately shape all human relations. Often seen as a handbook for the ‘modern Machiavelli’, we take a closer look, beyond the hyperbole, and discuss how understanding and implementing these Laws can actually enrich your life personally, professionally and spiritually. Jon and Dre aim to get to the heart of each of the Laws, grapple with their sometimes disturbingly amoral nature, and discuss what the Laws mean in everyday life (often revealing their own experiences – good and bad – when they’ve either observed or transgressed them).

In this first episode of What Would Leland Do? We begin to examine Robert Green's first law from his incredible book The 48 Laws of Power. This law states "Never Outshine the Master". Leland and special guest Jay dive into what this means form a life, education, and business perspective so we can learn more!

Law 1: Never Outshine The Master Join us as we begin our exploration of Robert Greene’s provocative and compelling study of the 48 Laws of Power in which he lays bare the history, practice, psychology, and philosophies of power that ultimately shape all human relations. Often seen as a handbook for the ‘modern Machiavelli’, we take a closer look, beyond the hyperbole, and discuss how understanding and implementing these Laws can actually enrich your life personally, professionally and spiritually.   Our website: http://voicesinthedark.world/
