In the Classics that have sold more than 2 million copies Robert Greene talks wisdom and life.
Here are my most highlighted 11 Laws from:
The 48 Laws of Power by Robert
Law 1: Never Outshine the Master:
Avoid attracting more attention or praise than your superiors, as it may provoke jealousy and resentment.
Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions:
Do not reveal your true motives and plans, as they can be used against you. Maintain an aura of mystery and keep people guessing.
Law 6: Court Attention at All Costs:
Stand out from the crowd and make yourself known. Seek attention, admiration, and respect to gain influence and power.
Law 9: Win Through Actions, Never Through Argument:
Instead of engaging in fruitless debates and arguments, let your actions speak for themselves. Demonstrating your abilities and achievements is more persuasive than mere words.
Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally:
If you find yourself in a conflict or facing opposition, do not leave loose ends. Eliminate your enemies decisively to prevent future retaliation.
Law 16: Use Absence to Increase Respect and Honor:
Sometimes, withdrawing or creating a sense of scarcity can enhance your value and make others appreciate your presence more. Absence can create a sense of longing and desire.
Law 18: Do Not Build Fortresses to Protect
Yourself:
Isolation can lead to vulnerability. Instead of isolating yourself, build alliances and networks to increase your power and protection.
LAW 25
Re-Create Yourself:
Do not accept the roles that society foists on you. Re-create yourself by forging a new identity, one that commands attention and never bores the audience. Be the master of your own image rather than letting others define if for you. Incorporate dramatic devices into your public gestures and actions – your power will be enhanced and your character will seem larger than life.
Law 27: Play on People's Need to Believe to Create a Cultlike Following:
Tap into people's desire for something to believe in and create a following or movement. Provide them with a sense of purpose and identity.
Law 34: Be Royal in Your Own Fashion:
Act like a king or queen to command respect and attention. Cultivate an air of grandeur and authority in everything you do.
Law 48: Assume Formlessness:
Adaptability and flexibility are crucial for survival and success. Avoid becoming rigid or predictable, and instead, embrace change and be open to different strategies and approaches.
