I read the summary of this book on Littler Books and thought some of the advice are very questionable. Would anyone actually want to interact with someone who "get others to do the work for you, but always take the credit", or "use selective honesty and generosity to disarm their victims"? Thoughts?
Thank you for the 48 Laws of Power. I am 72 years old. I don’t have a relationship with my family. I worried about who would help me if I fell ill. For over a year, I had nightmares of horrible things happening to me as I aged. I reread the 48 Laws of Power 2 months ago hoping for wisdom. I fell ill last month. My doctor failed to find the cause of my illness. The next day after the doctor visit, I lay in bed feeling sick when I remembered 2 laws: enter with boldness (36) and be formless (48). I opened my laptop and sent gift cards to people I knew and ignored the advice of my mental health counselor who told me that they may question my motives. Within minutes I felt well. My friends never questioned my motives and were happy I reached out. I terminated the services of my counselor. I decided I am going to face my future with boldness and be formless. Now I sleep soundly with no nightmares.
As a person of faith, i can really understand why religious people think with their emotions than they do with their minds. One thing they fail to understand is that many religious demagogues use these same laws to keep a tight grip on their followers. What Greene offers the world is the secret of every tyrant garbed as a saint or a lamb. He did an excellent home work before coming to the public with this remarkable magnum opus. When i read his laws of humab nature, i could relate to a lot. Greene is that teacher and public guide who says it as it is and shows you how to live and make the best of this life. Thanks so much for what you have given to the world through your brilliant mind. You will have to really believe in the power of the human mind to read, understand and love Robert Greene
I love Robert Green and appreciate him and his books . I bought several books including 48 Law. I was outshining my manager and got psychologically bullied . I didn’t understand why , felt hurt because I worked so hard to make my manager proud and to get her approval. Until I come across 48 law , read the first chapter “ never outshining master “. Robert Green is chosen one , to bring this knowledge into the world .
I we went through a really messy divorce 18 years ago. I read the 48 laws and used about 36 of the laws . Although I lost some money I was able to keep my dignity and not let my shortfalls effect me negatively Thank you Robert Greene.
I read this back in the early '00s. It was instrumental in helping me navigate corporate politics. Before reading this I was blissfully naive, but constantly frustrated and confused by people in management. Corporate politics are full of delicate egos and precariously balanced positions of power. I am extremely grateful for this book and its help in my career. Thank you, Robert Green!
Thank you so much Brian. You have no idea the impact your work has in the world. I’m writing to you as a lowly South African young man who never had a father in his life, and all I want to do is just express my gratitude for your work. May the hand of the Lord bless you with many more years so you can continue imparting more wisdom to the world. God bless.
The 48 Laws of Power is actually my 2nd Bible, I've read it more times than I can remember. Whenever I find myself making 'moronic blunders' I go back to reread the book. In 2017, I distilled 48 Sonnets of Power (unpublished) from the 48 Laws. Thank you Robert Greene for the role you play in my life, I would've been lost in this wide wild world without your guide.
All your books are terrific. This is one of my favorites. We used your book for bookclub and we discussed each law, how we saw it show up in our lives and how we could use it and defend ourselves. Took almost a year but it was an extremely valuable learning experience. Thank you for all you do! 🕉
@Paul Milwee a friend just asked the same question. I think the Laws of Human Nature is where I'd start. You can't go wrong with any of Robert's books in my opinion.
I heard about this book yesterday! I watched a video detailing every law last night. And today I find that the author has dimerised the book 3 days ago! I felt like I already live by these laws! Maybe 40 out of the 48 are just my personality anyway! Started thinking maybe I’m a psychopath lol.. but I feel like I win in life the only difference is my power resides at the bottom! I am the top of the bottom and I’m happy with it. I seem to get what I want when I need it and I’ve always felt like the universe favours me above all.. they call me king Henry
i am one of those rare people who don't chase power. i don't like to give orders, but i really hate taking them. greene's work helps me to find that sweet spot in between the lions and the sheep. kind of like a honey badger, or a skunk: not antagonistic, not a victim and if you leave them alone it will all be cool. i am happier than i have been since i was a little kid and filled with a sense of freedom and potential. as always, thanks.
To not take orders requires you to have a certain amount of power lol , you chase that power without even knowing it. Maybe you re less ambitious about the amount of power you want. But that doesnt make you rare , it just makes you extremely common
As someone who survived a malignant narcissist and extortion in court via false claims i am all over Robert’s books. Wish i had heard about them earlier!
Personally I'm not a fan of using power to benefit myself but I understand that it isn't the game others play either subconsciously or Consciously. The book has helped me understand WHEN someone is using power so that I may plan/strategize accordingly. When he says "this is defense" is certainly hitting the nail on the head. As a result, I've made good friend with distance. And enemies whom need more distance. We love Robert Green.
This book does one of two things... 1) It gives the confused egomaniac a blueprint to so-called 'power'. 2) Coincidently, this book can help identify individuals that would apply these practices in certain aspects of life. You can observe the lessons in this book in areas like prison, organized crime, business, and government.
As a student, I read this book 10 years ago in Russian. (Russian is my mother tongue) Now, since I learned some English, I will read it in English. Thank you for this masterpiece of yours. I was also very fond of your book about seduction, actually, it was my favorite.
I was reading the first law in 48 laws of power, and I started yesterday. I was noticeably uncomfortable reading it as I feel I'm not this type of person to manipulate others, etc. But I'm glad you mentioned this book can be used to defend against different types of manipulation
I’ve seen a lot of people call the book “evil” and that’s just crazy. I’m a devout Christian and find this book most valuable and not a shred of “evil” in it. What it does, is speak directly toward human nature and makes you more aware. For those that are more on the religious end it will absolutely help you guide through life in a way that will foster success while also keeping your values and morales (whatever those may be) as your guardrails. I love the book because it’s direct and objective and then you can figure out how to apply it to your own life. It’s not “an evil book that teaches you to do bad things”. It’s data, explained well and you apply it how you see fit.
Yeah, it's like reading inside of the Devil's heart and knowing exactly how all the bad thing on Earth could happen and being able to prevent them cuz you know how they exactly work. The most important thing is to use the advices of this book for your own sake and avoid all the abuses in society because of it.
The only people who say this book is evil are the communists, Marxist and liberal democrats who are ruining America . That right there should tell you all you need to know.
“A lot of this is not about using these laws. A lot of this is about defence.” When I first listened to this audiobook my impressions of it was “this is a self-help book for sociopaths”. Perhaps it may have framed these lessons better. Instead of saying “this is what you should do” on certain chapters such as Crush Your Enemies the lesson could have been “Your Enemies will try to Crush You. Here’s what to Watch For.” This is how, as I remember Robert Greene framed his lessons in the superb Laws of Human Nature. Regardless how you feel about 48 Laws of Power The Laws of Human Nature is a must read. Also check out Mastery. While I have mixed feelings about 48 Laws, it has been 8 years since I listened to it and would be open to revisiting it. Also, congratulations on your recovery from your stroke, Mr. Greene.
Thank you Robert the book has changed my life. It made sense of so many things I never understood about the world and people. I owe a lot of my success to this book and how it's open my mind.
In my 38 years of existence only Robert Greene has given me wisdoms that I have never learned from all the combinations of books that I have ever read. For me Robert Greene is trully legendary. Thank you Robert Greene. Your books transform me to a better person especially The Laws of Human Nature which is the core principle of all your books. You are a hero to me.. 👌
This book is amazing to be honest. And it truly made me see a whole new layer of reality. I can deduce and predict situations, I can see who people actually are instead of believing the mask they give to the world - you're able to see behind the mask. Similar to Dantes from Count of Monte Christo who had to deduce what happened to him - who betrayed him, how did he end up in prison. And there are many moments like this in our life, and this book - 48 Laws of Power - gives you the tools to see who are the enemies in your life pretending to be your friends, and because you're able to recognize them, you're less likely to get backstabbed by them.
Mr Robert Greene you have written the best books I have ever read in my life. Thank you for your great work and your knowledge. God bless you and take care! Much love and greetings from Germany❤
Mr. Greene, thanks for this book awakening, a lot people, need to read this, BUT more from this, understand each word and and knowing how to use them in life is the information and the process of understanding. but I stick with what is written in the book of the Bible: “‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving" Matthew 13:9-14 🙏🏻
Hello Robert, I pray 🤲 this message reaches you, my family and me have been ruined by our family and its taken us down and out, grief has cost us two people dying, but we continue to be good, not anymore, we need to be smart, so I brought your book and I wish I knew you growing up because I would not have wasted 21 years of my life hoping and praying people would treat me and my small family better, the outsiders having been wishing us harm , hopefully your book will give me some training and education, thank you Robert Greene
I'm halfway through the audiobook now & I've been listening to it on Audible & it's truly been eye-opening and at times even disturbing to come to grips with the brutal tactics of people. At the same time, it's been very insightful to understand the true nature of human beings. It's worth reading/listening to as it does prepare you for the real world so you can navigate it properly and with the right perspective. Thanks for the information Mr. Greene, your work has been very helpful and I look forward to learning more from you catalog. Take Care,
First I was afraid of even listening to this book…because malignant narcissist I met did almost everything described in this book to seduce me. I was frightened when I found out that such book exists. I was worried if people are going to use this book as their guidebook to do bad things… and overpower victims. However I realized that it is important to see the World as it is. The shadow part of the World is not outside of me. We are all connected to it. We have to face it so we can transcend it to something better… we have to know ourselves And know our enemies in order to win… life, individually. Thank you for providing your years of experience and wisdom Roberts! I will use it to navigate this World so I don’t get deceived.
Thanks for this video. I love self growth and I also like the book, change your thoughts change your life by Wayne Dwyer. I think from your video I’m going to like your book
It’s all about the survival of the fittest in this universe and the need for hard and soft power to exist for a blink of an eye in this quantum realm. Much love ❤️ for you Robert and may Allah bless your soul
What is frightening is the manipulators to whom it comes naturally and I believe that is actually most people. The book simply enables you to be more cautious and guarded thereby protecting and advancing yourself more effectively.
I needed to read 48 Laws of Power for exactly that reason. I didn’t want power due to not wanting to offend anyone Was I wrong. This book was the one that changed my way of thinking. I still reference till this day.
your book was an eye opener, i picked it up in 2011 and my thought pattern changed for better. I understood my flaws and tried rectifying. No other self help book has this much impact on me. thank you sir.
Robert I hate to say this but I've literally been sitting on your book since about 2012. So 10 or 11 years I have been in possession of The 48 Laws of Power. The day I bought it a good friend of mine said "You don't want that, it's a not a book for someone good like you" ( I dont remember the exact words but the gist and feeling is there). I've been eyeballing your book as I've; moved from house to house, from state to state, and from job to job on my bookshelf. Telling myself I should read that; and that one memory pops up and I get distracted and do something else or read another book. But I always tell myself the same thing I did the day I bought your book. Which was "This is going to be more than useful when I crack it open". So I guess what I'm saying is in an honor of your 25th anniversary of your publishing it I swear upon my health that I am going to begin and finish reading your book by the end of 2023. It's crazy I've clocked countless hours of watching and listening to you on several podcasts talking but still never opened up the book. Here's to the 25th anniversary year, of the 48 Laws of POWER, being the biggest and best year of sales so far!!!
Reading 48 laws of power & its stories from history is enjoyable & learning experience.....but real benefit will come when u apply these laws in your life like always say less than necessary thats difficult to practice but is profound ✨️ or u save yourself from thoso who are using some of these laws on u without even reading this book...to be cautious. Applying these laws & lessons contained in them will definately lead to self growth ✨️🕉👍
This world is going to be an even bigger stage when everyone has read this book 😅. Lets hope they don't end up killing each other because their tactics aren't working.
This book drastically helped me with understanding for myself and my clients better. I highly recommended here. I also recommend reading the laws of human nature by Robert as well. It's a great book that really opened me up to my Shadow characteristics and those of others around me. It made me more a more empathetic person.
....woah..... I (24m) have been seeing patterns of power more and more recently, especially regarding social impact, sociology, interpersonal communication, and politics. And apparently there's already a book laying it all out. So excited to read this.
The 48 Laws of Power are eye-opening, but if you're not exploring the hidden secrets on Nixorus, you're missing out on the true essence of power. It's time to wake up!
Mr Robert, your books saved me from wasting my life. Everything was so blurry and confusing, but thanks to your books now i know the truth of what was happening to me and my life. Thank you very much! Could you do similar video on art of seduction? I think there are a lot of people who would like to hear you on that subject.
My favorite part once I read the book for the first time was the preface. Then “think as you like but behave like others” was another favorite of mine. I notice even children play power games. I can see it with my niece and nephew.
The goal is to let go of the ego self and becoming a being of light; the New Man as the Bible states. We should be teaching our children differently. The problem is most don't understand these deeper things until our later years Lol. C'est la vie !!!
It's not bragging if it's true! Love your books. If you're not paying attention to this man you're basically handicapping yourself in this thing called life.
Robert you've helped me so much with your work. But I dont understand the TH-cam channel. Like you're so elusive, people who interview you dont even make you seem less mysterious. I don't think the clicks are worth it. You're perfect just how you are. We will never stop coming towards you.
Any man who tries to be good all the time is bound to come to ruin amongst the great number who are not good. Hence a prince who wants to keep his authority must learn how not to be good and use that knowledge or refrain from using it as necessity demands. -Niccolo Machiavelli
Thank you Robert. Finally a summary for you. Although we would love a sumamry for each of the 48 laws(I do hope you make a summary of it in the future one day if ever for each law in one video. I know it would have a lot of views). This short one is enough and enlightening more from your words. I do suggest to people reading this if you never like Robert Greene and even after this video you still wont read the 48 Laws of Power, the I highly suggest his book “Laws of Human Nature” one of the best books if not his best book among all the others he has written. It has a part about power in one of the chapters but perceived as one of the Laws of Human nature, Law of Defensiveness and Law of Covetiousness and also Law of Envy and Law of Self-Sabotage. Robert Greene, hope you stay happy and healthy and well. You should mention more that before you wrote the 48 Laws books you actually experience both in reading history books and in person thru your various jobs such Laws. That actually gives more credit to the book being just “ideas on paper” or not real or just imaginative. Power is truly part of human nature otherwise we wont have such things called politics both in the office or in the global economy. Power is truly everywhere even in the family unit there is power struggles. Children try to vy for the attention (power) of their parents and when neglected often search for other sources of power as they grow older in other people or projects
Robert Greene, Thank you so much! I too have had a small stroke & understand where you're coming from. Miss my mountain bike, but still do photography. Thanks again, the next one is "The Law's of Human Nature."
Greene is wisdom. He got his ass handed to him over and over and he was wise enough to understand the struggle and put together this timeless knowledge.
I've just read the book & I'm in my 40's....I realized I was playing in a very different league! I did not know I was so naive & foolish. I hope is not too late for me!!! Thank you for opening my eyes on how stupid I was !!
Sir .....your book has helped me in many ways ....literally in numerous ways from identifying the toxic person to how to plot their slyness .....You are amazin ....thanks for guidin us sir .....Keep writin ♥
I developed a proficiency in a highly specialized field. I became one of those irreplaceable workers. It doesn’t bring happiness, its fing exhausting. I am always being called, asked to travel to other locations and have an endless backlog. People see my position and then claim they want to “help me and learn about the field”, but they never want to put in the necessary work. They want gain without pain and usually punch out after a few months of a job that takes about 5 years to master.
When he mentioned, "Whether I'm correct or mistaken, regardless of the market's fluctuations, it doesn't affect me," I found it perplexing. Many individuals are experiencing significant financial losses in the current environment. Personally, I've been investing in stocks since the beginning of the year, yet my situation hasn't improved. Meanwhile, I've come across stories of people who are still in the same market but have managed to make over $350,000 in just a few months. It's a challenging situation out here!
In times of market downturns, maintaining a consistently profitable portfolio can be quite demanding for the average person. These strategies are typically executed most effectively by experts with extensive market knowledge and skills. Perhaps you should consider hiring one.
Love how he applies his own rules in this Video. Notice how his shirt, hair and general posture looks like. He’s showing us he’s not too perfect (and also isn’t causing Envy in us)
Excellent analysis of the power matrix. The need to understand power can help you find your own keys to business success. The Bubble That Broke The Bank gives a realistic understanding of the coming economic descent into economic hell.
I think that most of the readers of this book are the well natured people. And i think that because these types of people have experinced many traumatizing events throughtout their life. So, they have the need to see what they are doing wrong and this book can be a very good instructor to that. Malevolent people are too busy applying their shady tactics decribed iit the book, thus narcissists and egoists think that they don't have the need to educate themselves. So, power is an excellent piece of work for those who seek maintaining their phychological stability with their interpesonal and professional interactions.
I was told that this book is evil..but now I love it and my favorite book so far..will be reading his other books as well..thank you Robert for this wonderful book ❤ from 🇵🇭

Thank you Robert the book has changed my life. It made sense of so many things I never understood about the world and people. I owe a lot of my success to this book and how it's open my mind.
In my 38 years of existence only Robert Greene has given me wisdoms that I have never learned from all the combinations of books that I have ever read. For me Robert Greene is trully legendary. Thank you Robert Greene. Your books transform me to a better person especially The Laws of Human Nature which is the core principle of all your books. You are a hero to me.. 👌
All of his books are worth reading
Prince Machivelli.
You are a rare person.
Well done.
This book is amazing to be honest. And it truly made me see a whole new layer of reality. I can deduce and predict situations, I can see who people actually are instead of believing the mask they give to the world - you're able to see behind the mask. Similar to Dantes from Count of Monte Christo who had to deduce what happened to him - who betrayed him, how did he end up in prison. And there are many moments like this in our life, and this book - 48 Laws of Power - gives you the tools to see who are the enemies in your life pretending to be your friends, and because you're able to recognize them, you're less likely to get backstabbed by them.
Mr Robert Greene you have written the best books I have ever read in my life. Thank you for your great work and your knowledge. God bless you and take care! Much love and greetings from Germany❤
What was your favourite?
@@Nushka23 definitely Power. But every book is superb. Have fun reading them G!✌🏻
I highly recommend you 12 rules for life from Jordan Peterson
@@Random_person98 😂 never in my life
Rereading this right now and I can't thank you enough Mr Robert 😊
Mr. Greene, thanks for this book awakening, a lot people, need to read this, BUT more from this, understand each word and and knowing how to use them in life is the information and the process of understanding. but I stick with what is written in the book of the Bible:
“‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving"
Matthew 13:9-14 🙏🏻
Hello Robert, I pray 🤲 this message reaches you, my family and me have been ruined by our family and its taken us down and out, grief has cost us two people dying, but we continue to be good, not anymore, we need to be smart, so I brought your book and I wish I knew you growing up because I would not have wasted 21 years of my life hoping and praying people would treat me and my small family better, the outsiders having been wishing us harm , hopefully your book will give me some training and education, thank you Robert Greene
There is a lot of Grey in this Black and White thinking nowadays world. This is truly a great book. Worth many reads.
I'm halfway through the audiobook now & I've been listening to it on Audible & it's truly been eye-opening and at times even disturbing to come to grips with the brutal tactics of people. At the same time, it's been very insightful to understand the true nature of human beings. It's worth reading/listening to as it does prepare you for the real world so you can navigate it properly and with the right perspective.
Thanks for the information Mr. Greene, your work has been very helpful and I look forward to learning more from you catalog.
Take Care,
Please how can I have the audio book ?. Help
First I was afraid of even listening to this book…because malignant narcissist I met did almost everything described in this book to seduce me. I was frightened when I found out that such book exists. I was worried if people are going to use this book as their guidebook to do bad things… and overpower victims. However I realized that it is important to see the World as it is. The shadow part of the World is not outside of me. We are all connected to it. We have to face it so we can transcend it to something better… we have to know ourselves And know our enemies in order to win… life, individually. Thank you for providing your years of experience and wisdom Roberts! I will use it to navigate this World so I don’t get deceived.
The best book ever written !
I am at 46th law... Thank you for writing this book...
Thanks for this video. I love self growth and I also like the book, change your thoughts change your life by Wayne Dwyer. I think from your video I’m going to like your book
48 LAWS OF POWER IS EXTREMELY VALUABLE BOOK
ROBERT SIR YOU ARE THE BEST.
This is a genius video. There are youtube videos doing just this everywhere. Robert just pre-empted them all. Power move
Yes sir, your style of writing is like no other!
I love all your books!, The laws of Human Nature has changed my life!
Gratis from Kenya 🇰🇪
Great vid robert, watching a wise man spreading knowledge on youtube is very, very heartwarming
It’s all about the survival of the fittest in this universe and the need for hard and soft power to exist for a blink of an eye in this quantum realm. Much love ❤️ for you Robert and may Allah bless your soul
What is frightening is the manipulators to whom it comes naturally and I believe that is actually most people. The book simply enables you to be more cautious and guarded thereby protecting and advancing yourself more effectively.
I needed to read 48 Laws of Power for exactly that reason. I didn’t want power due to not wanting to offend anyone
Was I wrong. This book was the one that changed my way of thinking. I still reference till this day.
your book was an eye opener, i picked it up in 2011 and my thought pattern changed for better. I understood my flaws and tried rectifying. No other self help book has this much impact on me. thank you sir.
This book really changed my life, thank you mister Green
Robert I hate to say this but I've literally been sitting on your book since about 2012. So 10 or 11 years I have been in possession of The 48 Laws of Power. The day I bought it a good friend of mine said "You don't want that, it's a not a book for someone good like you" ( I dont remember the exact words but the gist and feeling is there).
I've been eyeballing your book as I've; moved from house to house, from state to state, and from job to job on my bookshelf. Telling myself I should read that; and that one memory pops up and I get distracted and do something else or read another book. But I always tell myself the same thing I did the day I bought your book. Which was "This is going to be more than useful when I crack it open".
So I guess what I'm saying is in an honor of your 25th anniversary of your publishing it I swear upon my health that I am going to begin and finish reading your book by the end of 2023.
It's crazy I've clocked countless hours of watching and listening to you on several podcasts talking but still never opened up the book.
Here's to the 25th anniversary year, of the 48 Laws of POWER, being the biggest and best year of sales so far!!!
you don't need the book anymore cause you've won the prize for the greatest procrastinator.
So did you do it?
You’re the man Robert I tell everyone I know about the things I’ve learned from your literature… thank you for your guidance through this life
Reading 48 laws of power & its stories from history is enjoyable & learning experience.....but real benefit will come when u apply these laws in your life like always say less than necessary thats difficult to practice but is profound ✨️ or u save yourself from thoso who are using some of these laws on u without even reading this book...to be cautious. Applying these laws & lessons contained in them will definately lead to self growth ✨️🕉👍
This world is going to be an even bigger stage when everyone has read this book 😅. Lets hope they don't end up killing each other because their tactics aren't working.
This book drastically helped me with understanding for myself and my clients better. I highly recommended here. I also recommend reading the laws of human nature by Robert as well. It's a great book that really opened me up to my Shadow characteristics and those of others around me. It made me more a more empathetic person.
Oh BOY I've been waiting for this one
....woah..... I (24m) have been seeing patterns of power more and more recently, especially regarding social impact, sociology, interpersonal communication, and politics. And apparently there's already a book laying it all out. So excited to read this.
The 48 Laws of Power are eye-opening, but if you're not exploring the hidden secrets on Nixorus, you're missing out on the true essence of power. It's time to wake up!
what is nixorus?
@@bambitobeano7761 NIXX!
😊
Mr Robert, your books saved me from wasting my life. Everything was so blurry and confusing, but thanks to your books now i know the truth of what was happening to me and my life. Thank you very much!
Could you do similar video on art of seduction? I think there are a lot of people who would like to hear you on that subject.
My favorite part once I read the book for the first time was the preface. Then “think as you like but behave like others” was another favorite of mine. I notice even children play power games. I can see it with my niece and nephew.
Shouldn't they be taught _not to_ though? Why are we ok with this?
The goal is to let go of the ego self and becoming a being of light; the New Man as the Bible states. We should be teaching our children differently. The problem is most don't understand these deeper things until our later years Lol. C'est la vie !!!
I love how Ryan Holiday is so active in Robert's continued success. They both deserve each other.
He's the guy Robert mentioned? Lol
Is he? I was wondering who it was...@@jpmisterioman
He points out the laws in this book are everywhere. It’s true. Embrace the laws. The book is a weapon and a shield.
This should have way more views
It's not bragging if it's true! Love your books. If you're not paying attention to this man you're basically handicapping yourself in this thing called life.
You're one of the best writer of all time can wait to hear your next book Sir Robert Greene may God keep bless and guide you 👏💯⭐🌟🔥
Robert you've helped me so much with your work. But I dont understand the TH-cam channel. Like you're so elusive, people who interview you dont even make you seem less mysterious. I don't think the clicks are worth it. You're perfect just how you are. We will never stop coming towards you.
This man is a blessing to the world, As a young man I really appreciate his work 🔥
Any man who tries to be good all the time is bound to come to ruin amongst the great number who are not good. Hence a prince who wants to keep his authority must learn how not to be good and use that knowledge or refrain from using it as necessity demands.
-Niccolo Machiavelli
@Kyra This is not Religion. This is the world of Power.
You became my mentor for life ever since i read 4:49 your book the Art Of Seduction.📚👌
Thank you Robert. Finally a summary for you. Although we would love a sumamry for each of the 48 laws(I do hope you make a summary of it in the future one day if ever for each law in one video. I know it would have a lot of views). This short one is enough and enlightening more from your words. I do suggest to people reading this if you never like Robert Greene and even after this video you still wont read the 48 Laws of Power, the I highly suggest his book “Laws of Human Nature” one of the best books if not his best book among all the others he has written. It has a part about power in one of the chapters but perceived as one of the Laws of Human nature, Law of Defensiveness and Law of Covetiousness and also Law of Envy and Law of Self-Sabotage.
Robert Greene, hope you stay happy and healthy and well. You should mention more that before you wrote the 48 Laws books you actually experience both in reading history books and in person thru your various jobs such Laws. That actually gives more credit to the book being just “ideas on paper” or not real or just imaginative. Power is truly part of human nature otherwise we wont have such things called politics both in the office or in the global economy. Power is truly everywhere even in the family unit there is power struggles. Children try to vy for the attention (power) of their parents and when neglected often search for other sources of power as they grow older in other people or projects
His books are transforming me I never thought of in my wildest imaginations
I guess you are a perv now because you read the art of seduction
Robert Greene, Thank you so much! I too have had a small stroke & understand where you're coming from. Miss my mountain bike, but still do photography. Thanks again, the next one is "The Law's of Human Nature."
Bob, I pray for you. Be healthy, happy and prosperous. Blessings
Keep the videos coming, Robert!
Greene is wisdom. He got his ass handed to him over and over and he was wise enough to understand the struggle and put together this timeless knowledge.
Thank you 😭💕✨
I love your books sir
I just ordered ‘The 50th law’. It will arrive tomorrow! Can’t wait for it✨✨
Thank you Mr Greene for letting me be aware..
Just started reading your book. Love it so far. I am 31 and wished I would have known and read this in college.
I've just read the book & I'm in my 40's....I realized I was playing in a very different league! I did not know I was so naive & foolish. I hope is not too late for me!!! Thank you for opening my eyes on how stupid I was !!
Sir .....your book has helped me in many ways ....literally in numerous ways from identifying the toxic person to how to plot their slyness .....You are amazin ....thanks for guidin us sir .....Keep writin ♥
I love this book. I've been referring to it for years whenever I feel overwhelmed. It never fails to steer me in the logical direction.
By "logical," I mean: right.
I developed a proficiency in a highly specialized field. I became one of those irreplaceable workers. It doesn’t bring happiness, its fing exhausting. I am always being called, asked to travel to other locations and have an endless backlog. People see my position and then claim they want to “help me and learn about the field”, but they never want to put in the necessary work. They want gain without pain and usually punch out after a few months of a job that takes about 5 years to master.
When he mentioned, "Whether I'm correct or mistaken, regardless of the market's fluctuations, it doesn't affect me," I found it perplexing. Many individuals are experiencing significant financial losses in the current environment. Personally, I've been investing in stocks since the beginning of the year, yet my situation hasn't improved. Meanwhile, I've come across stories of people who are still in the same market but have managed to make over $350,000 in just a few months. It's a challenging situation out here!
In times of market downturns, maintaining a consistently profitable portfolio can be quite demanding for the average person. These strategies are typically executed most effectively by experts with extensive market knowledge and skills. Perhaps you should consider hiring one.
Could you please provide the contact information for your investment advisor? I'm in urgent need of one.
Thank you for the referral. I looked her up and have already sent her an email. I hope to hear back from her soon.

Law 49 - Never fall for crypto scams
Love how he applies his own rules in this Video.
Notice how his shirt, hair and general posture looks like. He’s showing us he’s not too perfect (and also isn’t causing Envy in us)
One of the greatest philosophers of the modern age. Salure you Robert green. 💯✌✌✌✌
I bought your Book in Hindi medium 👏 it's really great Book 📚
Mastery is really taking me to an unknown world I never knew existed
Excellent analysis of the power matrix. The need to understand power can help you find your own keys to business success. The Bubble That Broke The Bank gives a realistic understanding of the coming economic descent into economic hell.
I think that most of the readers of this book are the well natured people. And i think that because these types of people have experinced many traumatizing events throughtout their life. So, they have the need to see what they are doing wrong and this book can be a very good instructor to that. Malevolent people are too busy applying their shady tactics decribed iit the book, thus narcissists and egoists think that they don't have the need to educate themselves. So, power is an excellent piece of work for those who seek maintaining their phychological stability with their interpesonal and professional interactions.
Must be a good book... thank you, Robert Greene. ❤
Nobody can write like you do- true Doc Robert
im legit 23 years old and starting on my new dream job. thanks for the help
