Should You Follow The Laws Of Power?

This is a clip from episode 33 of the Being Human podcast with Perry Clayton. We dive into the intriguing world of Robert Greene's "The 48 Laws of Power". We explore the essence of these laws, their historical context, and the controversy surrounding their application in modern life.
What are The Laws of Power?
"The 48 Laws of Power" is a best-selling book by Robert Greene that distills three thousand years of history into forty-eight well-defined strategies for achieving power. These laws draw on historical examples, from ancient rulers to modern leaders, showcasing tactics for gaining, maintaining, and defending power.
The Controversy
While Greene's book is revered by some as a masterful guide to understanding and navigating power dynamics, it is also criticized for promoting manipulation and deceit. Critics argue that following these laws can lead to unethical behavior and toxic environments. On the other hand, proponents believe that understanding these laws is essential for protecting oneself from the power plays of others.
Join us as we dissect these arguments, providing insights and perspectives to help you decide whether these laws are a valuable guide to success or a dangerous path to avoid.
