As 48 Leis do Poder by Robert Greene

I read this book some years ago. Greene does a great job providing historical context and examples to justify each law. However, I do not view 48 LOP as a leadership or self development book. It is a book that teaches manipulation and psychological ways to get what you want.

With that said, I’m not rating; maybe I will re read to do that. Then again, I do not have an interest at this time to reread the book.

DNF!! Absolutely not! This book is immoral. I reached rule three, only to see if I’d misunderstood the first two and no I didn’t! Definitely not for me… Is it for anyone? Well, I don’t think it would support anyone for their greatest good. Zero stars.

I am hoping to finish reading it soon. I find the book quite manipulative also in a good way, it will help you anticipate people’s next moves. I just want to live a simple life but it seems everyone is playing games.

Honestly I didn’t even fully read this book to the end because everything in it is awful. I don’t agree with any of the advice written in here. This book isn’t about gaining power. It’s solely on manipulation and making it to the top by being a horrible human being with zero morality. If you wanna be the next Jeff Bezos, then this book is perfect for you. Power is not gained through manipulation and fear. Power is gained through true respect and being influential. The author clearly doesn’t know that. If you have to gain power through manipulation then honestly you have no power. It makes you weak and desperate.

Even if you decide to read this book to be a more manipulative person, everything written in it is common sense. It’s stupid BS like “make people do your work for you but then take all the credit”

The author had the potential to be a good writer. His writing skills are amazing but the content he writes about is absolute trash.
