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.

Tiene muchisima informacion y se nota el trabajo del autor por poner los ejemplos mas adecuados para cada situacion, la diagramacion es bastante interesante, hace tiempo que no veia un libro en dos colores. Ahora bien no creo que la intencion del autor sea la de dar una guia practica para alcanzar el poder, sino que desnuda las caracteristicas de las personas que estan el poder y usan esas tacticas para gobernar. creo que ayuda mucho a identificar quienes usas esas estrategias y si uno quiere puede usarlas tambien, total ninguna es nueva todas son recopiladas. La verdad me para mi fue bastante entretenido el libro a pesar que por muchos sea considerado de autoayuda yo lo veo mas como uno de entretenimiento.

Robert Greene is a Talleyrand fanboy, you cant tell me otherwise.

A very interesting book. Overall the book was a bit cynical but objectively each chapter held truth to it. I think it's important to take every word with a grain of salt and to use its laws wisely. The writing was straightforward and easy to grasp and it made me look at situations in a new light.

Brilliant. Questionably Brilliant. The only self help book that matters!
In understanding where people could be coming from, in understanding power, ambition and human psychology- this was brilliant.
I’m not sure if one should religiously practice the laws, but one should definitely know of them to be much more socially conscious of the intentions and actions of others.
And if you want to be part of the 1% of the world, this is your guide, however pray hell does not exist.
