A review by prithikapal
The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene

2.0

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.
