An insightful read

This book is a fascinating read. Mr. Greene picks up some famous characters from history and some unknown characters to explain his "laws". Initially, I struggled with understanding why I should even bother applying some of the laws to my own life. For example, Law 14 states: "Pose as a friend, work as a spy", which seems to be relevant a few hundred years ago when Information was scarce. However, it gives a fantastic insight into how human psychology works and has worked for millennia. Just because we have access to the Internet and Social Media, human nature laws are still the same. I am also a massive fan of historical events and hence dealt with Mr. Greene's exploration of people's behaviours and how they adhered to or broke the rules, thus proving the law. This book may seem to make you act in an amoral fashion, but the author just paints a picture of what the world is really like. Sure, most people don't go around planning the downfall of mighty empires, they are driven by the same impulses that drove people in the past to remain in power.

Brilliant book and brilliant narration

With so much history of power dynamics, this book is a gem in encapsulating all that matters in the realm of power.

This gives good wisdom on how people exercise, use, misuse and counter power. Worth a listen for one time for sure.

That's one of the great Books I have listened to

If you don't know about these laws, then you will be a prey in this society rather than the predator

The book can be life changing if used wisely.

Written in a very detailed manner. The book covers all the major aspects required for mastery. Also the narration synchronised it very well with the writing and justified it. Amazing work by the author and the narrator.

Power to you

Well narrated and practical content. The book is some sort of prescription that needs to be swallowed.

Essential book for anyone working with people

Robert Greene has brilliantly revealed the hidden motives that people cover up with idealistic words and 'proper' behaviour. This book makes you aware of the games people play in all kinds of setups and equips you with the right tools so that you don't get played, instead win over everyone.
Anyone who refers to this as too dark is obviously ignorant or too idealistic about the world.

The book is so realistic that you will be able to correlate these concepts with your own life and with people that you work with.

Everyone seeks power, either consciously or unconsciously, so it's better to be a good player at the power game, rather than being ignorant and be played by anyone else.

A must read for anyone who has a vision or wants to do something big in this life.
