yea, no need to do everything, only need to be aware of everything. its ok to be kind, generous, and to help others. real leaders are usually full of good traits. they also are aware of things. the first law in the book is interesting. never outshine the master. I had never thought about that until I read this work. it then goes on to explain when it might be ok do to so. some of those ok to do so cases some might find manipulative. It is nice to recognize when another is making such a play.I tried reading this back when I first got into the manosphere, because it was one of the recommended books.
Honestly, although I'm sure there is material in there that can be used, it's just too manipulative and cynical for my taste.
I couldn't live my life like that.
