Well I have just started reading this mammoth book, and Ive just finished the preface, there seems to be alot of indepth things in the book that you have to ponder over but it seems packed with excellent ideas. Any thoughts from people who have read the book ??
 

What happens, IN HER MIND, is that she comes to see you as WORTHLESS simply because she hasn't had to INVEST anything in you in order to get you or to keep you.

You were an interesting diversion while she had nothing else to do. But now that someone a little more valuable has come along, someone who expects her to treat him very well, she'll have no problem at all dropping you or demoting you to lowly "friendship" status.

Yes.

Its an excellent blueprint for thinking like a sociopath/psychopath/anti social personality disorder sufferer and being out for self only and no one else.

You want to become like the natural born predators there's pretty much no better book to read than this one.

It's pretty dull past chapter five. A good read nonetheless.

However, I would HIGHLY recommend the movie.

Usually movies are better, anyway.

Cheers!

It's worthless, you read 500 pages and go "ooooh!" and when you are finished you realize you haven't learned anything. It just sound good when you read it but you cannot apply it.

The 48 laws of power is an excellent read. It contradicts itself at times, , but it is invaluable nonetheless.

Anyone who claims that they have learned nothing from it, has poor comprehension skills. The laws are explicitly stated, well explained, and reinforced by historical accounts of what happens when these laws are observed or ignored. As a student of management and martial arts, many of these principles have foundations in classical military and political science, referencing texts and historical figures that have been studied for hundreds and even thousands of years.
