 What's up guys Isaac here, and it's time for another book recommendation If you watched the last one you have seen that I recommended on the shortness of life by Seneca Which you all should have read because it's super short and super beneficial But now I'm gonna dive into a new one. I'm gonna dive into the 48 loads of power Which is very very popular book and for good reason too. It's a fucking sick book Okay, before I talk about this book, I just want to give a background story to give some context On the relevance of this book. Okay, so bear with me. I While back when I started my blog the realized man.com I Was posting articles on certain Facebook groups and getting some attention right, so I got approached by someone I got DM'd direct message by someone and this person proposed that I Make a personal development group with them and this other guy and we Worked together recruit some members and we share our content on there and get other people share Content into the group and to me. There's some like a really good idea at the time Sound it seemed like a positive cause and something that would benefit everybody. So I said sure So I was recruiting members into this group with the other guy this guy also was working with And he was also recruit members allegedly So recruit members recruit members and we were actually gaining a fair amount of members Now the group grew to a certain size inside gaining some traction and this guy All of a sudden put his face in the middle of the group But there were three of us there were three admins three people that were working here He puts face in the middle of the group Trying to like brand as if it was his group So I confront him. I say hey, man. What's the girl? Why did you put your face in the middle group? This is a combined effort. I thought this was for everyone What's the guy? He's all sorry. It's just something I was testing out the new image robot. I'll take it down No worries. He took it out now Things were as usual. We kept recruiting more members the group got larger and grew to a certain size it grew pretty big and This guy puts face back In the middle of the cover branded it as his group and of course Kicked me and the other guy out as admins with them like admins So basically it's his group now So Let that be a lesson and also turned out that this guy was some network marketing guy who created a group just to make money just to lead to Lead people funnel people down to his website and get them to join his pyramid schemes complete douchebag But if I had read this book here Before all this happened I would have seen it from a mile away. I would have seen the power plays from a mile away If I had known about the laws if I'd known about Laws seven Get others to do the work for you, but always take the credit I would have noticed straight away from the very first Skype call that this guy was trying to guess do some free work for him That would be a big red flag if I've known about law 14 poses a friend Work as a spy. I would have been a lot more suspicious about why this guy wanted to work with us If I know about all these other laws, I would have really seen these things from a mile away This book here it's a guide you see Robert Green the author The reason he wrote this is he was working the Hollywood and he said that he Notice a lot of power plays a lot of manipulation people take advantage of each other to get into some positions things that happen often when money is involved He knows these things and people are taking advantage of him So he actually started analyzing it and he wrote a book and Robert Green's very analytical type of guy if you read any of these books you understand that he draws from the lessons of history and also Psychology philosophy all sorts of different things that combines it to create his work his masterpieces So when you're reading his books, you actually get Your money's worth because you're getting the history and the psychology the philosophy you gain good stories You can practical principles that you can apply to the real world So he wrote down 48 laws that people use and if you can understand these laws you'll be better suited better equipped to Dessert or see when someone's trying to apply them to you now Robert Green got a lot of criticism because some of these laws people say are immoral. They sound downright evil Let me read some of the laws actually to give you guys an idea of what I'm talking about here Law 3 consider your intentions Law 7 get others to do the work for you. I always take the credit Law 11 learn to keep people dependent on you Law 12 use selective honesty and generosity to disarm your victim Law 15 crush your enemy totally Law 27 play on people's need to believe to create a code like following you get the idea a lot of these things are not positive hippie Fairy positive self-improvement taboosha that you're used to but this is what happens in a rule Oh, this is what happens at high levels of power Robert Green didn't write this book so that you had to do everything in it You can use this book as a tool tool For you to help you understand when people manipulate you because this happens in real life People try manipulate you and take advantage if you can understand how their mind works and the tools they use You will be better suited to defend yourself or you can use some of these tools to get ahead if you wish But that's not why he wrote the book So see the book from our perspective. Don't judge it from a good or bad position. It's neutral All these laws are just what happens Anyway, all you guys should check out this book 48 laws of power. I highly recommend it. I love it.
