The book is 450 pages and claims to teach you 48 tricks that make you 'powerful'. Now 'vague, handwavy garbage' describes a lot of the 'pop sociology' genre, but 48 laws of power is exceptionally bad at it. Well dodged.Ĥ8 laws of power is delusional crap that exists to make the reader feel like they're been taught some great cornerstone of the human condition or some shit. It's not for everyone, but please don't hold that fact against it or those who like it - we're not all insane! Your ex probably is though. In short, the book is definitely disturbing when taken from the wrong perspective and sometimes also from the right one. It's better served as, and I'd imagine was meant to be, a cautionary tale on the trappings of power and the people it draws. However, to take it seriously? To honestly seek to become as one of the characters mentioned? It's insanity. As a person who's part of a rather competitive environment that attracts quite unsavoury types, I can attest to as much myself. It is, terribly enough, quite grounded in reality beyond all the artistic interpretation. Now, I'd wager that the book has a lot of value. Rather, the book simply gives you the lens of the same people it illustrates in the rules it speaks about - which, you'll note, are more often than not tyrants and warlords at worst, or just extremely savvy manipulators at best. I can see where you're coming from, since at no point is it really stopping to say 'don't actually do this', however watching even a single interview or talk from Greene is enough to realize he's hardly the person to write something like this in earnest. Robert Greene is being extremely cynical and sarcastic when 'narrating' it - it describes the axoims of power in the way an absolute psychopath would. Coincidentally, I believe that taking it with anything nearing seriousness, let alone the fervor you describe your ex following it with, is utterly insane. The 48 Laws of Power is one of my favourite books of all time.
