The 48 Laws of Power

1. Writing a manual on how to manipulate, hurt,and "conquer" others for selfish intent. Is disgustingly vile. Shame on you. This material needs to be regulated. Coming from a manipulator and a narcissist myself. I had to be shown from other narcissists to be aware of what I was doing to people. Using hatred and selfish conquest over another only feeds the fire that continues the way we treat each other. This book fuels a paradigm that devolves humanity and the love that is inside of us all. In the right hands and with good intentions to help defend against others yes however it needs to be reviewed together. Deceptive and dishonesty creates a black hole. Nothing escapes. Not even light.

I have Read this book many times. Some have an obsession with believing that it teaches you how to gain power. IMO, all of the methods are ineffective. I'm giving 2 stars because some of the book details interesting history lessons, aside from that this is a very boring read and it really never gets good. I read this book multiple times to see if I missed things that others read into, unfortunately for me I can not reclaim all of those hours of my life back.

If I could I would give this zero stars. This book is a disgusting example of the lack of humanity that we are now experiencing in our world. It teaches individuals to use one another and manipulate to get what you want. It also encourages people to assume the worst about one another prior to investigation. This book is for a person who is not intelligent enough to reason for themselves and/or lacks basic human decency.
