    The laws that were very Makavelian

    Story
    "Buy it if you are part of royalty or a politician"
    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

    No really, it teaches how you can take advantage of people. Mr. Dale Carnegie would feel sorry for Mr. Greene if you know what I mean. I did like the history passages used to illustrate the points. However some were a stretch.


    What was most disappointing about Robert Greene’s story?

    There is nothing positive or anything that I would want to teach my kids from this book. There are some many other ways to influence people and he goes about it the wrong way.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    What kept me listening were the historic passages.


    Who do you think would benefit most from listening to The 48 Laws of Power?

    This is an easy guide to become a spineless back stabber. If you are in politics, this is your book. Not really, this is exactly what is wrong with politics.


    Any additional comments?

    After the 24th law it sounds repetitive. The reader is excellent.My wife found it too dramatic but i thought it was appropriate for the topic. She hated it, didn't even finish it.

    Story
    "how to be a better sociopath, or become one"
    What made the experience of listening to The 48 Laws of Power the most enjoyable?

    fascinating, in all the gory details.


    Would you recommend The 48 Laws of Power to your friends? Why or why not?

    no. It would make them sick.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    they're all rather horrific.


    What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

    I was rather shocked to see that sociopathy is more common than suspected, is an ancient art-form of predation, and scorns those with conscience as marks and fools.It teaches the rest of us to recognize and understand it better.

    Unfortunately, it's an excellent primer for sociopaths that want to up their game. And teaches aspiring sociopaths everything they need to know.


    Any additional comments?

    Keep the antacids handy and learn like your life depends on it. Because it might.

    "A book that every business person should read!"
    What made the experience of listening to The 48 Laws of Power the most enjoyable?

    If you don't know these laws, than you will be unaware when other people use them on you. In business and in personal life, these laws can be very valuable to know. If I knew these laws when I started my business 6 years ago, I'm sure I would have avoided some mistakes I made when dealing with people. I highly recommend this book!

    "Horrible"

    Couldn't get past the first few chapters. Horrible narration (over dramatized), and horrible content... "assume everyone else has an agenda, they're out to get you, life is win/lose, do what it takes, whatever you can get away with, and anyone who believes otherwise is naive".

    "Amazing Clarity into How the Powerful get Powerful"

    Forget Tony Robbins .. read this book if you truly want that dark secret about what power is, how to get it and how to use it. A rare find, I rarely recommend it as in the wrong hands, this is dangerous stuff.

    "Poor audio quality"

    I’m dissatisfied with the sound quality of the recording – it’s a bit muffled. Also, no matter how high I turn the audio up, the audio level does not increase high enough. Cannot listen to the recording anywhere but in the quiet of my home which defeats the purpose. I’d like to be able to listen to it on-the-go but I can’t hear a thing.

    "This is REALLY hard to listen to"

    I keep having to rewind because it is hard to pay attention due to the boring style this is read in.
    The only way I could digest this is to have the book in front of me :(
