The 48 Laws of Power

Power shapes everything, whether you wield it or not. Curated by a reader of Robert Greene’s 48 Laws of Power. Fan-run and unaffiliated. Just observing the game.

Law 2 is cruel, but fundamental. “Never put too much trust in friends, learn to use enemies.”

Every negative is a positive. The bad things that happen to me, I somehow make them good. That means you can’t do anything to hurt me.

Never whine, never complain, never try to justify yourself.

Be royal in your fashion; act like a king to be treated like one.

Get others to do the work for you, but always take the credit.

It’s not a game. It’s survival. Which law do you master?
