The 48 Laws of Power

by Robert Greene and Joost Elffers

Law 1

Never Outshine the Master

Always make those above you feel comfortably superior.
In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite

Law 12

  Use Selective Honesty and Generosity to Disarm your  Victim
  One sincere and honest move will cover over dozens of  dishonest ones.
Open-hearted  gestures of honesty and generosity bring down the guard of even the most  suspicious people.
Once your  selective honesty opens a hole in their armor, you can deceive and manipulate  them at will.
A timely gift

Law 31

Control the Options: Get Others to Play with the Cards you Deal

  The best deceptions are the ones that seem to give the  other person a choice:
Your  victims feel they are in control, but are actually your puppets.
Give people options that come out in your favor whichever one they  choose.
Force them to make  choices between the lesser of two evils, both of which serve your purpose.
Put them on the horns of a dilemma:
They are gored wherever they turn.

Law 32

Play to People抯 Fantasies

  The truth is often avoided because it is ugly and  unpleasant.
Never appeal to truth  and reality unless you are prepared for the anger that comes for  disenchantment.
Life is so harsh  and distressing that people who can manufacture romance or conjure up fantasy  are like oases in the desert:
Everyone  flocks to them. There is great power in tapping into the fantasies of the  masses.

Law 33

Discover Each Man抯 Thumbscrew

  Everyone has a weakness, a gap in the castle wall.
That weakness is usual y an insecurity, an uncontrollable emotion or  need; it can also be a small secret pleasure.
Either way, once found, it is a thumbscrew you can turn to your  advantage.

Law 34

Be Royal in your Own Fashion:
Act like a King to be treated like one

  The way you carry yourself will often determine how you  are treated; In the long run, appearing vulgar or common will make people  disrespect you.
For a king  respects himself and inspires the same sentiment in others.
By acting regally and confident of your powers, you make yourself seem  destined to wear a crown.

Law 35

Master the Art of Timing

Never seem to be in a hurry

Law 43

Work on the Hearts and Minds of Others

  Coercion creates a reaction that will eventually work  against you.
You must seduce  others into wanting to move in your direction.
A person you have seduced becomes your loyal pawn.
And the way to seduce others is to operate on their individual  psychologies and weaknesses.
Soften  up the resistant by working on their emotions, playing on what they hold dear  and what they fear.
Ignore the  hearts and minds of others and they will grow to hate you.

Law 44

Disarm and Infuriate with the Mirror Effect

  The mirror reflects reality, but it is also the perfect  tool for deception: When you mirror your enemies, doing exactly as they do,  they cannot figure out your strategy.
The  Mirror Effect mocks and humiliates them, making them overreact.
By holding up a mirror to their psyches, you seduce them with the  illusion that you share their values; by holding up a mirror to their actions,  you teach them a lesson.
Few can  resist the power of Mirror Effect.

Law 45

Preach the Need for Change, but Never Reform too much at Once

  Everyone understands the need for change in the  abstract, but on the day-to-day level people are creatures of habit.
Too much innovation is traumatic, and will lead to revolt.
If you are new to a position of power, or an outsider trying to build a  power base, make a show of respecting the old way of doing things.
If change is necessary, make it feel like a gentle improvement on the  past.

Law 46

Never appear too Perfect

  Appearing better than others is always dangerous, but  most dangerous of all is to appear to have no faults or weaknesses.
Envy creates silent enemies.
It  is smart to occasionally display defects, and admit to harmless vices, in  order to deflect envy and appear more human and approachable.
Only gods and the dead can seem perfect with impunity.

Law 47

Do not go Past the Mark you Aimed for; In Victory, Learn when to Stop

  The moment of victory is often the moment of greatest  peril.
In the heat of victory,  arrogance and overconfidence can push you past the goal you had aimed for, and  by going too far, you make more enemies than you defeat.
Do not allow success to go to your head.
There is no substitute for strategy and careful planning.
Set a goal, and when you reach it, stop.

Law 48

Assume Formlessness

  By taking a shape, by having a visible plan, you open  yourself to attack.
Instead of  taking a form for your enemy to grasp, keep yourself adaptable and on the  move.
Accept the fact that  nothing is certain and no law is fixed.
The  best way to protect yourself is to be as fluid and formless as water; never  bet on stability or lasting order.
Everything  changes.
