  I understand and utilize power games at times. My goal is not to obtain power but to decouple myself from people who pursue power and to be left the fuck alone. I don’t want to pull strings, and I don’t want strings attached to me.

  Some of these are for you to do, some to recognize when others are doing them

  This isn&apos;t about being dangerous. It&apos;s about being competent.

  Finished the book. While it&apos;s important to learn different perspectives, I think VERY FEW people should follow these principles. If you are a &quot;win at all costs&quot; kind of person that doesn&apos;t mind getting your hands dirty and hurting innocent people, then sure this book is for you. <br> <br>Even if you are that kind of person, there are two major issues I have with this book: <br>1) It doesn&apos;t focus on teamwork whatsoever. It&apos;s a SHARP contrast to a book like Extreme Ownership, where Navy Seal operatives always take blame for any team failure. In many cases, the team/company/business has to beat others; teamwork is ABSOLUTELY imperative in those cases. If a team of people who believe in 48 Laws competed against a team of people who believe in Extreme Ownership, I&apos;m betting on the second team all day. <br>2) It doesn&apos;t factor in survivorship bias. The stories in this book are only success stories (or failures when people break the rules). I&apos;m sure many, many believed in the principles and lost their careers or even lives (blaming others for everything, always hogging the success, being deceptive around others, etc). However, the failures never make it to stories we hear, only successes do.

  &quot;Seeking power is like drinking sea water... The more you drink, the thirstier you get&quot;. This is at least good to know as a reference for wisdom.

  If you base your whole personality on just these rules then you’ll be like an empty vessel that’s achieved power. You have to mix these with the book of five ring, and know when to turn these on and off. That way you can still be a good person that has skills that you can use at any given moment

  Law 7 and 26 - take credit for other&apos;s work. I see this all the time, the loud manager/executive demands work faster, take unnecessary risk, yells a lot, reduces staff resources to save money then takes credit for getting the major task done. If the decisions of the manager/executive causes unacceptable consequences, the workers are blamed

  Hardly laws. Just the obvious things you can do if you don&apos;t mind being a psychopathic monster. Most of us aren&apos;t monsters by default, but most of us are controlled by them.

  You get what you ask for. Power isn’t as great as it looks like from the outside. If it all goes to shit, they only have one person to point to. Everyone secretly hates your guts. Long hours. Stress. Backstabbers. Lazy employees. Lawsuits. Up and comers looking at your chair. <br>Make sure you know what you’re getting into because these things are tough to get out of once you’ve achieved it. It’s not like you can just take a week off anytime you want.
