Into the book
In the world of power, there are jungle dynamics.
While some people make a living by hunting and killing their own prey, there are also those who make a living by eating prey hunted by others (like hyenas or eagles).
Those in the latter category often lack imagination and are unable to create power.
But they learned early on that if they just waited patiently, they could find another animal to take their place.
You shouldn't be naive.
Because right now, while you're working your butt off on some project, eagles are circling overhead, trying to figure out how to feed your creativity—or even grow from it.
Complaining about this reality or trying to be cruel with a heavy heart is of no use.
It's better to protect yourself and participate in the game.
Once you have established a foundation of power, become an eagle yourself and save time and energy.
---p.507 (Law 38: Let others do the work, and take the credit for yourself)
Control your desire to brag and boast.
It has the opposite effect to what you might think.
Remember.
The more mystique surrounds your actions, the more powerful your power becomes.
Make it seem like you're the only one who can do it.
There is tremendous power in appearing to have a talent that no one else has.
Finally, if you appear to do things with grace and ease, people will believe that with just a little more effort, you can accomplish amazing things.
Furthermore, it makes you afraid.
Your power becomes infinite.
Because no one can measure your limits.
---p.229 (Law 17: Pretend to achieve results without much effort)
Power requires the ability to play with appearances.
To do this, you must use many masks and carry a bag full of deceptive strategies.
Deception and pretense should not be considered ugly or unethical.
It means that you have multiple faces and you have to take out the mask you need for that day and that moment and wear it.
By taking such a flexible approach to all appearances, including your own, you can free yourself from a great deal of inner burden.
Practice the art of creating ever-changing faces like an actor, concealing your true intentions, and luring your opponents into traps.
Playing with appearances and mastering the art of deception is one of life's aesthetic pleasures.
It is also a key means of gaining power.

Publisher's Review
Analyzing 3,000 years of trial and error, it contains the core and insights of power.
Robert Greene's "Resurrected Machiavelli": The Bible of Power!
Robert Greene's masterpiece, "The Art of War"! _ Translated into 20 languages, a million-seller (revised and complete edition)
This book, "The Laws of Power," is a masterpiece by Robert Greene, author of the 2007 bestseller "The Art of War," and is a book that strips bare the ultimate key to human relationships: power, and makes it your own.
Robert Greene, a world-renowned mentor in the art of power and a reinterpreter of Machiavelli's insights, speaks directly to the essence of power and how to acquire and maintain it.
To this end, we closely analyze the successes and failures of countless figures over the past three thousand years, from Tokugawa Ieyasu to Mao Zedong and Henry Kissinger.
The author says that those who try to be good alone are doomed to destruction, and tells us to look straight at the way the world works and the truth behind it.
"The Laws of Power," which shines even brighter in these turbulent times, is the ultimate "power scripture" that you must read if you want to survive in the jungle of power and gain insight into how to acquire, maintain, and exert power.
The ultimate insight into how to seize, maintain, and exert power!
Power is the only truth in this world.
Power exists not only in the workplace, where power games take place dozens of times a day, but also in gatherings of friends and happy families.
The absurd endings of love and friendship become clear when viewed through the lens of power, and power relations underlie people's unreasonable kindness and hatred.
Only when viewed from the perspective of 'power' does the world reveal all truth and become transparent.
This book, "The Laws of Power," is a book that strips bare this eternal concern, the ultimate key to human relationships, and makes it your own.
Robert Greene, a world-renowned mentor in the art of power and a reinterpreter of Machiavelli's insights, speaks directly to the essence of power and how to acquire and maintain it.
From Hanfeizawa and Ieyasu to Mao Zedong and Kissinger
Strategies of those who survived the jungle and rose to the top
Robert Greene's mega-bestseller, "The Laws of Power," which has been translated into 20 languages and sold over a million copies, is a masterpiece that can be called a modern-day "The Prince."
In this masterpiece, Robert Greene meticulously analyzes the successes and failures of countless figures from the past three thousand years, from Tokugawa Ieyasu to Mao Zedong and Henry Kissinger.
Through this, Robert Greene, the 'resurrected Machiavelli', shows the know-how known only to the greatest power holders in history by organizing it into 48 laws.
If you don't take it,
Someone else will grab your hand and control you!
If you can't avoid it, you should know for sure so you don't get hurt.
The author says that those who try to be good alone are doomed to destruction, and tells us to look straight at the way the world works and the truth behind it.
The more chaotic the times, the more the "Laws of Power" shines. If you want to survive in the jungle of power, if you want everything to go your way, this is the "scripture of power" you must read and master.
