Read Daniel's notes about The Daily Laws on the booksense app
open booksense →I always look for timeless wisdom and ideas.
Robert Greene’s books fall in that category.
48 Laws of Power The Art of Seduction Mastery 33 Strategies of War Laws of Human Nature
And now a short summary of those ideas in The Daily Laws. One idea per page. 366 of them.
In the Power section you read ideas like: “Never Outshine The Master”, “Always Say Less Than Necessary”, “Make the Master Feel Glorious and Superior”, “Seem Dumber Than Your Mark”, “Judge Them on Their Behavior, Not Their Words”, “Don’t Mistake Extra Conviction for Truth”…
In the Strategy section you read ideas like: “Divide and Conquer”, “The Piecemeal Strategy”, “Hit from Unexpected Angles”, “Create Maximum Disorder”, “Plan All the Way to the End”…
In the Human Nature section you read ideas like: “Beware the Fragile Ego”, “Think for Yourself”, “Change Your Circumstances by Changing Your Attitude”, “Create Mental Space from the Group”, “Examine Your Emotions to Their Roots”, “Resist Simple Explanations”, “Practice Mitfreude”, “Transform Self-Love into Empathy”, “Assume You’re Misjudging the People Around You”, …
Needless to say, how much I admire his work. I really enjoyed this one. I managed to read several ideas each morning before I go to work.
Happy Reading! 📙
