The 48 Laws of Power

1. Writing a manual on how to manipulate, hurt,and "conquer" others for selfish intent. Is disgustingly vile. Shame on you. This material needs to be regulated. Coming from a manipulator and a narcissist myself. I had to be shown from other narcissists to be aware of what I was doing to people. Using hatred and selfish conquest over another only feeds the fire that continues the way we treat each other. This book fuels a paradigm that devolves humanity and the love that is inside of us all. In the right hands and with good intentions to help defend against others yes however it needs to be reviewed together. Deceptive and dishonesty creates a black hole. Nothing escapes. Not even light.

If I could I would give this zero stars. This book is a disgusting example of the lack of humanity that we are now experiencing in our world. It teaches individuals to use one another and manipulate to get what you want. It also encourages people to assume the worst about one another prior to investigation. This book is for a person who is not intelligent enough to reason for themselves and/or lacks basic human decency.

First off, this is a very good read and is very enlightening. Based on the portions I have read so far I'd definitely recommend it. That said, this digital version is lacking in a few key areas: there's no read aloud available (I like to listen to books while in the car), and the layout is fairly annoying compared to the hard copy. The physical book has lots of side notes that are in the page margins, however here the side notes are just interjected mid-paragraph into the text and it's very distracting when reading. I would not purchase this version again.
