assume formlessness – law 48 – #48laws by robert greene

Posted on 27 November 201430 January 2013 By antipaucity No Comments on assume formlessness – law 48 – #48laws by robert greene

Law 48 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…

do not go past the mark you aimed for; in victory, learn when to stop – law 47 – #48laws by robert greene

Posted on 13 November 201412 March 2013 By antipaucity No Comments on do not go past the mark you aimed for; in victory, learn when to stop – law 47 – #48laws by robert greene

Law 47 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…

never appear too perfect – law 46 – #48laws by robert greene

Posted on 27 October 201430 January 2013 By antipaucity No Comments on never appear too perfect – law 46 – #48laws by robert greene

Law 46 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…

preach the need for change, but never reform too much at once – law 45 – #48laws by robert greene

Posted on 13 October 201430 January 2013 By antipaucity No Comments on preach the need for change, but never reform too much at once – law 45 – #48laws by robert greene

Law 45 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…

disarm and infuriate with the mirror effect – law 44 – #48laws by robert greene

Posted on 27 September 201430 January 2013 By antipaucity No Comments on disarm and infuriate with the mirror effect – law 44 – #48laws by robert greene

Law 44 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…

work on the hearts and minds of others – law 43 – #48laws by robert greene

Posted on 13 September 201430 January 2013 By antipaucity No Comments on work on the hearts and minds of others – law 43 – #48laws by robert greene

Law 43 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…

strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter – law 42 – #48laws by robert greene

Posted on 27 August 201430 January 2013 By antipaucity No Comments on strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter – law 42 – #48laws by robert greene

Law 42 Trouble can often be traced to a single strong individual – the stirrer, the arrogant underling, the poisoner of goodwill. If you allow such people room to operate, others will succumb to their influence. Do not wait for the troubles they cause to multiply, do not try to negotiate with them – they…
