it seems to me if people are using these laws, its pretty hard to compete with them. since good people aren't willing to use these laws, we should still know about them. to guard against and recognize the people using them. ive bought the book, and am going to post these laws. I figure the path to true success is to do the exact opposite. this book wasn't written out of love and a desire to improve the lives of his fellow man. it was written to destroy.

That's kind of what the book Mastery is about, actually. He discusses the trials and tribulations great masters have on their way to success. Much better than 48 laws, which was just "meh" IMHO.

There's an audiobook version floating around pootube. You can listen to it when you're doing squats. :)

naw, i'm taking my time with this one. it actually has great information and principles to live by, if you do the exact opposite as it advises.

Well, you may want to follow the stuff it says, but not necessarily for the reasons it suggests it. It's not a bad book, so good on you for keeping with it.

The root of the word Empowerment is power. Definitely strive for empowerment. That way you can be a better steward than someone else who would take power. But, often being "empowered" doesn't necessarily mean you'll have your name on the door (as you'll see with many of the 48 lessons).

Good luck with the reading.

the only power I'm interested in is the power to defend and provide for myself and those I love.
