How/why do you use the 48 Laws of Power?

Okay, so this is with anything. You can be a technical master and still fuck shit up because you're having computational errors, burning out your brain looking for gaps to exploit.

Or, you can read them. Re read them. Practice a little. Think about where you got it wrong. Rinse, repeat. This is internalizing.

The first example is BEING in someone's frame in order to manipulate them. Aka Feminine beta bitch behavior.

The other takes a tactical mind that understands, just like the gym, instant gratification is for weak bitches. Aka Masculine, intelligent behavior.

So onto your question. There's 48 tools. Pick ones that looks interesting for you to play with. Flail around, fly it around like airplane, smash it against the wall and generally have fun with it. This will help you divide and conquer while you internalize these Laws of Power, ONE AT A TIME.

In other words how do you apply them in your life?

Primarily as a deterrent. I have a strong moral compass for those I deem upright and those who've done well by me. Screwing people over is a petty and short-sighted approach, alas sometimes it needs to be done. When you become the target of subterfuge, you must know it to recognize what's being done to you & devise timely countermeasures.

If people know that trying to fuck you over comes with a heavy price, 99% of them won't try: this applies to physical violence, emotional violence, business competition & most other things in life. Peace through superior firepower.

Dont memorize, internalize.

Read a law and as you dont constantly think about ways you can apply it. Rack your brain and come up with as many ways as you can. Then think about how the law can be used against you. Then rack your brain some more and think of bow politicians and business men have used the law and could use them. Try to think of new and interesting ways to use it.

In addition make sure to take good notes on each law. Once the book is finished review your notes for a few minutes each morning when you wake up. Pick a new law every morning and again think deeply about it.

After a short while you wont be able to read the news, watch TV, or read a boom without seeing the laws thats being used. In under a year you will not only have memorized the laws you will have obtained a deep understanding of them as well.

Something else that helped me was to read biographies on past and present people of power and point out anytime they use a law of power. Its helps to reinforce them further in your mind.
