Never Outshine the MASTER "The 48 Laws of Powers" | Chazz Palminteri & Michael Franzese 

Thank you for reading my book and breaking it down for your listeners.

You need to do a part 2 about "The 48 Laws of Power". One of the best books ever written. Robert Greene is a Guinness.

Very good episode. Can you make a video on Robert Greene's other 5 books? 1. The Art of Seduction 2. The 33 Strategy of War 3. The 50th Law (50 Cent) 4. Mastery 5. The Laws of Human Nature

Having a rough day, this was the notification I needed, thank you gentlemen!

What a conversation gents, incredible insights 👏💯

Great insights 👍🏽👍🏽. Can we talk about the phrase “ hell hath no fury like a women scorned”

Confidence is not Arrogance, the Bank won't lend you money when you need money, the Bank will lend you money when you don't need money

You are just great. Both. With two kids, a husband, own company, sick mom and a million things on daily basic - I always find the time to watch you. And the same goes for books. Maybe it is hard to find one hour but to read 10 by 10 minutes per day... Can change the life. Mine definitely. Thank you! Keep on going, please!

Thank you gentlemen my next suggestion would be meditations by Marcus Arelious

“It was a horror film that didn’t scare anyone apart from me” 😂 A classic line from Mr Franzese! Thank you sir for your ongoing wisdom. Been a fan from your first RU-vid video and enjoying this new content with mr Palminteri

It's always so good to hear this two. I'm glad you two became good friends.

When I first left school (UK) and started work, my dad said to me pointing to his mouth "Keep this shut" and then pointing to his ears said "And keep these open and you won't go far wrong" and that is something I have tried to follow in my 70yrs on this earth. Thank you Michael & Chazz for all your hard work putting together these great videos. God Bless.

I love how they use their life experiences and combine that with the information of the books they read and then package it down to bite sized pieces for the rest of us to use in our own lives. Loving the content so far guys keep it up 🙌🏼🙏🏼

I absolutely adore both you guys! I'm so happy you two have teamed up to help folks be a wise person!!

I bought this book 📖 back in 2006, sun Tzu, art of war, Machiavellian tactics,

Thank you Micheal and Chazz, truly like listening to 2 dads dishing out great wisdom

I love how you are creating unique content. Thanks for sharing.

I’m a firm believer in keeping your enemies close, but keep your friends closer. You know what to expect from your enemies, but it’s your friends who are usually giving you a hug while stabbing you in the back.

48 laws of power is such a strong book that it is banned in most prisons. I was fortunate to get a copy while i was serving a 5 year sentence. It is one of the most powerful books ever written. Love this podcast ! Keep up the good work fellas

Please review the old testament book 📖 eye 👁️ for an eye 👁️ tooth 🦷 for a tooth 🦷. God loves blood 🩸

I read that when I was in jail, and its a great book. Halfway through reading it, it was taken away from me and 2 other guys that had copies, because they said it could insight violence

Glad I discovered this channel.

Thank you immensely for this collaboration your experiences and words are so incredibly helpful. Sending much appreciation to you both. Thanks for being here.

You’re all having a large influence. 2 major bookstores (2nd and Charles and Barnes and Nobles) now have book stands with the book up and are selling them for $38 a copy…. They were not there last week… I myself went looking for the novel but instead I found inflatable due to the rising popularity due to your words. Great for the book and those willing to pay the price. I ordered it on Amazon for $13. Can’t wait to dive in. Thank you

Fantastic recap! Reminded me a lot of Xenophon's Cyrus the Great: The Arts of Leadership and War You all rock and God bless!

This got good. You guys are amazing. 👍 Teaching how to keep a level head when attacked behind your back...wow. 🙏

Badaboom Badabing !

48 laws of power is a heavy book. It can be used for good and for bad. The good side is to avoid traps set by cunning and manipulating people and to avoid or to deal with them. The bad can be used to do the opposite which is manipulation of people, stealthy tactics, lying, cheating and thinking outside the box. The best thing about the book is that it uses historical references and stories to cement why the specific law works or is required to be followed. So the laws work as it's got proof to reference to it.

This first law....maybe only applies to mob movies. Or.. when u just getting started in something and u act like u above them. In this case... your boss. But if I make it early on by pure luck or well.. by working smart not hard, then what.. I should lay down and not pass my boss and be no 1? I should work for someone all my life when I can have my own building? I am better music producer then my idol and mentor but I should treat myself like im not better always gave them credit? Hell no... we only live once if i can be king of the world im gonna be that... and that doesn't mean I should hurt someone or make someone feel bad. Who made all these rules? I can show love and respect my boss while sitting above him and even send him money every month right 😂 now for me that's better perspective. Respect ones who u working for but if u can feel ur growth and talent and stuff happened... and u outshine that person then.. don't feel bad. Let that "boss" be your worker.

This is a good way not to go ballistic at complete bastardry : King James Version 21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

I put my friend on this book and my friend is forever grateful. I truly love this book and part 2 about the 48 laws of power is needed and even a part 3 if possible

I’m still trying to finish the Viktor Frankl book 😂. Can’t wait to read these books as well. You guys actually got me reading real books again and it is really grounding. At 52 had to get some readers, but I so happy and these books are so helpful. Keep it up guys!

If we haven’t God in our side life is worse than difficult.

Ya catch more flys with honey than vinegar....👍

Bronx Tale sequel? Could be the Best sequel!

The "selective honesty" one is a good one. I had a boss once who said it's not always good to be brutally honest. Same thing.

Thank you guys so much for doing this it really helps alot

GOODshowFELLAS!!!!

Man this is refreshing! In this age we need more shows like this. Real Class REAL MEN!!!

You guys should read the book of 1st Samuel

When I saw the face of Mr. Palminteri and Mr. Franzese, I automatically hit the Subscribe button. I know I can never be wrong watching them dissecting The 48 Laws of Power.

Chazz your real personality you’re very educated and Cult, but when you play a Mob guy man you’re like the real thing you’re great, that’s why you’re a great actor.

great video watchen right now god bless be safe there!!!!!!

Here's one for yous both.Mr Franzese,,Mr Palmintrei,..A lie can be half way across the world before the truth has got its boots on..

God bless u chazz and Michael u both are great story tellers awesome ( now yous cant leave)

I love the show, guys! Always very interesting and informative! Best wishes to you both!

Been watching your content for a while Michael. The way you talk, behave and react in conversations, it all resembles my former boss and my dad. Both of them in the absolute top of their fields. They both had a public side, that would communicate very carefully and never show their "hand" so to say. They would talk just as much as required and rest of the time you could see they are in a way gathering information. They wouldn't openly argue in a group setting with someone if they disagreed, but let the other person talk. Their private sides were relentless in anything they did, and things would go their way by force if not otherwise. This is just an observation. Thought it's interesting how these characteristics pop up in very different settings and on the other side of the globe

A Bronx Tale has always been one of my goto comfort movies for some reason. You guys are doing an amazing job, love the content!

❤

Hello Michael and Chazz! You are my favourite tea time buddies. I look forward to learning more useful tips. Best wishes! ☕️🫖☕️

Much love to you two gentleman. Needed this today, appreciate everything you two do 🙏🏾

The manner in which you two elobrate and explain the finer points of the books is matchless. Can't wait for the the next sit-down. Thanks

Thank you Michael and Chazz for your wisdom 😊❤🎉

I'm a computer programmer and what Mr Franzese says at 8:41 happened to me at my first job which I lost it because of this. man this channel is full of life lessons.

Newly subscribed to this channel 😎. Actually Armand Assante looks even more like a mobster over Chazz. Especially on " American Gangster" and " Gotti" but Chazz played it great on " A Bronx Tale"...all great actors. Keep up the great content fellas 😎

Selective honesty can be a powerful tool & you can use simple psychology to make it work. Saying to someone "I wouldn't tell anyone this, but seeing as it's you, it's ok, I know you won't repeat it" & impart some useless information to them, can be surprisingly effective. They will concentrate on what you said about them, not the information & it makes them feel special that you chose them. It's a good way of making allies & you will get information off them that may be useful.

48 POWERS OF LAW IS DOPE!!!!!! THANKS GUYS…. MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT

You guys are great! I so enjoy your channel! Thanks!

Always a pleasure to hear you gentleman. Love the stories. My late Mama was a native New Yorker. She was there 30s-Late 50s. She told great stories too. Iam a Southern gal, mom and dad moved South in the very early 60s. I was the last child, so I didn't experience NYC.🙏💕👍

Reading this book atm. The world has always and will always need wise men. Thanks guys from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I’m so freaking happy our attention went away from Cinema and Hollywood to actual people who have gone thru hell in the real world in order to help us with what’s going on in todays world. We need men like this to go on these talk shows/podcasts n start showing us how it’s done, from meet n greets to talking business to approaching a man like a man. Gods working thru you guys %100 bless you all 🙏🏽

Great job guys!

Awesome, would you also share thoughts on remaining 48laws of power

Now we talking 😎

Thank you Michael and and Have so much to tell you and thank Jesus the Christ my Savior for this 🙏 spirituality connection ❤😂🎉😢❤ I would love to compare our stories past. You guys would love this Spirit journey Tragic love reality 💔 and Walking in my Faith Sharing our families true 👍 life

Great content, Thank you for the discussion I love it. New subscriber here.

I always thought that Virgil Solozzo from the Godfather had the best "death stare" in th movies. Then along comes Chazz Palmintiere. Damn! Check out Chazz in "The Bronx Tale," "Hurley Burley,""Bullets Over Broadway,"..Then "Mullholland Falls." Nick Nolte and Chazz in that plane with the late great Treat Williams. "You threw her out of the plane?" Chazz screaming, Nolte screaming. But laughing as they survive the plane crash. Perfect! Awesome!

Excellent, as always, sometimes I prefer watching RU-vid More than TV nowadays

God bless you micheal you always bring up conversations that makes you think and not only entertain. Very few people these days that speaks truth and are educated about life

That book basically describes a bipolar person. That's what we do, except... If a few things are added in then the 3 don't apply. Cross out a few lines and substitute and that's literally us. Do no harm but yeah.

Hey Chazz!!!! I'm not sure if you're up for another movie!? But could YOU, Deniro, Pesci, and Pacino team up for a final gangster movie!? One we've never seen but need to hear of!? I could see you playing Dellecroce #Please think about it!

Wow. Discovered this super combo today. Greatings from Norway 😀🇧🇻

I saw Mr. Palmenteri performing his one-man show of "A Bronx Tale" in the Westwood Theatre on the Brentwood section of Los Angeles, and he was fantastic. Growing up in the Morris Park section of the Bronx, his performance brought back a lot of memories of the Arthur Avenue/Fordham Road section of the Bronx!

Wherever I sit is the head of the table. Great point. When I ran my organization, I would sit in a non dominant chair position and watch to see if anyone made a point to take the so-called head position. They thought they had gained some advantage, but they just gave away a lot about themselves. Had to fire a woman who was full of herself, and she pulled that thinking she would dominate the discussion. She was going to be fired at the end of it, so sit wherever you want……….

You know my mother didn't have much education but the sayings you brought up is ehat she drilled in out hedd from s young age. Such as keep your friends vlose but your enemies closer. That one served me well in my working years. Ireated them wel even though I knew they taslked behind my back,but never said a word. My supervisor who I knew as a friend before I joined his dept. was one of them, and I could have hung jim out to dry many times, but didn't. Also when the CEO and other executives started sending accolades to the head of my dept. I gained his respect as well as my supervisor and my coworkers. But I never bragged about the extra perks or envelopes of cash at Christmas time asa thank you from them I was a lowly security officer that didn't make much money, but getting a dollar more an hr was a big deal for me! When football season came the CEO would give me his tickets and his private parking pass where the VIPs parked. That eas s big deal! Here in the south football is everything! Ehen I retired they had a party and gave me a paque that commended me for my imtegrety, loyalty and work ethic that I set a great example for others! I always gave 200 percent even when I was only making minimum wages. By the way I worked at a very big Hospital in SC where security officers are a dime a dozen!😂 The turnover rate is horrible because of pay. I stayed for 23.5 years. And the told me if I ever wanted yo come back I would be hired right away, at 67 years old and a woman at that! I jad to retire because my husband had just been told he had 4 mos. To live. After 43 years I wanted to spend every last minute eith him,! By the way, I started at age 43.Oy eas scary to start a new professionaln at my age but I dd I did it ! I now have a pension that supplements my social security also. Life is what you make it!

With all due respect you didn’t even cover the rules themselves let alone give a proper “gist” of the book! This is one of the richest books ever. From all the life lessons to history that was never taught in school.. Man I appreciate you guys talking about it but you did not do it justice

I love this book…my favorites, avoid the unhappy and unlucky…and make it look easy, whatever it is, make it look effortless because if it looks hard it diminishes the accomplishment. Chazz you not mentioning it to the critic is an Invisible Act of Power, Caroline Myss, another favorite book of mine. To your sit down question, for me as a boss, it’s easy, my litmus test…is this a mistake or a pattern? People beat themselves up enough on mistakes, I don’t need to address, but patterns require a “come to Janice” meeting. ❤

Exactly, Chazz. Michael u guys hit the nail on the head. Spot on. I can boldly say that's what happened to Salvie Testa. He tried to outshine Nicky Scarfo & they whacked him

True power is understanding and implementing objective morality in Natural Law. Mark Passio

Heck yes I hit subscribe for you two. Great topic. Robt. Greene's book should be required reading for any one setting out in life. Keep up your great work. I'm now a regular viewer on RU-vid.

As an example about the lying... don't ask your husband if this outfit makes me look fat (he will probably lie to protect your feelings) ask what do you think about this? Or what I say to mine... is this a yes or no...he will normally say not my favorite or that looks really good on you. The example you gave about a person lying to protect their kid...it would depend on what they did and then they would still have to face some kind of consequence to learn right from wrong.

Man, I love this podcast. I recommend it to my colleagues here in Japan

I got this book a long time ago and honestly I was disappointed. It's essentially 48 ways to manipulate people or be fake. Wasn't for me.

I realized something disturbing tonight, if I had a child with Jules, it would look like Michael, this can never happen, we can never bring another Michael into this world, it would destroy civilization as we know it.

Hey, have any YOU both ever seen a "Ghost," or "UFO?" Or heard stories about someone you guys know seen a "Ghost," or "UFO?"

If you had a active father, uncle or positive figure growing up who imparted knowledge of this level and you still havent changed your mindset for the grind, its your fault. Respect to the elders ;)

The 48 laws of power is just watered down Machiavelli. Just read the prince. The whole “ don’t outshine the master” is a paraphrase of “ he who is the cause of another becoming powerful is ruined. This is because that success has been brought about either by cleverness or by force, and both are distrusted by the person who has been raised to power.”

A suggested book The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho This book can be read at different times in our life & will have a whole different slant. Louise

Chazz shud have been casted as THE CHIN GIGANTE🔥🔥🔥

Some of the “laws” I don’t agree with but it’s a really good book

The first 3 books on my shelf are 48 Laws of Power, Mastery & 33 Strategies of War. I keep them at the front for easy access as I always go back to them.

I normally don’t leave comments I’ve been reading this book for well over 10 years and I’m curious about where I can find that 3rd law “ make the illusion of your power greater than your reality “ it starts at 20:50 I was familiar with the other 4 easy can I get some help please

I’d love to listen to an over view of think and grow rich by you. Currently half way and still skeptical about the idea of autosuggestion, but so far a very informative read.

A Bronx Tale is a true American classic!!!

Thank you so much guys. Its a delight to listening to you.

You can never know too much? Well, where I come from careful with cluttering the mind. Prioritize and let the details come as infinite as they are.

Guys this amazing! I love this podcast!!!! More more more!!!!!
