It is the end result of 2 years of animating all chapters condensed for your viewing pleasure. Surely, you've heard the phrase "Hate the game, not the player." I'm exposing the game and the players for you. Being honest and speaking the truth has been a punishing and not at all rewarding experience, since most people will always shoot the messenger. I aim to raise awareness and arm the clueless for self-protection. I am not advocating becoming a manipulating and ruthless sociopath. I can't respect those who don't understand the difference. It's a self-improvement book, not the work of the devil. Robert Greene is all about intense realism. Seeing things for what they are, whether you like the truth or not. Hopefully you'll find the video helpful, learn from it and share it with others. I've received plenty of messages from good people claiming it changed their lives for the better. Don't let others use and abuse you. Don't live in a fantasy land. Be cautious. Read this book or don't. *It's up to you.* Anyhow, thank you for watching. If you like the summary, consider getting the book - amzn.to/1SRVIXS Access the full archive for 7$ & download exclusive content at gumroad.com/l/illacertus. _____ *Please note* 1. The laws are not rules. They're general principles. They're situational and not instructional. 2. You disagree with the term "laws"? Tell Robert Greene, the author, who disagrees with you. 3. The laws are separate. They're not meant to be harmonious. This is obvious. 4. Law 48 - Sparta won the Peloponnesian war with Athens. I'm speaking of Sparta's collapse / economic defeat. 5. "The book is evil." - Is the book not merely a reflection of what human beings are like? 6. "The book should be banned." You belong to the people who would've burnt books back in the day. 7. Psychopaths / sociopaths do not need to read in order to become what they are. It's their nature. 8. The author's intent, my intent is to speak the truth. Deny it all you want. It's a weak mind that runs from reality. 9. Almost all the laws have a reversal, which I have included in plenty of other videos on my channel. 10. This is but a short summary of the book to make you curious. It's not a substitute. I recommend reading it. 11. This is not advocating bad behavior. This is a dojo teaching self-protection from the very people you condemn. 12. Fools shoot the messenger. It's a damn shame RU-vid comment sections are generally avoided by the intelligent for obvious reasons. Try to understand before you perpetuate outrage culture. I am not an atheist. I am not an agnostic. I do not believe in a man sitting in the cloud, a religion a 5 year old could debunk. I very much like Nassim Nicholas Taleb's and Dr. Jordan B. Peterson's views on the matter, but I've also digested Sam Harris, Richard Dawkins' and Christopher Hitchens work. I love the idea of en-theos, the god within, also referenced a lot by Ralph Waldo Emerson. All of them are intellectuals I respect a lot. All of them speak of virtues, morals and principles, which I live my life by. I love my neighbors and this is how I help them. I invite you to be more open-minded. Careful, when you try to reprimand me without understanding what I'm doing here, because I do not tolerate virtue-signaling hypocrites who take the moral high ground and claim to be superior only to insult the innocent of crimes the hypocrites are committing. People who take a shit on the street, when no one sees them, then proceed to attack their neighbors for spitting in their own bathroom sink. I'd rather you listened carefully, since I am here to learn and teach. Nothing good will come from you holding on to your delusions. *"Nature has made up her mind that what cannot defend itself shall not be defended."* - R. W.

The 48 Laws of Power in 3 sentences: "Talk less. Smile more. Let no one know what you're against or what you're for."

Law #51: when requesting money from your parents, always ask for more than you intend. If they say that's too much, ask for the original price

“Law #4: Always say less than necessary.” No words or description. Perfect

Rule 49: never tell your family and friends that you have read 48 laws of power

this video makes you realise that the world has been most influenced by intelligent psychopaths

Just remember that these laws are pretty much made for politicians and business people in their cutthroat environments not for talking to your girlfriend lmao

48 laws of power : Make friends with your enemies Also the 48 laws of power: “Crush your enemies totally”

1. Say less than needed 2. Strike the leader when opressed 3. Stay mysterious 4. Observe people, they might do harm 5. Look strong while weak, look weak while strong 6. Reputation is important 7. Never look better than the master 8. Be honest when expected to be dishonest to your enemies 9. Win arguements through actions, not words 10. Don't offend the wrong person 11. Don't get isolated from others 12. Profit from unpredicability 13. Keep thoughts to self, behave like others 14. Absence can turn into honor

"Being openly smart is foolish and being openly foolish is smart"

If you’re afraid, don’t do it If you’re going to do it, do not be afraid - Mongolian proverb

You should win an award just for how elegant and precise you pronounced these french name

The "The 48 Laws of Power" should only be used on those who try to use them on you, not on unsuspecting and genuine people. If you use these tactics on genuine people, it is then you will be an evil person who will reap mass amounts of bad Karma. This is Universal and Spiritual Law 101.

I think the most unsettling thing about these rules is many of them we know, but had to learn the hard way.

"What you tolerate is what you end up with."

I worked at a place where people are constantly at each other's throats. Many leave and cant handle the toxicity. It was thanks t this book i mamaged to stay away from these people as much as possible and still keep my job.

Law #0: Master all 48 laws and when asked, tell them you don't know about these laws. So then they will use these laws against you and you are able to easily dodge and counter all attacks. When asked again if you really don't know about the law, just say you got lucky.

Rule 49: Give your enemies a book of 48 contradictory laws to debilitate them.

Bravo! Finally someone who realizes this book is for DEFENSE against those who use for offense.

For the past 5 years, I was totally heartbroken. Running after my ex make me lose my value and focuses. In 2022, I accidentally opened the book of 48 lows of power and discovered that my ex used these lows against me. If I would have read this book long time ago, many bad things happened might not happen. Thanks Lord that I read it now.

You're the first person to mention all the 48 laws on RU-vid and the idea of the graphics is great, you deserve all the credit. Thanks for the video❤

" Beware of those who claim to speak the truth yet are intolerant of criticism for the truth is never offended by examination". - Nicholas Frankos - Greek Philosopher.

"A true master is an eternal student" - Master Yi

Law #16 was proven and tested People who are rarely show up and interacted with others sometimes received the most highest respect.

This is insanely well made

No matter what you may think of this, understanding will at least help you from becoming a victim of the ruthless.

I'm learning more on the internet than I'm learning in school

What’s crazy is a lot of these I found out on my own through life experience. Like the importance of not saying too much and knowing when to stay away, etc..

Law 49: do not discuss the laws of power

Law #4 Always say less than necessary.....*silence* lmao

I love your voice and the background music chosen here. Thank you so much for making this summary.

This book is amazing! I’ve used a lot of the laws in my life and with my Human Resources career. I use this book when I do career coaching or HR consulting with individual clients that need assistance in the workplace.

Dwell on the past and lose an eye, forget the past and lose both. -Russian Proverb

I'm ready to play Civilization in hard mode now

Very well made! Thanks a lot for all that thought and effort behind it!

I just love what they did there with the"always say less than necessary" that was very smooth

my friend read this book and started acting like an asshole had to have an intervention

"It is better to live one day as a lion than a hundred years as a sheep." - Italian proverb

This video provides a comprehensive overview of the 48 Laws of Power, explaining each law in detail and providing examples of how it has been used throughout history. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about this influential book.

I can tell you put a lot of work into this, so well done. I know English isn’t your first language, which makes this all the more impressive. Additionally, the cartoons are really fun and make the video a lot less serious, which makes it easier to pay attention to. Though I think you missed some of the points, I still find your work stellar.

"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority it is time to pause and reflect"

3:37 This law deadass got me out of an arrest one time. car was getting searched for 2 oz. of weed,(illegal where I am) as soon as the cop came close I adverted his attention and confessed about where the gun was (legal) this changed his whole mindset and he totally forgot he smelled weed and it became all about my gun at that point lol

I’m speechless. What a remarkably amazing video.

I love that the videos just starts😅 without any intro or anything👍🏼

Humble does not equal - weak In contrast - having healthy self confidence does not mean egotistical.

What i find most interesting is that many of these laws contradict each other, you cant simply remember to do all of these things all the time but rather choose carefully, consider which tactics best suit the situation and target.

As insightful as this is I must say I learned at a young age many of these things through either things that happened to me, mistakes I made, my mom schooling me or just by being quiet and observant. But with that said there are the last few that I've been awakened to recently by living those lessons. Which in hindsight I realize that you do face the same lessons again and again until you master them. I wanted to go to the library yesterday to get this book but kids weren't on it and now I don't have to. Guess the universe felt my vibe. has to be cuz I never spoke a word to no one that I wanted to read this. 💫💜

Hey man. awesome work. I enjoyed a lot the animation and the whole narrative. blessings and thank you for sharing knowledge

law 49: Know what law to apply.

Even if you're not using this, it is used upon you. You should learn when it's the case.

I was thoroughly impressed with this video. The production value is top-notch and the subject matter was presented in a clear and engaging way. Your hard work and dedication definitely shows. Keep up the amazing work!😀

In a nutshell, the most important learning I take from this book and that can be applied to all situations: be mindful that everybody wants to be considered valuable and special. All of us feel insecure. So if you want to get along with people and live free of trouble, watch you words and behaviour, because you might unadvertantly convey you don´t respect or value the person you are talking to. You don´t need to overact this. Just look into the eye, listen, and choose your words.

Everyone in the comments is so fast to call this manipulative,”blasphemous”,cruel and abusive. All Mr. Greene did was look throughout history and compose FACTS that set these leaders apart from average joe. I think all knowledge is good ie now your all the wiser if you see this being acted out. Long point short, it’s not the character portrayed in this story but the society that it was forged,honed,and perfected that should be troubling to these people. Knowledge is power. Stay united

Law #49 never teach the other 48 laws to your girlfriend

This is the best video I’ve ever watched in RU-vid! Thank you! Keep up the good work! 💯

Your animations are great piece of art, fabulous to look at.

“If you’re a fox, play the hare. If you’re the hare, play the fox.” -Pierce Brown, Golden Son

Amazing. Will help you become a more sophisticated Sociopath

It's amazing how you pronounce all names effortlessly. It's totally exquisite.

Things I like about this video: - EVERY law is explained in the best way -THERE'S video animation that makes us viewers to understand it -THE examples were explained -THINGS that had happened before in our lifes -MANIPULATION>>>>> -MIND blowing stories.

“Being openly smart is foolish, being openly foolish is smart.”

“I do not have to forgive my enemies, I have had them all shot” 😂😂

I can watch your stuff all day just wanna say your amazing keep going

Wow this was such an incredible video that is very helpful. Made me realize that I'm more powerful than i could ever imagine.

My favorite quote is “I don’t want to be on the chessboard, I don’t want to be a visible target, but I still want to win the game of power.”

Never outshine the master. People become jealous easily Never put too much trust in firends learn to use enemies. They’ll let you know when people talk behind your back. Always say less than necessary. The greatest knowledge is knowing you know nothing 🤫.

I still come and listen to this till this day best breakdown on the internet

I bought this book yesterday because I’m ready to go into adulthood prepared I’m only 20 and I’m already tired of life and people on this earth I needed this to continue living in a world which is very different from me unfortunately I have to learn the ways of the world in order to live comfortably in it .

Remember people the 48 laws were made for us to protect ourselves from the evil and the wicked.

"be humble or be humbled" I like that

Some laws in this video might not be suitable for other people but it was all undeniably interesting and knowledgeable. Watching this makes us think that a simple act (for us now a days) could be resulted to something complicated.

ferb's ancestors

This book is a gift to those who were deceived by their fellows and didn't know how they could have seen it coming, much less how to deal with those cunning people. It is a mentor, I feel, and your video is a great help to those who actually wanna remember the book and what it taught them. Good work, Sir. Keep it up 👍🏼

Rule #3 Talk less... Smile more... don't show them who you're against or who you're for~

This was so powerful literally number two is where I needed to learn the hard

The first law got me hooked. I feel like I'm listening to a continuation of The Art of War but with much more power

"What you tolerate is what you put up with." -Powerful statement!

I like how you described #4 in detail.

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing 👍🏾

Say less than you need to say. When your less available you get more respect

LAW 16 is so underrated. "Familiarity breeds contempt", if more selfless people (esp with lack of boundaries) truly understood this they can have a much simpler life

Still loving this I watch every day

people are always abusing my goodness to them and being transparent is not good either..thank you for making me realize this things, this is how people think, this is how the world goes..sad but true

I am french and i am telling you that you have a pretty good french pronunciation, and i know it isn't easy !

Brought to you by the creators of phineas and ferb

i’m 20 & am in love with this book. in the intro of the book it says you can either use this book to take power or protect yourself against those who take power. i’m doing the latter. read it for yourself before judging

Law #69: snitch on eveyone.

fudge... i need to rewatch this and take notes

I recognize that people are in favor of the 48 laws (from my perspective, I believe in the 48 laws, but in a less psychopathological sense). Keep in mind however, that the laws go out the window when shit hits the fan. Sooner or later, you will have to look internally rather than externally. When you are at your lowest point, the 48 laws won't help you. I hope everyone continues to self-improve healthily.

Excellent video! Thanks a lot!

Came here expecting physics. Got Machiavelli.

"Former opponents make more loyal and stronger friends" Fact.. i still had those two close friends

Hi Illacertus, i have watched your videos probably 10,000 times. I used to work as Accounting Analyst and the start of the job commences and end from the 27th of the month and up to the 5th of the next month...and all day and everyday, i have listen to this like it is my playlist. I am letting you know, i intend to mimic this word for word...the flair of how you mouth words is so perfect....It is like Wilde fused with Frost. I love you !!!!! hehehe
