Check.
I almost got into this stuff but it's the most messed up thing. It makes you an unhealthy person mindfully. Imagine having to live your life like this for the rest of your life, it's sad and daunting. Only take what's useful for you in this, the rest can make you live like gollum from the lord of the rings.
Here is an "upgrade" over the previous link to put some context into it...
http://48laws-of-power.blogspot.com/
This book is my #1 favorite book and 100% on point on how the world and people ACTUALLY operate, not on we think they should operate....
The problem most people see with it, is the "dark undertone and extreme language" that the ideas in the book are presented in (done specifically to illustrate points & evoke a powerful emotional response)...some of the most successful people on our planet highly endorse the book also (health issues are not of concern)...ironically, the author's (Robert Greene) personality is completely opposite from the "dark tone" of the book
From what I've encountered, the Law of Attraction group has "slandered" this book the most because the Law of Attraction deals with absolutes & "unchanging" principles...Greene (the Author) deals with ALL of the Human Emotions & Actions (Love, Hate, Greed, Deception, Power, Seduction, Etc) that you will come across from people in your lifetime and how to deal with them (with historical examples)....and these are things that are not "supposed" to be talked about in the world and/or "expressed" in any way, shape, or form.... but still "operate" on an "unspoken" level
I say the book is not for everyone, but it will give those with it's knowledge a little more social freedom and allow them to enjoy their life more..
