An incredible book full of powerful imagery and a compelling storyline. I'm halfway through my third reading and it's getting better everytime.

>>131589414
I kid you not. Just bought this on a lark. Haven't cracked it yet. Guide me.

It's an okay book. Really popular in prisons and with losers.

>>131589414
it's literally trash. it teaches you how to be an antisocial paranoid disingenuous d-bag that no one will like. no one who's truly successful actually acts like that. it was written for edge lords who are not successful to fantasize about being successful.

>>131591147
read it dumbass. im out n gone. BLAM!

>>131591302
>no one who's truly successful actually acts like that.

Have you even read it? It gives nice examples throughout history and explains its a book for people with high amounts of power in real life, not really just average people. If you have a lot of power, people WILL plot against you and you have to be very realistic, not idealistic when it comes to relationships at that level.

Although I'd argue the less real life power you have, the more watered down you can afford to follow the 48 laws.

>>131591147
It's a good redpill in explaining how with great power comes great responsibility. It also gives you things to look out for in life or perhaps use if you have to.

Cultural of Critique by Kevin MacDonald is a must read. Anything by Pat Buchanan is great, 1913 by Paul Haim, The Cold War by Gaddis, and The Pope and Mussolini are all interesting and educational reads.

I am still on the eternal search for a book/audiobook about the Spanish Civil War that isn't biased towards the commies - I've yet to find one that even slightly pretends to be neutral.

>>131591302
You're not supposed to live your life like that, you are supposed to use the laws when you need to play a power role. The author even says you'd be a miserable person with a miserable life if you only lived through those rules.

>>131591265
Also popular with CEOs.

In all honesty, any prominent politician or business leader follows it but it would be social suicide to admit it

>>131589414
Yep, great read indeed. I might not make use of the rules it sheds light on, but it really helps with identifying those who do.

>>131591861
It also gave me some valuable insight on how humans think, specifically the chater on cults

Currently reading this, along with Basic Economics (about 60% through), a book from Evola, Spontaneous Order, a book about investing, and this book of anecdotes from career Minor League Baseball players.

>>131591991
Agreed. So many people call it just common sense but that's like saying a sharp piece of metal making a good weapon is common sense, but you have to learn all about the details of how to properly make it into something of high quality

>>131589414
Read this when I was 15. Got about Galway through then realized that every "law" contradicts must of the other "laws". Has some good historical anecdotes that are highly exaggerated (or completely made up) in many cases.

>>131591302
I agreed with you the first time I read it.

The Cold War is pretty high-level but it covers the main events, the dynamics between the democracies/cominform/non-aligned movement, and a few interesting plausible alt-history scenarios. It's very well-written and there is a nice audiobook of it on Audible if you're into that.

There's a story of two national guardsmen radioing a Ranger unit for help, by the time the Rangers got there they found the national guardsmen butchered alive and their fingers bones being sold in town by the locals.

Don't be an ass it's common knowledge modern the Western education system, particularly collegesm are largely ultra-left leaning

The book is objective, in most places all you hear from History teachers is Muh Crusades were evil and that's about the extent of it. Stark is one of the most well researched Historians on the subject.

It goes deep into the Why the Crusades actually happened. The Kings who went on Crusade more often than not impoverished themselves doing so, they were not doing this for the typical war reasons of getting rich, it was an honest to god battle to save their civilization. Really incredible stuff.

I really enjoyed it. It would help to have some general background on the history of philosophy but if you're reasonably intelligent you can go in blind and still come out the other side with a lot of new knowledge.
There are diagrams in this book. No reason not to read it.

>>131593987
I'm enjoying it. I'm still working my way through the Greek stuff but apparently there are many different versions of the stories (Greek and Roman, different spins on the same story). The author combines different aspects from different authors of the myths and throws in some lines from the actual poems too, but it's mostly prose.
I'm reading it in preparation to read pic related.

Well there are 3 areas that he goes into.

1. Philosophical Core
Talks about how our lives revolve around feelings of power and powerlessness. Basically saying that coping with powerlessness and striving for power is the core of human existence. And he talks about how people who are in wrathful, depressed, hedonistic, ignorant, and "mad" (crazy) states of being are being destructive to life.

2. Our underlying animalistic nature and sexual choices.
Talks about the underlying psychology of sexual orientation and hedonism and how poor sexual choices can fuck up a society, written in pol fashion. Very politically incorrect. Also talks philosophically about how we must be balanced in retaining some animalistic nature and not discarding it, otherwise people end up beta cucks.


3.The construction of a strong society.
Says we must create an agrarian society in which people cooperate economically and socially, with a focus on creating a society in which people feel the wonder of being alive in an unexplored universe. Ends by saying we must explore the cosmos.

It's great for following current politics, opens your eyes to what people are actually up to. It's also good to know this stuff so that when it's being used on you you can recognize it and make better decisions. Also as you come into more power and have to deal with people with power it becomes more relevant. This book won't do much for you personally if you live in your moms boyfriends basement.

Diogenes is the only person you should give a shit about, and the fact that only 1% of his ideas and wisdom survives yet you can build a life on it is a testament to his genius

Meaningless, postmodern tripe. Existentialists bring absolutely nothing to the table, they are completely useless and never made one advancement in society.

Greene is garbage, entertaining but still garbage.

Read Antifragile by Taleb and get back to me if your IQ is 2 std dev above mean.

Read Propaganda by Edward Bernay ASAP and then watch the documentary on youtube called "The Century of the Self"

Then reread or at least review Animal Farm and the other dystopian novels.

The redpill you should get there is that people can never be woken up, only a minority can, which must then lead and control the people through half-truths and herd them into ways of thinking.

Top kek. This is like someone saying "of course having a sharp metal object is a good weapon duuuhh!" but neglecting how much technique goes into making this apparently "common sense concept" into something of high quality.

The Prince is definitely a good outline and partial in-depth look at that.

>cringe because it's men only

I like my server to be free of beta orbiting and for the men there to have comradery instead of competing for the attention of some woman and neglecting the purpose of the server.

Even when we didn't have that rule, women would literally join, see we had requirements for remaining in the server, and promptly not participate because it didn't involve video games or anime.

Fuck all the pills except the REDPILL of selfish advancement of one's family.

All other redpills are disinfo. The greenpillers are numale betas who get off on existentialism.

Again, the REDPILL is inherited wealth and many children.

Mark Bowden, the guy who wrote BLACKHAWK DOWN just came out with a book about the BATTLE FOR HUE.

What are you waiting for?

At its core, it is a treatise on maintaining power, particularly in both the balance and leverage against the expectations of those ruled and competitors for said power. Therefore, the concepts are appropriate for pretty much any era.

This. All the stories are true to an extent but Robert Greene spiced them up. Machiavelli did the same thing about stories from ancient times. It doesn't make the principles less true, but it's hard to find pure real life examples.

As for sources, go read some history. Better book than this is Meditations by pic related

Not sure if this is your hangup but it takes some time to get used to the grammar of how really old texts are translated. I don't know if thats because of the age of the translation or what but it gets easier the more you read I find.

48 laws is the biggest meme book out there

they should rename it the book of common sense for autistic pseudointellectuals

instead of reading such nonsense you should pick up a book that has practical application instead of theoretical circlejerking

>>131604903
Good to hear, it's even harder for me considering english is my second language and I bought the book in english. But it's still very interesting, it just takes me a long ass time to understand socrates arguments
