Law of power! 1-48
1. Never outshine the master
Always make those above you feel superior. If you make them feel insecure, you risk being replaced or punished.
2. Never put too much trust in friends; learn how to use enemies
Friends can betray you out of emotion or envy. Enemies, properly managed, can be more loyal and useful.
3. Conceal your intentions
Don’t tell people your true plans—this keeps them from interfering and gives you an edge.
4. Always say less than necessary
The more you speak, the more likely you are to say something foolish. Silence creates mystery and authority.
5. Guard your reputation with your life
Reputation is a cornerstone of power. Once damaged, it’s hard to rebuild—protect it constantly.
6. Court attention at all costs
Visibility is power. Stand out, be memorable, and use dramatic gestures if needed.
7. Get others to do the work for you, but always take the credit
Leverage others’ talents and efforts while making it seem like you were the mastermind.
8. Make other people come to you—use bait if necessary
Don’t chase people or power. Draw them in and make them play by your rules.
9. Win through actions, never through argument
People may be convinced by your words but are more likely to resent you. Prove your point through results.
10. Infection: avoid the unhappy and unlucky
Misery spreads. Don’t associate too closely with those who constantly struggle or fail.
11. Learn to keep people dependent on you
Create relationships where others need you to thrive or succeed. This gives you control.
12. Use selective honesty and generosity to disarm your victim
Small, genuine gestures can build trust, which you can later exploit.
13. When asking for help, appeal to people’s self-interest, never to their mercy
Frame your requests in terms of what benefits them, not you.
14. Pose as a friend, work as a spy
Build rapport and gather useful information that can be used strategically.
15. Crush your enemy totally
Leave no chance for retaliation. A half-defeated enemy will eventually strike back.
16. Use absence to increase respect and honor
Too much presence can diminish value. Sometimes disappearing raises your worth.
17. Keep others in suspended terror: cultivate an air of unpredictability
Surprise keeps others on edge and off-balance. They can't plan against you if you're unpredictable.
18. Do not build fortresses to protect yourself—Isolation is dangerous
Being cut off makes you vulnerable. Stay connected to information and people.
19. Know who you’re dealing with—do not offend the wrong person
Different people react differently to offense. Choose your targets and methods carefully.
20. Do not commit to anyone
Stay independent. Commitment traps you and limits your options.
21. Play a sucker to catch a sucker—seem dumber than your mark
Underestimate yourself to gain an advantage. People let their guard down when they think they’re smarter.
22. Use the surrender tactic: transform weakness into power
When overpowered, retreat gracefully. It gives you time to plot a comeback.
23. Concentrate your forces
Focus your time and energy on one strong point, rather than scattering your efforts.
24. Play the perfect courtier
Be the ideal subordinate: adaptable, flattering, and discreet.
25. Re-create yourself
Be the architect of your identity. Don’t let others define you—shape your image and role.
26. Keep your hands clean
Get others to do the dirty work so your reputation remains untouched.
27. Play on people’s need to believe to create a cultlike following
People want meaning. Provide a vision, symbols, and rituals—and they’ll follow.
28. Enter action with boldness
Timidity breeds failure. Take action confidently and decisively.
29. Plan all the way to the end
Think several steps ahead. Don’t get caught by surprises or unfinished plans.
30. Make your accomplishments seem effortless
Hide the hard work. Let your results speak for themselves.
31. Control the options: get others to play with the cards you deal
Frame the choices so no matter what others pick, it benefits you.
32. Play to people’s fantasies
People crave illusions and dreams. Give them that and they’ll follow you.
33. Discover each man’s thumbscrew
Find what motivates or weakens people—fears, desires, or secrets—and use it.
34. Be royal in your own fashion: act like a king to be treated like one
Carry yourself with confidence and self-respect. People treat you as you treat yourself.
35. Master the art of timing
Know when to act and when to wait. Timing can make or break your plans.
36. Disdain things you cannot have: ignoring them is the best revenge
If you can’t have it, don’t obsess. Indifference shows power and poise.
37. Create compelling spectacles
Dramatic visuals and experiences stick in people’s minds and sway emotions.
38. Think as you like, but behave like others
Conform outwardly while keeping your true thoughts private.
39. Stir up waters to catch fish
Chaos creates opportunities. Make people emotional and you'll gain control.
40. Despise the free lunch
What’s free is often worthless or a trap. Value what’s earned.
41. Avoid stepping into a great man’s shoes
Forge your own path rather than trying to live up to someone else's legacy.
42. Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter
Remove the leader and the group loses direction or collapses.
43. Work on the hearts and minds of others
Persuasion is more powerful than force. Win people emotionally and mentally.
44. Disarm and infuriate with the mirror effect
Mirror your opponents to confuse or unnerve them. It throws them off balance.
45. Preach the need for change, but never reform too much at once
People fear sudden change. Introduce it slowly so they can adapt.
46. Never appear too perfect
Too much perfection breeds envy. Show some faults occasionally.
47. Do not go past the mark you aimed for; in victory, learn when to stop
Don’t overreach. Knowing when to stop protects your success.
48. Assume formlessness
Be adaptable and fluid. The rigid are easy to attack; the shapeless survive anything.
