Excellent, the app is easy to use and less stressfull. Very powerful and lives transforming facts. The forty eight laws of power are actually the secrete to humanity, one has gotten so much to gain by knowing these laws. The only thing lacking is the inability of the app to notify one from important updates. However, I recommend it to all.
I recommend this app to anyone who who's attracted to power and influence. This app is the incarnation of the adage Never judge a book by it's cover. Though the app as some defects but the content ( the wisdom) is over whelming and testable. It explores difference strategic aspect of power and people in general. I rate the app 5 stars for detailed, structured and creative. The developer as my full support , keep on the good work. If you don't believe download the app , and see for yourself.
so, this is a abbreviated version of the actual book. the original is actually very interesting to read as it provides a historical analysis and examples which this one does not. just the rules, better off to just read the table of contents. YouTube the audiobook. of course living in this way is a sad way of living, but I think that reading about it is no different than reading machiavelli or Lao tso.
Great reading but I wish I could type in what Law to go to specifically rather than scrolling forever to get to the last one I left off on.
It's an awesome book,,I have the hardcopy.....for those saying all sorts of negativity about this book,,I'll like you to know that every human@one point or the other practice one,two if not more of these laws,,,both Christians and any other religion....so stop condemning this awesome book that helps you protect yourself from those playing the power game with you.
A decent version. Would be better if you could skip to pages you want.
The app gives you a glimpse of the book. I would recommend you first read the original book. The examples given in the book are astonishing.
Was recommended this book at 18. Im now 34 and have read it 4 more times since. I make no excuses for the life i chose and feel no remorse for actions taken on my quest for power. In this world youre either predator or prey. Youre either an alpha or youre a beta. If you dont know what category you fall into or if you scoff and tell yourself the world is any other way... Youre the latter. All the more reason to absorb the knowledge in this book...to keep an eye out for the wolf.
I actually downloaded this app because I wanted to say something about what I read just previewing the app and I'm definitely not impressed! Unfortunately this is the kind of ugly thinking of people in this world! Not to say it doesn't happen all the time but it's exactly what's wrong with this would not what's right! If everyone in the world thought like this what an awful place it would be! If you want something to live by try the good book! You can get a copy anywhere! It's called the BIBLE! Now that's the laws to live by! You can have power by being good as well as bad! It all depends on who you serve in this world God or Satan!
Very good app!!! Go download if you're interested in this book.
Awesome. The complete information!
Insightful, got me curious plus The 48 Laws adds a bit of a thrill to my nightime reading🙊🙉🙈
Is interesting but make the background more catchy
The article can really enhance leadership skills.thank you the author.
Great, well minus it removing some of the original content as mentioned in another review. Shout out to all the moralist's and God-fearing zealots in the reviews!
Very Great App. The Laws Here Are Straight Forward & Practical
Not bad !!!!! It really Equip mind ....and help me think differently!!!
To compare it with the previous ones i read, the influence is most.
I love reading so much,&am saying this honestly I love all articles from mr Robert Green&fifty cent,aka mr curtis jackson,their editions are so real,very authentic &interesting,have got handy copy that I normally read in alternation with my e'reading of the 48 Laws of power, am talking about another authentic books from the two above gurus,mr Green &mr Jackon,entitled,"The fiftieth Law of power",authentic copy I have to say thankyou to the two Gentlemen for sharing with us the interesting copies
It works for you if you apply it to your daily life and stay true to yourself.
Love this app easy to use and read
These principle s seem natural to mankind. The app is very helpful...
If you want to feel like you are of some inportance and have insecurities about every single person you know or meet, then this app is for you! It should be renamed 48 Steps To Anxiety & Then Maybe Power. Ridiculous and laughable to want to live this way 😆😆 Live freely, someone hurts you? Simple, leave! Who has time to micro analyse life this way. Step 49: stress will make you ill, if you have enemies it is a reflection of your power trip. #uninstallingggggg 👍😂
very educative and inspiring
its good to laywers on these appaction they way we know what law on our phones maybe they be able back us up if were not guilty
The PRINCIPLES explained in this book, is the EXACT REASON WHY so many people utilize this BOOK as "INSTRUCTIONS" instead of "INFORMATION"!... #STAYWOKEFOLKS
Have really enjoyed this app. My only complant and frustration is everytime I rotated phone it booted me back to the top. Better remember what page you were on, or else your gonna be shuffling through alot of pages. Then you'll get frustrated and lose any pleasure this app would've provided.
