This chapter resonates with me the most, because its about guarding your reputation and honing in on one thing that makes you look powerful. For example, Harry Houdini learned all there was to learn about his craft and didn't leave it up to chance for someone to ruin his reputation. It also goes along with the rule of planning out every thing to the end. I really liked this chapter. The digestible I'll say.

Okay, so chapter 4 is, dare I say more reasonable, than the previous chapter. The only big quarrel I have is with the scapegoat example. Sheesh, basically, instead of owning up to your mistake you use a scapegoat to blame it on. And he's saying to use the closest ppl around you to do it. Honestly, this tells me not to be the scapegoat and to use one of other laws and not be so friendly with ppl.

I think its the language the book uses that's throwing me off a little. I didn't realize that I was going to read a book about creative manipulation. Although this read makes me uneasy at times, it still has some valid points, especially since its backed by historical events. For example Law #4 "...Always say less as possible..." and it goes on to talk about King Louie and how he wasnt a man of many words.

CH 1: Oh wee! I feel I'm learning how to be a master manipulator. Lol! I did expect this to go this way in the first chapter, but honestly what's intriguing are the stories because I love history. In all seriousness, as unhinged as this is, I'm taking notes, not necessarily be 'deceptive ' but to be strategic, because truth be told, I don't want to have power over someone, but over my own self and emotions.
