Brett Strickland’s Reviews > The 48 Laws of Power > Status Update

Genuinely curious what kind of person would read this and take it seriously. Just listened to law one, “Never outshine the master,” and it’s a bizarre start for a number of reasons. Reads like satire, but I don’t think it is. Made me think of the episode of This American Life about the janitor who ran the school system in New York and did things like turn the heat off to teacher’s rooms.
