Its a good book for those who arent dark triad but want to achieve their goals.

Machivellianism can be learned

People like me don't have to read some shit books, it just comes natural to me. You are coping hard if you think that this book will help you, either you are it or not.

You havent even read the book and you dare to make such comment.
I would like you to read about it first. It's a very good book.
It doesnt teach you to be merciless. And i higly doubt that the things mentioned in the book can come naturally to someone.
You need a lot of experience and knowledge

and looking out for number 1 / not being afraid to manipulate ppl. the whole word Machiavellian basically means "dark triad".

accurate as i actually did read these books mostly when i was like 15. u eventually realise that there is nothing that revolutionary about realising that people will always step on u. but when u are 15 u think it's some mind blowing concept.

edgy 15 yo reading list:
the prince
sun tzu
nietzsche
american psycho

Who hates him? Everything he said was legit

 

[Deleted member 2597]

Most of these books are obvious shit that anyone who's went outside should know, I've read them, there very pretentious, albeit they are useful to an extent , you shouldn't take them as the gospel. Just be pragmatic.

no idea i have seen people say shit about that guy.

 

[AbandonShip]

. Just be pragmatic.

Thats what these books teach. You dont have to follow step by step instructions

 

[Deleted member 3328]

Nothing is godsend. Reading is still good tho. It helps widen your perspective

Problem with these sorts of books is, they give u the intellectualism and information but 99% of the time don't benefit you in a shape or form because after reading them you are still the same person, with the same thought processes who makes the same decisions with the same genes. To be a prince like is described you have to be born with the right genetic prowess and be brought up in the right environment. Having the info what makes a good prince won't make you act that way.

You have to be born strong, to think like the strong.
