Sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm looking on how to either manipulate people in a social setting rather than a business one or how to have a lot of social influence and popularity

48 Laws of Power

The Prince

[–]trollinturtle[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children) | Copy Link

I've read the laws of power and didn't really like it that much. I saw some of the Prince but I'll have to read through more of it, thanks for your reccomendation

[–]SilentSchmuck0 points1 point  (4 children) | Copy Link

What didn't you like about the Laws of Power? Curious because The Prince is pretty much (one of) the source material for the 48 Laws.

I didn't find it an interesting read and felt in modern day I could fit it in

Don't doubt yourself, I agree with you. 48 Laws of Power is too vague, doesn't exactly guide one through the 'how to' part of the equation, if one's curious about the very basic stuff.

It's impractical I think as well unless intense study is done

I may be wrong however and should reread it

Thank you never seen that sub before

if you want popularity - read how to win friends and influence people - improve yourself, lift weights, dress well and be funny and genuine

[–]trollinturtle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Well I lift weights, dress decently, and people say I'm funny, and I would say I am popular, however, I would like to elevate this to another level, as I'm that guy every body knows and some people love, however, I have no social influence or power, if I told someone to do something I don't think they would. Everyone knows me but I don't have a big social presence.
