Story
A lot of times, when people think about success, they immediately start to think about their goals. They look at their life and start to measure their accomplishments. I then ask these people, of their goals, how many they would say they accomplish in a year or month. In most cases, they have set goals but they have no idea of the steps or work it takes to accomplish them. I tell you, although we set goals, the outcome we desire is a specific set of results. Let's look at the big picture.

Stoicism is not a philosophy as we imagine it to be: old and outdated, and highly theoretical with a lot of blah-blah. On the contrary, Stoicism is relevant today, immensely practical, and designed to work in the real world, and it has been a source of guidance and practical advice for people for more than 2,000 years. Thanks to daily exercise, the Stoic lifestyle can help you become a better and kinder person. It helps you to become less emotionally reactive and prepares you to meet misfortunes, whether minor irritations or serious adversities, with tranquility.

In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

This is the only NLP book that does enough to bring in novice practitioners. Other books like this don’t even attempt to hold back the jargon that NLP can sometimes become flooded with. Our book is written in plain English so that anyone who wants to learn how to manipulate and persuade can understand. Stop letting people be a mystery to you. You are a person yourself, and that fact will be key to analyzing and ultimately controlling others. With enough knowledge of psychology and practice of the skills we teach you, you can become the main factor in how someone behaves and thinks.

The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system. The next Larry Page or Sergey Brin won’t make a search engine. And the next Mark Zuckerberg won't create a social network. If you are copying these guys, you aren't learning from them. It's easier to copy a model than to make something new: doing what we already know how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But every time we create something new, we go from 0 to 1.

Seems Insightful Until You Think A Little Deeper

By: Peter Thiel, and others
Publisher's Summary
Do you remember when you had your first thought of corporate America and working there? A job of high importance came to mind, maybe even wearing a suit and working in a fancy office. The sad truth in the matter of this place is, although it has its perks and benefits, it has about as much politics and as many cliques as the high school cafeteria. When thinking about life after high school we always imagined that the real world wouldn't have as many barriers. The cool kids, although they were completely outnumbered by the kids that weren't, had the approval of the staff to lead and make decisions for the overall student body. You might remember being frustrated by this because these students weren't as bright or as knowledgeable as you or your peers about what they were running or leading. The staff's only job was to teach, and they ignored the many obstacles put in place by these cliques. One might laugh at the comparison of corporate America to high school, but to many who have lived it, they know it's a spot-on truth when comparing the politics involved in each.

Anyone Beginning Their Career Should Read This
All these rules apply in the government as well. I did 8-years in the USAF, worked within the government since then, and recently started a corporate job. I started getting like everyone was playing by a set of rules that I want familiar with. The government is always looking for ways to save time and money. Corporate America says that they do too but push back with so much force when you suggest or implement a change. I live Robert Greene's books anyway, but this one I immediately applied and things were better. In his words "I learned to color the roses." Which is another way if saying in military jargon "Shut-up and color!"

Yup, office politics, it’s a thing…
This is the most honest, raw, real, accurate advice about office politics that no one wants to talk about, and each law is summed up with simple, helpful, descriptive examples. None of this is backed by science, but if you’ve ever had a job, I’m sure a few of the laws will sound familiar.
I know there are companies that make an effort to remove the types of toxic, childish, manipulative, deceptive, crab people the author mentions, but most businesses, large and small, just don’t care, cuz profit. This audiobook helps guide you through some of the common crap you’ll likely have to deal with at work.
I learned all 8 lessons the hard way, 2 lessons I had just learned earlier this year, the other 6 are common in large companies who employ thousands of people. I’ve also worked for small business owners who fit the cut-throat, back stabbing, drama starting, delusional bosses described here too. I doubt I would have believed any of it, had I not experienced it myself.
The info provided is cynical, negative, it sounds defeatist and is depressingly and completely accurate. This has been the only audiobook I’ve found that provides practical advice and examples on how to handle the useless organizational management policies and the cult-like culture of work. I’m going to be cheesy and thank the author, Robert Greene, for writing this.
The narrator was great, I sped up the narration to 1.4X.
I personally still prefer working for larger companies, despite the unnecessary crap they drag you through. They pay better, provide medical, dental, vision, paid time off, unpaid time off, and some provide a 401K and contribute to it too! If you can ride it out long enough to afford a way out without losing your sanity, or humanity, it’s worth it in my opinion, but to each their own! If you have a job, and you aren’t the boss, this book will help you understand, and get through it.
Rant over.

I enjoy Mr. Green's viewpoint
I don't use the rules myself but it is nice to have someone that is aware of them and points out that they exist. I imagine this is what mentors and others would do in the past when you entered a job so that you could navigate the sometimes dangerous waters of climbing the corporate ladder. It gets more windy the higher you go.

Unexpected
Ofcourse it's expected RG will always put out quality work, but this short yet effective pice was unexpected
It doesn't particularly bring new information to light, but re-unforced those things we know in the back of our heads we just need somebody else to say out loud.
A lot of practical advice about what NOT to do, which can help avoid a lot of blunders I still make myself in daily life especially in a new work place
(He doesn't tell any stories in this one)
More than worth it 5*
