Stuntin' On These Hoes Posts: 5,359 Group: Members Member #17 Joined: January 30, 2010	I started 48 Laws of Power...when it comes to money, Im definitely implementing it. i dont see how you would use it in everyday life though? That's reaching. Art of seduction is up next. idk bro, I will give art of war another chance but the "if your enemy is headed up, you must attack from a downward angle" shit is really fucking gay and obvious. never heard of the other 2 books. the alchemist is one of my favorite books though.

Law 3: Guard your intentions Law 5: Guarding your rep Law 7: get others to do the work, but you take credit Law 11: keep people dependent on you Law 14: Pose as a friend, work like a spy You see how this sick shit could be applied (is being applied without people knowing)? Griftopia is a great book if you wanna understand that Too Big To Fail shit with Wall Street in 2008 and its affects now, I like Taibbi's writing style. Generations is dope b, I recommend it...it's a big ass book, but a lot of information and connections between generation types and their actions. Somebody was telling me that The Alchemist is actually one of the stories of One Thousand and One Nights...I didn't know if it was true or not, so I gave em the ol' head nod.

Stuntin' On These Hoes Posts: 5,359 Group: Members Member #17 Joined: January 30, 2010	i finally finished 48 laws of power. It's....interesting to say the least. I recommend off the stregnth pf the stories told in the book alone. It's weird because a lot of the "laws" I read in there was stuff I already use when it comes to business (i.e. work, college, jobs, etc.), it's nice to finally glue it together though. I think I'm going to read Panchatantra before I get started on the art of seduction. you care.

siccmade Posts: 610 Group: Members Member #8 Joined: January 28, 2010	eating animals is pretty eye opening and it changes the way you eat for a while (for me for a few days lol), you see eating meat from different angle. not some hippie/let's save the world- bullshit. i highly recommend. and winner stands alone is probably best book after , ofc, the zahir (my fav book from coelho).. i'm bad in this, because i know i end up telling the plot lol.. but simba, love it, so i believe that you love it, too! edit; xcuse my engleez Edited by Buuyaa, Feb 19 2012, 04:57 PM.
