Laws of Power

If you are already established in a group, temporary withdrawal from it will make you more talked about, even more admired. You must learn when to leave. Create value through scarcity.

 
In 1996, American author Robert Greene was at a self-admitted crossroads.

He was presented with an opportunity to work on his first book, which would allow him to quit a job he hated, but was still his only source of income.

While re-reading his favorite Julius Caesar biography, Greene said: “I came to the moment when he was deciding whether to cross the Rubicon River to fight with Pompey, even though he had only a small force with him. It would mean initiating a civil war and going against incredible odds. He decided to cross the Rubicon, after declaring the die is cast. As I do when I read such texts, I put myself in his shoes and imagined what an insane risk it was for him to take, and yet Caesar lived for such moments and came alive when the odds were against him. I thought: ‘My situation is much less intense, but I will follow Caesar and not only write the proposal, but take three months to do it right.'”

After that courageous decision was made, the 48 Laws of Power became an instant best seller.
