The prose unveils the use of the speculative science psychology to the darkest levels. Robert Greene describes life as a game of power and we-the reader-must be prepared to understand that our existence is all self-preservation to the highest degree. The book reminded me of reading Machiavelli’s The Prince. Without Christ, there is no way a person can be good because all thoughts, words, and deeds will always serve some selfish gain, whether from a social perspective or some biological, survival aspect. While the aforementioned statement is the stark truth of human nature, the Christian faith allows a person to strive toward love and goodness through Christ this expresses itself in selflessness that loves the unlovable, pre-forgives those that repeatedly hurt us, and is glad for the individual who profits out of our loss. When reading this book, one must remember that the author Robert Greene is discussing ‘power.’ I say this because as I began, it was disheartening to behold an assessment of the human condition as though we possess nothing good. Ironically, here is where The 48 Laws of Power lurk in wait it’s in the murky confusion of the human condition where power can be abused, purposefully compromising moral absolutes or outright rebelling against objective Truth. The average human soul doesn’t like clarity, so such definitive, distinctive, decisive words as ‘evil’ are considered eccentric, unconventional, extreme, and excessive.

‘Evil’ is a word seldom used it’s been ostracised from the court of English vocabulary because it’s royally distinctive in its meaning. The tragedy is that many readers have proudly received this as a guidebook of self-help, disregarding the transparent fact that this ‘manual’ instructs individuals on the abilities and benefits of evil. I’m glad the author provides a warning about power this is perhaps the only bit of loving, moral, healthy, holistic advice granted.

It might even be fair to suggest that I cannot produce an objective review due to my innate, inherent physical and mental reaction to the prose. In fact, the message was so blatantly opposed to my current disposition, that it triggered nausea and a continued head-shaking motion, expressed both in the unconscious, consistent, physical shaking of my head and the concurrent, internal, strong disapproval.
