It’s a book that’s meant to be read as a tool to understand the mind of a highly manipulative person. The book wasn’t written so people would follow implement the various laws in their daily life but more to help you spot red flags in manipulative people before they wiggle their way into your life. A book I would compare it to for lack of better reference is “the prince” by Nicolo Machiavelli- it was written in 1531 and in it he gives examples of how horrible people tend to make it far in life and gain power over others. The book is a great tool to understand dictators but some people can use it for much more sinister purposes.
