Essentially, the scope of this article is to inform the wannabe Machiavellian of the skill sets necessary to successfully apply Machiavellian strategy on a day-to-day basis. Having knowledge of the skill sets needed to be a fully competent Machiavellian is vital. Should one wish to successfully implement the “laws of power” into the fabric of their social interactions, they will need to master said qualities. These are qualities which are necessary, not supplementary. The book does not teach the importance of qualities which aid in and are fundamental to the successful execution of Machiavellian devices. There are talents which need to be developed by the reader that are irrespective of the book. Certain skills must be learnt, methodologies must be developed and a deeper understanding must be obtained. If one is to derive maximum benefit from the book and see tangible improvements in their life, the book and its tenets alone are not enough to bring about the outcomes enjoyed by competent Machiavellians. It appears there is something of a disconnect between the reader’s interest in the book and their ability to utilise the lessons taught within it. The focus of this piece is on the application of Machiavellian ideas contained within “The 48 Laws of Power.” Numerous people have communicated to me how confounding they find Robert Greene’s best-selling book despite how indisputably excellent it serves as an introduction to the world of Machiavellianism. 2.)
