This is Robert Greene.

In 1998, he wrote The 48 Laws of Power, a book so manipulative, it’s banned in prisons.

But it’s studied by CEOs, cult leaders, and world-class operators.

Here are the 10 most powerful laws out of the 48 that they hope you never figure out: 🧵 Image
Image
This isn’t a typical “self-help” book.

It’s a survival manual for power games happening all around you, whether you see them or not.

Once I realised that, everything clicked.

Here’s what makes it so dangerous (and valuable):
Robert Greene published it in 1998.

· Millions sold
· Studied by CEOs & world leaders
· Still controversial 25+ years later

Crazy part?

It’s banned in U.S. prisons because once people understand power, they’re harder to control.

So here’s 10 of its most dangerous laws: Image

Few have mastered the art of clear thinking like this man:

Charlie Munger.

It’s nearly impossible to stay confused, irrational, or make bad choices after understanding his mindset.

Here’s how his principles help you think clearer, stress less, and live with more clarity: 🧵 Image
For over 40 years, Charlie Munger sat alongside Warren Buffett as Vice Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway.

But he wasn’t just Buffett’s “right-hand man.”

He was the mind that shaped much of Berkshire’s philosophy. Image
In the 1960s and 70s, Munger ran his own investment firm, averaging 24% annual returns.

But his true genius wasn’t just about money. It was about making better decisions in life.

In 2022, Yale scientists brought a dead pig back to life, an hour after its heart stopped.

They restored blood flow and cell function without a heartbeat, brain activity, or life support.

If that sounds impossible… wait till you see how they did it: 🧵 Image
First, let’s be clear:

This pig was clinically dead.

No heartbeat, circulation or breathing.

It stayed that way for a full hour. Long enough for massive tissue damage.

But then, they plugged it into a machine that did the unthinkable…

So what's this special machine?
It’s called OrganEx.

It’s a perfusion system that pushes a custom synthetic fluid through the veins of a dead body and those fluid contains:

Oxygen, Nutrients, Anti-inflammatories, and Drugs that block cell death

And it worked without needing the heart to beat. Image

This is Vadim Zeland.

• Author of Reality Transurfing
• A former quantum physicist from Russia
• Created a method to shift to your dream reality

But most people misunderstand his teachings, and stay trapped.

Here’s what Zeland really meant with his teachings: Image
Image
Vadim Zeland wasn't your typical self-help guru.

He worked in quantum physics and computing during the Soviet era, until one day, he walked away from it all.

Why?

He believed reality was not fixed and that we could literally choose new versions of it. Image
In the early 2000s, he wrote Reality Transurfing—a 5-volume manifesto combining quantum mechanics, metaphysics, and philosophy.

It became a cult hit in Russia.

But only spread to the West years later, and even then, barely.

If you want to ruin your life and never reach your full potential just do any of these 13 things 👇 Image
1. Foster Self-Doubt and Low Self-Worth

Make people believe they aren’t good enough or capable enough.
Encourage negative self-talk and a mindset of “I can’t” or “I’m not worthy.”

This internal dialogue can paralyze them, keeping them from even trying to pursue their goals or passions.

There are 3 topics I am actively thinking about a lot these days:

Topic #1: Persuasion
I am interested in persuasion because it's probably the most powerful skill you could have in the world.
Topic #2: Psychology
I first got interested in psychology over ten years ago when I dropped out of medical school and started as a sales rep at Mazor Robotics, a medtech company.
My late mentor Chris Sells introduced me to it—and since then, I have learned a lot about the importance of observing how people make decisions, what actions they take, and why they did it.
