Chasing Excellence With Alexander Sandalis

“Any momentary triumph you think you have gained through argument is really a Pyrrhic victory: The resentment and ill will you stir up is stronger and lasts longer than any momentary change of opinion. It is much more powerful to get others to agree with you through your actions, without saying a word. Demonstrate, do not explicate.” Get The 48 Laws Of Power here.

“When you force the other person to act, you are the one in control. It is always better to make your opponent come to you, abandoning his own plans in the process.

“Use the wisdom, knowledge, and legwork of other people to further your own cause. Not only will such assistance save you valuable time and energy, it will give you a godlike aura of efficiency and speed. In the end your helpers will be forgotten and you will be remembered.

“Everything is judged by its appearance: what is unseen counts for nothing. Never let yourself get lost in the crowd, then, or buried in oblivion. Stand out. Be conspicuous, at all cost. Make yourself a magnet of attention by appearing larger, more colorful, more mysterious than the bland and timid masses.” Get The 48 Laws Of Power here.

Reputation is the cornerstone of power: through reputation alone you can intimidate and win; once it slips however you are vulnerable and will be attacked on all sides. Make your reputation unassailable. Always be alert to potential attacks and thwart them before they happen. Meanwhile learn to destroy your enemies by opening holes in their own reputations. Then stand aside and let public opinion hang them. Get The 48 Laws Of Power here. If you prefer reading here is the written summary of this rule.

When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control.  Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike.  Get The 48 Laws Of Power here.

"Keep people off-balance and in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind your actions. If they have no clue what you are up to, they cannot prepare a defence. Guide them far enough down the wrong path, envelop them in enough smoke, and by the time they realize your intentions, it will be too late." Get The 48 Laws Of Power here.

"Be wary of friends-they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and tyrannical. But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them." Get The 48 Laws Of Power here. If you prefer reading here is the written summary of this rule.

The 48 Laws Of Power stands as one of the best books I've ever read. My aim is to create an engaging succinct audio summary of the book that exemplifies each of the laws observance's and transgressions.  This book is centred around power and human behaviour which some interpret as, manipulation, thus it is a controversial book to some. A lot hate it, a lot love it. I believe the most important thing in any new-found knowledge or idea is keeping an open mind. There is a lot of value in the idea's Greene discusses and this book will teach you that it is better to be aware of the malevolence around you then stay ignorant.  Get The 48 Laws Of Power here.

The most significant and practical component of Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life may very well be encapsulated in his last chapter - the 'CODA' (conclusion). This video serves as a self-reflective exercise that will take you through a list of very confronting thought-provoking questions. I did not originally plan to make a video on this component of the book, but after reading it, I felt I had to. Don't treat this video as another 'self-help' video you watch mindlessly to give the illusion of productivity and progress, use it as a tool to dive deep into figuring out who you are and how you're going to navigate this life.

This may be one of Jordan Peterson's most contentious rules in 12 Rules for Life. Rule 11 provides many thought-provoking ideas on the patriarchy, the effect our softened world of comfortable living has had on children and adults alike, the psychological differences between men and women and much more, such getting inside the minds of terrorists and mass murderers. If you are sensitive to new ideas and get emotional when people challenge you intellectually, then you are someone who should DEFINITELY listen to this.   Get 12 Rules For Life here.

Jordan Peterson's Rule 10 demonstrates the severity of hiding the monster in the closet, AKA not acknowledging the insidious problems that fester within us.

Rule 8 of Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life teaches us the utility and danger of truth and lie and it's very serious consequences to not only your own character, but the character and behaviour of those around you. Peterson exemplifies that 'truth' isn't just about the way that we communicate with others, but how we interact with ourselves when faced with the moral conundrum of truth or lie. It is this daily choice that will dictate your propensity towards heaven or hell.  Click here to Get 12 Rules For Life here. If you prefer reading here is the written summary of this rule.

Rule 6 of Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life stands as one of the most profound and powerful chapters in this book. It forces you to engage in brutal honest self reflection. It forces you to critically analyse your responsibilities to yourself and the world around you. Or rather, understand that before you aim to fix the world, you MUST fix yourself. Thereby fixing YOUR world (yourself), you fix THE world. Stand tall, take responsibility and set your house in perfect order.   Click here to Get 12 Rules For Life here.

The principles in this rule should be communicated to every future and current parent. I almost titled the video, 'parenting 101' (I may still change it to that). However Peterson demonstrates to the reader how the information in this rule transcends the act of parenting. Practical examples and very thought provoking content on human behaviour and psychology are the bedrock of Rule 5. It's hard to articulate into words how powerful and important this chapter is. IMPORTANT: Please let me know what you guy's thought/felt about there being no photo imagery and video footage in this rule and whether it made much of a difference for you.
