Helps change the way you handle people if your in a supervisory position. If you don't already have power this won't help.

>> No.10781733

>>10781480
but it will help you recognize the supervisor's actions relating to this book though

>> No.10781737

If you need a book to become alpha, you are farther away from your goal than you think; however, if you want to learn some good life philosophy, you're in the right neighborhood.

Cesar Borgia was pretty alpha and the book was inspired by him so maybe it will help a bit

Just fucking read it.

>> No.10782515

Alpha isn't a thing, so no. It's a decent book though so read it.

Since we're on this, what's your opinions on the book being a satire?

>> No.10782591

>>10781311
it's literally just satire. he wrote it for the memes. so if you want to become a joke read it.

>> No.10782774

>>10781311
no but if you are already in charge it will teach you models of how to stay in charge. only 20% of them are outdated

Yes it will help, but you need to read Machiavelli's Mandragola (The Mandrake) to learn how to cuck men and fuck their wives. (Protip hire Machiavelli's insert character to organise the scheme.)
