Back in my youth, I thought this book was everything. Namely, on how to get ahead in the business world. Now, I've realized that it only pushes strife in your life by calculating unrighteousness in all your paths. It's a very deceitful book by nature and you would be wise to seek the truth. That truth is found in the Holy Bible. Read the Book of Proverbs for real guidance on wisdom and instruction.

you realize you're asking someone to explain how it is you uphold a certain mystique

I'll try my hand at it though. he means that if you don't touch something too thoroughly, and keep your knowledge on the subject light, it wont corrupt you with the same force that it would to another person who dove into it headfirst, hungry for -explanation- (like what you did)

>you realize you're asking someone to explain how it is you uphold a certain mystique

that wasn't reaIIy what I was asking, I just didn't understand the point that he was trying to convey.
'(if this is the path you are interested in)' is what confused me.

From what I understand he/you are just saying that someone who reads a book Iike this and analyses the 'ruIes' or 'techniques' wiII become too caIcuIated or stiIted in their interactions with others. Yes?

Reading books like these has zero effect on your personal life.

I mean, I used their lessons when I was working in marketing, but it doesn't make you more charismatic or a better person around others. Knowing a few little tricks is a tiny aspect of manipulation, and you gotta practice them constantly.
