1.Never Outshine the Master  Avoid making superiors feel inferior.

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.   Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.

Understand yourself and those around you.

The 48 Laws of Power

Meursault, a man detached from conventional emotional responses, receives news of his mother's death. He travels to the old people's home, observes the rituals of mourning with indifference, and returns to Algiers the very next day. He begins a relationship with Marie Cardona and gets entangled in the affairs of his neighbor, Raymond Sintès, who has a violent altercation with his mistress's brother. This culminates in Meursault's impulsive act of shooting and killing the man on the beach.

Part One Summary:

Meursault is imprisoned and faces trial. The legal proceedings focus less on the specific act of the murder and more on Meursault's character, particularly his perceived lack of remorse for his mother's death and his general detachment from societal norms. His lawyer attempts to build a defense, but Meursault's honesty and refusal to fabricate emotions undermine his case. He is ultimately convicted and sentenced to death. In the final chapters, he confronts the absurdity of his situation and the inevitability of death, engaging in a climactic confrontation with a chaplain .

Part Two Summary:

"Mother died today. Or maybe yesterday, I don't know." (This opening line immediately establishes Meursault's detachment.) I had the impression that had always been looking for this absurd life." (Meursault reflects on his acceptance of the meaninglessness of existence.) "It didn't matter to me that I was going to die." (This statement highlights Meursault's acceptance of his fate.) "As if that blind rage had washed me clean, emptied me of hope, and in that darkness now, like a star, felt the presence of something I could never have imagined, and which yet was allT had left." (Meursault

Memorable Quotes: To

experiences a strange sense of peace and acceptance before his execution.) "For everything to be consummated, for me to feel less alone, I had only to hope that on the day of my execution there would be a crowd of spectators and that they would all greet me with cries of hate." (Meursault's final, defiant wish expresses his desire for connection, even through hatred.)

Is Meursault a sociopath, or is he simply more honest than most people about his feelings? How does the setting (Algiers, the beach, the prison) contribute to the themes of the novel? What is Camus suggesting about the nature of justice and societal expectations? Explore the symbolism of the sun and heat in the novel. How do they relate to Meursault's actions and state of mind?What is the significance of Meursault's final outburst against the chaplain? What does it reveal about his understanding of life and death?

Take-Home Questions:

Compare and contrast Meursault with other literary characters who challenge societal norms. Research the philosophical movement of existentialism and discuss how The Stranger reflects its core tenets. Consider the role of fate or chance in Meursault's life. Could his fate have been different? Discuss the different interpretations of the ending of the novel. Is it a moment of despair or a moment of clarity for Meursault?How does The Stranger continue to resonate with readers today? What contemporary issues does it address or reflect?

Further Discussion Points:

'Since we're all going to die, writes narrator Meursault, it's obvious that when and how don't matter:

HOW I READ MY BOOKS? I MAKE A SUMMARY OF MY HEAD IN MY NOTES APP

The stranger is a very short novel of less than 160 pages, it's a philosophical thriller that provokes one's mind. I will attempt to make a summary then some memorable quotes and later questions for one to think about.

With the intrigue of a psychological thriller, The Stranger—Camus's masterpiece—gives us the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach. With an Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie; translated by Matthew Ward. Behind the subterfuge, Camus explores what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd" and describes the condition of reckless alienation and spiritual exhaustion that characterized so much of twentieth-century life.  “The Stranger is a strikingly modern text and Matthew Ward’s translation will enable readers to appreciate why Camus’s stoical anti-hero and ­devious narrator remains one of the key expressions of a postwar Western malaise, and one of the cleverest exponents of a literature of ambiguity.” –from the Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie First published in 1946; now in translation by Matthew Ward.

Albert Camus (1913-1960) was a representative of non-metropolitan French literature. His origin in Algeria and his experiences there in the thirties were dominating influences in his thought and work. Of semi-proletarian parents, early attached to intellectual circles of strongly revolutionary tendencies, with a deep interest in philosophy (only chance prevented him from pursuing a university career in that field), he came to France at the age of twenty-five. The man and the times met: Camus joined the resistance movement during the occupation and after the liberation was a columnist for the newspaper Combat. But his journalistic activities had been chiefly a response to the demands of the time; in 1947 Camus retired from political journali

Accept everything just the way it is.

Do not fear death.

Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.

Do not regret what you have done.

Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.

Perceive that which cannot be seen with the eye.

You must understand that there is more than one path to the top of the mountain.

If you wish to control others you must first control yourself.

You can only fight the way you practice.

There is nothing outside of yourself that can ever enable you to get better, stronger, richer, quicker, or smarter. Everything is within.

10 Insightful Quotes by Miyamoto Musashi

Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.

Strategy and tactics are interdependent. They must work together in a coordinated manner to achieve success. A good strategy needs effective tactics to be realized. Without tactics, it remains just an idea. Tactics without a strategic foundation are aimless and counterproductive. They might seem impressive in the short term but will ultimately lead to failure.

Strategy and Tactics

To achieve our objectives, we first need a strategy. Strategy is a conceptual scaffolding. It is a mental model, which is informed by science , facts, logic and tailored to our goals.Then tactics follow from our strategy.

Objective -> Strategy -> Tactics

Not just about Health but life in general..

#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A groundbreaking manifesto on living better and longer that challenges the conventional medical thinking on aging and reveals a new approach to preventing chronic disease and extending long-term health, from a visionary physician and leading longevity expert   “One of the most important books you’ll ever read.”—Steven D. Levitt, New York Times bestselling author of Freakonomics   Wouldn’t you like to live longer? And better? In this operating manual for longevity, Dr. Peter Attia draws on the latest science to deliver innovative nutritional interventions, techniques for optimizing exercise and sleep, and tools for addressing emotional and mental health.   For all its successes, mainstream medicine has failed to make much progress against the diseases of aging that kill most people: heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and type 2 diabetes. Too often, it intervenes with treatments too late to help, prolonging lifespan at the expense of healthspan, or quality of life. Dr. Attia believes we must replace this outdated framework with a personalized, proactive strategy for longevity, one where we take action now, rather than waiting.   This is not “biohacking,” it’s science: a well-founded strategic and tactical approach to extending lifespan while also improving our physical, cognitive, and emotional health. Dr. Attia’s aim is less to tell you what to do and more to help you learn how to think about long-term health, in order to create the best plan for you as an individual. In Outlive, readers will discover:   • Why the cholesterol test at your annual physical doesn’t tell you enough about your actual risk of dying from a heart attack. • That you may already suffer from an extremely common yet underdiagnosed liver condition that could be a precursor to the chronic diseases of aging. • Why exercise is the most potent pro-longevity “drug”—and how to begin training for the “Centenarian Decathlon.” • Why you should forget about diets, and focus instead on nutritional biochemistry, using technology and data to personalize your eating pattern. • Why striving for physical health and longevity, but ignoring emotional health, could be the ultimate curse of all.   Aging and longevity are far more malleable than we think; our fate is not set in stone. With the right roadmap, you can plot a different path for your life, one that lets you outlive your genes to make each decade better than the one before.

Peter Attia, MD

The artist is the creator of beautiful things

The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things

Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. That is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.

Vice and virtue are to the artist materials for an art

Those who go beneath the surface do so at their own peril

All art is quite useless

But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins. Intellect is in itself a mode of exaggeration, and destroys the harmony of any face

I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvelous to us

Being natural is simply a pose, and the most irritating pose I know

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one

I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their good intellects

I suppose it comes from the fact that none of us can stand other people having the same faults as ourselves

The value of an idea has nothing whatsoever to do with the sincerity of the man who expresses it

There is not doubt that genius lasts longer than beauty

Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love: it is the faithless who know love’s tragedies

Because to influence a person is to give him one’s own soul

Every impulse that we strive to strangle broods in the mind, and poisons us

Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul

And beauty is a form of genius — is higher, indeed, than genius, as it needs no explanation

Celebrated novel traces the moral degeneration of a handsome young Londoner from an innocent fop into a cruel and reckless pursuer of pleasure and, ultimately, a murderer. As Dorian Gray sinks into depravity, his body retains perfect youth and vigor while his recently painted portrait reflects the ravages of crime and sensuality.

Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was an Irish playwright, poet, and author of numerous short stories, and one novel. Known for his biting wit, and a plentitude of aphorisms, he became one of the most successful playwrights of the late Victorian era in London, and one of the greatest celebrities of his day. Several of his plays continue to be widely performed, especially The Importance of Being Earnest. As the result of a widely covered series of trials, Wilde suffered a dramatic downfall and was imprisoned for two years hard labour after being convicted of "gross indecency" with other men. After Wilde was released from prison he set sail for Dieppe by the night ferry. He never returned to Ireland or Britain, and died in poverty.

The Picture of Dorian Gray

But in eternity nothing moves into the past: all is present. Time, on the other hand, is never all present at once. The past is always driven on by the future, the future always follows on the heels of the past, and both the past and the future have their beginning and their end in the eternal present

So we must not say that the past was long, because we shall not be able to find anything in it that could be long, for the simple reason that once it becomes the past it ceases to be

When we describe the past correctly, it is not past facts which are drawn on t of our memories but only words based on our memory-pictures of those facts, because when they happened, they left an impression on our minds, by means of our sense-perception

The future, then, is not yet; it is not at all; and if it is not at all, it cannot possibly be seen. But it can be foretold from things which are present, because they exist now and can therefore be seen

Our use of words is generally inaccurate and seldom completely correct, but our meaning is recognized none the less

The past increases in proportion as the future diminishes, until the future is entirely absorbed and the whole becomes past

So it is not future time that is long, but a long future is a long expectation of the future; and past is not long, because it does not exist, but a long past is a long remembrance of the past

Confessions of Saint Augustine Book XI

As for the other things in life, the more we weep for them, the less they merit our tears, and the fewer tears we shed for them, the more we ought to weep for them

It is simply that the memory captures their images with astonishing speed and stores them away in its wonderful system of compartments, ready to produce them again in just as wonderful a way when we remember them

I can be glad to remember sorrow that is over and done with and sorry to remember happiness that has come to an end

Yet, however it may be, and in whatever inexplicable and incomprehensible way it happens, I am certain that I remember forgetfulness, even though forgetfulness obliterates all that we remember

We do not say that we have found what was lost unless we recognize it, and we cannot recognize it unless we remember it. It was only lost to sight, not to the memory

For we do not entirely forget what we remember that we have forgotten. If we had completely forgotten it, we should not even be able to look for what was lost

The remembrance of past joy makes me sad

No one can say that he has no experience of joy, and this is why he finds it in his memory and recognizes it when he hears the phrase ‘a state of happiness’

For though he may rejoice in his power of endurance, he would prefer that there should be nothing for him to endure

It is curiosity, too, which causes men to turn to sorcery in the effort to obtain knowledge for the same perverted purpsoe

The human tongue is a furnace in which the temper of our souls is daily tried

For our love of praise leads us to court the good opinion of others and hoard it for our personal glorification

Confessions of Saint Augustine Book X

Thomas Hobbes begins Leviathan by arguing that human life is nothing more than the mechanical movement of arms and legs, just as any machine with artificial life functions. He extends this idea to human creations, including art and governance, describing the state also known as the commonwealth or the great Leviathan as an "artificial man."

The Artificial Man

Hobbes starts with the most basic ideas about human beings, focusing on human thoughts, which he describes as representations or appearances of real objects. These representations arise when an external object presses upon one of the human senses, triggering nerve signals that send messages to the brain. The brain then processes these messages as sensations sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.

Of Sense and Imagination

Since objects are always in motion, constantly exerting pressure on our senses, humans experience a continuous stream of thoughts and impressions. However, Hobbes distinguishes between the object itself and the image it creates in the mind.Hobbes contrasts his view with that of Aristotle, who argued that vision and hearing are caused by "visible" and "audible species" that depend on the appearance of an object rather than the object itself. According to Hobbes, when a person stops perceiving an object, an image of it remains in their mind, which he calls imagination.

Over time, these images fade, turning into memory, and having multiple memories of different things leads to experience. Since imagination, memory, and experience are all rooted in human sensory perception, no thought or concept can ever be infinite. While Hobbes acknowledges that God's power is infinite, he argues that this only means it cannot be fully understood by humans.

In the state of nature, all people are equal. However, when two individuals desire the same thing, they become enemies, seeking to destroy one another. Since nature lacks a mechanism for resolving disputes, people exist in a state of constant conflict, where they must fight for survival and respect. Without a central authority, life is marked by continual warfare.

Of the Natural Condition of Mankind

Life in the state of nature is nasty, brutish, and short

To escape this chaos, people are drawn toward certain agreements, which Hobbes calls the laws of nature. These laws, given by God, state that every person has the right to protect their life by any means necessary. However, they also emphasize the pursuit of peace whenever possible.The only way to ensure peace is for individuals to give up their right to self-preservation through violence and transfer that right to someone else via a contract. The laws of nature dictate that promises must be kept unless both parties agree to dissolve them.

To solve this problem, people create commonwealths, forming a society under a unified power. This arrangement is based on a contract where individuals surrender their right to self-preservation to a single person or group, known as the sovereign. The purpose of a commonwealth is to protect its people from harm and ensure their happiness. The sovereign wields absolute power, which cannot be taken away or divided. A ruler cannot be accused of wrongdoing by their subjects, nor can they be punished for any perceived injustices. The sovereign alone determines what is necessary to maintain peace.

Of the Causes, Generation, and Definition of a Commonwealth

Hobbes identifies three types of commonwealths: monarchies, aristocracies, and democracies.In a monarchy, sovereign power rests with one person; in an aristocracy, it is held by a small group; and in a democracy, it belongs to the people as a whole.Since a commonwealth can only take one of these three forms, Hobbes argues that the strength of a government depends on its structure, rather than the number of people within it. Each form of government has advantages and disadvantages, but Hobbes believes monarchy is the best.

Of the Different Forms of Commonwealth

A sovereign may appoint officials to help govern the commonwealth, but no officer can ever hold more power than the sovereign. Any attempt to divide or weaken the sovereign’s power threatens to return society to the state of nature, where war is inevitable. As long as the commonwealth remains intact, subjects must obey their ruler. If the sovereign is captured in war and voluntarily surrenders power, the people must follow the new ruler. However, if the sovereign resists and refuses to relinquish power, the subjects remain bound to their original ruler.

A sovereign has the right to punish subjects who disobey the law, and the fear of punishment must outweigh any perceived benefit of breaking it. The destruction of a commonwealth often results from a ruler’s willingness to accept a diminished authority.People may deny their ruler’s power out of ignorance or for personal gain, but the consequence is always the same: the weakening of sovereignty undermines the very purpose of a commonwealth. Thus, people must respect their sovereign as long as doing so does not violate divine law or the laws of nature.

Of the Rights of Sovereigns and the Limits of Obedience

People learn about divine laws through natural reason (a gift from God), revelation, or miracles. In a Christian commonwealth, individuals believe in God’s spiritual authority, but this does not require them to abandon reason and common sense. Christian commonwealths depend on sacred texts that outline moral and civil laws, and in some societies, these religious rules are incorporated into the legal system. Despite uncertainties about the authorship of holy scripture, these texts are regarded as God's word and hold significant influence over Christian communities.

To understand Hobbes’s argument fully, he explains the biblical concepts of "body" and "spirit." In scripture, these are referred to as corporeal and incorporeal substances. A body occupies space and has mass, while a spirit, like a ghost, is intangible. According to Hobbes, calling something “incorporeal” contradicts common meanings, as nothing can be both incorporeal and have a body. When the Bible refers to "the spirit of God" being present in the air or in people, Hobbes interprets this metaphorically as faith, rather than as a literal part of God’s body inhabiting another being.

Of the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Darkness

Hobbes also criticizes the misconception that God’s kingdom is identical to the Christian church. Instead, he argues that God’s kingdom exists wherever there is a contract between God and his people, such as the covenant between God and the Israelites. God made agreements with Adam in the Garden of Eden and later with Moses, making the Israelites God’s chosen people. However, since these covenants no longer exist in their original form, God's kingdom cannot be fully realized until Christ’s second coming, when he will establish his rule on earth or in heaven through a new contract.

Until Judgment Day, no single religious authority holds universal power over Christians only God and individual rulers have authority. Because sovereignty cannot be divided, Hobbes rejects the idea that one Christian leader, such as the Pope in Rome, can claim power over Christians in other commonwealths. This would diminish the authority of local rulers and weaken the stability of their governments. He argues that true salvation does not require submission to any earthly religious authority but instead depends on sincere faith in Christ.

The apostles instructed their followers to obey human rulers in all matters, even if those laws conflicted with God's law. In the end, God expects people to follow their earthly sovereign until Christ returns, at which point the saved will enter into a new covenant as Christ’s subjects. Hobbes concludes Leviathan by arguing that the misinterpretation of scripture fueled by Aristotle’s flawed philosophy and the Catholic Church’s desire for political authority has plunged the commonwealth into a "kingdom of darkness." His book, therefore, seeks to reveal these errors and correct them.

Full summary of Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes

Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan, from 1651, is one of the first and most influential arguments towards social contract. Written in the midst of the English Civil War, it concerns the structure of government and society and argues for strong central governance and the rule of an absolute sovereign as the way to avoid civil war and chaos.

Conclusion: Mastering Today for a Better Tomorrow

Outwitting Tomorrow is a plan whereby you master the future instead of allowing the future to master you. For if you are mastered, you are merely a puppet of Fate: but if you are the master, you will travel the bright Upward Path that Destiny has prepared for you.

This book is insightful. I particularly enjoyed its discussions on applying principles derived from the Great Pyramid's symbolism to various aspects of life, including spiritual, mental, financial, psychological, and social dimensions.

Join renowned thinker Valiant Thor (whose life has been the subject of many books and films such as "The Stranger at the Pentagon") as he examines the symbols of the Great Pyramid at Giza through story, metaphor, and direct teaching, revealing how they might help us in today's world. This book is perfect for today's Westerner, who understands the basic principles of Christianity, yet wants to expand their knowledge into more galaxial realms. "Outwitting Tomorrow" is inspired writing - a timely, practical prescription for survival and growth through the cataclysmic events aligning for this planet, as prophesied of old. The author's mastery becomes apparent due to the complete absence of authoritarian rules. Instead, he focuses on how to expand one's perspective in an intuitive, life-affirming, self-loving way. Each uplifting suggestion has its own innate value, potentially showering the reader in positive outcomes.
