YOUTUBE VIDEO OF THE WEEK:

The latest video on my YouTube channel summarizes my 6th book, The Laws of Human Nature. Here is a quote from the episode:

"The Laws of Human Nature is written for you to stop pointing fingers at others and look at yourself and recognize that you have these qualities, that you have a dark side, that you can be short-sighted. When you have success, it goes to your head, and you think you're absolutely wonderful. That you are a conformist. You conform to what other people are thinking and doing. Even the most powerful people in the world have all of these traits. Some of the greatest narcissists among us are those with a lot of power. I want you to look inside. I want you to take that microscope and turn it around and look inside of yourself and recognize it. It's not to beat yourself up; it's not to say, 'I'm a terrible person; I’m just awful; I don't even know why I exist.' No, it gives you the power to change them once you recognize these qualities because they're causing you problems."

PASSAGE OF THE WEEK:

"When you work for others, you are at their mercy. They own your work; they own you. Your creative spirit is squashed. What keeps you in such positions is a fear of having to sink or swim on your own. Instead, you should have a greater fear of what will happen to you if you remain dependent on others for power. Your goal in every maneuver in life must be ownership, working the corner for yourself. When it is yours to lose - you are more motivated, more creative, more alive. The ultimate power in life is to be completely self-reliant, completely yourself." - The 50th Law
