I am afraid of the people who would respect all the laws of this book, literally. Especially if they already are in positions with high potential to do harm e.g. politicians. Some ideas in this book could work, but not as a whole. There are short fragments and pieces that sound reasonable, if taken to other contexts.
But other than that, it reminded me again why power alone is a shitty goal to aim for. The road as described, is riddled with machiavelian, petty little games that hurt, insult, and ignore the people around.
The best thing this book could do for me - It made me realize I actually am not the person to want power that much. I feel like the book propagates some highly toxic behaviors, ans makes use of antiquated stereotypes and hierarchical games.
