Introduction

If you come across any special trait of meanness or stupidity... you must be careful not to let it annoy or distress you, but to look upon it merely as an addition to your knowledge-a new fact to be considered in studying the character of humanity. Your attitude towards it will be that of the mineralogist who stumbles upon a very characteristic specimen of a mineral.

-Arthur Schopenhauer

First, the Laws will work to transform you into a calmer and more strategic observer of people, helping to free you from all the emotional drama that needlessly drains you.
Second, the Laws will make you a master interpreter of the cues that people continually emit, giving you a much greater ability to judge their character
Third, the Laws will empower you to take on and outthink the toxic types who inevitably cross your path and who tend to cause long- term emotional damage.
Fourth, the Laws will teach you the true levers for motivating and influencing people, making your path in life that much easier
Fifth, the Laws will make you realize how deeply the forces of human nature operate within you, giving you the power to alter your own negative patterns
Sixth, the Laws will transform you into a more empathetic individual, creating deeper and more satisfying bonds with the people around you.
Finally, the Laws will alter how you see your own potential, making you aware of a higher, ideal self within you that you will want to bring out.
Man will only become better when vou make him see what he is like.

-Anton Chekhov
