The word “law” is very misleading.
It gives you an illusion of control. That’s why these kind of “secret of success” books are popular, but worth nothing.
In reality there are now “laws” everyone obey, or even rules that gives you stable predictable results.
People are dynamic chaotic systems, they’re not computers.
- muzani 5y agoI used to read back when I was in college, studying electrical engineering. Someone thought it was an engineering book but the metaphor applies. You can know ohm's law and stuff but it's not enough to build giant robots. I think the "laws" laid out in the book are more accurate than most, but using it for engineering isn't that simple. You can use it to defuse tension with an egoistic manager or an office bully, but it's not enough to become VP of Google.
