Are you ready to get all the power in the world?!? Then this memory challenge is one you don’t want to miss out on!

In the book The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene, he talks about how people throughout history have used these laws to gain power in all sorts of ways. Greene then suggests you can uses these laws for yourself to gain power!

I loved this book because of all the historical examples given. It is interesting to see events through the lens of these laws. So the challenge we have is memorizing all 48 laws of power but also be able to know the number of the law.

The order of the laws are important because the first laws have more impact on power than the later laws. Law 1: Never outshine your master is the most important law since it is first. So make sure you memorize the laws with this in mind.

Purpose of challenge: To be able to recall the exact order and position of the laws and to get better at changing abstract ideas to images.

Benefits of challenge: Be able to see others using the laws of power and for you to use the laws of power gain ultimate power!
