I just completed reading 48 laws of power and now I am fucking disappointed

The book is filled with flaws and the laws are not even followed by the writer himself. He literally said that he doesn't follow his own advice and anybody who does will be a horrible ugly person that noone wants to be around. Some laws even contradict each other and the first law is just bad life advice. Example Guarding your reputation at all costs and attracting attention are both incompatible. You either guard your reputation or accept both good and bad publicity that comes with attention. Robert Greene and several similar writers don't claim this book to be a ultimate source of power they simply claim to bring awareness towards the topic. The book itself is full of disclaimers about this specific thing I am talking about and provides some contradiction to the laws mentioned. If you read the book doesn't mean that everybody around you automatically becomes dumb or you become smarter. You are not playing a game everybody is and they can do whatever you can and they don't need to read the book as you will realize while the laws look really important because of lengthy paragraphs they can simply be summarized into 2 basic sentences that everybody knows about by default and agrees with which the book overly extremizes which lead to your down fall if you follow them. Example everyone can agree that lying for benefit is not always a bad thing but extremizing the idea of lying for personal gain is just going to end you in trouble as you quickly get exposed as bag full of crap and face consequences for your actions. Attracting attention and lying which the book actively promots is a recipe for disaster. Just because you read the book doesn't mean you are the smartest person to ever exist. There is always a bigger fish in the sea and a lot of people who are much smarter than you also exist and will catch you easily. And trust me it's not pretty when a popular person gets exposed as a bag full of crap. This is what anyone with mental maturity above the age 16 will realize. If you doubt me and my points I advise you to strictly follow all 48 laws in the book and see where you end up.

I hear some people say this book can be used as a form of protection agnist other people trying to manipulate you which I agree and while it can be used this way I feel there are other things that might work better.

And remember this " power doesn't mean shit if your life sucks "
