Author of the book: "Robert Greene and Joost Elffers"
Warning: This type of book talks about how people can impose power over others, but the goal of learning is to have the point of view of the two sides of the coin, one can use it in your favor or another that you do not allow others use it with him, for that reason I only limit myself to let you know the summary of each law which will help both me and you and, it is your decision how to act on that since I do not agree on all the concepts raised and I think you will not be too.
We will talk about the forty-fourth part 1
LAW

DISARM AND ENRAGE WITH THE MIRROR EFFECT
CRITERION
The mirror reflects reality but it is also the perfect weapon for deception: when you reflect your enemies, doing exactly what they do, your rivals will not be able to deduce your strategy. The Mirror Effect mocks and humiliates them, which leads them to To react in an excessive way. By putting a mirror in front of your psyche, you seduce them with the illusion that you share your values. By reflecting your actions in a mirror, you teach them a lesson. There are very few who can resist the power of Effect. Mirror.
MIRROR EFFECT: Preliminary typology
The mirrors have the power to disturb and disturb us, because when we contemplate ourselves in one of them we usually see what we want to see.
We fix that look to not see details and ignore "defects" of our person, or sometimes we see ourselves as an object rather than a subject, this sensation makes us tremble.
By making us useful with this Mirror Effect we will recreate that force to disturb you by reflecting the actions of others, dislocating people through the perfection of their desires or the imperfection of their actions, for this reason they are classified into 4 types of effects that arise in that area of power
The neutralizing effect
He suggests that this mirror effect should be like a shield as it was in Greek mythology history with Perseus who was looking for Medusa and used his shield to defeat the great Medusa making stone, it was the end of Medusa not being able to see Perseus, only see the reflection of his actions.
In essence this effect means that he must do what his enemies do by imitating their actions, even if they do not suspect his intentions, since they will be blinded by his reflection of person.
Useful to neutralize your enemy's strategies towards you either to deceive or dupe them, so use it as a shield just like Perseus did by urging your opponents into the trap they had planned for you.
The Narcissus effect
This type of effect plays with universal narcissism: you look to the bottom of the other person's soul, and by reflecting with your skill what the person in the deepest part of your being wants lights that spark of sympathy, you could say that his empathy may be a great powerful skill because he plays with the child's unsatisfied love for himself, which we all feel.
Since no one likes to listen and listen to someone else and especially if he brags about that, which leaves that person dissatisfied will give opportunity to his confidence to that person to reflect their most intimate feelings, and at the same time be vulnerable to any trick or deception.
All this happens with our nature of not being able to resist the sensation of seeing ourselves harmoniously reflected in an external world, even when we fabricate that image to satisfy ourselves and achieve our own objectives.
So this type of effect could be beneficial to grant a seductive or courtly power to people depending on the case of course.
The Moral Effect
According to Gracian "The truth is usually seen, very rarely heard", therefore through this mirror effect will give a lesson to make them try the medicine they intend to administer to you, by imitating their own actions, giving guilt to their previous actions and thus being profitable to the power "to manipulate" those unpleasant and unconscious behavior ", possibly winning the liking of these people or reaffirming their desire to make it miserable.
Morally it would be in situations that you consider something out of the ordinary especially harmful to you, thereby mitigating powerful threats as it will make them seem too cruel with the decision of their actions.
The hallucinatory effect
In short, it is to create an exact copy of the person, object or place that others want to see, such as a mannequin, that acts as authentic in the physical sense, but with double intentions, as tricksters that imitate the real world in which it moves. to be able to deceive him.
It has been interesting to talk about this, well it was for me, I hope you have liked, in the next part I will be citing some examples that will give greater veracity to these laws. So without more we will see
