The Disciples of Zeus Podcast: Mastering the 48 Laws of Power

Join Ethan Benstead and James Dent as they dissect Robert Greene's renowned book, The 48 Laws of Power, law by law. In this insightful episode, they delve into Law #4: "Always Say Less Than Necessary," exploring the power of silence, ambiguity, and knowing when to stop talking.

Through engaging discussions and personal anecdotes, Ethan and James unpack the nuances of this counterintuitive law, revealing how saying less can paradoxically make you more intriguing and impactful. They analyze the three facets of the law: leveraging silence as a tool, using vague responses to your advantage, and stopping once your goal is achieved.

Whether you're an aspiring leader, entrepreneur, or simply seeking to enhance your influence, this Episode offers invaluable insights into the art of strategic communication. Join the disciples as they navigate the complexities of power dynamics and equip you with practical strategies to harness the power of saying less.
