INSIGHT

  • This need stems from our physical vulnerability and childhood dependence compared to other animals.
INSIGHT

Power is Subtle and Indirect

  • True power in modern society requires indirect, subtle influence rather than brute force.
  • Needy or overt power-seeking signals weakness and invites backlash from peers.
ADVICE
