📖 Further Reading & Philosophy "The mistake most good people make is thinking the world values a pure heart. In reality, the world values power, security, and the ability to make hard decisions". Machiavelli’s philosophy isn't about becoming "evil"; it's about understanding human nature as it truly is—selfish, fickle, and often ruthless—so you can protect your values with strength rather than weakness.
