Why Being Good Destroys Power — Machiavelli Knew This

The Shocking Cost of Goodness — society rarely tells you why kindness often erodes power instead of protecting it.

In this video, I break down 8 strategic principles from Niccolò Machiavelli’s The Prince that reveal how unchecked goodness weakens authority, why generosity can become a liability, and how moral naïveté invites exploitation. These are not moral lessons—they are lessons in strategy, power psychology, and real-world social dynamics for those who want to survive and thrive in a competitive world.

You’ll learn why history rewards those who understand human nature—not those who ignore it.
