The 50th Law

By: 50 Cent, Robert Greene

Narrated by: 50 Cent, Robert Greene

In The 50th Law, hip hop and pop culture icon 50 Cent (aka Curtis Jackson) joins forces with Robert Greene, best-selling author of The 48 Laws of Power, to write a "bible" for success in life and work, based on a single principle: fear nothing.

With intimate stories from 50 Cent's life on the streets and in the boardroom as he rose to fame after the release of his album Get Rich or Die Tryin', as well as examples of others who have overcome adversity through understanding and practicing the 50th Law, this deeply inspirational book is perfect for entrepreneurs as well as anyone interested in the extraordinary life of Curtis Jackson.

Makes 'The Secret' seem like a fairytale

If you could sum up The 50th Law in three words, what would they be?

Sublime
Evidence based
Manditory

What was one of the most memorable moments of The 50th Law?

The turning point for me was something that I am currently benefiting from. The POWER OF PROCESS. One quote that I remember roughly said, "The cause of all man's problems are due to his inability to sit alone, in a room, for many hours." This "druge-work" is a powerful duty we all have in anything that we may be trying to get better at. It is these long a repetitive tasks that makes us sharpen our sword for wielding in a world full of unmasterful types. You will stick out if you stick to it!!

Have you listened to any of 50 Cent and Robert Greene ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No I haven't yet.. I plan on listening to this over and over and then moving on to Robert's previous work on the 48 Laws of Power. I'm not sure if the book or the audio will be better for that though.

What insight do you think you’ll apply from The 50th Law?

This is not merely a take this or that and try and apply it. It is a feet first deep end dive to the truth of what we really want. This is OWNERSHIP! Salvery seems so taboo but it is real even today! We are decided for without thinking from businesses left and right and we can not eve make our own decisions! WE ARE UNTRAINED in our confidence of self relience. Like a cat that will die in the wild if he does not grow up there. Are we living?..Or are we just merely surviving?

Any additional comments?

You must change your mind before you can change your actions. This is not pop-tarts folks. This is wild bison meat you just killed yesterday. Learn to provide for yourself! Wake up or die.

Deeply inspired

I’ve heard 50’s story before but never from a business perspective. I saw so many aspects of myself, in that I can be timid and weak in some areas of my life. I’ll never be as brass as 50 nor do I want to be, but I have to develop a stronger mindset. I love this book and I’ll carry it with me everyday as I interact with others.

The best book to read for any walk of life!

I have many books but none like this one! The audible was and is the best way to go. I listen to this countlessly. Take notes immensely! And, practice these principles daily. 50 is amazing and I admire the man’s work ethic and most importantly, his business acumen. One of the best books by far. If I had ever wanted to intern underneath his genius, this my dear is the closest I think at this time I could ever learn from him! GREAT WORK! Loved every word! And, look forward to playing it again. Now, on to Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter!

Great audiobook

Great audiobook I had a great time listening and learning. I will try and apply these ideas which I know will work.

"Banal" rhymes with "canal" not "anal"

If I can get past the narrator pronouncing banal wrong over and over, which clearly I can't (I've never read anything that used the word "banal" quite so much), I actually was pleasantly surprised by this book. The biographical pieces were pretty repetitive and could have been a little more developed, but the comparison between major historical figures and 'hood life and the reciprocal interpretation of history from a 'hood point of view was really interesting and compelling. We could all learn a lot of creative business strategies from those with street smarts, but I'd never though about learning self help/life lessons from the street life. All in all, the book was worth the listen, despite some structural problems. Still... make sure you pronounce "banal" right or you'll sound like a real roob.

Love it

I read this book hard copy years ago, read Mastery recently and wanted to hear this book on Auduble. I can now see how this book inspired Mastery because he touched on those subjects a little towards the end of this book.

I love how it uses 50, but not too much 50. He explains how to deal with Passive aggressive people (which helps me at work). I'm probably gonna read (or listen to) this book again.

Love this book!

This book was awesome. I'll definitely be reading it over and over along with my other Robert Greene titles. Thanks guys!

Helps Ensure Focus

I have read this book 2x, This was my first experience listening via audible. As always this book helps me put Life back into Retrospect. Thanks
