Court attention at all costs from "summary" of The 48 Laws Of Power by Robert Greene

The idea behind this law is simple: in order to exert power and influence over others, you must first capture their attention. Attention is the currency of power, and without it, you are rendered powerless. In a world filled with distractions and competing interests, it is crucial to stand out and make yourself noticed. This could mean adopting a bold and flamboyant style, or it could mean creating controversy and drama to attract attention to yourself. One way to court attention is by being larger than life, by exuding a sense of charisma and magnetism that draws others to you. People are naturally drawn to those who are confident and self-assured, who command attention simply by their presence. By cultivating an aura of power and authority, you can make yourself the center of attention wherever you go. Another tactic is to create a sense of mystery and intrigue around yourself. By remaining enigmatic and unpredictable, you can keep others guessing and wanting more. People are naturally curious creatures, and by playing into this curiosity, you can ensure that all eyes are on you. Of course, it is important to remember that attention for attention's sake is not enough. You must also be able to deliver on the promises you make and live up to the image you have created for yourself. Inconsistency and hypocrisy will quickly erode any power and influence you have gained through attention-seeking behavior. In the end, the key to successfully implementing this law is to strike a balance between being attention-grabbing and being authentic. You must be able to captivate others without coming across as desperate or insincere. By mastering the art of courting attention, you can position yourself as a force to be reckoned with in any social or professional setting.
