Why You Must Avoid Unlucky People | Law 10

Stop letting other people's misfortune ruin your future. Law 10 of the 48 Laws of Power reveals why negativity is more contagious than any disease and why you must distance yourself from the chronically unhappy and unlucky to survive. In this deep dive into Episode 10 of our series, Alex and Chloe explore the psychological cost of proximity. Based on Robert Greene's 'The 48 Laws of Power', Law 10 - Infection: Avoid the Unhappy and Unlucky - teaches us that humans are highly susceptible to the moods and emotions of those around them. When you associate with people who are perpetually miserable or prone to disaster, you don't just help them; you inherit their bad luck and negative energy. This episode breaks down why negativity spreads faster than support and why your environment might be quietly sabotaging your success without you even noticing. We discuss the importance of emotional intelligence, the art of strategic detachment, and why protecting your peace isn't selfish—it's a requirement for long-term growth. Learn to identify the 'infectious' types who bring chaos wherever they go and discover how to surround yourself with people whose positive traits can rub off on you. If you've ever felt drained by a friend or colleague, this analysis of Law 10 will provide the clarity and strategy you need to set firm boundaries. Join us as we navigate the complex world of power dynamics and self-protection.
