The free and cheap editions are almost always translations from the 1890s or 1900s, because that's what's out of copyright. They were written to sound old and important, and they do. That's why you get twenty pages in and quit. Same book, modern translation, and it reads like a person talking to you. Before you buy any classic, look up the translator and the date. If they died before 1930, find a different edition. It's usually the whole difference between finishing and not.

Is The Prince a manual for tyrants, or the most honest book ever written about how power actually operates? Machiavelli says a ruler should be feared rather than loved. That appearing virtuous matters more than being virtuous. That results excuse methods. Which sounds monstrous. But he also claimed he was only describing what rulers actually do, rather than the flattering fiction everyone else was writing. So is naming the ugly truth the same as endorsing it? We're reading it in September in The Canon Club, and I suspect we're going to disagree with each other productively. But I'm curious where people land before they open it. Where's your instinct?

These stats are wild. Check it out. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗡𝗨𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥𝗦 (as of 9:15am!): 🔹 14 — current Level 7 members (out of 1,038) 🔹 17 — members with less than 1,000 points to cross into Level 7 🔹 1% — the average share of Level 7 members across 20 other Skool communities I snooped through 🔹 Me — Level 7 in 6 of those 20 communities, Level 8 in 2 more (and Level 9 right here 😏) Those numbers got me spinning down a rabbit hole thinking that I need to see how other communities stack up. So snooping commenced! 👀 Turns out 1% is basically the standard Level 7 percentage everywhere. We're already at 1.3%... BUT! When all 17 below cross over? 2.99% baby! And that's basically 3% 😉 Triple the norm! How freaking cool is that!? Oh and @Michelle Cyr is 2,360 points from being our first-ever Level 8. Not if. When! So... who's crossing into Level 7 next? 👇 🔥𝗦𝗢 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗘 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗖𝗔𝗡 𝗧𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘 𝗜𝗧 @Joe Sargent — 77 points @Liisa Reimann — 166 points @Carlo Tassone — 188 points 🚀 𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗨𝗡𝗪𝗔𝗬 @Rose Colbourne — 270 points @Liz Lemarchand — 310 points @Tiffany Noel Taylor — 320 points @LM Sharron — 331 points @Amanda Mirrlees — 344 points @Elena Maren — 367 points ⚡ 𝗕𝗨𝗜𝗟𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗠𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗨𝗠 @Jill Hart — 534 points @Miri Campbell — 639 points @Angel Conway — 662 points 🎯𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗦𝗘 @Alida Vermeulen — 717 points @Adelina Rosa — 742 points @AnneMarie Kovach — 778 points @Karin Crawford — 819 points @Donna Thornton — 850 points
