Does This Sound Like You?
Everyone likes me, but I don’t get enough respect.
Career is a pain point of mine. I see others coast through it while I struggle. I feel there was something missing that I didn’t get, while others did, and they benefited from it.
I recently discovered the whole ‘red pill’ and power dynamics between man-woman after my breakup.
My problem is I have been too ‘nice’ to my partner and always did what she wanted. A typical beta male you could say.
I’m an entrepreneur and I fall to much into other people’s frames in talks and negotiation. Whenever someone has a persuasive argument I’m stumped and find myself going along with them, even when it’s not in my best interest
In didn’t have a strong father figure and couldn’t learn good social skills. In adulthood I’ve been something of a classic “nice guy.”
Some of my relatives were very manipulative people. I now understand that I was blind to it all and too submissive. I was the epitome of naive.
I’m an early-stage entrepreneur and the more experience I got, the I felt that I must be missing some practical pieces of the puzzle. One piece was my weakness in understanding and navigating social dynamics in real-time.
I’ve done well in school, but I’m too conflict avoidant and people-pleasing and my over-friendliness can pass for submissiveness. This is costing me for my career as well as my dating and relationships.
I’m not happy with how my life has gone post-university, especially professionally. It’s tough to watch your friends go past you.
I never felt too competent in social situations or dating and anxious around people. Overall, I don’t have enough confidence.
I never had guidance growing up and I was hopelessly clueless of power dynamics. I was just a really nice honest guy being very helpful to others and being taken advantage of and walked over and thrown away. yeah, you get it…
Standing up for myself and knowing what to say in the moment – gosh, that is a challenge for me. I either don’t say anything, or I feel like I go out too hard.
I am a good person, and it pains me to see so much goodwill wasted because of people playing power games.
But again and again, I forget the rules, I assume people are genuinely good, and I get disappointed again.
I did not understand people and got hurt badly.
YOU’RE
NOT ALONE
I was too much of a nice guy and I worked on it.
I took several years of self-defense classes like Judo and Krav-Maga.
It helped, and even just knowing how to throw a punch makes a big difference. But the biggest difference in my confidence was still made by Power Univeristy.
I had read lots of books by Robert Greene before getting to know The Power Moves, and while I enjoyed them very much, the improvement in my life I got from those was essentially insignificant.
(…)
Jordan Peterson is an outstanding person and much of what he teaches is really really useful, including the key concept (also in TPM) that unless you can think as an evil person, you already lost. But I doubt I would have understood much without TPM first.
In the end, Power University is simply the best source on how to become aware of power dynamics and use them to protect yourself and advance in life. It is the detail of the explanation and the comprehensiveness of the content that makes a difference.
Most psychology books are helpful, but they’re most theoretical (…)
I must say (Power University) it’s the most profound work I’ve ever seen in my life because of the extreme applicability in real life
.
In the past I tried Charisma University but while I thought the content was good I didn’t feel like it worked well for me because the high energy style of charisma is quite exhausting for me, and I feel being quick to laughter and speaking through a smile etc makes me come across as low-power and makes people respect me less.
(…)
After going through CU and realizing it wasn’t for me I stumbled back here by accident and decided to join PU.
Needless to say, that was one of the best decisions I ever made.
I was unconvinced and skeptical about all this “power talk”, but as I dag deeper into Power University I realized that it’s exactly what I was missing. People don’t come to tell me how “powerful” I am, (people) come to tell me how much more charismatic I am, but I know that in truth it’s only because I could correct my “too nice guy” mistakes and I stopped giving all the power away and that’s what made all the difference.
After studying PU my partner has started to really be attracted to me at a primordial level, like she never was -and I as well to her
(…)
All the power moves from her are disappearing, she now tries to be more loving, closer, more helpful than ever
(…)
Other women whom I find attractive approach me or show high interest, sometimes even when my partner is present
I was not sure whether to join Power Univeristy because after several years of self-development work and entrepreneurial experience and I frankly thought I couldn’t gain much more from another course. I’m so happy I did join though and so happy to have been proven wrong. Power University made me a better entrepreneur, a more effective negotiator in business, and a better reader of personalities. Now I can hire better, motivate more, and the team peforms better because they respect me more as a leader.
Thanks to Power University I gained more respect in all areas of my life.
(Wife’s name) told me tonight she now feels that “I can protect her”.
I now realize that, in the situations where people treated us two “wrongly” in the past when we were together, the issue was… me.
I was the one who was supposed to do what I’m doing now, ie take care of things for the couple. At restaurants, my family, her family, with friends, and in so many other situations.
You can’t imagine how many times we two bickered for unrelated things – and, I now understand that our quarrels were basically all really due to me not seeing the dynamics and thus not being able to do what needed to be done.
Power University changed all of that for me and the benefits are not just for me, but also for us as a couple.
I bought Power University a few months ago. I am glad I did it as the content is invaluable. It made me a more effective man, more confident, and generally happier with myself. I now radiate masculine energy and I love it.
Today, 6 months after my initial purchase, I negotiated a 15% raise and met a beautiful woman who is totally devoted to me. And I don’t think I would be at this point of my life if it weren’t for power University. In the beginning there was a selfish part of me who wanted to keep Power University secret. But I grew past that defensive mindset. As much as it made a better man, everyone should have that same right. And it’s going to be good for all.
We share here some reviews and testimonials for Power University.
Later down the page you also have the reviews of "those who didn't like it", together with our responses.
And here you can find a quantitative analysis of the results Power University delivered to our alumni.
Let's start:
Power University Video Reviews
Power University is literally changing my life. More than one person came to tell me I'm different -for the better-. Not to mention how more confident I feel now knowing and noticing the power moves happening all the time. Of all the money I've spent on self-help books and courses this was by far the best investment.
I was expecting good content, but I also thought I was going to read things I already knew. Boy, I was wrong. It's the first time I'm hearing about most of this stuff, even though I bought dozens of other courses and had a mentor for a year. I only went through module 1 but I can already see what potential this knowledge has to improve my life. Power University paints the big picture and connects the pieces of the puzzle. I think the course is worth much, much more.
I had my reservations before signing up, but with only module 1 done I learned SO much more about the power dynamics that happened in my own relationships than I had EVER. Which is both awesome and disturbing
-Dayane
I'm completely blown away by the material of this course. I have an elite background, first class education, and yet I didn't have a clue about this stuff. This material is so powerful that I couldn't help but feel angry that I had been kept in the dark.
The lessons on frame control and video examples have opened my mind. I can come up with frame control techniques on the fly.
- Anthony R.
Power University is amazing. It already helps me to unnecessarily lower my power. It gives me strength and clarity, and keeps me from going back to my shy and defensive behavior.
- Kevin S.
I've never seen before something so complete, deep, and versatile in one program. And It works. In a few weeks I’ve increased my social intelligence by many folds.
- Ang
I discovered that I was sending lots of submissive signals (...) and giving my power away. And if I'm unconsciously communicating that I don't deserve respect, why should other people bother. (...) A necessary wake-up call for me, and now I can correct course. (...) I highly recommend this course.
- Leon
Power University Public Reviews
These are public reviews.
You can check them for yourself by following the links.
Keep in mind the course was previously called "Social Power", so some reviews reference "Social Power" instead of "Power University", but they're the same thing (actually, "Power University" is far better as it's gone through several updates).
- Most actionanable course out there
I took a lot of courses (...) from well-known individuals and respectable institutions (...) Mindvalley, Tony Robbins, Robbin Sharma, Robert Moore, Vanessa Van Edwards among many others. I learned a ton but the best, the ultimate course I have joined so far belongs to a man I had never heard before. His name is Lucio Buffalmano.
M. Coleman
(...)
This is a life changer (...) his course works and is probably the most actionable course out there. I truly recommend it to anyone who wants to gain social power. Because when you gain social power, you gain success.

- That course is genuinely amazing
See the review here.
for full disclosure, the full review is:
That course is genuinely amazing despite it looking like some 12 year old fresh off a power trip from 48 laws of power wrote the advertising for it
I appreciated the feedback on the marketing side :).
- "My partner is more attracted to me, and so are other women"
After studying PU my partner has started to really be attracted to me at a primordial level, like she never was -and I as well to her
(...)
All the power moves from her are disappearing, she now tries to be more loving, closer, more helpful than ever
(...)
Other women whom I find attractive approach me or show high interest, sometimes even when my partner is present
Also from the forum, but given the more personal nature of this review, I choose not to link to it out of respect for the author.
However, this is normal and expected as you become higher power.
- There is no course that even comes close (when it comes to dealing with people)
Power University is the best course I've ever taken. I'm confident that there is no course that comes even close to covering the Power University curriculum of dealing with other people as well as Power University does

- You will gain an edge in life
And the sooner you start, the better:
You can see this review here (plus my answer).
- You will see results in your real life
Note: John actually came up with the strategy that he applied himself, putting together different pieces of information, so all the credit to him.
I then added that strategy to Power University (thanks, John!).
- One of the best investments for personal wealth
As somebody who's starting to come to the end of a carer I can say (...) this is literally the best investment you could make
That's talking from a career perspective (there is a whole module on career strategies and power dynamics).
The little money you're paying now, will likely turn into 10x more income and success during your career.
- Mind-boggling growth
I joined the course Charisma University, but when I failed to connect with new people using the techniques, my tiny pieces of self esteem shattered.
(...)
I was so sick of living in constant stress and fear of my neighbor that I decided to buy PU. And holy sh*t am I happy I did. The growth I've seen since I joined is tremendous. As I'm typing this out it's almost mind boggling to see how far I've managed to come in a little over a year.
(...)
Since I joined I've learned to see the world through a new lens, the lens that we here call power awareness. With this lens I've been able to improve relationships, stand up to my boss(es) on several occasions, learned to how to give value to the people around me, and just in general learned to enforce boundaries and stand up for myself and what I believe in.
(...)
Most of all, since I joined Power University I've realized that I hold all the power to turn myself into any sort of person I want to become, and to shape my life into the life I want to live. As I write this I know I have a long way to go, but now I know that I have what it takes to achieve anything I set my mind to.

- Potentially better than the competition
- Social ju-jitsu techniques take your social skills to advanced level
I was blown away by this concept. It completely changed my way of interacting with people, for real.
This was a case study on handling micro-aggressions and covert aggressions, which together account for probably 90% of all aggressions you'll go through in your life.
Now, thanks to John's initial question and feedback, it's a lesson in the "advanced social skills" module.

- You will get rid of submissivness and become more assertive
What I learnt in the course is gonna extend to a lifetime ahead of me. It really helped me in terms of asserting myself. I can not describe my gratitude for this knowledge of power.

Power University Email Reviews
Some of the email feedback:
- So good you wanna keep it secret
For me this course is too valuable to ever let it have search history
My answer: don't worry about others studying the same. First of all, this website is niche enough that you will most likely not meet anyone else who has taken this advanced type of training. And two, most people are too lazy to train themselves to elite levels.
So, yeah... That's your chance, guys:
- Groundbreaking: there's no comparison on the market
It's the first time I'm hearing about most of this stuff, even though I bought dozens of other courses and had a mentor for a year. The course is worth much, much more.
And:
Eye-opener (...) the subtle and hidden power moves totally mind-blowing (...) I feel so lucky (...) Thank you for teaching me the most valuable currency in life
And:
Since then the course has improved 5x
And:
And:
And:
And:
Mind-blowing stuff. I'm getting a ton out of it.
Yeah, it's a life-changing course, but full access is a different product. On the other hand, Power University covers all the basics, so you might not need the full website access.
And:
It's by far the best self-help I've ever come across
Note: the course was previously called "Social Power", that's why the subject line
And:
I'm blown away by the value of your course. I'm not even at chapter 2 yet.
And:
And:
And:
The Power University is literally changing my life (...) each small thing I learn about social dynamics makes me realize how oblivious I was. More than one person came to tell me that I'm different somehow, for the better. This was, by far, the best investment.
And:
I have not finished going through the entirety of PU but I have already benefited tremendously from the knowledge and wisdom included.
I have made a quantic leap in power awareness (not surprisingly as I didn't even know the concept before) and I have improved very significantly in terms of coming across as more powerful and less vulnerable.
Now the material is quite long so I have not finished it yet but I am already planning to go through it a second time.
I think it's the best material in terms of self development I have come across so far, at least for my personality type ( clueless in terms of power interaction, too humble publicly and frankly too submissive)
Thanks for the tips for keeping up with the learning.
Feel free to use my email to advertise to potential customers. It is a sincere feedback.
PS: I completely agree to the " even if it takes a year, it will be beneficial". In fact, I think one should not hurry as the material is quite dense and there is a lot of wisdom in there. I cannot imagine how long it must have take you to create this content!
T.S., happy PU customer
And:
I completed the survey, and I wanted to also reply to tell you I have found Power University to be the single best investment I have ever made in myself. I am still fairly new to the program, and of course social skills involve life-long learning, so there is room for even more improvement than what I indicated on the survey. If there is anywhere you would like me to express my praise for the program more publicly, just let me know and I would be happy to do that.

Customer Service Reviews
The people enrolling in Power University are actively improving their lives.
And I feel like we are kindred souls.
People who want more for themselves and their lives, and take concrete steps to have it.
And without them, this website wouldn't exist.
I always prioritize customers above anything else:
That was one of the first customers. And since then, the customer experience has only improved
Thank you very much for the amazing customer service. Not only did you show great respect, but you also understood my situation and offered me alternatives so I could enjoy the services that TPM has to offer.
M.A., Happy PU customer
I'm looking forward to acquiring more products from TPM in the future.
Best regards,
XXX
P.S:
Feel free to put that review in the TPM website or in any other social media that you prefer. I´ll refer my friends and family to this website.
Power University Negative Reviews
ThePowerMoves.com is not your typical business.
To begin with, it prioritizes product over marketing (there still isn't even a video or a teaser to advertise Power University).
Another way ThePowerMoves.com is different is by being far more open as to what happens behind the curtains.
So I'm including here the feedback of those who didn't vibe with Power University.
It's rare, but anything can happen.
This alumnus was looking for something shorter:
Power University can be a life-changer... If you are willing to spend some effort
I immediately refunded P, no questions asked.
P was not a good fit for the course, and I knew it.
We aren't yet in an era where we can install wisdom and skills by plugging a cable in our brain (and trust me sometimes I wish we were already :).
In our era, life doesn't change without some action. So you still need to do your part.
When Women's Sections Were Lacking
Power University constantly improves its curriculum.
The last major update was thanks to a customer called Kristina.
Kristina thought Power University was too male-centric:
I am extremely grateful for Kristina's feedback.
This is what she went on to say:
Kristina had a great point.
There is no such resource to teach women how to strategically handle power and success while still remaining likable and feminine.
And that's exactly what this website provides: smart social strategies for life success.
Since then and for 5 months I did nothing but research women and power.
All of my quarantine 15-hours workdays also all went into this project.
So I got the books she suggested. And many more. I delved into the research literature for women and power, and women in the workplace.
I recalled all instances of powerful women I've met, and I scoured movies and YouTube for real-life examples.
And I condensed all that knowledge into a few lessons tailored for women only. One addressing the mindsets, one addressing career strategies, and one on how to combine power and femininity.
All with practical examples and videos.
Now Power University is the best course on the market for women who seek to combine personal success with social success.
So if you're a woman, this might be for you:
When you hate PU (and its author) because you got kicked out of it
Well, this was interesting.
I removed this user from PU and refunded her the initial price she paid.
And that eventually led the user to say it was "the worst experience she's ever had".
I fully accept the reality of her negative experience seen from her point of view.
On the positive side, if you think about it, the fact that one got so emotional and so badly wanted to stay in PU tells you a lot about how good it can be for you.
And then she says:
Her complaint confirms that every time we said that "the price will go up", we told the truth.
And the only reason why the price has gone up 10x is that the quality has gone up 100x.
So you actually get far better value now.
By the way, you can also learn more about how to handle challenging situations like an irate customer in PU.
Independent Authors' Reviews
And I will end with another public review.
This is what Alexander, an early student of Power University, says of the people he has learned from:
You can see that review here.
Full disclosure on vid reviews: since some students wish to remain anonymous, for some videos, I hired a professional to read the reviews aloud. The speaker's gender, race, and skin color are random.
To keep the videos short and meaningful I sometimes cut the original (video)reviews. Overall, the videos preserved the original meaning. And I believe the video reviews are a faithful and realistic representation of the full (text-based) reviews.
