Robert Greene is a
master guide for millions of readers, distilling ancient wisdom and
philosophy into essential texts for seekers of power, understanding and
mastery. Now he turns to the most important subject of all -
understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are
unconscious of them themselves.
We are social animals. Our very
lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do
what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which
our other talents can only take us so far. Drawing from the ideas and
examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many
others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions
and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to
insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity
to develop your singular sense of purpose. Whether at work, in
relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defense
