From the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The 48 Laws of
Power comes the definitive new book on decoding the behavior of the
people around you
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.
