The Laws of Human Nature

Posted on 25 November 2017 by Robert Greene

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 defence.
