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.
