Praise for The Laws of Human Nature:
"The writing is engaging and the ideas are fascinating...
we could all use the insights Greene provides.... a hopeful book
that advocates freedom and creativity." -- Quartz The lessons
have profound implications. There's a chapter on reading body
language that is absolutely profound; each law has stunningly vivid
descriptions of an historical figure." -- Inc. "The Laws of Human
Nature provides some first-rate comprehensive and in-depth
information about how to deal with our fellow human beings
effectively. Greene's intense curiosity about the inner workings of
humanity is contagious, as he invites us to join him as fellow
sleuths on his investigation of why people, including ourselves, do
what we do. He rightly (and frequently) reminds us that in order to
understand others, we must first and foremost understand what makes
ourselves tick." -- New York Journal of Books In this
detailed and expansive guide, Greene (Mastery) seeks to ...
transform the reader into a 'calmer and more strategic observer, '
immune to 'emotional drama.' Those are lofty promises, but even
skeptics will become believers after diving into Greene's
well-organized text. Overcoming the "law of irrationality," for
instance, leads to the ability to "open your mind to what is really
happening, as opposed to what you are feeling." Greene's thoughtful
examination of self and society will, for the committed reader,
deliver a refreshing and revitalizing perspective. --
Publishers Weekly Praise for Robert Greene: Greene's
specialty is analyzing the lives and philosophies of historical
figures like Sun Tzu and Napoleon, and extracting from them tips on
how to manipulate people and situations--a cutthroat worldview that
has earned him a devoted following among a like-minded readership
of rappers, drug dealers and corporate executives. --The New
York Times Compelling. --Forbes Illuminating.--The
Guardian Praise for The 48 Laws of Power: Machiavelli has a new
rival. And Sun Tzu had better watch his back. Greene . . . has put
together a checklist of ambitious behavior. Just reading the table
of contents is enough to stir a little corner-office lust.--New
York magazine Beguiling . . . literate . . . fascinating. A wry
primer for people who desperately want to be on top.--People
An heir to Machiavelli's Prince . . . gentler souls will find this
book frightening, those whose moral compass is oriented solely to
power will have a perfect vade mecum. --Publishers Weekly
Satisfyingly dense and . . . literary, with fantastic examples of
genius power-game players. It's The Rules meets In Pursuit of Wow!
with a degree in comparative literature.--Allure
