Publisher Description
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.

A great read
A must read in order to understand yourself an those around you
Mind blowing
excellent writer I will return with a better review after I finish at
Valuable Lessons of Life. Highly Recommend!
Best book I read on understanding our world and how people operate in it!
This book is placed under self help genre but relies intensely on psychology.
Each chapter gets better than the previous one. First he tells the story of a historical figure displaying certain human characteristics, then an interpretation of the story and events is done followed by 'The Keys to Human Nature' as to how and why we display such traits. There is so much to learn from this book. This tells you all the things to look out for in others as well as yourself. The end result is you begin to analyse people/yourself and you learn to deal with them better.
A book to reread/study thoroughly in order to evolve as a human being. It is very hard to look in the mirror and admit your flaws. But what really pays off is once you acknowledge your weaknesses, you become stronger, and a better person. Robert Greene writes in a friendly manner that makes you feel like you are taking advice from a wise teacher.
