We are social beings. Our lives depend on our relationships with our fellow humans. Knowing why those around us act in a certain way gives us a unique skill, without which all our other talents are not fully utilized.
Drawing examples from historical figures such as Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King, and many others, Robert Greene shows us how to distance ourselves from our emotions and gain self-control. To develop empathy and insight and to be able to discern what lies behind the masks of our fellow humans. To escape from our comfort zone in order to achieve the fundamental, essential goal of our lives. Whether it is our professional or personal life or the creation of a better world, The Laws of Human Nature offer intelligent tactics for success. Robert Greene has helped millions of readers by distilling ancient wisdom, knowledge, and philosophy into accessible books for those seeking power, improvement, and understanding.
