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
