Description:
WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS BOOK AWARD ''Maxims to live by'' Evening Standard ''Astonishing and poignant'' The Times 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, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions, develop the empathy that leads to insight, 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.
