Robert Greene: The Laws of Human Nature

Description

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 dowhat 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.
