  • You've read The 48 Laws of Power and want Greene's insights on empathy, self-control, and reading people accurately.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You're uncomfortable with the idea that understanding people's unconscious motivations requires some moral flexibility.

About this book

Robert Greene examines the drives and motivations behind human behavior, drawing on historical figures including Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, and Martin Luther King Jr. He argues that understanding why people act as they do is essential, since human relationships form the foundation of our lives. Greene teaches methods for managing your own emotions and developing self-control, building empathy to gain insight into others, seeing past people's outward presentations, and resisting conformity to establish your own sense of purpose. The book applies these principles to work, personal relationships, and broader influence, offering tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defense.
