About this audiobook

From the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power comes the definitive new book on decoding the behavior of the people around you

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, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, 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-defense.

Ratings and reviews

Insightful and full of glimpses into the minds of some of the greatest players in the books of history. Many stories about many people I've never heard of and many that I have. Each section followed by a summary analysis that clarifies any misunderstanding of the content. Easy to listen to the narrator has a pleasant voice

I connected with his points. But he is also good making you think. In other terms he seems as lost as the brains that atracted/hypnotized that connect to his triangle aka third eye to buy and make a living of thoughts he expressed but where already withing you- the buyer mirrors the seller.

He's always good. Currently listening to it. This book is an eye opener as far as how people behave. It sounds like so many other books, but the research he does and the level of details puts this guy's books far above others in my opinion. I highly recommend this book.
