Title: The Laws of Human Nature Pdf
From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The 48 Laws of Power comes the definitive new audiobook on decoding the behavior of the people around you.
Robert Greene is a master guide for millions of listeners, 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.
Neither laws nor really about human nature I was so looking forward to this book as his previous I found to be very much along a Machiavellian line of reasoning, baring human nature in all its uncomfortable glory. This book neither delineates human nature as it has been understood throughout the ages, nor reveals any laws. 'Reconnect to the Masculine or Feminine Within You' is one of many examples straight out of postmodernist new age therapeutic psychobabble. Furthermore, it seems that the word 'law' doesn't mean what the author thinks it means. If you are looking for an accounting of the wisdom of the ages in regards to human nature, this isn't it. I give this one star because the title made such grandiose claims. But of course, all this said, Robert Greene is a brilliant author. So what gives?My pure speculation is that shallow money grubbers at the publishing house, Viking, wanted to lube and shoehorn this author in to the lucrative 'Self-Help' genre, which as we all know, is the top selling category among books, next to the cookbook category. This is his worst book and I am debating returning it.Different from Past Greene Books This book is written in the reverse of his past works. Instead of getting historical examples and then interpretation you get long literal explanations of these various laws of human nature followed by a historical example.The change in format is not for the better nor is the execution. The real problem is that Greene goes on too long in his explanations of each law. It becomes boring at times. The discussion on narcissists borders on obsession. This book is closer to Mastery than it is his other works.There's still much to like of course. I think his explanations of the laws are correct and useful. Just too much. The historical examples are excellent of course but there are too few of them.If you are a Greene fan I think you'll see this one is different and just not up to the excellence of past works. Still enjoyable and worth the purchase. Just not overwhelmingly great.This book is like therapy 1st day - Huh I guess everybody craves attention2nd day - Oh my god I have been repressing my essentially anger nature for years.This book rapidly alerted me to the parts of myself that I have been trying to hide from myself for years.In addition to that this book will give you a bunch of information on how to understand and interact with other people.
