From the million-copy bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power
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-defence.

I always thought bullet journals were just a way to make fancy to-do lists. Considering my handwriting looks like something that even the dread lord Cthulhu would consider slightly illegible and maddening to read, my sentiment was that a bullet journal was nothing for me. How wrong I was I realized after reading this book. It is actually a very tidy and handy system to collect your to-do's and events on a daily basis. There is something very soothing and clarifying in sitting down every day and writing by hand the interesting things that have happened that day, checking and updating your to-do list and/or tracking your habits. The book gives you an easy-to-use system to plan ahead for your days, months and even further into the future and to collect all the information you really need to have in one place.
