About this listen

Robert Greene is a master guide for millions, 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.

Yet another stellar tome from Greene that outlines in a clear and actionable way, many of the social forces that affect us and how we can adapt to thrive within this web. Narration was a pleasure to listen to and I feel like I have learned so much and enjoyed doing so.

A great effort has been put in this book trying to decipher and reverse-engineer us as humans. And one of the most difficult tasks is to look that closely at yourself trying to maintain your objectivity all the while when you are doing it. I would recommend this book to anyone. Keep up the good work, Robert Greene.

Fantastic Job

Loved it, don't be scared by the length, every minute of it covers important aspects and insights into human nature that i think all humans can benefit from listening too, wish I had come across it sooner, 28+ hours of wisdom.

Excellent listen

A distillation of the most important aspects of human nature. As social creatures it's important to know how you and other humans operate. Knowledge of these laws will help you better understand yourself and your fellow humans. Although the times are changing, human nature hasn't . This book will be a source of self-development and will aid you to better navigate this complex world as a human.

Incredibly well researched, broad and deep book with fascinating insights into human nature. I love Robert Greene’s work but the one thing I continue to find in all his books is a denseness that makes it difficult to read continuously. Maybe this is done on purpose 🤷🏾‍♂️ amor fati!

Fascinating but too dense

A must read for anybody interested in human motivation/nature. Very easy listening; great voicing .

Another exquisite piece of work from Robert Greene
