The laws of human nature

Become a master at deciphering human behaviour Humans are social creatures – the ability to understand the behaviour of the people around you is therefore your most effective tool. Human nature is stronger than any individual, any institution, or any technological invention. It influences you every day, and if you can expose this influence and learn to work with it, you will improve the quality of your life and your relationships. Based on the ideas and examples of Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr., and many others, Robert Greene will teach you how to detach from your own emotions and master self-control, how to develop empathy that leads to insight, and how to see behind people's masks. This book will challenge your view of the world while providing you with brilliant tactics to use in your personal and professional life for self-improvement, success, and self-defence. With this book, you will learn, among other things: - how to react in emotionally charged situations, - how not to become a victim and to deal even with people who make your life difficult, - why extremes in human behaviour sometimes hide the complete opposite of a character trait, - why people constantly turn to leaders who appeal to the worst in them, - what causes people's anonymous aggression in the online environment, - why people so desire what others have, - that people are much more mysterious, complex, and interesting than you ever imagined. “What if we could delve beneath the surface, look deep inside, and get closer to the true roots of what drives human behaviour?” – Robert Greene
