Procrastination is self-sabotage. Recognize it to stop holding yourself back.

We Sabotage Ourselves

Buying on impulse? That's emotions, not logic. Control emotions for better decisions.

Emotions Rule Us

People focus on themselves. Listening to others builds stronger connections.

Everyone is Self-Centered

Actions reveal true intentions, not words. That friendly coworker may have hidden motives.

People Wear Masks

Understanding desires lets you influence others. Control your own for personal growth.

Spending all your savings today can hurt you tomorrow. Think long-term to avoid regrets.

Short-Term Thinking is Risky

A jealous coworker may act distant. Be aware of envy in yourself and others.

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.
