  One of the most amazing books I’ve ever read. I heard it on audible first. I loved it so much I bought the actual book.

  Humans are social animals whose lives depend on our relationships with people. Our own skills are not enough, we need to know why people do what they do.
  
  Robert Greene’s book takes ideas from Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others to teach us what he considers to be critical to survive humanity. Detachment from our own emotions, self-control, and how to not conform to what everyone else wants us to be.
  
  The theme of this book is just how irrational and unreasonable people are. It suggests that to be rational is good and the author’s stated solution is ‘I don’t need to feel this way and maybe what’s going on in the world is not what I think.’ He suggests that we meditate and remember life goes on.
  
  Chapter one Master Your Emotional Self follows an introduction that tells us “we inevitably have to deal with a variety of individuals who stir up trouble and make our live difficult and”.  The introduction tells us that “we inevitably have to deal with a variety of individuals, who stir up trouble, and make our lives difficult and unpleasant.” 
  
  The book is 609 pages long. It has an index and 18 chapters but I would only give it 2 stars for having anything unique to offer.

  The stories related to the laws are well chosen. I enjoyed the story of Chekov, John D Rockefeller, and Coco Chanel. Even though the book is a bit too long with lots of detail, the laws are simple to understand and give eye opening insight on how to deal with people and gain more control of your life. Lots of hidden gems if you read closely.

  Greene proofs once again to be an in-depth teacher of human nature

  I found this a really interesting, albeit cynical set of proposals about human beings. It lost me later on in terms of persuasion and coercion as helpful behaviours.
