The Concise Laws of Human Nature (The Modern Machiavellian Robert Greene)

Great book! Easy to read and very interesting. I always have it in my bag. Even you think you know all those things is written in there, I guarantee you, you'll find something new, useful and fascinating.

Good read and value.

Great book, well designed Definitely recommend reading

Great book

Very good book but its way smaller than expected haha. Still nice tho.

A distilled dose of Robert Greene’s psychological sorcery. The Concise Laws of Human Nature is like handing your future self a cheat sheet for decoding people, politics and power plays. Yes, it’s a trimmed-down version, but don’t mistake that for “lite.” It still cuts deep, just without the long strolls through history. Perfect if you want the insight without the 500-page workout. Think of it as the espresso shot of the full-fat book or a side accompaniment to the audiobook just in less time, same punch. Whether you’re navigating boardroom dynamics or just trying to work out why Janet in Finance always needs to win every meeting, this one gives you the lens. Read it once, keep it close, and re-read before major encounters. Mastery isn’t a chapter, it’s a practice. And this is the field manual written by the Master Supreme Mrs Greene.

A must read.

Honestly, there’re very, very few who’ve written books like these. It’s a niche genre & it’s hugely popular. In all honesty, I believe if R.G. Could knock out ‘a book a year’ in quantity, people would buy them, every year! I’ve purchased all of the books both in paperback & digitally because: having these books in your pocket is quite simply a tactical advantage in so many ways in daily life. If you can only afford to do one or the other—go for digital. It tends to be cheaper & you’ve the flexibility of a ‘pocket’ library at your finger tips! Dear Robert, I know you are busy & living your life; however, if you feel like upping your releases to one every 24 months, I’m there, with you; buying those titles!

It’s very difficult to understand the nature of a human being which is very complicated and complex.Certain times in our lives we react quite impulsively that leaves us questioning our own identity as an individual while triggering questions like, whether something has taken over on us or whether we are falling short of our normal behaviour & intelligence?Similarly,in our daily life we often become victims by the behaviour and ulterior motives of others viz. colleagues,friends,bosses at offices and so on who drain our confidence and simultaneously making us feel depressed.Happening’s like above not only embarrasses us emotionally but also hurts .They slowly erode our self esteem while crippling our relationships .Coming out of such situations is quite difficult and much more painful than said.Sometimes we may try to justify these as irrational actions,or attribute them to unexpressed frustrations or anger(of us or others).But on hindsight we may regret our actions & also resolve ourselves not to repeat the mistakes by being misled and become victims in future.But unfortunately we tend to commit the same mistakes either by our own shortsightedness of judgement or become the victims to our manipulators.We generally think that we are in control of our thoughts and actions but the fact is that we are not,and that is a reality.Most of the time we form an opinion of an individual or judge a person by his or her appearance,talk,manners,style,actions,emotions and so many other factors.When it comes to our individual self we have our own yardstick of judgement and we support ourselves by justifying our actions ,thoughts, and beliefs.What we don’t understand is that our emotions are irresistible and it’s very easy to get trapped in them.The desire for pleasure and avoidance of pain is strongest in all of us.We all need to understand the root cause for this unwanted behaviours .Though,we all want to overcome such instant instincts of behaviour in us but we just can’t quite come of it.As surprisingly we all do this from surface level only without dwelling deep to find the root causes for our actions and behaviour.What if ,if we could be able to put a stop in draining of our self esteem and gain control over our own self?What if,if you can go beyond surface level and dwell deep to understand the emotions,behaviours of both yourself and others and stop becoming a victim again and again?Well I chanced upon the book “The Concise Laws Of Human Nature,” by Robert Greene while listening to a podcast between Mark Manson and the author that shows not only a way to successfully cross across the obstacles but also paves the path for happier and meaningful life.As we read and go through the book, we feel that every concern of us or every such thought that we hold in our mind resonates through the author in the form of different laws.I paused,while reading the various laws mentioned,as they made me wonder if they are the reflection of me and my thoughts in the form of a book.The profound quotes synchs so well with the laws mentioned in the book and they dwell deep into the different aspects of human nature showing us the reasons, causes and also the means to overcome them. The book is simple & candid with an excellent tips and information.I as a reader is overwhelmed by the sheer amount of knowledge that the author holds on the subject of various human nature.An extraordinary book to read & understand human nature that paves the way for your progress.

Perfect

Excellent advice to open your mind to reality of human nature and interaction.
