Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for Robert Greene

“Compelling.”—Forbes

“Greene’s specialty is analyzing the lives and philosophies of historical figures like Sun Tzu and Napoleon, and extracting from them tips on how to manipulate people and situations—a cutthroat worldview that has earned him a devoted following among a like-minded readership of rappers, drug dealers and corporate executives.”—The New York Times

"Illuminating.”—The Guardian

“Machiavelli has a new rival. And Sun Tzu had better watch his back. Greene . . . has put together a checklist of ambitious behavior. Just reading the table of contents is enough to stir a little corner-office lust.”—New York magazine

“Beguiling . . . literate . . . fascinating. A wry primer for people who desperately want to be on top.”—People magazine

“An heir to Machiavelli’s Prince . . . gentler souls will find this book frightening, those whose moral compass is oriented solely to power will have a perfect vade mecum.”—Publishers Weekly

Mastery is both a goal and a destination...

While many of the ideas have been covered in other books, this author handles the topics with a fresh sense of urgency, and a lot of good illustration. The message is an overlay of the old joke "how do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice!", with the idea of learning to put your passion first.

There is no magic here, but an excellent personal trainer. Its worth a listen.

Gare Henderson

Developing my uniqueness

On my journey as an entrepreneur I've had many self doubts and internal conflicts, listening and absorbing this book has helped so much in putting things in perspective and realizing that I have to give myself permission to allow the quality time I spend practicing mold who I will eventually become as a business owner.

Inspirational

Learning about how historical figures tamed their minds to achieve great feats is truly inspiring. Throw this book on around the house, and see yourself only progressing your life.

always great

such good historic stories and examples. never lost my attention. the narration was excellent. a must read.

Robert Greene Does it AGAIN!!!!!

This is my third installment of a Robert Greene publication and I must say just like the rest it's GREAT. In my opinion this falls right in line with the 50TH Law. A must read to keep one focus to overcome any and every adversary.

Favorite book of all time

Absolutely phenomenal, time to put the lessons learned into practice in my efforts to achieve mastery!

This is a must read for anyone that is serious about changing their life

If you don’t feel that you are serious or ready for a change in your life then do not pick up this book because it will frankly be wasted on you. This book is for those who want to change their lives or deep down have always felt like there was more to their life but didn’t know how to find it. This book was a major turning point for me. It is full of knowledge and insights that will help you grow, be more confident in yourself and to trust the process and stop being so impatient for results and wait for time and effort to do it’s magic. This is a must read!!!

10 times better than 50 laws of power

I can't believe this is the same author. I hated 50 laws of power. That book was hot garbage. This book is much better. I wouldn't have read this had it not been required by my current schooling. It is well thought out and reads easy. Nothing mind blowing but a few gems.

my second round of listening, I have the paperbac

really loved it, I have the paperback also. I have listen to this one twice now.
