Critic reviews

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

An amazing listen!

Exceptional

Great book. Creates a whole other level of self awareness. Would recommend to anyone who feels they are at a stand still in life.

Outstanding Work!

I feel this book is very comprehensive and well written. It is a spellbinding account of masters through history, how they achieved their status and what you and I can do to get to mastery ourselves. I especially enjoyed his take on the importance of mentorship and the apprentice system. I can only imagine the hours of research and effort that went into creating this tome. Thank you for your tireless contribution to humanity Robert, it is clear you seek mastery in your own life.

very intelligent writing

great book! However compared to seduction or power from the same author , it's my least favorite.
