The Laws of Human Nature

De: Robert Greene

Narrado por: Paul Michael, Robert Greene

From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The 48 Laws of Power comes the definitive new audiobook on decoding the behavior of the people around you.

Robert Greene is a master guide for millions of listeners, 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"In this detailed and expansive guide, Greene (Mastery) seeks to … transform the reader into a 'calmer and more strategic observer', immune to 'emotional drama'. Those are lofty promises, but even skeptics will become believers after diving into Greene’s well-organized text. Overcoming the 'law of irrationality', for instance, leads to the ability to 'open your mind to what is really happening, as opposed to what you are feeling'. Greene’s thoughtful examination of self and society will, for the committed reader, deliver a refreshing and revitalizing perspective." (Publishers Weekly)

Tempo is key! (1.25X)

Do yourself a favor and set the speed to 1.25X. Puts energy into the reading. It almost sounds like the books default speech speed was reduced after the reader completed recording.

Another good one from Greene

Please don't let the negative comments about the narrators dissuade you from buying this audio book. I found both narrators' voices easy to listen to - and as usual for Greene's books, the content is informative, helpful, and pragmatic.

Robert Greene is a prophet.

Thank you Master Greene for another classic. Machiavelli & Sun Tzu would be impressed by all your works.

Must read for everyone

This book manage to illuminate subconscious patterns I’ve been repeating for a few years now. I’m glad I got to read this book in my 20s saving me a lot of hardship.

A MUST READ to understanding yourself and others

This comprehensive book has substantially provided me with much needed insights about myself and of course human nature (as the title suggests).
ROBERT Greene’s ability to tie in historical events and characters into relatable situations and examples is unparalleled. As long as the book was I am left craving more from this insightful and informative author.
Know Thyself. This books will help you so much in that pursuit.

A Thoughtful Analysis On Human Nature

Not only will this help you understand others better, but it will help you understand yourself better too. The wisdom in this book cannot be understated. This book has changed my life for the better and words cannot express how grateful I am for Greene’s insight and clarity. There isn’t enough space in this review box to express the many reasons why this book is important so all I’ll say is…READ IT.

Great book, but extremely dragged out

The book has some great points, but you get lost in all the story you telling of historical characters. I do wish they would cut the stories and stick to the actual point. It would cut this book time and half and wouldn’t lose on the overall point of the book.

Outstanding Again

Yet another outstanding eye-opening work from Robert Greene, very well performed, insightful, poignant, brings modern life and ancient thought together in the way only he can

great insights

kind of dry. but, packed with thought provoking insights. good look into generational thought and norms patterns.

Robert Greene does it again.

Another win from a man who has become my favorite author for almost 15 years running (since I first discovered The 48 Laws of Power).

Very thought out and loaded with research from the fields of psychology and history (and more).

I have never been disappointed in diving headfirst into any of his works. This one is a bigger piece to chew but well worth the effort.
