Robert Greene

Robert Greene is an American author who writes about power, strategy and human behaviour, drawing on history rather than self-help convention. His first book, The 48 Laws of Power, distilled three thousand years of statecraft into blunt rules and became an underground bestseller passed around prisons, boardrooms and recording studios alike. The six books since, among them Mastery and The Laws of Human Nature, apply the same method: read widely across history and biography, then extract the patterns. He has written seven international bestsellers.
