The Laws of Human Nature
Why people do what they do, and how to read the envy, aggression and self-deception they would rather you missed
Greene turns from power to the people who wield it, dissecting the drives, envy, aggression, grandiosity, self-deception, that shape behaviour beneath what people say. Each chapter pairs a psychological law with a historical case and a way to spot the pattern in others and, harder, in yourself. It is his most inward book, arguing that reading human nature accurately is the foundation every other kind of strategy rests on.
