Blog postThe time has come to officially announce my fifth book, Mastery.
In early 2007, I had an epiphany. For the previous eleven years I had immersed myself in a study of the most powerful people in history. I had read one biography after another about great political figures, strategists, scientists, artists, and inventors. And on that particular day, as I was reviewing some old material, it finally struck me: all of these people—no matter their field, culture, or moment in history—followe10 years ago Read more -

Titles By Robert Greene
In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.
Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.
Each one of us has within us the potential to be a Master. Learn the secrets of the field you have chosen, submit to a rigorous apprenticeship, absorb the hidden knowledge possessed by those with years of experience, surge past competitors to surpass them in brilliance, and explode established patterns from within. Study the behaviors of Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Leonardo da Vinci and the nine contemporary Masters interviewed for this book.
The bestseller author of The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, and The 33 Strategies of War, Robert Greene has spent a lifetime studying the laws of power. Now, he shares the secret path to greatness. With this seminal text as a guide, readers will learn how to unlock the passion within and become masters.
When raised to the level of art, seduction, an indirect and subtle form of power, has toppled empires, won elections and enslaved great minds. Immerse yourself in the twenty-four maneuvers and strategies of the seductive process, the ritual by which a seducer gains mastery over his target. Understand how to "Poeticize Your Presence," “Keep them in Suspense – What Comes Next” and “Master the Art of the Bold Move”. Every bit as essential as The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction is an indispensable primer of persuasion that reveals one of history's greatest weapons and the ultimate form of power.
Robert Greene is a master guide for millions of readers, 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.
From the world’s foremost expert on power and strategy comes a daily devotional designed to help you seize your destiny.
Robert Greene, the #1 New York Times bestselling author, has been the consigliere to millions for more than two decades. Now, with entries that are drawn from his five books, plus never-before-published works, The Daily Laws offers a page of refined and concise wisdom for each day of the year, in an easy-to-digest lesson that will only take a few minutes to absorb. Each day features a Daily Law as well—a prescription that readers cannot afford to ignore in the battle of life. Each month centers around a major theme: power, seduction, persuasion, strategy, human nature, toxic people, self-control, mastery, psychology, leadership, adversity, or creativity.
Who doesn’t want to be more powerful? More in control? The best at what they do? The secret: Read this book every day.
“Daily study,” Leo Tolstoy wrote in 1884, is “necessary for all people.” More than just an introduction for new fans, this book is a Rosetta stone for internalizing the many lessons that fill Greene’s books and will reward a lifetime of reading and rereading.
Robert Greene’s groundbreaking guides, The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, and Mastery, espouse profound, timeless lessons from the events of history to help readers vanquish an enemy, ensnare an unsuspecting victim, or become the greatest in your field. In The 33 Strategies of War, Greene has crafted an important addition to this ruthless and unique series.
Spanning world civilizations, synthesizing dozens of political, philosophical, and religious texts and thousands of years of violent conflict, The 33 Strategies of War is the I-Ching of conflict, the contemporary companion to Sun Tzu’s The Art of War.
Abundantly illustrated with examples from history, including the folly and genius of everyone from Napoleon to Margaret Thatcher, Shaka the Zulu to Lord Nelson, Hannibal to Ulysses S. Grant, as well as movie moguls, Samurai swordsmen, and diplomats, each of the thirty-three chapters outlines a strategy that will help you win life’s wars. Learn the offensive strategies that require you to maintain the initiative and negotiate from a position of strength, or the defensive strategies designed to help you respond to dangerous situations and avoid unwinnable wars. The great warriors of battlefields and drawing rooms alike demonstrate prudence, agility, balance, and calm, and a keen understanding that the rational, resourceful, and intuitive always defeat the panicked, the uncreative, and the stupid. An indispensable book, The 33 Strategies of War provides all the psychological ammunition you need to overcome patterns of failure and forever gain the upper hand.
El best seller mundial para los que quieren obtener, estudiar o combatir el poder absoluto.
Amoral, inmisericorde, despiadada y, sobre todo, muy instructiva, esta incisiva obra concentra tres mil años de historia del poder en cuarenta y ocho leyes claras y concisas. Robert Greene detalla las leyes del poder en su esencia más cruda, sintetizando el pensamiento de Maquiavelo, Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz y otros grandes teóricos y estrategas. Algunas leyes sugieren la prudencia ("Ley n° 1: nunca le haga sombra a su amo"); otras, el sigilo ("Ley n° 3: disimule sus intenciones"); otras más, una total falta de piedad ("Ley n° 15: aplaste por completo a su enemigo"). Pero, nos guste o no, todas tienen aplicaciones en la vida cotidiana. Ilustradas mediante anécdotas de Isabel II, Henry Kissinger, P.T. Barnum y otras figuras que han esgrimido el poder (o que lo han padecido), estas leyes fascinarán a cualquiera que se interese en todas las manifestaciones del control total.
In The 50th Law, hip hop and pop culture icon 50 Cent (aka Curtis Jackson) joins forces with Robert Greene, bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power, to write a “bible” for success in life and work based on a single principle: fear nothing. With stories from 50 Cent's life on the streets and in the boardroom as he rose to fame after the release of his album Get Rich or Die Tryin’, as well as examples of others who have overcome adversity through understanding and practicing the 50th Law, this deeply inspirational book is perfect for entrepreneurs as well as anyone interested in the extraordinary life of Curtis Jackson.
Un agudo examen sobre la esencia de la seducción: el modo de influencia más refinadola forma más embriagante del poder.
El encanto, la persuasión, el talento para crear ilusiones: és-tas son tres de las muchas habilidades del seductor, ese individuo irresistible y capaz de manipular, engañar y dar placer a la vez. Llevada a la altura del arte, la seducción ha acabado con imperios, ganado elecciones presidenciales y esclavizado a las mentes más brillantes. En este libro revelador, Robert Greene expone las dos caras del acto seductor: el carácter y el proceso. Por un lado, detalla las nueve clases de personalidad seductora; por el otro, disecciona las veinticuatro maniobras y estrategias que hacen que la víctima caiga rendida. A partir de las ideas de autores como Freud y Kierkegaard, y las historias de figuas como Cleopatra, John F. Kennedy y Andy Warhol, Greene presenta un compendio magistral sobre una de las ar-mas más poderosas de la humanidad.
La naturaleza humana es más fuerte que cualquier individuo, institución o tecnología. Dirige nuestras obras y nos mueve como peones de ajedrez.Ignorarás sus leyes bajo tu propio riesgo.
Como animales sociales, nuestras vidas dependen de las relaciones que forjamos. Por eso no bastan nuestro talento, cono-cimiento y formación: saber por qué la gente hace lo que hace es la herramienta más importante que podemos dominar.
A partir de las ideas de personajes históricos tan diversos como Pericles, Isabel I y Martin Luther King Jr., el celebrado escritor Robert Greene nos enseña cómo controlar nuestras emociones, cómo leer mejor las intenciones de los demás, cómo desarrollar la empatía para servir a nuestros propósitos, cómo ver detrás de las máscaras y cómo modificar nuestros comportamientos negativos.
Las leyes de la naturaleza humana es la obra maestra de un autor que ha comunicado a millones de lectores las enseñanzas de siglos de historia y filosofía. Un tratado indispensable para aprender las mejores tácticas del autoconocimiento, el éxito y la autodefensa.
Todos querem ter poder. Mas poucos sabem o que fazer para alcançá-lo. Como conseguir aquela promoção tão esperada? O que fazer para conquistar a admiração dos colegas e neutralizar quem vive tentando derrubá-lo? Como ser o queridinho do chefe? Em As 48 leis do poder, o leitor aprende a manipular pessoas e situações para alcançar seus objetivos. E descobre por que alguns conseguem ser tão bem-sucedidos, enquanto outros estão sempre sendo passados para trás.
Querer ser melhor do que o chefe, por exemplo, é um erro fatal. "Faça com que as pessoas acima de você se sintam confortavelmente superiores(...) Faça com que seus mestres pareçam mais brilhantes do que são na realidade e você alcançará o ápice do poder", diz Robert Greene no capítulo "Não ofusque o brilho do mestre". Além de oferecer o "caminho das pedras", ele cita casos de sucesso e de fracasso revelados à luz de suas regras.
Para ilustrar o que diz, Greene recorre a fábulas e a episódios reais da História, e usa e abusa de citações. O leitor se embrenha pela cartilha através de estrategistas como Clausewitz e Sun-Tsu, estadistas como Bismarck, sedutores como Casanova, filósofos como Nietzsche, escritores como Balzac e, claro, diplomatas como Maquiavel. Os textos abarcam um período de mais de três mil anos e foram pinçados em civilizações tão diferentes quanto a antiga China e a Itália renascentista.
E, para quem acredita que participar de jogos de poder é uma atividade condenável, ele faz um alerta: Não adianta querer ficar de fora. O mundo é como um imenso e dissimulado cassino e todos nós fazemos parte dele. Quanto mais rápido você descobrir as regras do jogo, maiores serão as suas chances de sucesso. "Se o jogo do poder é inevitável, vale mais ser um artista do que negar ou agir desastradamente", diz Greene.
