1 About this book
"From the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power comes the definitive new book on decoding the behavior of the people around you 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.

2 What to expect
A long study of human behavior, from envy and narcissism to irrationality, told through the lives of historical figures. The same style as The 48 Laws of Power; best taken a chapter at a time.
Good for readers who want: psychology, history through stories, and a long read.
