 The Laws of Human Nature: Epic Reading for 2019

Robert Greene, author of Mastery, The 48 Laws of Power and The 50th Law (cowritten with 50 Cent) is back with his latest brilliant tome, 6 years in the making.  Greene explains the 18 Laws of Human Nature and helps us to find ways in which we and those around us act consciously and unconsciously.  The promotional materials include insights and wisdom:  "You are about to become an apprentice in human nature that will help you; transform into a more strategic observer; master cues people continually emit; become a better judge of character; outthink the toxic types who inevitably cross your path, learn the true levers for influencing people and override your own negative patterns.  Each of the laws includes a profile showing the law in action.
