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-defence.
Trauma and Recovery is the foundational text on understanding
trauma survivors. By placing individual experience in a political
frame, psychiatrist Judith L. Herman argues that psychological
trauma is inseparable from its social and political context.
Drawing on her own research on incest, as well as a vast literature
on combat veterans and victims of political terror, she shows
surprising parallels between private horrors like child abuse and
public horrors like war. This edition includes a new epilogue by
the author assessing what has-and hasn't-changed in understanding
and treating trauma over the last three decades. Hailed by the New
York Times as "one of the most important psychiatry works to be
published since Freud," Trauma and Recovery is essential reading
for anyone seeking to understand how we heal.
'A must-read' Mark Manson We are living through a crisis of
distraction. Plans get sidetracked, friends are ignored, work never
seems to get done. Why does it feel like we're distracting our
lives away? In Indistractable, behavioural designer Nir Eyal
reveals the hidden psychology driving you to distraction.
Empowering and optimistic, this is the book that will help you
design your time, realise your ambitions, and live the life you
really want. 'If you value your time, your focus or your
relationships, this book is essential reading' Jonathan Haidt,
author of The Righteous Mind 'A guide to staying focused in an age
of constant distraction' Guardian 'Exactly what most of us need in
order to focus on what is important, rather than the dazzling,
illuminated, unsatisfying distractions of modern life' Matt Haig
'Does exactly as it promises. Amazing' Chris Evans 'The best guide
I've read for reclaiming our attention, our focus and our lives'
