The perfect pocketbook gift for the power-hungry - from 'the modern
Machiavelli', Robert Greene, international bestselling sensation
author of The 48 Laws of Power, Seduction and War. This concise
version of the business classic Mastery provides a shortcut to
Greene's powerful new tools for achieving greatness. Around the
globe, people are facing the same problem - that we are born as
individuals but are forced to conform to the rules of society if we
want to succeed. To see our uniqueness expressed in our
achievements, we must first learn the rules - and then change them
completely. Charles Darwin began as an underachieving schoolboy,
Leonardo da Vinci as an illegitimate outcast. The secret of their
eventual greatness lies in a 'rigorous apprenticeship': they learnt
to master the 'hidden codes' which determine ultimate success or
failure. Then, they rewrote the rules as a reflection of their own
individuality. Told through Robert Greene's signature blend of
historical anecdote and psychological insight and drawing on
interviews with world leaders, Concise Mastery builds on the
strategies outlined in The 48 Laws of Power to provide a practical
guide to greatness - and learn how to start living by your own
rules.
