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. 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.

This book offers for consideration an integrated social economic structure and technical solution capable of ending the predatory evolution of our species. This book also explains the primary factor responsible for the most preventable suffering and death throughout the evolutionary development of our species and how to correct this dysfunction at its source. It also describes how our species is undergoing a natural evolutionary transition from creatures still under the control of our predatory instincts into enlightened beings capable of creating technically advanced societies free of social economic competition for survival. This book explains how subjective realities are induced as a powerful form of psychological manipulation and used to control the working class populations for thousands of years. It also describes how the effects of artificial selection have altered the intellectual evolutionary development of our species to make our systematic exploitation under capitalism seem like an acceptable social economic system. The integrated solution in this book describes the creation of an automated community infrastructure capable of supporting a self-replicating technically advanced predator free society. The solution also offers exponential growth of a global network allowing more families to end their predatory competition for survival and start helping others wanting to make the transition.
