In this crucial work by the bestselling author of “The 48 Laws of Power” and “The Laws of Human Nature,” it is revealed that the key to mastery already resides within each individual. Across the world, people grapple with a common challenge – being born as unique individuals but pressured to conform to societal norms for success. To showcase our distinctiveness through our accomplishments, we must first learn the existing rules and then master the art of rewriting them entirely.
The paths of greatness for figures like Charles Darwin and Leonardo da Vinci began with humble beginnings – one as an underachieving schoolboy and the other as an illegitimate outcast. However, their ultimate success was built upon a “rigorous apprenticeship,” in which they diligently observed and grasped the “hidden codes” that dictated success or failure. Armed with this knowledge, they fearlessly redefined the rules, breaking away from established patterns of achievement.
Robert Greene masterfully weaves historical anecdotes and psychological insights to tell the story of these exceptional individuals. Drawing on interviews with world leaders, “Mastery” not only builds upon the strategies outlined in “The 48 Laws of Power” but also offers a practical guide to achieving greatness – empowering readers to live life on their own terms.
From the internationally acclaimed author of “The 48 Laws of Power,” “The Art Of Seduction,” and “The 33 Strategies Of War,” this book promises to inspire readers to unlock their potential for mastery and carve their unique paths to success.
