The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene


There is a lot of material re-hashed from his earlier books and the author continues to perpetuate his favorite debunked myths from Nietzsche and Jung.  He does treat the psychopathy and sociopathy well and he correctly raises genetic gender sensibility differences. Much of his research is surface, lazy, and weak in science.  I loved every one of his example biography sketches.  They were fantastic.  And in general, the 18 laws are well-communicated, illustrated, and explained.  It is worth reading but is not nearly as good as Mastery.  The book is long and dense ; it took me a while to read because I kept pausing to think about the concepts. 3/5 Stars.
