Robert Greenes The 48 Laws of Power is his most notorious work, so blatantly amoral that many of its adherents are rumored to hide in the closet. But since its publication, his work has gradually taken a moral turn. In his follow-up, The Art of Seduction, Greene mentions having compassion for ones victimhe or she being seduced. The 33 Strategies of War instructs readers that there is no moral value in ignoring certain tenets. In Mastery, which concerns the pursuit of virtuosity in ones field

*Disclaimer: I received a free copy from the Goodreads First Reads Program.*I have never read anything similar to "Mastery" before and approached Greene's book with an open mind. The lessons in these pages are invaluable. Greene uses examples of household names to convey the idea that mastering something is so much more than an innate talent or uncanny ability. The book is well organized. The one thing I wasn't a fan of was the font size. Being that this reads almost like an academic text, the

You want to be a genius? Here's the recipe.

Drawing lessons from the lives of accomplished people, this book offers practical, organized advice for how to realize your own Life's Task.If a friend had not recommended this book to me, I doubt I would ever have given it a look. I bought Greene's The 48 Laws of Power a few years ago but quickly found it to be repugnant. It struck me as being a manual for psychopaths: handsome, well laid out, well thought out--and chilling.

Each time a profile is incrementally built on, one has to read all the parts that were earlier presented, which is a ridiculous way to treat a studious reader.

We all are searching for power of some type. We may not say it out loud, but deep inside we all know that this is a true statement. Whether its power through success or power through knowledge or whatever, we are all searching. On this quest for power we usually find that we have personal obstacles that get in our way, that we struggle to overcome, and block us at every turn. This book, Mastery by Robert Green wants to teach you how to overcome one of the biggest obstacles we face. The obstacle

I won this book as part of Goodreads' First Reads program in exchange for my honest review.This book is really 2 distinct parts. The first is a series of biographies on modern and classic 'masters' in their respective fields. The second part is examining what lessons can be learned from these masters and how they can be applied in our everyday lives to become masters in our own rights.I really enjoyed the biographies, they were a series of short, concise examinations of great people that was
