From Barnes & NobleThe author of The 48 Laws of Power believes that stories of success breed success. To prove his point, Robert Greene taps the wisdom mined from the lives of self-possessed creators including Mozart, Edison, Darwin, and Temple Grandin. A crisply written collection of lessons from the masters.
Publishers WeeklyWe are born masters but sometimes, especially during the trials of adulthood, we need external guidance to reach our potential, says bestselling author Greene (The 48 Laws of Power). His description of mastery is reminiscent of what positive psychologists describe as "flow": a state that feels effortless once achieved. Yet mastery requires work. Greene outlines the process in nearly 50 steps, with several overarching themes: retaining a child's sense of wonder, learning from other masters, and avoiding financially motivated goals.
