Le pouvoir… on le désire, on le craint, on s’en protège… « Le sentiment de n’avoir aucun pouvoir sur les gens et les événements est difficilement supportable : l’impuissance rend malheureux. Personne ne réclame moins de pouvoir, tout le monde en veut davantage. » Amoral, intelligent, impitoyable et captivant, cet ouvrage colossal condense 3 000 ans d’histoire du pouvoir en 48 lois. Véritable manuel de la manipulation, il analyse la quintessence de cette sagesse millénaire, tirée de la vie des plus illustres stratèges (Sun Zi, Clausewitz), hommes d’État (Louis XIV, Bismarck, Talleyrand), courtisans (Castiglione, Gracián), séducteurs (Ninon de Lenclos, Casanova) et escrocs de l’histoire. Certaines lois reposent sur la prudence (loi no 1 : Ne surpassez jamais le maître), d’autres demandent de la dissimulation (loi no 7 : Laissez le travail aux autres, mais recueillez-en les lauriers), d’autres encore une absence totale de compassion (loi no 15 : Écrasez complètement l’ennemi). Toutes ces lois trouveront des applications dans votre vie de tous les jours… Car, soyez en certain : le monde est une immense cour où se trament toutes sortes d’intrigues. Au lieu de nier l’évidence, tâchez d’exceller dans la course au pouvoir. Des extraits, des vidéos, des interviews de Robert Greene sur son site www.robertgreene.fr

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. This is the only authorized paperback edition in the US. 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 concise version of the business classic Mastery provides a shortcut to Greene's powerful new tools for achieving greatness. Around the globe, people are facing the same problem - that we are born as individuals but are forced to conform to the rules of society if we want to succeed. To see our uniqueness expressed in our achievements, we must first learn the rules - and then change them completely. Charles Darwin began as an underachieving schoolboy, Leonardo da Vinci as an illegitimate outcast. The secret of their eventual greatness lies in a 'rigorous apprenticeship': they learnt to master the 'hidden codes' which determine ultimate success or failure. Then, they rewrote the rules as a reflection of their own individuality. Drawing on interviews with world leaders, this book builds on the strategies outlined in The 48 Laws of Power to provide a practical guide to greatness - and learn how to start living by your own rules.
