Die Gesetze der menschlichen Natur - The Laws of Human Nature

of the most important subject of all: the decoding of human drives and motivations, even those of which we ourselves are unaware. Man is a social animal. His life depends on the relationship with his peers. Knowing why we do what we do gives us a far more effective tool than all our talents could. Drawing on the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene shows how we can, on the one hand, become independent of our own emotions and learn self-mastery, and on the other hand, develop empathy toward others to see behind their masks. If nothing else, The Laws of Human Nature offers the reader unique strategies for achieving and defending one's own goals in the professional and private spheres.
