"Always do what you are afraid to do"- Ralph Waldo EmersonWhen you think of poverty, malnutrition, climate change, animal cruelty, corruption etc. as your enemies, your perspective on books about power changes.With daily short lessons, this book teaches various laws to live a life with a purpose and not be afraid of doing what you must.
I really liked this page, it transformed me a lot. It's been a few days since I read and re-read this book. Robert Greene gives some pretty assiduous tips to be successful. I enjoyed the month February 29. Take the hacker approach ... March 20..21 ... The Master Brain
Certainly is not gender neutral. With a male-centric approach it was hard for me to read and I gave up as many messages were lost. There are other daily meditations that have a more balanced gender approach. Excellent book if you are male or male focused.
Nothing really new for longtime readers of Robert Greene except for the December part, where we can read excerpts of his next book The Laws of the Sublime. It was a nice surprise.
It seems like this book operates best as an adjunct to Greene's other works - i.e. as a way of unifying themes covered across his oeuvre - and not really as a standalone. This is due to the limitations placed on devotionals by their very nature. They must by necessity exhibit brevity and pithiness so that they would make no unreasonable demands on the reader's time while still providing valuable knowledge, ensuring that the latter can commit to a daily habit. On that score it succeeds admirably,...
Robert Greene always the astute historian of human nature.
A good comeback after the so so The Laws of Human Nature. More like picked summary of 48 Laws of Power and The 33 Strategies of War and his other books with in your face brutal reality reflections.
No, I am not a normie who still conforms to social pressure, and there is no way anyone has 366 universally correct pieces of life advice. Most people have things that they need to _stop_ doing to become more sane and good. A book will never know what those things are.
I've been a huge fan of Robert Greene's ever since his first book, The 48 Laws of Power. He tells it like it is and helps us understand how people really work. I was thrilled to discover his new book, which takes snippets from his previous books (as well as his upcoming book) and presents them in a short daily format. This is an excellent way to discover the genius of Robert Greene. Can't recommend the book highly enough!Kent SandersGhostwriter & Host of The Daily Writer Podcast

Outstanding.
This one is going to take me a year to read, but I already love it one week in. I've read several of Robert Greene's books and very much like them, so I like to daily doses of these tidbits from them--review of what I've read and introductions to books I will most likely read, some of which are waiting on my book shelf. Highly recommended for those who like to meditate on their inner sleves, human nature and life in general.
Great book, kind of a review of his others
Although I haven't finished the book yet, I'm loving it so far. I'm a fan of all of the author's work but I'm really appreciating the simplicity of this one. I highly recommend this book!
For those readers unfamiliar with Robert Greene's work over the years this book is a great starting point on a journey into human behaviour, how to navigate the complexities of relationships and power dynamics. The author draws from his years of published works on mastery, seduction, strategy, and human nature. Trigger warning for utopians, Robert Greene is a realist who calls out human nature as he sees it whilst recommending solutions that may not be palatable to the "Blue-haired Taliban or Pr...
The read got better once I got to September. This book will make you think about things you can do or have done to make things better/easier. It could be a book of affirmations or meditations depending on how you choose to put them to use for your life. Interesting insights.
This book was outstanding!Classic Greene writing, featuring amazing research with intriguing, inspiring, and engaging history and context. I got so much out of this book. As much as I enjoyed The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations for Clarity, Effectiveness, and Serenity, I found that this book was even better for a "daily" reading. In fact, I liked them both so much, I would recommend reading both at the same time and getting two entries a day for the year. I highly recommend reading this. Especially...
As a fan of Robert Green – I mean, I’ve read all of his books- I can say that I was a bit disappointed.Not that the content is not good. It is. But the content is not good (deep) enough.This is a book that distills – in twitter-like style – the main concepts of his other works. It’s like continuous advertising of his other books. And it kind of feels like he’s saying all the time: “For more info, check my other books.”I miss the in-depth analysis he usually includes and the deep dive into the id...
The book is a great and easy read. I have read all of the other books by the same author and he does a good job summarizing the main points from the books.
Robert Greene is a fascinating read. I loved his Laws of Human Nature. I think that the format of this book wasn’t for me. He incorporates ideas from all of his books, with some new ones, each on one page. For me, the depth of concepts requires some more space to truly understand/learn from it. The book was a neat idea to give people a brief overview of his best highlights from his books, but I personally couldn’t get as into it as his other books because of the lack of depth. This may work bett...
