The Laws of Human Nature
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. The Laws of Human Nature is a definitive book on decoding the behavior of the people around you. It 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.
Praise for The Laws of Human Nature
“The writing is engaging and the ideas are fascinating. We could all use the insights Greene provides. A hopeful book that advocates freedom and creativity.”
— Quartz
“The Laws of Human Nature provides some first-rate comprehensive and in-depth information about how to deal with our fellow human beings effectively. Greene’s intense curiosity about the inner workings of humanity is contagious, as he invites us to join him as fellow sleuths on his investigation of why people, including ourselves, do what we do. He rightly reminds us that in order to understand others, we must first and foremost understand what makes ourselves tick.”
