The best possible summary of all of his work

I'm getting all I want and more from this book.

The other review has no idea what they're talking about as this book essentially is a summation of all of Robert Greenes prior books.

Narration is fantastic, also.

Dense and valuable lessons, gimmicky format

I've listened to a few of Robert's audiobooks, and this one is essentially a copy-paste of various sections from them, grouped by certain themes per month. Whilst the content is solid, it's really annoying to have to listen to the date, followed at the end by the original source. I listened to the audiobook as normal, not one day per law as the book recommends.
The narration is excellent and we even hear from Robert himself at the start of each month, but there's no real story and the lessons don't always follow naturally from each other.

Overall I think the content here is absolutely brilliant, especially if you're unfamiliar with Robert's previous works, but you won't find anything new if you are and it would be better formatted as a reference textbook rather than an audiobook.

Another Thought Provoking Book from Robert Greene

Robert Greene truly knows how to write books which evoke wonder and also describes at the core how we live as people.

A great listen and the daily laws are very interesting to say the least!

Definitely worth a read or listen

Unrealistic advice

Robert Greene has gone down the unrealistic route with his advice, laws of 48 powers is a great book but now all his books are just unrealistic.

Beautiful work of art.

The book is evidently well written. I love Robert Greene’s way of conveying his message. The book touches upon subjects such as psychology (narcissism,empathy, emotional mastery…etc) and philosophy (meditation, non-duality, cultivating true power). The book is generally fantastic especially if you are trying to craft your mind to a higher state of being and transcend your overall outlook on reality. Definitely a book to read/listen if your aim is to take full responsibility of the totality of your being.

Pretty good. But if you paid attention to other books, not much here

Pretty good. Somewhat useful reminders. But I think bookmarking and revisiting the main books is better… not sure I learned much or needed the repetition

Sublime

Loved that the author read the intro to every chapter and it’s a great summary of all previous books

A greatest hits of Robert Greene!

It should be noted that I'm a HUGE Robert Greene fan, so obviously I'm biased as it is. His no nonsense, deeply rational and insightful daily breakdown of his greatest lessons. Essentially, this book is the pick from all of his books, broken down for each day of the year. A great entry point for those who haven't read his other works. Absolutely would recommend!
