Robert Greene is hailed as one of the best American authors, in this era. He was born on May 14, 1959, and from early childhood, Robert questioned the behavioral patterns that shape one’s opinion and mindset.

Believe it or not, his main incentive for becoming a writer was the importance of power in the world, not just today but throughout history.

As the author of five recognized, and international best-selling books, he has all the expertise required to share a psychological review of the whole world.

What’s even more inspiring, is the number of celebrities who have joined his cause, and publicly stated that his books changed their lives and perception. Not bad, ha?

Robert Greene books:

• • The 48 Laws of Power
  • The Art of Seduction
  • The 33 Strategies of War
  • The 50th Law

• Mastery.

As you can assume, he didn’t have a flying start. Born to a Jewish Family, Robert Greene had humble beginnings. Growing up in Los Angeles, and attending the University of California, opened the window of opportunity for him.

How should things unfold? Like an arrow, straight to the top. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case with Robert Greene. As a matter of fact, Greene had at least 80 different jobs before he became a writer.

Working as a construction worker, editor, Hollywood movie writer granted him the opportunity to distinguish himself in the writing business.

In the mid-90s, Greene got a job to work as a writer at Fabrica. From today’s perspective, this art and media school symbolizes the crossroad in Robert’s life, where he met a book packager known by the name of Joost Elffers.

This friendship marked the beginning of Greene’s professional writing career. He wrote a treatment and presented it before Elffers, a situation that can be labeled as the turning point or a point of no return in Robert Greene’s adventure.

It was at that moment that Greene started writing “The 48 Laws of Power,” a book which will later develop into a global sensation.

Greene’s viewpoints and conclusion, on numerous occasions, were described as manipulative and unethical.

According to various testimonies, “The 48 Laws of Power” breaks all the boundaries of moral behavior and sets a new line of defense in order to protect one’s interest.

Despite all the controversies revolving around it, this classic continues to inspire business executives, athletes, entrepreneurs, lawyers to take action.

Greene responded to these allegations by saying that – These laws (referring to the 48 Laws) are nothing but practical, a useful tool for all people to get their grip on success.

Without further ado, we also like to mention that Greene’s work and accomplishments have been featured in renowned magazines and journals such as The New York Times, Newsweek, Forbes, USA Today, and others.
