About this ebook
'A Rambo-style mentality oozes from every khaki-ed, muscle-bound phrase' Daily Telegraph
'A wry primer for people who desperately want to be on top' People
Around the globe, people are facing the same problem - that we are born as individuals but are forced to conform to the rules of society if we want to succeed. To see our uniqueness expressed in our achievements, we must first learn the rules - and then how to change them completely.
Charles Darwin began as an underachieving schoolboy, Leonardo da Vinci as an illegitimate outcast. The secret of their eventual greatness lies in a 'rigorous apprenticeship': by paying close and careful attention, they learnt to master the 'hidden codes' which determine ultimate success or failure. Then, they rewrote the rules as a reflection of their own individuality, blasting previous patterns of achievement open from within.
Told through Robert Greene's signature blend of historical anecdote and psychological insight and drawing on interviews with world leaders, Mastery builds on the strategies outlined in The 48 Laws of Power to provide a practical guide to greatness - and how to start living by your own rules.

I really like the book. The author is an awesome writer and was able to break down a seemingly illusive subject. The build up of the biographies he did was awesome. He used the same individuals in most chapters was able to paint a different side of them continuously. It is amazing. I would however would have loved to get more of his perspectives on things as opposed to drawing them continuously from characters. I would have wanted to know how this very informative book had helped him from a personal stance.

Everything I needed and much more. What makes the book so attractive is it's many role models. I can relate to some of them and do what they did to get ahead in my sport
