A “page a day” book collecting bits of wisdom from Robert Greene’s other books (Laws of Power, Art of Seduction, Strategies of War, etc.) What's the author's angle? As a general matter Greene is something of a Machiavellian figure, he’s going to tell it like it is, and give you the tools you really need to succeed in life. Or at least that’s his claim.
