About this listen
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.

Sensationally inspirational
What. A. Masterpiece!!!
An inspirationally hopeful book that brought joy to my heart and gave me a source of bright light in a dark pit of being lost and confused.
Robert, I hope you see this. I appreciate you beyond my vocabulary can describe and your work pushed me even harder to become the type of person you wrote about in this book.

Highly recommend
This book is a good kick up the bum and reality check. I have only taken off one star because I found it a little tedious towards the end being told the same peoples’ stories over and over again.

Just the right side of pretentious
This book has some excellent information and captivating examples. Yes it repeats, but he does warn us of that at the beginning.
I found myself getting frustrated with his overuse of particular words (‘understand, detailed, deeply’) and something about the narrator sticks in your head - not necessarily in a bad way, just very American.
I love that the message is fundamentally ‘none of you are special, it’s about knowing yourself and your own interests and through applying time, effort and patience you can achieve great things’. Would have enjoyed greater diversity in ‘geniuses’ but the message is not fundamentally changed. I actually think this book would work better as a hard copy - the organisation is not great and it sometimes feels like it loops around without quite landing on the point. I get the sense this would be clearer if I could see the headings etc.
Definitely something to ponder more on though, and excellent food for thought.

Book is perfect for artists who are on their grind
So much of the book resonated with me as an artist. One of the best books I’ve read.
