Robert Greene
Robert Greene is the author of the New York Times bestsellers: The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, The 50th Law, Mastery, The Laws of Human Nature, and most recently of The Daily Laws.
Robert Greene has published seven books. He is the most banned author in prisons in the United States. Many prisons ban his books as a security measure.
Robert has lived in London, Paris, and Barcelona; he speaks several languages and has worked as a translator. In 1995, he was involved in the planning and creation of the art school Fabrica, outside Venice, Italy. There he met Joost Elffers, a New York book packager, and discussed with him his idea for a book on power and manipulation, the ultimate modern version of Machiavelli’s, The Prince.
Robert and Joost became partners and in 1998, The 48 Laws of Power was born. The book has been a national and international bestseller, and has been translated into 17 languages. In 2001, Robert released his second book, The Art of Seduction, which is more than a sequel to The 48 Laws; it is both a handbook on how to wield the ultimate form of power, and a detailed look at the greatest seducers in history.
The third in this highly anticipated series of books, The 33 Strategies of War, hit bookstores January 2006 and offers a strategic look behind the movements of war in application to everyday life.
In addition to having a strong following within the business world and a deep following in Washington, DC, these books are also being hailed by everyone from war historians to some of the heaviest hitters in the rap world (including 50 Cent).
The popularity of these books along with their vast and fiercely loyal audience proves these are profound, timeless lessons from historical leaders that still ring true in today’s culture.
