Robert Greene

About the author

Robert Greene has made his name as a singular figure in pragmatic philosophy and social psychology. His training in classical studies gave him a distinctive skill at synthesizing ancient texts and historical narratives, which he draws on to analyze the mechanisms of influence, manipulation and domination.

His career rests on this ability to extract universal principles of power from a vast mosaic of historical examples; he offers a grammar of domination that claims to transcend the ages, reducing every social interaction to a struggle for supremacy.
