The ideal gift for industry insiders - from the 'modern Machiavelli', Robert Greene, internationally bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power, Seduction, and War. This concise edition of the business classic Mastery provides a shortcut to Greene's powerful new tools for achieving greatness. Worldwide, people face the same problem - that we are born as individuals but are forced to comply with society's rules if we want to succeed. To express our uniqueness through our achievements, we must first learn the rules - and then change them entirely.

Charles Darwin started as an underwhelming student, Leonardo da Vinci as an illegitimate outcast. The secret to their ultimate greatness lies in a 'stern apprenticeship': they learned to master the 'hidden codes' that determine ultimate success or failure. Then, they rewrote the rules as a reflection of their own individuality.

Through Robert Greene's signature blend of historical references and psychological analysis, and drawing from interviews with world leaders, Concise Mastery builds on the strategies developed in The 48 Laws of Power to provide a practical guide to greatness - and to learn how to start living by your own rules.
