Publisher's summary
The eagerly anticipated new book from the author of the best-selling The 48 Laws of
Power
What did Charles Darwin, middling schoolboy and underachieving second son, do to
become one of the earliest and greatest naturalists the world has known? What were
the similar choices made by Mozart and by Caesar Rodriguez, the U.S. Air Force's
last ace fighter pilot? In Mastery, Robert Greene's fifth book, he mines the
biographies of great historical figures for clues about gaining control over our
own lives and destinies. Picking up where The 48 Laws of Power left off, Greene
culls years of research and original interviews to blend historical anecdote and
psychological insight, distilling the universal ingredients of the world's masters.
Temple Grandin, Martha Graham, Henry Ford, Buckminster Fuller - all have lessons to
offer about how the love for doing one thing exceptionally well can lead to
mastery. Yet the secret, Greene maintains, is already in our heads. Debunking long-
held cultural myths, he demonstrates just how we, as humans, are hardwired for
achievement and supremacy. Fans of Greene's earlier work and Malcolm Gladwell's
Outliers will eagerly devour this canny and erudite explanation of just what it
takes to be great.
