书籍介绍
这不是一本让你感觉良好的成长指南，而是一把用来解剖自己与他人的手术刀。全书的核心主张冷峻而冒犯：理性从不天然存在，人本质上被情绪驱动，尤其在压力骤增、失控的瞬间，伪装崩塌，真实品格才会暴露。作者借历史人物的成败，反复论证一个观点——理解行为，先要看清其背后未被觉察的创伤与执念。它最大的争议也正源于此：大量读者觉得它结构扁平、观点重复，甚至“大半是本正确的废话”；但也有人从中读出清醒，称“情绪是骑士，理性是骑手”。真正适合这本书的人，是愿意承认自己并不理性、并想借此看清他人与自己的人；而非寻求速效成功学的人。
作者简介
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, and The 50th Law. His highly anticipated fifth book, Mastery, examines the lives of great historical figures such as Charles Darwin, Mozart, Paul Graham and Henry Ford and distills the traits and universal ingredients that made them masters. In addition to having a strong following within the business world and a deep following in Washington, DC, Greene's books are hailed by everyone from war historians to the biggest musicians in the industry (including Jay-Z and 50 Cent).
Greene attended U.C. Berkeley and the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where he received a degree in classical studies. He currently lives in Los Angeles.

- "Emotions are continually affecting our thought processes and decisions the level of our awareness. And the most common emotion of them all is the desire for pleasure and the avoidance of pain."
- "The way to recognize this in yourself and in others is by noticing behavior that is suddenly childish in its intensity and seemingly out of character. This could center on any key emotion. It could be fear-of losing control, of failure. In this case, we react by withdrawing from the situation and th"

- "The great danger here is that in misreading the present and reacting tosomething in the past, we create conflict, disappointments, and mistrust thatonly strengthen the wound. In some ways, we are programmed to repeat the early experience in the present. Our only defense is awareness as it is happen-"

But put any of them in stressful circumstances, with the pressure rising, and you will see a different reality.

用户评论
被人恶心多了自己又变得任性，再冷静下来，这书里的很多道理才看的进去。说理说事太干巴。印象较深的有: Shackleton的故事，
有点冗长和教条，但是还行。比较喜欢每个chapter前面的例子，后面的说理有点干巴巴。
人性也可以很复杂 也可以很简单
真诚的心对待任何人是你的选择
Make your acceptance of human nature as radical as possible. 希望自己在看懂看清人性之后，在接受人生的有限和无意义之后仍然选择善良。
大半本正确的废话
12/24。5月读书。目标完成一半了。继续加油。争取今年超额完成目标。
Thank you Mr. Robert Greene!
i.e., the gap between Human and the God.
有的章节对例子过分解读，硬套理论，不过整体还算有趣。
