Mostly Okay
This is the second book of Robert Greene's that I've read. An aspect I cannot stand are the long, unnecessarily drawn out stories he writes about the history of certain public figures. There are so many irrelevant details he goes into and then adds his own speculative perspective about the meaning and how it correlates to his point. If he had any sort of degree in history, psychology or sociology I might give him more credibility but I often find myself just frustrated and skipping a ton of sections. Get to the point man, Jesus. I understand the importance in correlating concepts to a story and how it helps with retaining information but he adds way too much and it comes off egotistical which is ironic. I find myself asking, "Wait, who is this guy and why does he think he can write a book about something so profound as human nature?" Overall, there are good pieces of information and wisdom but I find myself skimming.
