The Importance of the Law of Human Nature
In this summary of the Laws of Human Nature, we will briefly introduce these 18 laws. The Laws of Human Nature is a long book with 18 laws to help you analyze human behavior and use patterns to your advantage. Through extensive research in the psychological and philosophical literature, Robert Green explains 18 laws of human nature to help us understand why people behave the way we do.
In Greens’ new book, Green offers different aspects of being human through history, philosophy, psychology and wisdom to explain how people behave. Greene systematized the psychology and philosophy I studied and presented his “laws” with illustrations from history and literature, giving his book a broader scope and depth beyond the tyrannical status quo. Robert Greene’s intense curiosity about the inner workings of humans is infectious as he invites us to join him as researchers exploring why people, including ourselves, do what we do.
Now he turns to the most important topic of all: understanding people’s motivations and motives, even if people are unaware of them. We are social animals. The core of human behavior that Robert Green deals with in the book are patterns, and with a childhood like that, you would naturally expect bad patterns like alcoholism, aggression, or others to follow in the life of the historically famous playwright Anton Chekhov. Last year I realized some uncomfortable truths and general frustrations that apply to myself and others, so I turned to books on psychology to better understand people.
Understanding why people do what they do is the most important tool we can have, without it our other talents will not be able to help us achieve our goals. Humans have a natural ability to empathize with and connect with others. By accepting people, understanding them, and if possible even loving them for their humanity, we can free our minds from compulsions and petty emotions.
There are people in the world who by their nature tend to evoke strong emotions (extremes of love, hate, trust, distrust) in almost everyone they meet. People are always ambivalent about who is in power; they want to be guided, but will turn to someone when they seem weak. They appeal to a standard of behavior that many people demand from others.
Many people have different ideas about what is right and what is wrong, and this is where they differ from the laws of physics. The difference between the laws of human nature and the laws of physics is that the laws of human nature contain a standard of behavior that everyone should understand and teach the right relationships and interactions between people. Green believes that by understanding human nature, we not only learn to advance socially for personal gain, but also develop an emotional intelligence that is helpful to everyone. At least 1 long story detailing each law (about the history of Milton Erickson, Anton Chekhov, Richard Nixon, Mary Shelley, Martin Luther King, Elizabeth I, etc. characters), with an interpretation by Robert Greene, to learn more about human nature, creatures, and strategies and techniques for managing them.
