The Daily Laws: 366 Meditations on Power, Seduction, Mastery, Strategy, and Human Nature
About this product
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From the world’s foremost expert on power and strategy comes a daily devotional designed to help you seize your destiny. This is the only authorized paperback edition in the US.
Robert Greene, the #1 New York Times bestselling author, has been the consigliere to millions for more than two decades. Now, with entries that are drawn from his five books, plus never-before-published works, The Daily Laws offers a page of refined and concise wisdom for each day of the year, in an easy-to-digest lesson that will only take a few minutes to absorb. Each day features a Daily Law as well—a prescription that readers cannot afford to ignore in the battle of life. Each month centers around a major theme: power, seduction, persuasion, strategy, human nature, toxic people, self-control, mastery, psychology, leadership, adversity, or creativity.
Who doesn’t want to be more powerful? More in control? The best at what they do? The secret: Read this book every day.
“Daily study,” Leo Tolstoy wrote in 1884, is “necessary for all people.” More than just an introduction for new fans, this book is a Rosetta stone for internalizing the many lessons that fill Greene’s books and will reward a lifetime of reading and rereading. Read more
Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers say the book is highly practical, well-written, and packed with thought-provoking ideas, with many praising it as a daily guide for self-reflection and understanding human behavior. A number of reviewers also describe it as a strong introduction to Robert Greene’s thinking and a digestible way to revisit his broader themes.
On Goodreads, readers are similarly split between enthusiastic praise and sharper criticism: fans call it insightful, brilliant, and useful for anyone already familiar with Greene, while detractors say it can feel repetitive, pseudo-intellectual, or difficult to finish. On Reddit, one reader described it as a condensed recap of Greene’s earlier observations.
Independent review blogs generally lean positive, calling it a solid or excellent read for readers who want concise daily lessons, while one critical blog review dismissed it as advice for people leaning into manipulative power dynamics. Overall, the pattern suggests this is a polarizing but often appreciated book, especially for fans of Greene’s earlier work.
