The Daily Laws
by Robert Greene · Published 2021
Plenty of ideas worth thinking about, but the daily, fragmented structure keeps it from reaching the depth of the philosophical or historical classics. Good for revisiting ideas, not a book that changes your understanding the way the others do.
What works
- Easy to consume.
- Lots of memorable historical examples.
- Good for reflection.
- Useful as a daily source of ideas.
What doesn't
- Repetitive.
- Some ideas are presented too confidently.
- Less depth than Greene's longer works.
- Better as a reference than as a serious book.
Human behavior follows recurring patterns, and understanding those patterns can improve your ability to navigate relationships, competition and power.
