The Laws of Human Nature

“If you had given me the choice of not writing the book and never having this physical problem, I would have chosen writing the book.” The book is this And the physical problem? A stroke. The Author would choose one of life’s scariest health problems over not sharing his latest work. That’s how important it is to him. Wow!

You might think such a big health sacrifice is over the top, but it’s not like Greene set out to have a stroke. In fact, he lives a very healthy, active lifestyle. And yet, he’s not fazed by the fact that it happened.

Greene’s dedication to writing shows in other ways too. All of his books have been multi-year projects, which is why he published “only” six times over the past 20 years.

For now, here are 3 lessons from Greene’s latest work about the nature of human behavior:

A cycle of four trends shapes human generations and there’s a high chance yours is influenced by one as well.
Let’s learn from one of the world’s most dedicated writers how to get along with others and yourself.
