His seminal work, The 48 Laws of Power, published in 1998, became an international phenomenon, offering readers a historical and psychological examination of manipulative tactics and strategic thinking across centuries. Greene's subsequent books, including The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, and Mastery, continue to explore these complex themes, drawing heavily on historical figures and philosophical traditions. His writing style is characterized by its accessible distillation of complex ideas and its practical, albeit often controversial, advice.
Greene's work is often categorized as self-help or business strategy, but it extends into broader discussions of history, philosophy, and psychology. He frequently incorporates anecdotes from leaders, artists, and thinkers, presenting their lives as case studies in the acquisition and application of power and influence. His latest work, The Daily Laws, offers daily meditations on these principles, making them more accessible for everyday contemplation. Greene's books have achieved significant commercial success, appealing to a wide audience interested in understanding the underlying currents of social and political maneuvering, and have become staples in certain professional and entrepreneurial circles.
