Summary

The perfect pocketbook gift for the power-hungry - from 'the modern Machiavelli'， Robert Greene， international bestselling sensation author of The 48 Laws of Power， Seduction and War。 This concise version of the business classic Mastery provides a shortcut to Greene's powerful new tools for achieving greatness。 Around the globe， people are facing the same problem - that we are born as individuals but are forced to conform to the rules of society if we want to succeed。 To see our uniqueness expressed in our achievements， we must first learn the rules - and then change them completely。

Charles Darwin began as an underachieving schoolboy， Leonardo da Vinci as an illegitimate outcast。 The secret of their eventual greatness lies in a 'rigorous apprenticeship': they learnt to master the 'hidden codes' which determine ultimate success or failure。 Then， they rewrote the rules as a reflection of their own individuality。

Told through Robert Greene's signature blend of historical anecdote and psychological insight and drawing on interviews with world leaders， Concise Mastery builds on the strategies outlined in The 48 Laws of Power to provide a practical guide to greatness - and learn how to start living by your own rules。

Highly recommend this one for anyone trying to answer the question: "how do I master the true calling of my life？"Concise and lays out very well the stages to mastery in any field。 Still has examples from the main book itself， but these are to the point and help lay out the premise of each chapter。 I might read the longer version at some point。I particularly liked how each stage was laid out into examples， keys to mastering the stage （both positives accelerating the stage and negatives blocking Highly recommend this one for anyone trying to answer the question: "how do I master the true calling of my life？"Concise and lays out very well the stages to mastery in any field。 Still has examples from the main book itself， but these are to the point and help lay out the premise of each chapter。 I might read the longer version at some point。I particularly liked how each stage was laid out into examples， keys to mastering the stage （both positives accelerating the stage and negatives blocking the stage）， and finally strategies relevant to the stage。I was able to relate to my ongoing apprenticeship and I'm grateful for this book to have mapped the next few turns I need to be aware of。 。。。more

Fantastic bookThis was a fantastic read， well written and researched， a book that should be read by anyone trying to acquire a new skill either at work or become a master in a particular area be it in sports， arts etc。 There were so many light bulb moments for me and it's a book I will definitely keep referring to。 Fantastic bookThis was a fantastic read， well written and researched， a book that should be read by anyone trying to acquire a new skill either at work or become a master in a particular area be it in sports， arts etc。 There were so many light bulb moments for me and it's a book I will definitely keep referring to。 。。。more

Haha only just realised after finishing that this was the “concise” version。。。I can’t really Imagine how repetitive the full version would be！ Overall I don’t disagree with the general premise which can be summarised as masters aren’t particularly special or gifted they just dedicate many years and lots of time to a craft， it just seems like the point could have been made in many less words！ On top of this there is a lot of cliched waffle about using your strengths and opening you mind to let cr Haha only just realised after finishing that this was the “concise” version。。。I can’t really Imagine how repetitive the full version would be！ Overall I don’t disagree with the general premise which can be summarised as masters aren’t particularly special or gifted they just dedicate many years and lots of time to a craft， it just seems like the point could have been made in many less words！ On top of this there is a lot of cliched waffle about using your strengths and opening you mind to let creativity flow in。 I don’t regret many books but this one I certainly did！ 。。。more

This book gives you hope， but more importantly a structure to follow。 Robert Greene is very honest and does not sugar coat anything。 I highly reccomend this book！

After reading the Concise Mastery， I jave been wondering- Should I have read the unabridged Mastery instead？Real life anecdotes and life stories are a good attraction of Green's books。 But here， for this particular topic， they could very well be the main attraction。This topic is something people intuitively already understand。 But yes， there is an apparent dearth of good literature on it （or is it？ Perhaps Greene hasn't considered the self help genre！）。Perhaps one reading is not enough。 I will n After reading the Concise Mastery， I jave been wondering- Should I have read the unabridged Mastery instead？Real life anecdotes and life stories are a good attraction of Green's books。 But here， for this particular topic， they could very well be the main attraction。This topic is something people intuitively already understand。 But yes， there is an apparent dearth of good literature on it （or is it？ Perhaps Greene hasn't considered the self help genre！）。Perhaps one reading is not enough。 I will need at least a couple of readings more to really understand what the author was really saying （or what his 'voice' was！） 。。。more

That's a book to read in the area of developing creativity， growth mindset and becoming a master at the skills you have inside you。 The stories walk you through examples if Darwin， Da Vinci， Faraday and others to show how they grew inner self to strive at the best of your abilities。 Nice and smooth path in discovering inner creativity and mastering skills。 That's a book to read in the area of developing creativity， growth mindset and becoming a master at the skills you have inside you。 The stories walk you through examples if Darwin， Da Vinci， Faraday and others to show how they grew inner self to strive at the best of your abilities。 Nice and smooth path in discovering inner creativity and mastering skills。 。。。more

Mastery。。。 My first book out the Robert Greene series… reading it was like opening a treasure chest of gold。 However， instead of gold， you get wisdom。 He transmutes history into valuable practical lessons， that serve to guide us to achieve greatness from the legends who came before us。 A profound and insightful read for those who want to craft and unlock their mastery in their chosen field。

The ultimate motive — getting powerful for the sake of self-glory — didn’t agree with my worldview。 Nevertheless， there were some helpful insights concerning the importance of an apprenticeship to grow in wisdom。 “The mentor is like a philosopher’s stone — through direct interaction with someone of experience， you are able to quickly and efficiently heat up and animate this knowledge。”

This was supposed to be a short read but it took me longer than I expected。 I like his style of writing because it's similar to Ryan Holiday， as Robert is one of his mentors。Robert Greene dissects the book into three parts:1） The Apprenticeship phase 2） The Creative-Active phase3） The Mastery phase Apprenticeship basically focuses on being a life long learner through discovering your life's task （purpose/passion）， finding mentors who push and mold you， and eventually surpassing your mentors and This was supposed to be a short read but it took me longer than I expected。 I like his style of writing because it's similar to Ryan Holiday， as Robert is one of his mentors。Robert Greene dissects the book into three parts:1） The Apprenticeship phase 2） The Creative-Active phase3） The Mastery phase Apprenticeship basically focuses on being a life long learner through discovering your life's task （purpose/passion）， finding mentors who push and mold you， and eventually surpassing your mentors and becoming your own individual in the field you seek to master。 The creative-active phase focuses on developing your own skills and styles through experimentation。 This is where your form your own identity and utilize all that you've learned from your mentors and your studies。 You start branching out your knowledge in aims to create a niche within your field。 Mastery focuses on attaining and surpassing your 10，000 hours， which leads to the development of your intuition。 This allows you to act and think fluidly， as if your mind and body are acting as one at what you have mastered。 Overall， it was a good book that reinforces the fact that mastery of anything only comes from constant learning， practice， patience， and hard work。 。。。more

Mastery provides an excellent framework for individuals to follow， the ultimate goal being to achieve total mastery in their respective fields。 Outright， Mastery does nothing revolutionary or outrageous， but rather compiles psychological insights and stories of masters throughout history to make a comprehensive guide for the passionate and the ambitious。

An absolute must-read for every person graduating into the workforce。 In language similar to the legendary Think and Grow Rich book by Napoleon Hill， this book identifies the precise steps to a life of Mastery。 This is not restricted to only the professional， but the personal life as well。Discipline， Patience and Perspective are some of the concepts deeply touch upon。This book calls the reader to truly let go of the tags society has put upon him/her， and embrace simple childlike curiosity which An absolute must-read for every person graduating into the workforce。 In language similar to the legendary Think and Grow Rich book by Napoleon Hill， this book identifies the precise steps to a life of Mastery。 This is not restricted to only the professional， but the personal life as well。Discipline， Patience and Perspective are some of the concepts deeply touch upon。This book calls the reader to truly let go of the tags society has put upon him/her， and embrace simple childlike curiosity which naturally leads to continuous learning and improvement。 A magnificent read。 。。。more

Great book it’s a very good introductory to how you actually be a master in what you do I love it it’s good to read I will give it five star little bit simple but very useful

Started off great， reaffirming some of my own recent choices and work， and I loved the true life examples from some of the world's most renowned Masters。 BUT the book just turned into complex waffle and the last half dragged for me。 Not sure I'll be back for more of Greene's 'bestsellers' based on 'Mastery' but never say never。。。 Started off great， reaffirming some of my own recent choices and work， and I loved the true life examples from some of the world's most renowned Masters。 BUT the book just turned into complex waffle and the last half dragged for me。 Not sure I'll be back for more of Greene's 'bestsellers' based on 'Mastery' but never say never。。。 。。。more

An interesting description of a long-term process to excel at any field， it is surprising how broad the text actually is to allow this universality。 Overall the advice presented is meaningful and rich， however it is at times a bit cryptic to follow， most probably due to the fact that this is a summarized version of a bigger work。 The stories introducing each chapters are by themselves very interesting and they serve their purpose to open discussion on the topic in a smooth way。I have two complai An interesting description of a long-term process to excel at any field， it is surprising how broad the text actually is to allow this universality。 Overall the advice presented is meaningful and rich， however it is at times a bit cryptic to follow， most probably due to the fact that this is a summarized version of a bigger work。 The stories introducing each chapters are by themselves very interesting and they serve their purpose to open discussion on the topic in a smooth way。I have two complaints about this book。 The first is that the book is advertised as a more perverse， "get power for the sake of dominating" kind of book whereas in reality it aims something different （that probably wouldn't sell as much）。 The second complaint is the fact that claims of how the brain works are not supported at all by any kind of research or study。 A good way to take this book to the next level would be simply to bring scientific evidence for its claims。 。。。more
