Do you recommend reading the full book or the summary?
- NumberCruncher 10y agoI like the works of Robert Green so my biased opition is that the book is worth reading. He uses a lot of different examples for describing a principle and generally one or two of them get stuck in my mind making easier to remember the principles. It is kind of "learning by example". His books are also easy to read for me despite of having English as my third language.
- acidbaseextract 10y agoI highly recommend the full book. Robert Greene is killer at providing examples, proving his points then boiling down those examples into action you can take. The persuasive force of hearing the patterns of mastery in the lives of people we all admire, and seeing the variations on the theme that can apply to our own lives, is lost in a summary. Also the audiobook is excellently read, if you're into that sort of thing.
