Mastery - A fantastic read if you want to accomplish anything in life.

Hello friends for the past three weeks I had been reading and trying to finish the 50th law of power by Robert Greene and just struggled with it so much. With an extra push I finally finished and now I am at THEE book I have been so anxious to start: MASTERY by Robert Greene, here is what the book is about and what I think of it so far.


Mastery (2012) is the fifth book by American author Robert Greene The book examines the lives of great historical figures - such as Charles Darwin, Mozart, and Henry Ford -and contemporary leaders, such as Paul Graham and Freddie Roach - and distills the traits and universal ingredients that made them masters

Synopsis: Mastery explains how to become a leader in any given field by examining the lives and pathways to success of historical masters such as Mozart, Einstein and Darwin, as well as "living masters" which Greene interviewed—including Paul Graham, Freddie Roach, Santiago Calatrava, Temple Grandin, Yoky Matsuoka,V.S. Ramachandran, Teresita Fernandez, Cesar Rodriguez, and Daniel Everett

My view: I am loving this book so much I am almost done with it and can already say what a change I am seeing in myself, my way of thinking and evaluating my goals has changed significantly so much that originally I was the kind of person who set dreams and had trouble setting a clear map out of goals, (mind you this book is not about goal setting) yet having read a few chapters of the book reality dawned upon me in a beautiful way. The book is written in an effortlessly flowing manner you can always pick up from where you left of easily, the stories of the great masters are not only inspiring but are used to illustrate points in a way that is simple yet powerful and not over glamorized. I rate this book 10/10


I recommend this book to everyone who wants to accomplish anything in life, anyone who struggles with failure, confidence and finding their purpose in life. - *Mlungu
