Man’s A Legend!
Honestly, there’re very, very few who’ve written books like these. It’s a niche genre & it’s hugely popular. In all honesty, I believe if R.G. Could knock out ‘a book a year’ in quantity, people would buy them, every year!I’ve purchased all of the books both in paperback & digitally because: having these books in your pocket is quite simply a tactical advantage in so many ways in daily life. If you can only afford to do one or the other—go for digital. It tends to be cheaper & you’ve the flexibility of a ‘pocket’ library at your finger tips!Dear Robert, I know you are busy & living your life; however, if you feel like upping your releases to one every 24 months, I’m there, with you; buying those titles!

Is FEAR Holding You back?
If like me, you are already a fan of Robert Greene and his work then you'll know what you are in for... key messages around Power (48 Laws of), Seduction (The Art of) backed by beautiful short historically referenced stories that illustrate the message. Wonderfully easy to read with powerful and life changing messages. After reading the 48 Laws and The Art of Seduction it seemed to me that everyone in power or in a high position of influence through politics, celebrity or industry already had this knowledge. It is as if it were some kind of secret that is given only to those in the know.This book has the same power but this time Robert Greene explores the subject of "Fear". Fear in its many forms is exposed as the artificial barrier it is. Overcoming it is the real challenge and Robert Greene uses a map provided by episodes from the life of 50 Cent (the rapper and entrepreneur) to guide you through it. Until this book, 50 Cent held no appeal for me at all. After reading about him? Well I feel some respect for his entrepreneurial spirit, some admiration for the way he dealt with what life has thrown at him (or he has brought on himself) but still don't know if we'll ever be "Homies in Da Hood" if you take my drift. Still, his life provides a good map to overcome adversity and fear and takes you through some pretty awful territory. From the murder of his mother, through hustling drugs in the"hood" to taking nine bullets in a hit, 50 Cent has had more obstacles than most and has had much to fear. His responses and the responses of characters from history in parallel circumstances brought to life here by Robert Greene in this excellent book are where the lessons lie. Enjoy. Use the lessons well. Remove the "fear" and get further and higher than you ever thought possible.

Bit dark, but insightful
Really good read for any musician, if anything it's a little dark. If you've read a lot of the positive-thinking / law of attraction books then you'll find this doesn't sit well with you. It is very insightful however, and honest. There's a really interesting take on "practice" in this book, and how to develop it as a habit. Be open minded as you read this, and don't get too bogged down in some of the more negative facets of the book and you'll find it useful.

Excellent conceptual read.
I had previous read the 49 laws of power by Robert Greene and was impressed with his work & referencing throughout history. Not only did he present a concept (in the manner of a law) but he explained it and reinforced his explanation with occurrences in history where the law could be seen to have taken effect.With this book he accomplishes this even more effectively: with the exemplification of 50 cent and areas of his life. The social mobility possessed and exhibited by Curtis Jackson throughout his life is inspirational, through the medium of his music he managed to change and actively mold his life: this is communicated throughout the book.The underlying theme of the book being 'nihil timendum est' or 'fear nothing' and is a old concept however communicated in a refreshing and innovative way by Greene throughout the book. Other core concepts expressed through the book include: responsibility for ones self and a development of individuality ... key areas that allow opportunities to be fully extracted.An EXCELLENT and concise read, can be re-read easily. Buy you're copy today, make notes and scribble all over it and use it to accomplish your own personal goals.

Astonishing
I am quite new to no nonsense living (I'm approaching 70 years) and by goodness this is an awesome expression of that. I almost highlighted the whole book. A TREASURE TROVE. Love is only authentic if you can love yourself. You can't love without total respect and fearlessness.
