2.0 out of 5 stars Facts
Reviewed in Australia on 5 September 2020

He makes statements that he has no way of knowing or fails to cite his source. For example, "Leonardo would have almost certainly applied this question in some form or another...." (loc 261). Further on, "Reflecting on his life in this way, he would have clearly detected the workings of some kind of hidden force" (loc 301). Fair enough if he was writing a fictional piece, but this is a self help book where he is using the lives of successful people as an example of how one should think to achieve "Mastery". Assuming what someone was thinking 500 plus years ago makes what this author has to say less credible. This subject leads toward scepticism, however this type of material (self help books), can offer up ideas that can help one who may need help in certain areas of their life.
I did not read past the first couple of chapters as I was annoyed by the author's assumptive reporting.

1.0 out of 5 stars Defective - brown pages. Please replace.

Mastery - Robert Greene

For some reason the pages are brown. This is unlike the concise version of any of his other books. I applied for a refund so that I could reorder the book. Unfortunately I was asked to mail it back to them before they would provide a refund.

Please send a new copy as this version is defective. My father owns a previous version of this book, and the pages are white (as they should be).

What a great little book this is!!!!!!!!!!! When the package arrived, I was quite confused how small it was.... I am so used to having the "big" books Robert Greene usually writes, this little book took me by surprise... yet it always is a great value for money... I was thrilled to see how to the point and really deep it was. You simply must buy this book
