The nature of human behavior is much more complex and multifaceted than it seems at first glance. The reasons for the actions of other people remain a mystery to us, and even we ourselves sometimes act unexpectedly for ourselves. In his new book, social interaction psychology researcher Robert Green, author of the bestselling book "48 Laws of Power," analyzes the mechanisms of human relationships that have a colossal impact on our destiny. The author talks about 18 features, to one degree or another inherent in each person; teaches how to turn flaws into advantages, counteract aggressiveness, narcissism and arrogance and not fall for the tricks of manipulators, recognizing toxic personality types in time. He reinforces the conclusions with examples from the lives of famous people of different eras - from Pericles to Coco Chanel, from Mary Shelley to the Fat couple, from Elizabeth I and Danton to Rockefeller, Nixon and Martin Luther King. The multifaceted, original, witty book of the polymath and connoisseur of human nature is intended for a wide range of readers.
