This list is packed with Robert Greene books. Just buy everything he’s written. Everything he writes is brilliant, but here I’ll just list the books with concepts that had the most impact on my mindset.
Do you sometimes feel like you’re navigating a labyrinth, unsure of the motivations driving those around you – or even yourself?
Using numerous examples throughout history, Greene lays out 18 laws that can help us predict and understand the behavior of ourselves and others.
He asks us to step back and become a detached observer of human behavior in order to better navigate our social landscape.
In addition, he points out that we are neither rational beings or moral beings, we are all on a spectrum. The sooner we accept that fact, the better off we will be.
In this insightful, well-researched, thought-provoking book, you can help you better understand how to navigate in a world in which motivations and true personalities are hidden beneath a mask.
After reading, you will not only become more self-aware, but more aware of the social game we are all consciously or subconsciously playing every day.

Want to master a skill, but at a lost on where to start? It all starts with having a proper mindset.
Greene offers wisdom on how to figure out your life’s purpose. In addition, he offers advice on how to block out the distracting voices from those around you. By finding you life’s task you are given a profound sense of direction.
To obtain the ultimate level of Mastery, Greene outlines these important factors:
- Apprenticeship
- Discipline
- Having a mentor
- Developing social intelligence
- Creative action
- Fusing the intuitive with the rational
The confidence and joy that comes with mastering a chosen field is a feeling like no other. But, it all begins with the willingness to focus, do the deep work, and avoid the temptation to stick within our comfort zones.
This is one of the most terrific books on mindset for those who have a passion for something and want to take it as far as it can possibly go.
Be fearless in pursuit of your dreams?
Easier said than done, right?
Fear is a necessary part of human evolution, the more risk adverse, the more a species is likely to survive. However, being in a constant state of fright or flight can lead to a very unhelpful and unproductive anxiety. This anxiety can keep us from pursuing the things that make life truly worth living.
Fear can become a mindset that damages our potential.
Rapper Fifty Cent gives his account of dangerous world of being hustler on the streets of Queens, and navigating the ruthless, often underhanded world of the music industry.
In both worlds, being complacent and giving into fear meant you were food for the wolves. Fifty learned this lesson early and after his brush with death when he was shot nine times. As a result, his relationship with fear changed in such a way that it shaped in him into becoming the multi-millionaire mogul he is his today.
Using key life lessons and historical examples, these two authors share their wisdom for conquering fear. This books discusses useful topics such as having a firm grasp of reality, developing a deep sense of self-reliance, and knowing when to embrace confrontation.
Fifty’s raw account of his life’s struggles and his rise to fame is what makes this book one of the top mindset books that I have ever read.
If you are a person who is constantly putting off something because of fear of the unknown, this book may help you overcome that fear.
As the old saying goes, “Fortune favors the bold.” So be bold and take the leap and grab The 50th Law Now!
This book is similar to Atomic Habits in that it emphasizes the importance of forming good habits.
However, it takes a deeper dive in the science behind habits, pointing out that 40% of our daily actions do not require any sort of mental energy, but are automatic.
Eventually, over time we operate mostly on autopilot and the habits we engage in becomes as natural as brushing our teeth. And so, in time we learn to engage in positive habits that will eventually require little to no mental fortitude.
The book points out that by hacking the habit loop (the cue, routine, reward system) we can train our brains to form new desirable habits and disrupt bad ones.
If you want to empower yourself to take actionable steps to positive habit formation, give this book a read.
