[Robert Greene](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Greene_(American_author)) is an American 🏷️#author best known for a series of long-form books on power, strategy, seduction, and human nature that have become recurring references in business, military, hip-hop, and political circles since the late 1990s.
His best-selling books include The 48 Laws of Power (1998), The Art of Seduction (2001), The 33 Strategies of War (2006), The 50th Law (co-authored with 50 Cent, 2009), Mastery (2012), and The Laws of Human Nature (2018). Greene's signature method assembles each chapter around a single law or strategy, supports it with densely researched historical and literary case studies — from Sun Tzu to Talleyrand to John D. Rockefeller — and pairs it with a cautionary or affirming countercase. Critics have disputed the moral framing of the early books, particularly The 48 Laws of Power, while practitioners across business and creative fields have repeatedly cited the same texts as foundational reading.
