“The Laws of Human Nature provide first-class comprehensive and profound information on how to deal effectively with our fellow human beings. Greene' s intense curiosity about the inner workings of humanity is infectious, because it invites us, to join him as co-discoverers in his quest for, why people, including ourselves, they do it, what are they doing.
