Robert Greene is a bestselling author for his books on power, seduction and strategy. His first book, The 48 Laws of Power, is a controversial guide to achieving power, drawing from the likes of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu and Henry Kissinger. The highly cited book has sold over a million copies and continues to be widely debated.

Greene's second book and follow-up to The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, outlines the nine types of seducers (the siren, the rake, the ideal lover, the dandy, the natural, the coquette, the charmer, the charismatic and the star) and draws on historical figures like Cleopatra and John F. Kennedy to reinforce the claims of his psychology.

Greene's other books include The 33 Strategies of War, The Laws of Human Nature, and Mastery. He is an internationally renowned expert on power strategies, having been featured in The New York Times, CNN, The New Yorker, Forbes and more, and he speaks five languages. He lives in Los Angeles.
