This book is the culmination of author Robert Greene's 25 years of research into the topics of power, persuasion, strategy, mastery, and human nature, distilling the core lessons from his previous works and those currently in progress.
This book, which consists of one year, 12 months, and 366 days (including February 29th), can be grouped into four major themes of three months each.


The first three months (January-March) advise you on how to reject all external voices that offer guidance, and instead discover your own voice, what makes you unique, and listen to your purpose and calling.
This inner voice will guide you in all your future choices.
It also shows that what matters is not academic background or money, but perseverance and a desire to learn, and that failure, mistakes, and conflict can be the best opportunities to learn, and that from all this learning, true creativity and mastery arise.

The next three months (April-June) will be spent training to see through the political nature of the professional world and to realize the dangers of mistaking appearances for reality.
Advice on how to recognize the dangers before you get caught in the emotional whirlpool and how to stand up to and win against emotional manipulation players.

The following three months (July-September) will explore how genuine persuasion and influence can be effective.
Instead of being self-centered and saying what's on your mind, learn to understand how others think and appeal to their selfishness.
This will help you become an outstanding strategist in life, effectively pursuing causes you truly believe in and achieving your goals.

The last three months (October-December) will be spent looking into the motivations behind all human actions, including your own.
By reflecting on who you are and realizing that you are a flawed human being like everyone else, you will not only become more empathetic and forgiving, but you will also find the key to breaking bad habits.
It also helps us face the wonders of life by confronting our deepest fears of death, and to be grateful for every moment we experience the sublimity of life.

As the protagonist of 『Law of the Day』, you will navigate a world filled with dangerous and harmful people.
You will shed your delusions and face the battle ahead with a stronger appearance.
You will find comfort and joy in seeing people and the world in their true light.
