Description
From the author of the multimillion-copy bestsellers The 48 Laws of Power and The Laws of Human Nature comes a life-changing guide to transcending our own limits to master the power of the Sublime.
We struggle today to find more meaning in our lives and for experience that goes beyond the virtual. The Sublime connects us to immense forces in the universe, the inner worlds of others, lifting us out of ourselves and giving us the dimensions and depth we yearn for.
Robert Greene is a trusted guide, distilling ancient wisdom and philosophy into essential texts for seekers of power, social strategies and mastery. Now he offers a roadmap to the Sublime, to liberation from the constraints of contemporary life. Greene draws from science, mythology, history, the arts, nature and more to teach us how to:
- Open our eyes to the strangeness of being alive on this planet
- Free our minds from conventional ways of thinking and perceiving
- Harness the practices of ancient civilizations to transcend modern life
- Reconnect with our childhood selves to perceive the world anew
- Draw on the power found at the fringes of human consciousness
- Access our deepest core self to unleash our natural creative powers
The Sublime opens us to a fuller, more intense life. Alongside awe-inspiring stories, death-defying encounters, astounding discoveries and radical transformations, Greene offers us exercises and meditations. This is an essential text for anyone in search of life's deeper meaning.
