The Daily Laws by Robert Greene

What are the benefits for me? A guide to navigating the modern world.

Consider the way life was for our ancestors in the past.

In this untamed wilderness, food was always scarce. Danger lurked at every corner. The weather could change in an instant. A predator could be hiding in the grass. Everywhere, there were threats and obstacles. A single wrong decision or moment of inattention could mean game over. Failing to pay attention to reality here meant, at best, getting injured and, at worst, facing death. The human brain evolved to keep us alive in this environment. It became a tool, a tool for navigating a treacherous reality - the reality of hunting, gathering, and avoiding the jaws of saber-toothed tigers.
