“the source of their success (the various power players in history) could almost always be traced to one single skill or unique quality that separated them form the others.”
Robert Greene, The 50th Law: Overcoming Adversity Through Fearlessness

Robert Greene
“In the evolution of fear, a decisive moment occurred in the nineteenth century when people in advertising and journalism discovered that if they framed their stories and appeals with fear, they could capture our attention.”
Robert Greene, The 50th Law: Overcoming Adversity Through Fearlessness

Robert Greene
“If we can't get rid of our fears and so many of them lay inside of us these fears tend to color how we view the world. We shift from feeling fear because of some threat, to a having a fearful attitude towards life itself....We exaggerate the dangers and our vulnerability. We instantly focus on the adversity that is always possible. We instantly focus on the adversity that is always possible. We are generally unaware of this phenomenon because we accept it as normal. In times of prosperity, we have the luxury of fretting over things. But in times of trouble, this fearful attitude becomes particularly pernicious. Such moments are when we need to solve problems, deal with reality, and move forward, but fear is a call to retreat and retrench.”
Robert Greene, The 50th Law: Overcoming Adversity Through Fearlessness
