From the [#1]() New York Times-bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power comes the definitive new book on decoding the behavior of the people around youRobert Greene is a master guide for millions of readers, distilling ancient wisdom and philosophy into essential texts for seekers of power, understanding and mastery. Now he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people's drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves.
多数时候,你觉得自己理性?他人善良?
你以为职场都该正面积极,却看不懂明摆的尔虞我诈?为什么人总爱和人比较?渴望拥有别人的财富、地位甚至外表?为何有人会一再爱上不对的人?为什么英国公民宁愿脱欧?美国人民会挺狂人川普?
因为「人性」在下棋,我们不过是被摆布的棋子而已。
《人性18法则:认识自己、透视他人, 解码人类行为第一专书》第一本解码人类行为专书,让你浸淫在各式各样的人类行为中,并学会破解这些行为的密码。读完本书,你将彻底改变你看待自己、他人甚至世界的方式。
We are social animals. Our very lives depend on our relationships with people. Knowing why people do what they do is the most important tool we can possess, without which our other talents can only take us so far. Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control, how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose. Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defense.
读完本书,你将:
变成更沉着、更有策略的人类观察者。
更精准判读他人不断释出的讯号,更有识人之明。
变得强大足以对抗人生中躲不掉的损友、小人或各种有毒人格者。
知道想激励人、影响人,要扳动哪一根杠杆才能事半功倍。
能挣脱低潮和困境,顺利摆脱负面行为模式。
变得更具同理心,让你与身边的人建立起更深刻、更满意的关系。
改变看待自身潜力的眼光,察觉内心更理想的自己,并着手去实践
看穿人的面具:
角色扮演法则
人往往会戴上面具来让自己展现出最好的一面──谦虚、自信、努力。他们会谨言慎行,会看起来对我们说的话充满兴趣。他们会学着隐藏自身的不安全感与羡慕之情。若把外表看到的他们当真,那我们就永远不会知道他们内心在想什么。甚至有的时候,我们会被他们突发的抗拒、敌意与操弄所蒙蔽。所幸,这张面具并不是滴水不漏地毫无缝隙。人会持续性地泄漏出自己的本性以及无意识的欲望,因为非语言的线索,如:脸部的表情、音色的转折、身体肌肉的张力与人紧张时的本能反应等并非他们能完全控制。你必须熟练于这种「非语言的语言」,让自己面对不论男人或女人都有一双火眼金睛,不会为他们的浮面所欺。有了这种神功护体,你就能对很多人事物防患于未然。反过来说,由于表象是别人用来评判你的根据,你也必须学着去表现出自己最好的一面,让角色扮 ▌人性和你想的不一样:你没有你想的理性,他没有你想的善良!
罗伯·葛林(Robert Greene)身为多本国际畅销冠军书作者、全球千万读者追随的人生导师,他最善于从历史取材,将古老的智慧和哲理化为充满洞见的文本,供有心追求成功和影响力的人浸淫、汲取。这次他再将其如剃刀般锋利的文笔挥向「人性」,带你看清决定人类行为背后你所不知的强大力量,如何影响个体的成败,左右人类的命运。
葛林认为,人类是社会动物,我们的生活始终围绕着各种关系存在。理解人类的所作所为,可让我们更能在社会立足,也是我们所能想像得到最有用的工具,或说能力。少了这种能力,即使拥有异禀天赋,也无法带我们走得太远。
本书带你走入历史长河,汲取如雅典领袖伯里克利、苏联头子史达林、催眠之父艾瑞克森、时尚传奇香奈儿、英国女王伊莉莎白一世、人权斗士金恩博士、石油大亨洛克斐勒等多位传奇人物的经历,说明促成人类行为背后你我所不知的18种原始力量,如:不理性、自恋、短视、欣羡、强迫症、防卫心、从众、挫败感和攻击性等,如何导引出许多惊人成就或人为灾难,而透过这些精采绝伦的故事剖析,我们得以学会如何在关键时刻跳脱情绪的控制,培养出自我掌控力、如何通透人性弱点发展出高度同理心、如何看穿人类的面具,以及如何抗拒群体力量,避免随波逐流,找到专属于自己的人生意义与使命感。甚至轮到该你演戏时,知道如何演好、如何适时加入戏剧效果。
▌通透人性法则,人生不再撞墙!
人性比我们想的更复杂、神秘且引人入胜。然而,科技进步和社群媒体带来的巨变,使人类比以往更耽溺于自我世界,而其自恋程度也是前所未见。葛林认为,想让人生不再撞墙,或更进一步打进任何群体,发挥你想要的影响力,人性,都是你必须重新通透的一门学问。跟随本书揭示的人性18法则,彻底认识自己,打破负面行为模式,才能趋吉避凶;学会洞察人心,才能掳获人心:
‧不理性的法则:人生有多少决定,是你的情绪作主,而非你的理性?
‧自恋的法则:人人自恋的时代,学会把自恋炼成自信,再用同理心培养出圈粉超神力!
‧角色扮演的法则:很少人会有话直说,学会破解非语言线索,你也能像通灵一样善解人意!
‧强迫症行为的法则:人生不停鬼打墙?有时问题不在你,而在你身边的有毒性人格!
‧垂涎的法则:如何让人爱不释手?知道何时和如何有所保留,成为别人「渴望」而不可及的目标。
‧防卫心的法则:如何软化反对你的人?化身深度听众,学会善用对方的话和固执,把他拉到同一阵线!
▌人性和你想的不一样:你没有你想的理性,他没有你想的善良!

**How can I contribute to the discussion if I haven’t read the book?**
The book is simply a conversation starter - our discussions often branch out into related themes, personal experiences and broader topics of interest. Our gathering is more about socialising and engaging in decent conversations with book lovers, rather than a formal seminar.

Absolutely! Our gatherings are all about open conversations, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on any book that’s been captivating to you.

This is China’s first all-steel bridge and, in Shanghai style, lights up in different colors in the evening. This steel bridge from 1907 is one of a few unequal height truss bridge in China. It played a part in numerous books and movies With its rich history and unique design, it is a symbol of ShanghaiSimply enjoy the walk on the wooden deck of this old bridge
Suzhou Creek holds a special place in the hearts of Shanghai residents. The region's silks and ceramics were carried along the Maritime Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), and centuries later the area became an early industrial hub of the city.
Since Shanghai was forced to open its port in 1843, the creek has been the backdrop for dramatic landmarks in the city's history. It was the scene of wartime suffering and the birthplace of China's earliest national industries.
North Bund offers innovation, history, stunning skyline views
Shanghai’s riverside areas have already been transformed with greenery and walking paths, shikumen residences are being renovated, and the historic North Bund is becoming the city’s “most beautiful parlor.” Let's have a walk along North Bund, a gem with stunning views of the Lujiazui skyline, plenty of thrilling adventures to get up to, and countless photo-worthy moments waiting for you to capture.

Whether at work, in relationships, or in shaping the world around you, The Laws of Human Nature offers brilliant tactics for success, self-improvement, and self-defense.

看穿人的面具:
角色扮演法则
人往往会戴上面具来让自己展现出最好的一面──谦虚、自信、努力。他们会谨言慎行,会看起来对我们说的话充满兴趣。他们会学着隐藏自身的不安全感与羡慕之情。若把外表看到的他们当真,那我们就永远不会知道他们内心在想什么。甚至有的时候,我们会被他们突发的抗拒、敌意与操弄所蒙蔽。所幸,这张面具并不是滴水不漏地毫无缝隙。人会持续性地泄漏出自己的本性以及无意识的欲望,因为非语言的线索,如:脸部的表情、音色的转折、身体肌肉的张力与人紧张时的本能反应等并非他们能完全控制。你必须熟练于这种「非语言的语言」,让自己面对不论男人或女人都有一双火眼金睛,不会为他们的浮面所欺。有了这种神功护体,你就能对很多人事物防患于未然。反过来说,由于表象是别人用来评判你的根据,你也必须学着去表现出自己最好的一面,让角色扮 ▌人性和你想的不一样:你没有你想的理性,他没有你想的善良!
罗伯·葛林(Robert Greene)身为多本国际畅销冠军书作者、全球千万读者追随的人生导师,他最善于从历史取材,将古老的智慧和哲理化为充满洞见的文本,供有心追求成功和影响力的人浸淫、汲取。这次他再将其如剃刀般锋利的文笔挥向「人性」,带你看清决定人类行为背后你所不知的强大力量,如何影响个体的成败,左右人类的命运。
葛林认为,人类是社会动物,我们的生活始终围绕着各种关系存在。理解人类的所作所为,可让我们更能在社会立足,也是我们所能想像得到最有用的工具,或说能力。少了这种能力,即使拥有异禀天赋,也无法带我们走得太远。
本书带你走入历史长河,汲取如雅典领袖伯里克利、苏联头子史达林、催眠之父艾瑞克森、时尚传奇香奈儿、英国女王伊莉莎白一世、人权斗士金恩博士、石油大亨洛克斐勒等多位传奇人物的经历,说明促成人类行为背后你我所不知的18种原始力量,如:不理性、自恋、短视、欣羡、强迫症、防卫心、从众、挫败感和攻击性等,如何导引出许多惊人成就或人为灾难,而透过这些精采绝伦的故事剖析,我们得以学会如何在关键时刻跳脱情绪的控制,培养出自我掌控力、如何通透人性弱点发展出高度同理心、如何看穿人类的面具,以及如何抗拒群体力量,避免随波逐流,找到专属于自己的人生意义与使命感。甚至轮到该你演戏时,知道如何演好、如何适时加入戏剧效果。
▌通透人性法则,人生不再撞墙!
人性比我们想的更复杂、神秘且引人入胜。然而,科技进步和社群媒体带来的巨变,使人类比以往更耽溺于自我世界,而其自恋程度也是前所未见。葛林认为,想让人生不再撞墙,或更进一步打进任何群体,发挥你想要的影响力,人性,都是你必须重新通透的一门学问。跟随本书揭示的人性18法则,彻底认识自己,打破负面行为模式,才能趋吉避凶;学会洞察人心,才能掳获人心:
‧不理性的法则:人生有多少决定,是你的情绪作主,而非你的理性?
‧自恋的法则:人人自恋的时代,学会把自恋炼成自信,再用同理心培养出圈粉超神力!
‧角色扮演的法则:很少人会有话直说,学会破解非语言线索,你也能像通灵一样善解人意!
‧强迫症行为的法则:人生不停鬼打墙?有时问题不在你,而在你身边的有毒性人格!
‧垂涎的法则:如何让人爱不释手?知道何时和如何有所保留,成为别人「渴望」而不可及的目标。
‧防卫心的法则:如何软化反对你的人?化身深度听众,学会善用对方的话和固执,把他拉到同一阵线!
▌人性和你想的不一样:你没有你想的理性,他没有你想的善良!

Frequently asked questions:
**Do I have to finish the book to attend**?
Not at all. If you plan to read or have read it, that’s great; if you haven’t touched it, you’re still more than welcome to join. Come and meet like-minded people and connect over the topic as well as the book.
**How can I contribute to the discussion if I haven’t read the book?**
The book is simply a conversation starter - our discussions often branch out into related themes, personal experiences and broader topics of interest. Our gathering is more about socialising and engaging in decent conversations with book lovers, rather than a formal seminar.
**Can I also discuss my own fav book or the book I recently read?**
Absolutely! Our gatherings are all about open conversations, and we’d love to hear your thoughts on any book that’s been captivating to you.
**Is this group open to everyone?**
Yes - this is a friendly and inclusive group, welcoming everyone regardless of gender, sexuality, or background. The event is designed to make it easy to meet and connect with fellow book lovers in our community.
**What if I'm shy about speaking in front of the group?**
No pressure! You're welcome to participate in the way that feels most comfortable for you. Whether you share your views or just listen, your presence is valued. A lot of people come alone - so don't be shy!!

The Games of Life Part 2: Choosing the Games That Truly Matter
💡Once you see the games of life… you can never unsee them.
Last Sunday we explored a powerful idea: life may be made up of many different games we play—security, money, relationships, knowledge, service, influence, and awareness.
But understanding the games is only the beginning.
📅In this second session, Adrian Cahill explores how these games interact, compete, and support each other. Participants will reflect on how different pursuits influence personal decisions, priorities, and life direction.
🎯When awareness increases, something powerful happens—we gain the ability to choose which games deserve our energy.
🎯This interactive MOTIVATE Community session invites deeper reflection on living consciously, aligning motivations with purpose, and creating balance among the many pursuits of life.
🎯Join us for this thoughtful and engaging conversation.
**🎤 ABOUT THE MOTIVATE COMMUNITY**
Our community is a not for profit, social enterprise. We share passion for personal and community growth and evolution.
Started by Adrian Cahill, partly Townsville local, partly expatriate and international Coach. For the last years Adrian has brought hundreds of new & experienced coaches/therapist/speakers to our live and virtual community sharing from the heart.

Wine Tasting - Newcomers Night
This is "***New Members Night***." If you are one of the many folks on the fence about coming to your first wine tasting with the *Hilliard Wine Club*, this is the night to come. There will be many other new people, so you won't be alone. And the regulars will be there to help make you feel welcome. We're a relaxed and warm group. We hope to see you.
**SIDE NOTE:** New members are welcome to ALL our Friday night wine tastings, but this night is a special overture to those who don't want to feel that they are the only new person in the room. Don't worry. You won't be. And don't hesitate to RSVP to other events.
**OLD MEMBERS NOTE**: Hey Old Members! You're not excluded from this event. We expect to see you there to help make the new members feel welcome.
**Sample 4 different wines** this Friday for $15 (*Cash or Venmo only please*). Glasses are provided. Bring a snack to share. Bring a bottle to share if you care to. See all the details below for the Hilliard Wine Club Wine Tasting. In Person. In Real Life. Actual Wine from glass bottles with corks and everything.
**Wine**: Tastings will be $15 for four samples as always. And you are welcome to bring a bottle of your favorite wine to share with others. Participation in the wine tastings is optional. But since you’re going, I will buy enough wine to cover you. If you bring your own wine and do not participate in the tasting you will only pay $10 to cover the door charge.
**Parking**: There are several public parking lots near the Alive614 hall. Please be careful to NOT park in private parking lots. They do tow. Check Google maps to scope out your space. Anyone who is early could easily find a parking space on the street nearby.
**Glasses**: …will be provided. Please note that after the wine tasting, the glasses need to be returned to the boxes at the service table. Please be gentle, our glasses are fragile. Uh, they are made of glass!
**Food**: You are welcome to bring a snack to share. It is not required. Most people do though. If no one brings anything, there will be nothing.
**Code of Conduct**: Though mostly understood, it’s still worth mentioning. We don’t have rules per se, but we highly discourage the following topics of discussion because they are likely to incite anti-social responses - Sex, Politics, Religion. Please don’t mistake this as an attempt to limit your free speech rights but rather a guide to a place and time for appropriate discussions.
**Extra Wine**: After everyone has had their samples, we remove the pouring spouts and any remaining wine is poured freely to whomever wants it. I hate having leftover wine.
**Queen of Hearts**: The Queen of Hearts raffle is a fundraiser for the club and a Barnum and Bailey type extravaganza - minus the dancing ponies, clowns, and actual circus. Bring your ***cash*** as the Queen does not accept American Express or other plastic.
**After the lights go out**: After the last sip of wine, when we clean up and turn the lights out, if you still haven’t had enough of us, it is typical for a group to get together and go to a local eatery for food and/or drinks or coffee.
Again, We look forward to meeting new members and reuniting with old friends.
Sincerely, ***Paul Uttermohlen***,
**Red 1 Realty**
*Your Hilliard Wine Club Host*
Using Philosophy to Cope with Current Events
So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!
Contra dance March 21 (First Unitarian Universalist Church) note new time!
# **Band and caller TBA**
Beginner lesson at 1:30, regular dancing begins at 2:00 pm
NOTE THAT WE ARE TEMPORARILY DANCING IN THE AFTERNOON INSTEAD OF EVENING. Dance with us in the afternoon then you can still go out in the evening!
**Sponsor: All Soles Contra and Square Dancing, First Unitarian Universalist Church, 93 W. Weisheimer Rd., Columbus OH 43214**
WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing!
Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor.
Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 1:30 - 2:00, followed by dancing 2:00 - 430. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner.
Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot.
Please bring your own refillable water bottle.
