The Law of the Sublime

Description

From the author of the multimillion-copy bestsellers The 48 Laws of Power and The Laws of Human Nature comes The Law of the Sublime, Robert Greene’s guide to moving beyond the limitations of modern life and rediscovering a deeper sense of meaning, creativity and connection.

Greene explores the idea of the Sublime as an experience that lifts us beyond ourselves, connecting us to the immense forces of the universe, the inner worlds of other people and even other species. In a world increasingly shaped by virtual experiences and conventional ways of thinking, he offers a path towards seeing life with greater depth and intensity.

Drawing from science, mythology, history, art, nature and ancient wisdom, Greene examines how we can free ourselves from familiar patterns of thought and perception. He explores ways to reconnect with the openness of childhood, tap into the edges of human consciousness and access the deeper self from which creativity emerges.

Alongside stories of extraordinary discoveries, near-death experiences and profound transformations of consciousness, The Law of the Sublime includes exercises and meditations designed to help readers recognise and experience the Sublime in their own lives.

It is a guide for those seeking to look beyond the ordinary, question the limits they have accepted and develop a richer relationship with the world around them.
