The Law of the Sublime

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 to experience the world in ways that go beyond the virtual. The Sublime connects us to the immense forces in the universe, to the inner worlds of other people, and even to other species, lifting us out of ourselves and giving us the dimensions and depths we yearn for in our lives.

Now he offers a roadmap to the Sublime, showing us how to liberate ourselves from the constraints of contemporary life.
