I’ve mentioned Mastery on the podcast several times because it’s one of those rare books that can fundamentally shift how you approach your passions. Whether you want to be a better writer, singer, or mathematician, this book will challenge your perception of what it takes to excel. Most of us strive to be good at something, but few of us ever reach the level of mastery. Robert Greene’s Mastery argues that the difference isn’t in talent, wealth, or luck—it’s in the willingness to commit fully, to embrace the often difficult and solitary path of true mastery. What I find most powerful about this book is how it gave me the courage to deeply commit to my own passions in writing and literature, striving for mastery in a way that’s both inspiring and attainable. If you’re ready to move beyond being merely good at something and aim for mastery, this book is a must-read.
