WTF: Robert Greene's writing in "The 50th law" is insufferable

[Samson II]

There are definitely gems here if you focus purely on the info from 50, but you'll have to wade through Greene continually giving his (often naive and banal) spin on things. Not to mention it is terribly boring, and that means a LOT coming from me. Also, if you are versed in world history, you will find his constant inaccuracies/ oversimplifications annoying.
