Power is rooted in our DNA according to Robert Greene, author of "The 48 Laws of Power"
"We want to believe we're descended from angels when we're descended from primates, this is part of our nature and there's nothing to be ashamed of." - Green added.
Greene says the struggle for power affects even the most benign human relationships. Think of how babies threaten, badger and scheme to get their way, he says.
Robert Greene, soft-spoken demeanor seems at odds with his books, has long been charmed with power. His interest was restricted to sports, then he earned a degree in classical studies and saw how power shaped history.
"There is no use in trying to opt out of the game. Instead of struggling against the inevitable ... it is far better to excel at power."
