Who is your favorite author and why?

I started reading and listening to a guy named Robert Greene. His wrote some controversial books, most notably the “48 laws of power”. People think the book is about manipulating others. I see it as a guide for life. As much as I don’t want to admit it, I’m still naive at life, even at this age, due to life circumstances. This book opened my eyes. This author is like a life coach for me. He teaches me things that I’ve failed to learn growing up. Listening to his talks on YouTube, it all makes a lot of sense.
