Napoleon's Psychology: Complex Motivations and Destiny

Napoleon's psychology is a complex mix of motivations and thoughts. While he found it difficult to pinpoint his true intentions, he acknowledged that greatness is closely related to addiction. Work was his element, and he was addicted to it. Inaction made him depressed. He also believed in destiny, though he didn't have a clear idea of what it entailed. He trusted fate and responded to events as they unfolded. Instead of a grand master plan, he approached life as a series of projects, responding to circumstances rather than trying to control them.
