    Like the Stoics, Robert Greene has spent decades operating within and around the halls of power. And trying to understand human nature and psychology. And mastering his craft. And advising politicians, leaders, financiers, princes, serial entrepreneurs, platinum-selling musicians. In this video we've compiled some of Robert's best thinking on Stoicism, power, and getting better every day.
    Robert Greene is an American author known for his books on strategy, power, and seduction. He has written six international bestsellers: The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, The 50th Law, Mastery, and The Laws of Human Nature. His newest book The Daily Laws: 366 Meditations on Power, Seduction, Mastery, Strategy, and Human Nature is a daily devotional designed to help you seize your destiny.

    Ryan, thank you so much for the wisdom you share in each video. I didn't know much at all about Athenian Stoicism until I began watching your content, and for me, because I've struggled for 35+ years with anxieties, OCD, severe depression, and chronic suicidal ideation, you have been a literal life saver. Learning about (devouring) Stoicism and adopting the concept of being conscious of my immediate, emotional reactions to situations, people, and the sense that something bad is always going to happen, and then, when I was ready, intentionally controlling my reactions to those things, has changed my life.
    Thank you.

    Use the Alexander Technique to better implement stoic principles - AT allows us to use our minds and bodies in the most efficient way - purely from a bio-mechanical pov - Frederick Mathias Alexander (Australian actor born 1880 ish) called it taking control of our psycho-physical organism - counter intuitively the process involves mentally ceding control - stopping yourself from trying to be right in your ‘use of yourself’ - another fave Alexander phrase

    • @pmakiie
      @pmakiie Před 9 měsíci +1

      I don‘t think it has to necessarily be about meaning. Maybe in this specific case. But it is about investing energy in something „real“ that you set your mind to. Alternative example: I was practicing the handstand for the past 6 months. It‘s very fulfilling but not meaningful (for me).

    This was one of the worst books I’ve ever read. Not that it was badly written, just that the premise is abominable ‘No point in being good, because everyone else is out to screw you over, so might as well get there first’. It destroys your faith in humanity and in many ways is the opposite of what the stoics practiced.
