- Strategy is an art that requires not only a different way of thinking but an entirely different approach to life itself. Transform yourself into a strategic warrior in your daily life.
Robert Greene is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, The 50th Law, Mastery, The Laws of Human Nature, and most recently, The Daily Laws.

Law #9: Win Through Your Actions, Never Through Argument
Win thru argument save energy
@@zac2877 It's going to be a Pyrrhic victory & you'll end up losing energy.
@@biocykle whoa dude, that I had to go look that up with that word meant, and you just blew my mind thank you
@@zac2877 well it was in the video :)
@@biocykle I admit.....I didn't watch the whole thing
Glad to see Robert in apparent better health. His ideas help lots of people and the world.
His neck is jacked! Strong dude
💯✊
Help is das beste gift 🎉
What happened to him?
no word for ur such increadible work just thanks a lot
Getting Robert's content in shorter form from himself feels like I'm having a great advantage to 99%.
Always remember to take action Kings.
key points:
-Being strategic is a way to have power and control in life.
-To be a strategist, you need to change how you look at the world and think about Power, Seduction, and Strategy.
-Most people live in Tactical Hell because they continually react emotionally to what people say and do.
-To get out of Tactical Hell, you need to enter Strategic Heaven by altering how you look at things and responding rationally instead of emotionally.
-Being a strategist in life means considering other ways to respond to somebody's behavior and creating options instead of just reacting. It is a way to have power and control in business and any other setting.
Great
It all feels very circular to me, i.e. from what you wrote @amandamate, "To be a strategist, you need to look at how you think about .... strategy." This is very unsatisfying as an explanation, isn't it?
@@douglasobannon you established that we should not read the comments, you are correct.
@@user-zt9fd7nn3j Do you have anything to add to the 'strategy' discussion? I think it's an interesting term to explore. The term 'strategy' is so overused and seems to mean whatever the user wants it to mean at the moment ... and nothing in general ... which is very unsatisfying if you're trying to understand what 'strategy' (the man-made construct) actually IS.
You just vomted a bunch of business jargon instead of English.
The moment you start thinking instead of reacting, you become a strategist in life! what a great advice👌 Thank you, Mr. Robert Greene!
It's an odd one. It feels like you would start to get into a situation of paranoia, or at least neuroticism wondering about peoples motivations all the time. I have extreme (and I mean extreme) low levels of neuroticism on any tests I've done. This does mean I'm probably not thinking strategically enough but I don't want to get into a habit of being some kind of Machiavellian character always scheming and assuming other people are scheming against me and countering those moves. Sounds exhausting and dumb tbh.
Robert you‘re a legend.
Thank you Mr. Greene. Just an hour ago my brother came back from work and instantly started "jokingly" insulting my weight while I was happily eating cookies ( I'm a woman). Instead of reacting or defending myself, I looked him in the eyes and calmly pointed out he must be miserable right now that's why he's soft-bullying me. He's been doing this for the past few weeks consistently and I've realized it's because he's not happy at work. Hence, him trying to evoke strong reactions in order to gain sense of power.
For the past year, I've been reading your books consistently and they guided me to process people's intentions much more accurately. I now see the hurt behind aggressive masks. This video was a confirmation to what happened. Lol if he doesn't stop, I might have to give him a taste of his own medicine sooner or later 😇.
These "wars" happen on small scales too!
ThankYou for sharing. Eye opening info right here.
Internal wounds and hurt are expressed externally.
You're doing great.. but how about someday sitting alone with him and talk his situation through.. Pains are like icebergs.. 10% on the outside 90 inside.
Peace 🌟
Interesting.
@@ayyuhhshh2169 Yeah of course I let him vent his frustration from time to time. But he's the type of person that will ALWAYS push your boundaries if you let him. My other male siblings aren't like this, but he is so I act accordingly to his nature.
Thank you very much for existing. I found your book "48 laws of power" in my dad's library when I was a little boy. Opening that book is one of the best decision I have ever made. Thank you very much Sir.
“Little boy”?😂😂 I thought the book came out not long ago?
@@cccddd2323 no kidding isn't it crazy how time flies
@@jmm1817 looool I thought it came out in 2018 or something 😂
Only missed it by 20 years😄
@@jmm1817 hahaaa
This is the best practical advice/strategy for emotional intelligence and anger management!
I appreciate your calm thinking.
Thanks Robert, right on. When upset about something i say this phrase to myself "I have no opinion about this matter" . It applies to all things, i dont have to search. It instantly releases me - just like Robert said, I never realized how much of our day and time is spent being judge and jury about absolutely everything, things i actually dont even care about. it was exhausting. I use it multiple times a day (in my head of course) regarding my partners habits, and it lets me roll right through without getting upset, the habits even become endearing:)
My advice... "Trust no one. Not even yourself."
At any one moment we humans can make a fatal error.
Wisdom takes long time to develop but life teaches you slowly if you have the ability to learn
I can't thank you enough Robert for the insights you have given me on understanding and coping with the complex, contradictory and perplexing schema of human interactions. You rock!
I've found Robert Greene as the greatest thinker of this time we are living in ,he has tremendous impacted my life positively , his speeches are eye opening.
Robert, thank you so much. You are heaven sent. These past 10 years was hell and your book on 48 laws became my guiding light. I read them as free pdfs but I will buy hardbound copies this year.
The best advice I had starting this 2023 with a "strategy approach" with no bias from respectable writer Mr.Robert Greene. Thank You! Happy 2023.
Thank you Sir, for all that you have given to this world.
reading your books certainly changed how i think without even realizing it i found my self acting unlike i would before gaining better understanding of myself thank u for that you are a genius
Merci beaucoup Robert Greene ❤️
Thank you Robert Greene.
Thank you! I’ve been better at not reacting every single time. I still get very triggered though and the only one who can get me this way is my husband. I have really bad trust issues from past relationships so I do realize that this is an issue with me because my husband hasn’t necessarily gave me a reason not to trust him. Is still very had to trust and the moment something doesn’t seem consistent I’m already panicking but keep it to myself but I also do start to be very short with him when talking to him. Like I said I’ve been getting better but there’s still so much work to do. I just hope that there is hope for me because is running my life!
Giving no reaction to people angering you on purpose is not easy, but I must do it regardless so I can plan better as a strategist. I must like doing hard things and improve my ignoring skills.
It’s completely easy. I laugh at their small level of awareness and emotional intelligence. I have pity for them. I say anything I want as a response and leave them utterly in shock, or confused.
Very good, thank you! A good start I find for myself is to wait after your first impulse rushed through, recognizing it but not reacting to it. Because often it is just a pain reaction, and reacting out of pain is rarely wise.
I love these cram sessions short, sweet, and right to the point.
Thanks for the wisdom Mr. Greene, your book The 48 Laws of Power has been one of the best I've read.
Keep up the great work
Thank you for all your wisdom
Im very glad that I know him very early! we need more people like him
He’s so inspiring 🌹
Your books , talks and ideas are amazing . I like how you talk about life , power , strategy , and mastery . 🤝Thank you
Hola Robert,
I want to tell you that i learn so much from you. Gracias.
May the Universe be with you always. Peace and light. 💖
Thank you Robert.
I would love to sift thru those albums and books.
"Taking a step back" and seeing "the big picture" can aid in thinking your own strategies, I agree. But I add: 1) It is important to distinguish between A) immediate battlefield tactics and B) over-arching war strategy. The strategy of the entire war defines the prefered victory conditions, after many battles. The tactics include the chosen actions at each battle. 2) Also, it would be prudent for Robert Greene to point out that if you are just reacting, your “opponent” may already have a hidden strategy (or always have a hidden strategy if they are lying). And you can figure this strategy out so you can play on equal footing. 3) It is a Game Theory secret to know that BEFORE you begin negotiations, you can change the stakes and the rules. Meaning, you don't have to wait to see “what's on the table” to begin playing. You can stop the game and change what's on the table before you play and risk something. Your actions for adding and subtracting what's on the table changes your current leveraging values.

Thank you so much Mr Greene.... u have been one of the most influential people in my life. Ur books have changed my perception in more than one ways. They r an eye- opener n is my go to place wenevr i am confused or baffled..... n have ended up getting better ideas than expected. Bless you sir.
Thank you sir for showing a right pathway by your thought ❤
Thank you Mr. Greene.
How privileged are we to have Robert Greene in this era with us, sharing his way of thinking on CZcams. Thank you so much Robert Greene for expanding into CZcams and for sharing your thoughts, you truly are revolutionary.
Thank you. Fear of loss of something (love, recognition, sleep, food, safety, money, health ect...) creates anger. Repressing that anger over time creates feelings of hopelessness and depression.
I feel hopeless and depress whenever I repress my anger. I need to express my anger somehow in order to feel better and avoid getting sick.
@@warrenbradford2597 For me I do Karate, Yoga and Lift weights...and even more important stay hydrated. Your mind and body function better when you top off the fluids. Your mileage may vary.
Very true! Thank you Robert
Hey Robert I'm coming to see u in san fransico in march!! I can't wait to meet u brother. Meeting you and having u sign my book is one of my bucket list goals in life. Glad I'm finally able to make it happen!
Have all your books Sir Robert. Thank you.
Thank you Master Greene
My God. This is such a life changer. I want to apply this to my life
Loving the videos. Thank-you for the amazing work you're doing Rob. Your books and words have helped me turn my life around!
Love this Robert Greene, Michael Porter, Pankaj Ghemawat, and Metternick are among my favourite strategists.
Thanks Robert!! Perfect timing for this to pop up 😉
Yes! It is so true. Now I realised all these years I was only reacting. l am being late, but assume I should focus on this aspect too. Thankyou beloved Sir.👍
Robert, your videos on CZcams are utterly epic. I am very impressed. They serve as bite sized pieces that are easy to digest, as opposed to your written works which are far more dense. The only recommendation I would give, is perhaps get a high quality microphone. Thank you and keep it up!
Thank you so much Robert
Sound has improved
Thank you ‼️
Your books have helped me more than anything else I have tried. I thank you sir and may your God bless your efforts and your journey. ❤
Robert Greene, thank you
This is perfect. Came in the right time for me in life 😅👍
very well said, and, when finding a reasonable solution, you feel comfort. the trick is to keep finding reasons.
That's why i love Robert.
Thank you Robert 😊 💓 ☺ 💗
Impressive, TY 🦾🛞☂️
Awesome!!!! Thank u to dop us for 2023
would love a bookshelf tour! :)
Change the way you look at everything and stop being ignorant about sensing the world.
Thank you for saying that Robert. Really makes your books come alive.
I love the idea seeing you explaining weekly laws. Thank you.
My hero you changed my life for the better
Great advice, great delivery. Love you man. Thank you
I learnt a lot about myself from watching this! Great advice!
Thank your for your videos! 🙏🙏🌸🌸
Thanks Robert ❤
Thanks! I need to listen things like this. Made my day✨
Totally loved it, really needed to hear and implement this.
I just ask myself "does my reaction bring me closer to my goal?". And it is very simple, if the answer is "no" then the reaction is meaningless.
The other part of it is the reaction to the life circumstances. We have something else here, it is not just a reaction to people's words. Here another thing will fit "if you are afraid of hit, you will always be reactive".
That is part of the natural instincts of the human condition.
Hey can you elaborate on "does my reaction bring me closer to my goal?"
@@luckycharm1212 every interaction has an underlying goal. What's your goal when you interact with your boss or your family member? First you should figure out what is the goal of interaction. You can have multiple goals as well.
Excellent. ThankYou for sharing.
@@operationblackbishop4785 Thank you! That's very helpful.
This man is something else.. Wow..!!!
As a natural-born strategist who absolutely loves The 33 Strategies of War, I agree with this message 100%. However, it's easier said than done in the long run to just be and act strategically and rationally.
You have to be on top all the time and maintain that position to have that luxury and only a lucky minority succeeds with that. First, they must work hard and smart to get there. Second, they must get lucky because hard and smart work alone is not enough, unfortunately.
And even if you can master yourself 100% with perfect self-control, it really doesn't matter because you always have to deal with other different people and external events in which you have no control over anyway.
But you can reduce these annoyances, noises, and disturbances by focusing on your career and purpose in life which makes the effort and pain worthwhile. By going all in on a specific plan, everything else falls naturally in line with your path whether it's wrong or right.
The thing is, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't anyway and the game is always the same. Or like Jordan Peterson once said: "You're screwed no matter what you do".
This why I want to be alone by myself for the most part with nothing but peace of mind. This world is not worth fighting for, only yourself.
Thanks I was waiting for this kind of advice
You are one of the most inspiring people I have ever met, you are as real as can be and it is hard to find words to say how much I appreciate your work. It's amazing and the book is great
I admire your work
Certainly needed video
Thank you Robert
God gave u to me..... And I'm very grateful. Always Love❤🙏🏾
I love to enter strategic heaven ❤️✨😊Thanks Robert for sharing! 💫

Man You truuly know your craft so Masterfully, Glad to listen or read your words ...I am very Grateful Thank You Man Great job!!
You are right and I'm the witness.
Robert would have made an exceptional mid evil king! love him. read all his books
Love mr Greene
Thank you for your sharing on the topic. I will be better react with strategy.
Thank you ❤️ You're helping me grow into the person that I want to be and not some walking reaction :(
MR ROBERT.. YOU'VE CHANGED MY LIFE.. thank you very much I'll never forget you ❤️
Sir thank you very much. You always fix my mood
*Strategic heaven* that sounds like something Robert Green would come up with hahaha my favourite contemporary writer!
True. I've been called strategic on multiple occasions throughout my life but I could never really pin point what it is. There's this idea that being strategic means planning 1000 steps ahead but it's more about rational thinking and pattern recognition. Practical, broken down piece of advice. Smashed it Robert.
Win through your reactions, never through arguments
You are a great stratiger
Your books are what I was looking for when I was 13 ..
One day I ll make a strategy to meet you by chance;(
He doesn't even know but he's my mentor I follow him
I learned it from mistakes and I only realised last week that if I waited one day to reply to that email and replying as if it was not me but someone else, I could do it in a more professional manner and didn’t angry at all but very calm.
So relevant for me right now!
Thanks💜
I love his books😘😘
Great insight, on many levels.
Such a my idol robert greene❤
“ strategic heaven “ .. I fucking appreciate and Love this man
