If you enjoyed this episode, please do me a little favour and like the video 👍 It helps us gauge what type of conversations you like! Thanks everyone ❤
at long last!! been waiting for this episode like for forever, would have been angry with you for forever if you never brought RG, this man and his books literally raised me.
Our modern day Machiavelli and whether we like it or not we act and sometimes it’s not pretty but not knowing can get you into very deep water. Read Laws of Power his book when it came out and changed how I interact with the world for the better
Great episode. I need to read more
if it wasn't for Robert Greene I don't think I've ever would have really managed getting ahead in my career. This is also the knowledge that nobody teaches you just like financial literacy, manners, communication, and general psychology. I just want to say I do really appreciate the content you put out here from all the great people you interview and for being such a great human being yourself. Listening to this podcast each morning while I'm on my way to work and at work is really, really helpful in my life. And I can definitely imagine the impact you're having on everybody else's lives with the content you put out. Thank you very much again. 💯👍🏾👍🏾 Stay blessed 🙏🏾
Thank you for inviting the great RG 🙌🏾
My husband and i met when i just turned 16 he 17. He was very poor. He took me for steak, gave me a rose and kissed my hand. First date. Hes the love of my life. He died of a heart attack at 43 almost 11 years ago. We were poor but we had love and roses.
Beautiful story. Sorry for your loss
Human beings, the loves of your life, are worth FAAAR MORE than riches. We're here for relationships, and truly nothing more
So beautiful
@@virtuosa69women don’t understand that. They all want to be gifted Birkin bags and rolls royces
@Meatriderphobic I'll take a hot masculine body and a courageous but kind sense of self over an overpriced bag.
I have no problem with people making money, though, and a lot of it if they want, because we do need to survive and even leave money for family to survive.
But relationships matter most. People over profits matter most. When we're dying, we're thinking of people we love and know.
Thank you very much for having me on the podcast Steven.
Great podcast!
🐐
Thank you so much for your words! You´re books are amazing!
I enjoyed hearing your perspective on disability ♿✊
Wish your are my mentor.
“Learn by doing, not by thinking”
- Robert Greene
Damn I got a billion books to write
I thought i was the only one who paid attention to it
I love this quote. I work in healthcare & we say” see 1, do 1, teach 1. I’m lucky enough to work with my hands on a regular basis.
.@@ayoubvision7248
Confidence grows by doing
The art of seduction helped me identify I was the ‘victim’ and the tactics the person was using to manipulate me, helped me see the truth and get out. Thank you Robert.
The one thing that I love about this podcast over some other is that you actually allow your guest to talk and express their points without interruption. That is so amazing.
And rare
How so true! Say for example Huberman lab is a great scientist but he over talks over his guest. I still like him but this guy is something else
It's probably impulsive. They prepare and are both nervous and excited which can be distracting
incredibly unselfish and the pillar of why this podcast is so successful
@@HalfMooN458no, it isn’t. What type of podcasts are you people listening to?
The fact that Robert Greene was still trying to figure it out at 38 gives me so much relief lol
... I'm 72... still trying to figure it out.
😂😂 I feel you
Yeah am only 28
Me too. Just turned 39 at the weekend 🫠🥲
I'm sure most of us are at any age.
You said something really important : Children see through people easily. Its natural to see if a person is good or not
I first read Art of Seduction and then got introduced to 48 Laws of Power. This man changed my life and this was one of the best interviews with him yet. I love this podcast and how the interview is conducted.
so true! really enjoyed how the interviewer asked good questions and let him speak
Can you describe how it changed your life
How did it change your life?
@@tabethacarrasco9110 she is being un revealing remember that
In what ways did he change your life ? I’m just now getting introduced to this gentleman & I’m incredibly curious.
xx
His book is incredible - the wrong people view it as a weapon, the right people view it as a shield. Protects me from the evil in this world, thank you Mr. Greene!
Shield or weapon… it should not be used as a core element in your life’s navigation. Shaping life with this as it’s root will never open you up and experience life as you should. It’s the wrong type of anchor imo. You should always search for the beauty of things, not the ugly.
👍
Which book?
@@futuronluc Yh no you can’t search for the beauty when someone is trying to do wrong to you - this is life, not a fairytale, good luck with it though!
@@sonnygL7 48 laws of power
I truly appreciate this interview because the interviewer not only asked questions that allowed the author to go deeper into his own philosophy, he also questioned or “challenged” his ideas in such a polite way. As an interviewer, you’re not supposed to be so starstruck that you take everything the interviewee says at face value. GET DEEPER into their perspectives!! Great job.
AND he let him finish his thoughts/sentences! Super rare in interviews.
who is believing this? Did you hear him, some of the greatest seducers were not good looking? Obviously try to talk about himself, his books are BS, look at him, that's what you will become outside and INSIDE
💯
Truly agree ❤ what an engaging exchange!!! Kudos to this channel!!!😊
omg yes so true
Excellent questioning.
If it’s ok to say.. this man’s voice is really soothing, has some kind of peace to it.
A Diary of a CEO is my favorite podcast because Steven's genuine curiosity and willingness to be an attentive listener naturally make him an amazing interviewer. This was the absolute best interview I have ever heard with Robert Green.
Love this quote, "If you can't control yourself, how can you be a leader?"!
Same! This one fullyyyyy stuck out to me. I can relate to it so strongly
I can think of many where this fits like a glove
This man embodies all that he has spent his life writing about. Such a mesmerizing mind. Thank you Robert Greene for your works.
He's just an old manipulative POS.
This comment!! Super agree!
Agreed x 100❤
They can't seduce Anyone... Especially not Robert... Look at them!!
No one cared about the book until Hip hop stars started talking about it.
It was never on the top or middle of the self help books around 2008 when I was deep into self help and self improvement.
I remember coming across the title, but very few people actually read it until recently...2015 when hip hop people started mentioning it on media.
Stephen has the interviewing skills of an iconic investigative reporter.
The curiously, reasonable empathy, polite sense of timing combined with an authentic interest in the individual being interview is a dynamic combination.
Investigative reporting at its best.
Yes and he comes across as confident, calm, reasonable, polite, interesting, and interested - and very handsome too 😍 So I’d say he could be a pretty good seducer himself haha!
@@mvp1518Too needy with the begs for likes and subscribes, and the endless ads…I appreciate this channel but he gets annoying with these constant money hungry distractions.
@@LisaValentine1 don't we all... as they said we all have to do what we have to do
I woke up this morning after going to sleep frustrated with my life. I woke up not very excited for today and i poured some coffee. I started watching this and I swear it is something about Roberts voice. I noticed this in other pod casts as well. His voice sounds like he really enjoys the conversation. It's really soothing actually. I feel better.
Robert Greene is the epitome of the wounded healer. So humble in the way he comes across. He is becoming one of my top favorite speakers. This is one of his best interviews as well.
Wow, couldn't have put it better myself!
Most definitely. Robert Greene is gift to this world. Especially, of those who have decided on a path of self construction. Studying the human sociology is such an amazing and very indepth project.
He is not a wounded healer. Us strokers, deplore being told we’re victims. No.
He. Is. A. Wiser. Survivor.❤
He seduces us with his natural way of expression... what a lovely person!
@@jelizabethpetrie6656when I read that comment...I wasn't even thinking for a second "wounded" due to his stroke. I was thinking wounded due to his obvious dismissive avoidant attachment style. Maybe he has overcome it some, but I wonder.
He's textbook DA.
From the saying his childhood was great, yet sharing obvious emotional
disconnect (unavailability) and the distance of his parents. It's hard for most DA's to see...because how can you describe something that wasn't there?
Overt abuse and neglect are obvious, more in your face, in realms of attachment wounding. Covert emotional neglect isn't. As a child you don't know what you've missed. So many DA's describe their childhood as great, fine, nothing wrong...and as you listen, you hear distante, loneliness, and deeper and underlying distrust of others. Robert has all those.
This guy is like the Voyager that went into the unknown, explored, survived and came back to record his findings for the good of all. Bravo!
yes, his books are like the records of human nature preserved and analyzed, with no bias or prejudice, its like he has completely seperated himself from humanity too analyze humans in a manner most introspective
Well said
absolutely agree!
Robert Greene isn’t seducing chicks and hiring enemies in real life. How much has he actually tried? Lol
Yes he still one shoulder higher that other
Sketchy to say the least
It’s ironic
One of the most beautiful things is when someone is vulnerable and open about life
What a strength most people lack !
Robert Greene is a gem, his authenticity and intellect are his natural seduction. I just started reading the "48 Laws of Power" and then I saw this video and I was like "Oh that's him!". Now I have the face of the author. I really enjoyed every minute of this podcast. I did not finish it in one sit, but I kept coming back for more until the conversation is over. Learned so much. love the wisdom and honesty. Great conversation of two intellectual persons. Thanks for sharing it to the world.
Wow this interviewer is amazing, he’s asking good questions and then *actively listening* , in a relaxed way, giving space for Robert Green to really delve into his explanations. So many interviewers have this frantic, frenetic energy and always interrupt, or try to pace too fast etc.
May I buy you a coffee?
@@isaiahk6217 Lol sure 🤷🏻♀️
@Whitney Angelie ha ha. It's admiring that you are familiar with Mr.Greene, but your saved Playlist have absolute bangers in them!
@@isaiahk6217 What can I say, I have really good taste in music 😎.. and so do you it seems 😂😂😂
Respectful
I love Robert Greene's wisdom, transparency & honesty. It's so calming & insightful to listen to him. He speaks eloquently with his words & sentences. I learned so much from all of his insightful experiences. Thank you Robert & Steven
What about when you're 57 and you realized that you've totally wasted your whole life? That's how I feel most of the time. Even so, I still push forward and find that by doing so, good things happen.
Hearing you
Everyone’s on a different journey. Some left this life without even having this realisation. Think onwards, so many things you can still discover at this age.
You still can pursue things you love. You are still alive!
I don’t think you’re alone with this thought.. open ur mind. Don’t be so hard on urself
Im 42 and in that position lol
Steve is the right person to be interviewing people like Robert Greene. His style is perfect to extract the most value out of his interviewees. Great job as always, from what I have listened to so far this is going to be a very good one.

I've been watching for 4 consecutive days now on your channel. I've learned a lot. Write it down, process the thoughts, questions myself about my own opinion about the topics. I'm so glad this platform exist. I've been on the process of knowing myself clearly and being straightforward with my negative traits because I really wanted to change and grow for more better version of myself. I'm 35. And sometimes, I had this regret, because I feel like I've wasted so many years. I wish I had been wise at 17, or 20. I had a lot of trauma growing up. From my parents seperation to failed marriage, to single parenting. Fighting my own darkside while I didn't have any idea how to raise my kids while I had them early at a young age. Looking back, I can say, I'm now in the stage of my life to be really brutally honest so that I can heal. Thank you for this! I really appreciate all the member of the team, even I didn't know them, you and all the guests! Salamat! From The Philippines. ❤❤❤
Don't worry about that. Nobody's wise at 17-20 ))) Even if they're absolutely sure that they are. Wisdom requires experiences. A lot of 'em. Especially the negative ones. The losses and the heartbreaks, moments of hopelessness and overcoming those - that's what makes you wise... or it breaks you... But if it doesn't - it does make you very wise for sure))
Rooting for you and I'll know you'll get there, going through the same❤

Robert Greene is my favorite author and I feel extremely NBLESSED and fortunate I was able to meet him when he was here in Atlanta. This was a PHENOMENAL interview. THANK YOU to you BOTH!!! You made me realize to value the most important things in life.
He mentioned "Wheel of Dharma". Finally I feel someone outside of south asia is able to grasp it as there is no equivalent word in english. Most people just understand what the word encompasses but cannot grasp it. I admire you Sir for mentioning it.
I read it when I was 29yrs old! Now 20yrs later.... reading this book again and this one time I learned the advice Do not "outshine the master" Thank God in the end my ex-boss pushed me further in my career. But at my new job, I'm definately paying more attention. Boss ego's are something else. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this great interview.
I started reading the laws of power couple months ago… now I’ve finished that book, art of seduction, and mastery by Robert Greene. His style is so engaging, it’s fun to read and learned so much history from all his books
I just purchased the entire set of this man's books, he has intrigued me to no end!
Honestly, self-confidence is the most important thing.
What a waste of good money
I was actually gonna say that Steven has this amazing ability to bring out the best of his guests with his questions, and be so intimate in their minds without losing the seriousness and professionalism that you expect in this type of podcast. Great chapter as always and thanks Steven for this wonderful content.
💯
Yes, thank you pal
Don't overthink it
You can't get enough of Robert Greene excellent interview
Glad you enjoyed this one Shaun! Thanks for listening
Saying that it comes from wisdom that you wear a mask to play a role in society, that we are born this way, and that it's okay to be a fuckin fraud is garbage advice. This guy is a clown.
I now have less respect for you, Shaun.

He's just some dude with traditional views that preaches his opinion. Which is not even all that deep. O_o
So many emotions and knowledge through one single interview! I've been watching one of your podcasts per day. And it has been so useful. There is so much food for thought and further research on different subjects! Thank you so much you are partially making my knee surgery feel like a great chance to enhance my brain ❤
This is the best interview I have ever watched. The interviewer is so great. He asked tough questions without any hesitation. It's not that usual interview where there are just normal and boring questions. Robert is my favourite author and you asked him some great questions especially about his personal life. I can sense it was hard for Robert to answer 'em.
I’ve been a Robert Greene fan for decades and read his books every year. He’s been a distant mentor for me during my life. Thank you Robert!
are you CEO now? top of the food chain? have good day :)
That's sad

Are you a seductive king?
@@schnitzel438 He said he reads his books every year, you already know the answer to that...
“You don’t have to abuse the laws of power. I don’t advocate crushing your enemy totally. I hope I don’t have enemies ever that I need to crush, EVER.” ❤❤ Love that!!
I DO have an enemy that I will need to crush, simply because they're hell bent on destroying me. it's been 7 years, and no signs of it ever stopping or getting any better. And when he said that, my first thought was "No, you really DO NOT want to have enemies that you need to crush. Because it means you've caught yourself a Terminator."

@@iqroyussuf5324 Yes, the Bible. A lot of what we’re learning now about vibrational energy, how our minds work, manifestation, and the law of attraction was taught by Christ thousands of years ago. Why settle for copies when the original is accessible?
@@iqroyussuf5324 lol
This was by far probably the BEST interview that I have ever seen! Robert thank you for your knowledge regarding humanity, your outlook, deep thoughts, articulation, wisdom, and for sharing it all. I will start reading”The 48 laws of Power” tonight. Happy Healing💫💫💫
Let’s all show gratitude for the small things in life!❤️
This interview was phenomenal. I purchased , “48 Laws of Power” in 2016 and after reading the titles put it on the shelf because I saw it as a ‘sword’ instead of seeing it as a ‘shield’. I appreciate what he shared about narcissism and how to shift that energy outward. By the end of the interview, I felt an overwhelming feeling of gratitude and am so thankful YT recommended this video. I immediately subscribed.
THIS IS EXACTLY what happened to me...read the titles of the book and decided no thank you
I read them of course, they are the two most powerful books I've read. I realized probably the best way to utilize the principles, which are ageless and universal, is to re-read the most relevant (to me) parts until they're imbedded (takes less effort than you'd think).

I love your recaps. You're the Real MVP 🏅
Thank you for the synopsis. Aloha❤

AI...actually naturally very intelligent!
Honestly , he is amazing. Great speaker and he makes 100% sense. When I first read laws and seduction, I thought it's dirty and manipulative but when I think from perspective how others do it to you- it's a treasure.
Absolutely inspirational. The way Robert sums up and states remembering how lucky each moment is, is humbling. What a guy!
That part that he says that basically when you come from worst to then better opportunities in life having that difficulty let’s you appreciate that current new position, status etc is truly a great gift to have…..
This podcast made me realize so much about current self and the reasons why I am what I am. I deeply regret to have intentionally avoided reading the 48 Laws of Power because of the warnings about it not knowing the real intention behind the book. I feel like I missed a whole lot of opportunities to make my life better by not reading the book earlier in my life. Thank you both for the wonderful discussion shared free for everybody to learn from.
I had the same sentiment about the Art of Seduction. The concept, even the word, can be misconstrued without proper context. Refreshing to hear it from the man himself and plan on picking it up.
@@channel6ixtyyep. the intent at first can be concieved as almost evil, when in reality his intent is based on nothing but past experience.

It’s NEVER too late
When I was young someone introduced me to pick-up during a massive depression. at that time i was soldier and thaught daily about suicide. during my pick-up period i read the books neil straus recommended. and one of the books was 24 laws of seduction and 48 laws of power. honestly i was to young to understand the books. but they opend up my imagination and i had a crazy youth afterwards. im glad now to see the face behind the books and hear the gentle and honest sharing of deep ideas.
Robert you are one of my favourite authors . The amount of work & research you do is mind blowing ! I wish you well and hope you will publish more and more impactful books .
Just sat down to watch this episode. I've a condition that mimics having a stroke over and over again (Hemiplegic Migraine) and it has been SUCH a gift for my productivity. I don't take my ability to write for granted, because 1/2 the time I'm experiencing a 'stroke' and recovery from it. I rest knowing that if I rest well, I'm better faster, and I plan what I'll do when my body works again. I'm very lucky.
Bless you for sharing . I had a brain tumour and stroke last year at the age of 23. I’m still recovering and getting through it but it’s inspiring to see others who have been through similar things that have found a silver lining through the trauma. I just wanted to send some love . Keep going 🖤
@@silvasilva6337 thank you. Keep going too. I hope you recover fully. It's a lot of work, I know 🖤
Best of luck to you
I had a stroke 10 years ago and that changed my life forever. It has become so much of a part of me that I even forget about it but I couldn't help tear up when he started talking about his experience. I connected with this so much. Thank you ❤
Ended up watching the full video in 3 sittings. Just when I was thinking how brilliant this interview had been, Robert himself mentioned it. Congratulations to both of you for such great conversation and thank you for making such unrepeatable moment available to all of us.
I totally agree with Robert. You’re a great interviewer and the quality of your questions with your great ability to listen without interrupting makes your Podcast one of the top Elite podcasts. Thank you!!!
Enjoyed this immensely!! Reading your books now😊

@@indyzaga hi
Amazing quote.
This CD is very calming czcams.com/users/postUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq the first meditation focuses on breathing, the second guides you through the Buddhist metta bhavana--loving kindness to all, and the third is a meditation to be used when walking. him is originally from Scotland, so there is a little accent to his voice, but it is very soothing and not at all distracting. If you are a beginner to meditation, this CD will walk you through all the steps of relaxing and breathing as well as sending out the positive thoughts of love and kindness that will be returned to you. We have several CD's, but this one is a favorite that we choose most often.
enjoying life, disabilities, and compassion.
As someone familiar with Greene's work, this is the most valuable thing i've ever heard him say.
I watch lots of podcasts to improve myself and be a better person than I was yesterday. And I'm so hooked up on podcasts and I'm truly truly grateful. God bless you all 🙏
I am addicted and obsessed with this man’s intelligence….I’ve just read 48 Laws of Power and now reading The Art of Seduction - omg I cannot put this book down. ❤❤❤❤
next will be The Prince ...

I needed this podcast 40 years ago...great interview. A lot of people figured out what was important during the pandemic. Then we were forced back into "normalcy" and we left it behind. Perhaps the next generation will find a good work/life balance.
Left it behind?? It made me open my eyes.
You were not ready then.
I'm sure back in your day they said there was no internet.
Why do we have this word normalcy? I don't like it. Why can't we use the word normality?
@@xyz-pg3zd Me too. I spent my time learning about stocks and investment. I'm no expert, but the time out was wonderful and it allowed me to carve out a career working from home. I have interviews coming up with some major companies and they are going to have to bargain with me big time. It's on my terms and if they're not willing to bend I'm not going to offer my expertise. None of that would have happened without lockdown.
One of the most impactful interviews ever - the rawness in emotions and reflections on life is worth more than gold. I wish you had spent more time on his personal journey than his work which we can all read about in our own time..
This is exactly what Im going through. I have never really learned to act. I believed in honesty and authencity which doesnt mean that I occasionally held back in my conversation to figure out if could trust someone. Now Im allowing myself to actually act. Plus sometimes I have thoughts about whether Im acting like a narc too, I realized whats important is the intention behind it. Im not practicing confidence to stand above other people or put others down. Ive been hurt so much, I never wanted to hurt others. I dont act or say things to other people to purposely hurt them, and used to play myself down so others dont get intimidated or triggered until I realized what I was doing to myself. And that their intimidatoin shouldn't be my problem, that I should surround myself around people that dont feel intimidated by confidence.
"I realized that what's important is the intention behind it". I like that.
I bought the ‘48 laws of power’ back when it was released. It blew my mind… and still does. Robert Greene has an uncanny sense for being able to dissect human behaviour and the psychology that underlies it.
I did too! I thought it was one of the more remarkable books in my collection and someone took it😢 then I bought the rest of them and repurchased 48 laws on audible(which is totally different then the actual print)
🙌🏽 Hope you enjoyed this episode Paul!
@@TheDiaryOfACEO I’ve not finished watching the entire interview…. But have enjoyed it thoroughly thus far. People such as yourself are the reason that old people, like me, have come back to youtube. It is no longer a baron wasteland of nothing but click bait and banal grabs for notoriety. Rather, a forum for which long form conversation and genuine desire to arrive at some kind of understanding seems to be becoming increasingly prevalent. So, Thank you.
I now aspire to becoming noteworthy enough to be a guest. Keep up the amazing work.
@@PaulPredicts❤
I really admire how the interviewer Steven Bartlett allows Greene to talk and listens and in fact Greene acknowledges this towards the end. Fantastic interview. Thank you.

Which books do you recommend reading? I haven't read anything from him yet.
@@shysmama09 each and every!!! I think his books build on each other chronologically, start with 48 laws and continue 😊
@@shysmama09 I recommend the laws of human nature. Valuetainment channel also recommends that book.

Hey bro do you think 50th law is a book worth reading. I have struggled with fear all my life but I feel like the 50th law will be more of an entertainment book rather than a fearlessness manual. I know your comment is 2 months old but please respond
Only tonight had I heard of either of these guys, and tonight I just became a HUGE fan of both of these guys! What an amazing respectful and heartfelt interview.! Thanks to the both of you for allowing me to sit in! This kind of interview actually gives me hope in humanity again. WOW!
I knew of both of them but I’m so happy they got to come together. Double wow!

Robert is always mind blowing. But also Steve thank you so much for exposing your vulnerability in the first half of the interview. It makes everything much more real, meaningful and applicable. Thank you!
This was my favourite interview of yours. Thank you for bringing Robert on, such an incredibly inspiring man. Your wisdom has been a blessing Robert 🙏🏽🧡✨
Almost everyone, including the media, is anticipating a market catastrophe, and as a result, many are turning a blind eye to the opportunities in the market. I began investing in stocks and Defi earlier this year and it is the best choice I've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million from an initial 90k and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news, chances are you’re quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, maximize it.
What opportunities are there in the market and how do I profit from it?
@@RahmaHamed737 You can make a lot of money from the market regardless of whether it strengthens or crashes. The key is to be well positioned
@@BrettGregory299 I will really like to know how this actually work
@@RahmaHamed737 All you need is a good capital and the service of a professional broker, with those your investment will most certainly produce high yields.
@@BrettGregory299 Do you have an idea of any good broker I can start with?
I second Mr. Greene's statement: you're a great interviewer. There were a number of times where you could've gone on a tangent or really challenge what was being said, but you kept your speaking time in moderation and you kept the dialogue focused and at a good pace. It was a pleasure to listen to!
This has been my favorite podcast interview of all time! My mind and spirit have been moved by the exchange and dialogue presented by these 2 humans ❤️
You need to get out more
@@Muzzy0085 you should stay in more.
One of my favourite episodes so far, such a sober view on different aspects of life and people coming from Robert😊 sounds like very genuine man
Wow. Feeling such gratitude to have been able to take part in this conversation as a listener. To all my fellow humans striving to learn and improve, keep going. The journey isn’t easy but it’s so worth it. I pray that we can all be graced with patience, faith and clarity as we partake in this beautiful and sometimes baffling experience we call life on planet earth. God bless

Robert writes about such interesting topics; power, human nature, seduction... I can't imagine his experience with the stroke from the wasp sting. I'm a very aware and grateful person, but his story has given me yet another layer of appreciation for my health and able body. Thank you for sharing 🙏
A great guest with a lot to say and a humble mind. Wonderful. I wish him good progress with his body.
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 experienced two car accidents close to one another leaving me with a head injury among other injuries. I felt like a prisoner in my body and I also thought I would recover within 6 months. This really spoke to me on a personal level ❤️ meditation helped me with me deep depression and anxiety and calmed not only my mind but my whole nervous system.
Thank you for sharing
I've been in three car accidents and 🙏🏻 praying helped me heal the most!

@@stardustgirl2904but how did you pray? I got injuries and not sure how to pray
@@Greg-oe5wj 💜👍🏻🙏🏻 I like to kneel in prayer on the side of my bed, it's a nice quiet place! I started by saying Dear Heavenly Father, that's how I address God, then I talk about my life, and ask God to bless those I love, and talk about my concerns and the direction God would want me to go in. I also thank him for all he's blessed me and my family with! And you can pray whenever you feel you need to, and I ask for his spirit to be with me, that I can be comforted and strong in my life with good choices!
And I finish in the name of Jesus Christ Amen ❗🙏🏻💜🕊️ I hope this is helpful to you!
Praying daily has always helped me to stay focused on what is important in my life! Take care 👍🏻😊🕊️🙏🏻
Used to think of seduction in the negative sense but from now on, I know it’s a powerful tool when well used. What a fascinating talk- thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks
I’m intrigued, may I ask what the negative sense was about, what warhead negatives you found in it?
no, it is a negative thing (by definition and the programming of the word)
@@mikeonthetube79 what’s negative about it?
@@rodenrren2 It's the intention that matters, you could seduce someone for positive purposes just as you could for negative purposes, it's up to you.
@@j-fb4596 exactly, the word is neutral, does not imply negativity at all
Up close & personal with Robert, wow. In-depth interview had me glued to the screen hanging off his every word. Quality interview Stephan, thank you!
Steven I LOVE your way of interviewing. You are calm and sincere and give people the time to be themselves. It's very good to become a part of this program as the viewer and to fell at home. Well done. You are not a show off and yet you have confidence in what you do. 👏It's a treat to listen to you interview your subjects
I never heard of Robert Greene before, and I ran across this interview by accident, but as I kept NOT closing it out, I somehow kept listening... Robert Greene has taught me so much in this ~2 hour interview. This is such a powerful story and interview. Thank you.

I read his book Mastery. It was so good I immediately started reading it again. I was less interested in 48 Laws but his insights are valuable.
His book Power is eye opening. I enjoyed listening to it on audio form.👍
I just listen to this while my phone is being charge ended up watching about half and a hour. It's very interesting how greene is expressing so much emotion, imagine having that kind of confidence and so much self-awareness he has you can be unstoppable in everything you do
This is the best interview I have ever watched - life affirming; life changing. Thank you Steven. Thank you Robert. My deepest gratitude...
I wish you could go out of your way and interview amazing people from different countries. Like my country Ethiopia. There are so many amazing people who I wish the world had a chance to meet ❤
00:00 📚 Robert Greene discusses the qualities of a great seducer, emphasizing the power of understanding the language of seduction.
01:09 🧠 Confidence comes from understanding power dynamics and the realization that your abilities can be taken away, so don't take them for granted.
02:32 🏢 Robert Greene shares his upbringing and how he pursued various jobs to gain life experiences.
06:24 📖 Robert Greene talks about how he stumbled upon the idea for "The 48 Laws of Power" through a chance meeting in Italy and his desperate circumstances.
08:01 📚 "The 48 Laws of Power" gained global success, selling over 2 million copies, and continues to sell well, partly thanks to word-of-mouth and endorsements from figures like Jay-Z and 50 Cent.
10:04 📖 Robert Greene discusses his evolving feelings towards "The 48 Laws of Power" and its impact, acknowledging its dark side but still standing by its content.
11:54 🤔 Robert Greene defines power as an emotional need and the ability to understand and control oneself, emphasizing that power is a feeling more than external control.
15:29 🎭 Robert Greene discusses the importance of keeping up appearances and controlling one's behavior to navigate social dynamics effectively.
21:35 🎭 Robert Greene advises that while we all play roles in life, we should not confuse those roles with our true essence, striking a balance between authenticity and social adaptation.
22:28 🤝 When hiring or forming work relationships, avoid gravitating towards friends solely due to trust. Emotions in friendships can complicate work dynamics. Consider practicality over friendship in the professional realm.
25:16 🤐 Concealing intentions isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. It depends on circumstances. Share your vision with your team to inspire them. In a competitive business world, revealing everything can be counterproductive. Sometimes, creating mystery or deception strategically can be powerful.
30:23 🌗 Confronting your dark side and shadow traits is essential for personal growth. Acknowledge and use your dark side for positive purposes, such as channeling anger into productive causes.
34:27 🤝 Early childhood experiences can influence one's relationship with power. Secure and loving early experiences can lead to healthier power dynamics, but resilience can also emerge from challenging backgrounds.
43:58 💑 A great seducer is outwardly focused, attentive, and listens actively, entering the spirit of the other person. Seduction is not about domination but a mutual courtship ritual, a game where both parties seduce each other.
44:52 💑 The power of seduction lies in making others feel genuinely interested and validated; it involves being absorbed in the other person's world.
46:02 🚫 Anti-seductive qualities include preaching, moralizing, and failing to be generous with your spirit, time, or energy.
47:34 💔 Insecurity is anti-seductive, but vulnerability can be seductive because it signifies openness to the influence of others.
51:19 💖 Great dating advice includes putting effort into romance, avoiding the misconception that love should come easy, and understanding that seduction requires patience, skill, and genuine gestures.
55:42 🕺 Real confidence is built through actual achievements and skills, not through faking it or bravado.
57:23 👥 Developing social skills and reading body language is crucial for seduction, as genuine body language communicates more than words.
58:03 💼 Confidence also comes from creating things, achieving goals, and demonstrating competence in various aspects of life.
01:06:06 😃 Pay attention to genuine smiles, as they light up the entire face, and distinguish them from fake smiles which appear tight and insincere.
01:06:46 🗣 Voice tone and speed reveal a lot about a person's confidence, with nervousness often reflected in fast speech and voice tremors.
01:07:42 🕵♂ Body language reveals leadership qualities, like leaning forward in a business meeting or having engaged feet during a conversation.
01:08:49 🧠 Milton Erickson, a polio survivor, became a master at reading body language, emphasizing the power of this skill.
01:14:20 🌟 Mastery comes from dedicating significant time and effort to develop a skill, creating a vast neural landscape in the brain.
01:15:45 💡 Discovering your life's task is more important than finding a passion, and it's about feeling a deep connection to a specific field.
01:21:45 🤝 When choosing an apprenticeship job, prioritize learning opportunities over a higher paycheck.
01:24:04 🧩 Deep observation involves absorbing the codes, conventions, and skills of your field by being outwardly focused.
01:25:12 🤲 Skills acquisition in an apprenticeship phase is best achieved through hands-on learning, following the brain's natural inclination to learn by doing.
01:28:40 ⚡ Dealing with life-changing events like a stroke can lead to the need for new life skills and adaptations, even later in life.
01:28:54 😌 Robert Greene discusses the challenges of adjusting to life after a stroke, emphasizing the need for patience and acceptance.

01:48:26 😄 Robert Greene recalls the happiest moment of his life, which came when he was given the opportunity to write the "48 Laws of Power," and how he continues to appreciate it.
01:51:20 🌑 Robert Greene discusses the importance of confronting the darkness within human nature objectively, acknowledging its existence.
01:51:35 🙏 Stephen Bartlett expresses gratitude to Robert Greene for his vulnerability, openness, and the lessons on perception, happiness, and self-awareness from their conversation.
01:52:01 🎙 Robert Greene compliments Stephen Bartlett as an exceptional interviewer and listener, acknowledging the quality of their conversation.
learn NLP neurolinguistic programming this is how you become a great persuader or smooth operator or "seducer" its very similar to sales
You have to be in the right state of mind and feelings first.
You almost always seduce exactly a woman close to your level in life no more no less economically, emotionally and so on.
You do have to get outside your house though and open your mouth first and smile.
Online dating is a waste of time in my opinion. Too much fakeness and try hard to impress which reeks of insecurity and lack of authenticity or honesty.
Words have power and stories can really set you apart from the rest of your quote and quote "competition" Richard Bandler and Ross Jeffries call them Verbal Patterns but they are really about hypnotic or trance like stories that elicit exactly the kind of feelings and emotions that relate to love and passion and taking action.
That's what Casanovas of the old and Don Juans did more or less naturally. We all learn it some way or the other most however the wrong way by reinforcing stupid romantic patterns seen on tv or movies which hardly if ever work IRL
You learn it IRL after you read a few books or see a few courses on NLP
it's all about practice and tone and voice, speed and some hand or body gestures
Thank you so much!

Thanks brow
thanks can you do the rest of the video too?
Robert Green didn't even notice Nadis body language when he was talking about how he would sudduce her. She was off put and leaned away from the screen. The dude is a scammer
Or he did notice it but played it like he didn't. Calling out off putting body language might not help his grift perception
Ty❤
Such a great interview! And yes, what a great compliment at the very end of your interviewing skills. Every interview I watch with you, I always think what a great interviewer you are! Thanks for such great content on your podcast! Brilliant always!
I learned so much from Robert Greene, and I'm proud to say that I have almost every single of his books.
There are no words in the English vocabulary that could explain how much admiration and love I have for this man. Good lord. I wish him only the best. ❤
my father suffered a stroke back in 2014 I've shared this video with him, this was a really great episode love hearing Robert's wisdom
He epitomizes wisdom, gratitude & grace🙏
I read his book 48 Laws in high school back then I didn’t really get it because I had no clue about life now in my mid 30s I carry this book like a bible… I actually just purchased the box set with all of his titles I too am an inspiring writer and it’s true u had to work different jobs and experience a bunch of crap and hang ups just to have something to write about. Very inspirational figure here glad we can give this man his flowers well deserved much respect!!!
You're broken.
@@oliverjohnson7606 everyone who trying to do and be more should be appreciated.
What a joke. You want to be a writer and can't even put a period at the end of a sentence. Did you actually graduate from high school? Most learn basic grammar in 1st grade.
@@Mari-lv1rd unless they're taking advice from goofies like Greene. Also, Crystal... You can't spell. You aren't an "inspiring" writer. You meant "aspiring," but that's a moot point because you obviously don't have enough valuable or interesting shit to say to fill a book. Keep your day job.
@@oliverjohnson7606 Please, sir. Can I have some more?
Out of every person on social media, it's the most sincere thank you at the start. Love watching your really grounded and 😊great listener
He is brilliant. Absolutely love all the interviews you do. Thank you for making a difference in my life.
Wow...Steve your guests are getting bigger and bigger it's crazy, I absolutely love Robert Green his one of my favourites. When he told his story I just wanted to cry my eyes out, what a mentally strong human being. This is in my top 5, what a great episode.🙏🏾
The beginning where he teared up about losing half his mobility and said “don’t take it for granted” really hit me because I was incapacitated for six months due to infection from a tattoo. I couldn’t walk, couldn’t bathe, I could barely move without pain and for a moment I didn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. I felt like I was stuck. So I imagined myself walking and going to the forest and eventually I began healing. Literally, be grateful for all your basic functions!
I’m sure he would tear up more if he lost some of his millions
This is one of the most important pieces of content on CZcams. Thank you so much for this information.
35:00-38:00 helped me and allowed me to finally understand myself and also develop. I've never understood this before. I really get it now. This also helped me to understand other important people in my life and now allows me to communicate with them better and be much less offended. This honestly helped me understand so much. I can't believe it. It's the most life changing thing for me personally I've ever encountered at this point being 40. I do wish I found this earlier in life. None the less I'm incredibly grateful. I never write comments. Thank you Mr. Green. I just stepped through to another dimension in my world. I love you Sir.
Steven, you are a powerful interviewer, you ask the exact questions that are half formed in my mind as I listen, and others I never thought to ask. Every interview is bursting with value. Thank you so much for offering this to the world!
His technique, active listening, and questions are absolutely perfect!
