Robert Changed my life in so many ways, just through his books ! Guy literally got me out the hood lmao
mee too brother i can't thank him enough
Well done,brothers!
Not many humans could do that. As in what Robert did for you and what you did for yourself. Congrats brotha
Expound
I agree. I've read all of his books 📚. Def life changing
I read all of Roberts books at 19 years old and they’ve helped me gain clarity being young and black.
Wise young man, wise!
Now, act.
Same with me bro this guy is a legend 🙌
,
Wow.I wish.i would have read them back them, would have saved me years of time and frustration
I personally think you should have waited a bit (unless you had the right vacuum for it). You’ll comprehend what I just said 20years from now. Take it easy brother!
Needs his own netflix show. I could binge watch everything he says.
Same
We are in the process of making one based off on his books, you can expect him in cameos

I stopped everything to hear the master speak 😁. I love Robert
💯💯💯
Meee too
Yasss!
Robert Greene saying "bitched-slapped by the reality" has got to be one of my favorite moments of CZcams of all time!! 44:05
Lol caught me off guard but it was definitely a great moment
Yeah!
OG got some hood in him
Bitch Slapped By The Reality Has Me ROFLMAO 😃
LMFAOOOOO AYOOOOOOOOOOO 😂😂
I’ve read all your books Robert, multiple times along with many other philosophers. Not only do you illustrate the flaws and nature of humanity but you offer your own flaws as well.
You have solidified your place among Sun tzu, Carl Jung, Socrates, and Machiavelli. I will make sure of that. I’m sure many others are in agreement.
Thank you.
M.S. S for sure.. he gave his life for this. One of the greatest
He is life changimg for me. I have only one complaint, that annoying red text in the margins of the book.
yes, 100 percent agreed.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👊😁

I love it. It's something uniquely his
Thank You Robert, this reminded me to post this quote of yours:
“You like to imagine yourself in control of your fate, consciously planning the course of your life as best you can. But you are largely unaware of how deeply your emotions dominate you. They make you veer toward ideas that soothe your ego. They make you look for evidence that confirms what you already want to believe. They make you see what you want to see, depending on your mood, and this disconnect from reality is the source of the bad decisions and negative patterns that haunt your life. Rationality is the ability to counteract these emotional effects, to think instead of react, to open your mind to what is really happening, as opposed to what you are feeling. It does not come naturally; it is a power we must cultivate, but in doing so we realize our greatest potential.”
― Robert Greene, The Laws of Human Nature
Synchronicity .
It's interesting how much this overlaps with the Eastern concept of "sati" or what we often refer to as "mindfulness". The direct consequence of constantly being bombarded with stimulation is that it pushes us further and further away from our non-reactive (or, as Robert refers to it, rational) mind. We are so so hooked on stimulation from our phones and TV's, we're losing the ability to step outside ourselves and realize that we are are not our emotions, we are just the vessel that perceives them. This quote by Aldous Huxley (Paraphrasing Blaise Pascal) comes to mind "The sum of evil, Pascal remarked, would be much diminished if men could only learn to sit quietly in their rooms." Though I don't think we're necessarily doomed, as Robert says, this is a power that must be cultivated, and I believe anyone can achieve it through mindfulness meditation.
I have to say that many good and true things in books - all already have in Buddhism.
So does he have videos on how to do this? How to see what’s really happening vs what our emotions are? I’m going through a spot in my life where I absolutely need this. I am aware that I am confused by what is going on. Bc my feelings are making me feel one way and believe the reality I want, but I know it’s not the real reality. But I also don’t know what is…….
@@Noneya342 The key thing to understand for me is that this life is to understand emotions and discipline them to work for yourself. Mindfulness, meditation and so forth help - I also ended up teaching these as find Robert Greenes books very helpful in motivating me to live my life with more purpose. One of the meditations that can help is going into a deep meditative mode and confronting the fears, darkness within. This is called the Dark Meditation - its possible there are some youtubes on this.
I love this guy. His words calm me. They give me reason and logic to navigate through life.
This man’s books saved my mind in prison! Thank u sir!
Thought they where banned in prison lol
It all depends state to state but only a couple are banned across the board : art of war and 48 laws; but there’s still copies all through lol
@@thinktank8972 just like anything else in prison; if u have $ u can get anything
The humility of this man...'sorry it was so long'.....superb talk, thank you!
BEST PHILOSPHER of 21st century. Huge respect for you robert, you're changing lives and yes, I LEARNED A LOT today!
Well, what did you learn?
Stephan Molyneux best philosopher . today
@@iTzic21 My Conclusion:
I like watching kinky porn too much to care what Robert says-!!!
You're looking stronger Robert!
Robert always seems like he is talking to us because he cares, thats what makes him so special, he cares to make the world a better place. One day I hope to meet you and thank you in person.
All the way from Kenya, Africa.
🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
I honestly appreciate you. Your work has altered my train of thought on so many levels.
Is there Kenya, Europe?
Now, more than ever, we need that new book Robert. No doubt it'll be sublime.
@Augustine Twumasi he reads an average of 350 books just to write one book. That's why his books are so dang good... Along with his tendancy toward realism.. And ability to read and be Somewhat open to perspectives that oppose his =)
Yes! Why not do something more spontainous and less scientific, like fiction?
I'm so glad I found your books, especially the laws of human nature. I picked up the book in hopes that I'll understand people more but I ended up understanding myself. I'm so grateful, thank you ❤️
This is solid gold. Robert is a tremendous, rational resource; and a treasure.
Your praise has a rational basis
I discovered Robert Greene when I was 21 or 22. It was one of the best things that's ever happened to me. Thanks for putting in the work and for these knowledge you share with us in your books 🙏
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

Idiot. you learn real life real things by exerience it.........going through the pain by testing it....not sitting at your desk.....who told you this >>>> you are not ready at al scumb....keyboard warrior ...go volunteer and build projects solve problems and help people and children..
I am very happy to see Robert looking healthy and wise in his thoughts. :) Best wishes to you and all who see this.
Your wisdom changed my life! Sending love and light from Malaysia 🇲🇾
You are right in saying the problem is that we do not/cannot see the evidence ourselves, the evidence is presented to us by individuals with their own interests and agendas.
At least this pandemic gave us Robert's videos on youtube hehheeh.
The only good thing happened in 2020, at least in my miserable life
@@satyamprakash7030me too and still studying his work. Now I‘m looking to find the niche where I can find my lifetaks. Greetings from Germany
Law 38: Think as you like, but behave like others.
Brilliant way to trigger the ‘irrational’ during the end, but for such an esteemed sage of power and human nature, in light of the growing evidence that opposes a lot of your points, this is expert Gaslighting at it’s worst.
Hello, l couldnt get your point, if possible..
Please elaborate it a little bit for me.
Yes, I could not understand either. Please elaborate.
He has no evidence to refute his points. The funny thing is that his argument is almost exactly what Robert predicted would happen.
I love this man. Would love to spend time with him, him talking about books ❤️
Such a wonderful spirit to be sharing the planet with. Just found you Mr. Greene whilst journeying down the rabbit hole called CZcams. Just when I sooooo needed your messages, you appeared. Just bought 4 of your books today and looking forward to them with all my heart. Sending many regards of gratitude to you. Thank you. 🙏
Keep 'em coming RG. We'd love to see more content from you! I love the idea of looking at reality from the perspective of concentric circles - with the first circle representing you and your world (conscious/unconscious divide), and the wider circles going outside of you. It's a great way of understanding not only your limits of knowledge, but in which circle you're struggling with any given issue. For example, if you are struggling with your spouse, that would be the second circle. You can then act appropriately (i.e. rationally) according to what limits of knowledge you experience. You can use empathy (Law 2). Great video!
My idol. Robert Greene is professor of professors, He will go down in history, generations will be studying his Books. Long live the King
For anyone looking for a practical action item to implement this all, start a mindfulness meditation practice of 60 min/day. I’ve been doing this for 13 months now, and this develops emotional intelligence like no other. All of these lessons Robert talks about becomes intuitive so instead of just listening to theory, you learn it by just observing your mind from a distance. Once you become ever more aware of your subtle emotions/thoughts, you can understand others now. Ever get blacked out drunk and wake up the next day thinking “why the fuck was I thinking/doing that?!” This starts happening multiple times per day when you become more aware of your internal experience
Yes, i have started doing this, it is amazing. 60 minutes though? Whoa. I do 25 minutes and that seems a long time
you're right about theory versus practice, you can watch a million videos like this but not *get it* until you actually meditate
Could you elaborate on your mediative practice.. specifically how you go about it. Thanks!
Robert, since you said you read the comments, I just want to say how thankful I am for your books, your philosophy has truly helped me. Everytime I am upset, I return to the laws of human nature, and it truly calms me down. Thank you so much for your wisdom! I am looking forward to your next book! One of my dreams is to meet you someday and have a chat with you!
I also wanted to say I respect you greatly Robert Greene. Thank you for sharing your way of thinking with us. It’s enlightening and priceless
This is the best thing on the Internet right now.
I'm really quite astounded that Robert hasn't questioned and scrutinised the information around coronavirus more thoroughly.
True. Very easy to challenge covid with logic
@@conlawmeateater8792 I am not aware, could you explain how COVID can be scrutinized?
I love seeing your left hand grow stronger and stronger; the unwavering in your voice filled with life and clarity. You show patience through the hurdles of life.
Yep, inspired to act wisely without fear!
Continue to go forth if even if you never read this; we know you feel us by vibrations and love!!!
Your words clarify our daily conundrums and provide tools to REALLY understand their orgins and our ability to alter our analysis, actions and outcomes. Thank you for sharing your humble brilliance with the world!💗🙏
Thanks for your books. One chapter of Laws of human nature and a few CZcams videos of yours changed my life. It has got me out of the mess I lived in from last 29 years (I am 29 year old). Your work has guided me to change my habits as well as choose a good career. I know I am late but I am pretty sure the guidance I needed is in your books.
I have noticed something great in your TED talk. You talk about work. Because of that I could see that the only way to move forward is through work. You don't get to know where you are lacking until you start working on something. When I decided I will develop a skill and get a job in that I got to know that it is my family that is sabotaging my growth from very childhood. Some of that might be conscious some may be unconscious . That doesn't matter. All that matter is I needed to learn a way to get out of the drama that stopped me from living a life. So I figured out may be I am too emotional and my emotions are not in my control. Thus started internet search and one after the other resources came to me. One day your videos appeared and that is what I exactly needed. I have been fortunate to find your incredible knowledge. But that fortune came to me with a decision to work.
Thanks a lot. May Athena bless you with more and more rationality.
Robert is a walking genius. I absolutely love all his books 📚👍🏼
Don’t all geniuses walk though? 😜
@@Jnealt12 I learn something new everyday lol 😉
@@Jnealt12 Stephen hawkings?
Robert I’m a huge fan and will read/listen to you and your books over and over again. Please continue to make videos, you are beloved and a true voice of reason! Thank you for all that you do, you inspire us all! Also, it may benefit your left arm to Armwrestle, I feel it may speed up your recovery. Wishing you all the best!
Roberts left hand in minutes 0:46 through 0:48 made me smile. I havent seen him speak in a while. Its good to see he is a student of his writing as well. The master is living through a chapter of one his character studies from human nature. Wishing you strenght in your battles Robert.
Thank you for helping me understand, learn, and most importantly, let go of a horrible mean girl bullying situation that happened to me. So excited to read all of your books as well as listen to you. You are amazing!!!
I can’t thank you enough for your work and this masterclass.
You are amazing person that inspired my life and everytime I feel that I’m loosing grasp of my life, usually your books and videos put me back on track.
I didnt had a father present, but people like you and jordan person usually fullfil this whole.
Hard words sometime, difficult to keep listening and painful. But usually makes me free and more comfortable with my mortality.
Thanks
Thank you so much Robert Greene for your wisdom. Love from South Africa.
You're a legend Robert! I've been reading your work for years. Thank you for all that you've done and continue to do.
Robert Green reminds me of my father. I wish one day I could meet him. My father was very fond of history and was as smart as him
Hi Ginger 👋 I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹🌹🌹
Robert Green is from another Galaxy , so much knowledge
Thank you for your work, huge shift in my life, and the amount of clarity and authenticity is something I strive for. So once again Thank you Robert Greene, and I hope to talk with you soon
You're speaking to me man, and everything that I'm going through. Even the examples you used to stress your points❤️❤️🙏🔥
My all time favorite author has CZcams channel.. WHAT? The 48 laws of power changed how I see the world. Talk about a revelation. Smh
Love your mind & work Robert, blessed to be alive in the same era as a living legend like yourself!
Keep making these videos!🙏🏾
Thank you Robert for dissecting the turmoil of today profoundly through human nature, neurology and with historical in-depth analysis. That historical understanding of ourselves as a society and as humans is so wiped out for most of us, which could keep us better grounded in reality and rationality. It could be part of the antidote for demagogues. Thank you for presenting personal solutions too. I hope your recovery is going forward and that you remember to keep an open mind spirit for it. Remember the Milton Erickson's story.
A living Legend! I feel so blessed to live in the same era as Robert Greene!
Brilliant, Robert. Thank you for this analysis we desperately need today.
Whenever I'm caught up in emotions and scenarios where I don't know what to do, I call on (read books by, listen to podcasts of, watch) Robert Greene.
Robert, not only do we share the same name but mindset, too. Thanks a lot for a wonderful recapitulation of the most important insights you have collected in this life. It’s a great honor to listen to a savant like you who’s also kind and thoughtful enough to share his wisdom. May God bless you!
This Channel is going to BLOW UP! People are catching on... "Good Product Sells itself" Robert Greene is the perfect example to what I should mentioned. Keep them coming Robert, I am a fan of all your work and read all your books except for 31 strategies of war which I hope to read one day whenever I get the time to. Out of all the books I read I would like to say that 48 laws and Human Nature were my favorites. Looking forward to Sublime! You are such a MASTER at RATIONAL THINKING! Love your work! We are at a time with a Lunatic President in Power about to burn the whole world to the ground, people need to think RATIONALLY more then ever right now!
Another book that provides rational mental models is 'seeking wisdom: from Darwin to Munger'.
It is impressive how focused on the issue and in the meantime how mindly widespread He is
Really like the second to last advice. Social media really does play alot with our emotions. Without our control. Only control we have is getting On social media.
I love your latest book robert, and recommended it to my friends. Your depth of insights on human dark side is unparalleled in our times, the way you assimilate a variety of subjects, history, neuroscience, biology, psychology, etc and bring us the bigger picture is simply fascinating.
I'm so glad I found this channel, Robert. Your books have helped me a great deal. I really enjoyed your thoughts on the insanity of 2020. As I have done with your books, I will take your advice, and see how it goes. Thanks for posting!
Thank you Robert, this message is very timely.
i do enjoy Robert really good to see you active again, im just waiting on a op to remove a tumour on my liver in an hour, man last year i had all the ups & down of normal life, now i have pancreatic C and what id give for the old problems , its all a gift life ,time & health being the most valuable, try not to waste a second of it, the key to most is the noise we create between our ears , meditate will be such a help thanks Robert
This was fantastic and is, arguably, required listening for the population at large. Thank you.
This is becoming so true right now crazy how accurate this video is
Great to see you posting!!!!!! Awesome vid -Owen
Owen!! this guy has the best channel
Nothing like seeing one of my favorite motivational speakers giving props to one of my favorite authors. Let's me know I'm in the right place.

Hi I found this comment searching #PUA PandemicUnemploymentAssistance
and this comment showed in the google search results www.google.com/search?q=pua&oq=pua these are interesting observations here
David Ciccone That is crazy! You definitely stumbled across a valuable video and thread 👍
I have to be honest, I don’t understand why anyone apologizes for the length of their videos. I enjoy every minute of the message.
The words cannot describe how thankful and blissful i am for all your books sir. They are powerful weapons, my personal bible, and Ariadne's thread that helps me throughout my life. These videos are probably the best thing that Covid brought, so please keep posting. We all wish you strong health, because this crazy, irrational world needs you. Now more than ever.
Thank you one more time master Robert.
We could all use a "bitch-slap" from reality once in a while.
I laughed out loud when he said that 😂 Love this man
Hahaha
Gingerbread Girl lmao same here. I loved it.
@@ninjabreadgirl I need some ginger bread in my life, unfortunately the baker closed down 😂
I recommend reading Working Minds, by Beth Cradall that explains how we make decisions through intuition and prior experience. It relates to Robert Greene's analogy of "twisting a drill into the wood", where we gain more knowledge and understanding with each attempt.
Can you share the main benefit from this book that you took away? Thanks
Thank you so much for these videos. The world need you Robert Greene. Please stay healthy. And I personally don’t mind your videos being one hour long. Can’t wait for the next one.
That was just excellent! Thank you for being a sane voice in an insane time!!
Who needs church when you have Robert Greene
Who still goes to church ?

It was so lit
Greatest of all time G.O.A.T
Robert you'll have multiple 100,000x subscribers very soon. Long time reader and fan. These CZcams videos are needed now more than ever. Thank you for devoting your life's work to this.
Your books helped me understand my decade-long anxiety and depression and then overcome it within a matter of weeks. I was holding out of them out of dogmatism which earlier, I was convinced I wasn't. Thank you! I cannot express how much I'm in awe with your knowledge and how much I associate you with calmness and awareness! Your work is GOLD and it's going to keep so many people in touch with their better self for decades to come.

Thank you so much Mr Robert Greene for all your teaching, your books they changed my life.
Robert you are so loved and respected. We are most grateful for your insights and courage to share profound ideas that are swept, at times, under a mental or emotional rug. So glad to see your channel and also your physical progress. You are a gift and you help many. 🙏🏼

Your brilliant mind is a gift for the world! I'll strive to become rational although it's really hard. Whenever I see your new video, I'm excited to gain new insight. Thank you, Robert. Please keep it coming!
Thank you Robert for taking the time to make these videos. I await your next offering with baited breath! The world needs your wisdom now more than ever. Cheers from Australia xoxo
Love your work 💕💕💕 I have all of your books and read them over and over! Blessings to you and thank you for your awesome body of work ✨
Robert Greene you the best my G‼️
My favorite book is the 48 Laws of power, I've read that book many times
You and your book were the thing I needed in my life. Thank you so much for your work.
So grateful to you and all your talks, you are so appreciated
I absolutely love the methaphor of the horse rider. After being insecure basically my entire life I am finally being able to understand my feelings and cope with them in a rational way. I just started reading The Laws Of Human Nature and after it I will follow with more of your work!
The mentor of all mentors
I have huge respect for you Robert. Thanks for sharing your wisdom!
When you read that book and watch his videos on YT, everything is just tied together. I cant help but just thank this man😊
After every text or book from Robert feel an accurate sense of awareness of things that I did not know
Nursing for 40 yrs we had new virus every year this has happened since 1918 and built anti bodies to that
We do not give vaccines either especially the elderly or even vulnerable people of all ages.We have weaknesses.
Just really incredible . Robert communicates in such a deep level it is irreversible in aspects …. it touches your soul
This is awesome, I love how you broke down our emotional patterns into a scientific structure. This is the most helpful content I could consume on CZcams to help me understand myself better. Thank you!
I love this! My current job is getting me so miserable since the head chef doesn't know how to take the time and talk to his crew and always blames everyone else for everything 😟 He creates these lavish new menus every couple weeks and then loses his shit at the cooks for not knowing how the plating is the first night a new menu is rolled and he hasn't even shown anybody how it's plated.......... it's frustrating... lol.. I already am looking for another gig to hold me closee until this covid thing blows over and I feel safe opening my own takeout joint .. I thought about calling a meeting and telling the poor chef that his whole crew thinks he sucks at communicating but I think he'll go mad so I'm gonna leave llol.
Yeah sounds like he is a good cook but bad boss, to be a good leader is a whole different talent
Man ya making me hungry now
Best author😁😆😇
Fantastic, Robert! Love your unique perspective; it is incredibly needed at this time.
Dude I have bought all your books. And also lost most of them because of lending them to others... and bought a few of them again including your last one. Those books have had a great impact on my life. Thank you for sharing your knowledge for those who need it.
