  • Arthur Schopenhauer was a German philosopher. He is known for his 1818 work The World as Will and Representation, which characterizes the phenomenal world as the manifestation of a blind and irrational noumenal will.
    Schopenhauer's book "The Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims" had a huge impact on my life. Get your copy here: amzn.to/3AvVwg4
    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.

    Man, You have given me what you mean by Realism. Arthur was teacher to Neitszche and his 'The World as Will and Representation' is what you are saying he was: he saw through so many subjects but he was at his best when he tackled human nature. How can I conceal it Robert, but I love you for introducing me again to this Man. He wasn't happy, yes, but that was not their goal, not like a hippy goal. The world is not as happy as it seems and Schopenhauer was right. I have read those who are clinically depressed are unbelievably much more realist about the world than most of us 'Normal', it is called depressive realism but since Arthur was characterized as 'Pessimist', I think we optimists can learn much more from him than any other philosopher. Modern world has no one such philosopher as original.

    So cool that my favorite contemporary author refers back to one of my all-time favorite books, The Wisdom of Life. I've been reading Schopenhauer for years now and he is such a great writer. Recommend that y'all listen to the Audible version of Counsels and Maxims/The Wisdom of Life. The narrator does an exceptional job of sounding as if Schopenhauer would, albeit with a British accent - stern but jovial, insightful yet curious, and 100% realist all the way through. Thanks Robert. P.S. You're right, World as Will and Representation is tough to finish lol...

    Mr. Greene, I am so glad you introduced me to this philosopher and for your work as a whole. I found his work on woman fascinating. I have been asking all my life why I don’t understand women even though I am one, to only find out they don’t want loyalty and think of my words as a dissimulation. I’ve even tested it and found out than when I am speaking the truth it’s always accepted as if I am pretending. As I read my lines I know I sound like a teenage girl, but as someone who was always in men dominated environments and raised with the absence of my mother I thought women are so different and always dreamed of a woman friend. Now at least I know part of the truth that lies behind the female nature and feel at peace no longer asking myself what I am doing wrong.
    Thank you for your hard work 🙏 ❤

    Fantastic video My five-year relationship ended a month ago. The decision to part ways with the love of my life is something that truly consumes me. Though it's all in vain, I've tried everything to get him back, and I can't fathom my life with anyone else. Even though I've made every effort to quit thinking about him, I can't help but miss him and can't stop thinking about him. Why I am stating this here is beyond me.

      It's hard to say goodbye to someone you love; I experienced this when my 12-year relationship ended. However, I couldn't just let him go; instead, I tried everything to win him back. Eventually, I turned to a spiritual counsellor for assistance, and he was able to help me win him back.

    Born in 94. I had a chance to see Lawrence of Arabia in theaters. Heard Lawrence quote Schopenhauer. I appreciated that. I thought I was crazy for entertaining and appreciating certain thoughts of Schopenhauer It’s not everyday you’ll hear schoepenhauer unless you go looking for him☺️.
    Also Schopenhauer’s portrait appears in the recent Pinocchio movie. His portrait sits on Jimminy crickets mantle. I thought that was hilarious to see in a kids movie. Even tho it was directed and written by the Pans Labyrinth Guillermo Del Toro>>

    All of my life I struggled with this concept. I believed people were honest, basically good, Christian, moral and decent. That is the different masks they present to the world to deceive others and themselves. I live my simple life, and realize that in the end everyone dies and that is the only certainty in life. Life is all change and everyone finally passes ~ People are basically hypocrites so try to avoid the nasty ones. And there are plenty.

    Arthur Schopenhauer was also praised "Upanishads" contains Vedic Indian Philosophy(which never became popular all over the world like western philosophies). He wrote that "In the whole world there is no study so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Upanishads". He praised the wisdom of Indian minds and the philosophies of the Vedas and the Upanishads in his main work, The World as Will and Representation (1819), as well as in his Parerga and Paralipomena (1851). I hope Robert Greene you will discover it in your life journey.

    Knowing that humans can be 'dastardly' allows you to find the ones trying their best to at least be fair. You'll enjoy socializing more & avoid being the target of dark people. It's fake morality to 'choose' to see the only the good...or to cling only to 'goodness' when a little madness will bring justice.
    Thanks so much for teaching this to the masses!

    I think it's interesting that deep cynical and skeptical thinking is always lauded as being 'rational' and 'realist' instead of just being a subjective anti-thesis of optimism and positivity. So the darker and more pessimistic you get the more intellectual and realistic you are? non-sequitur. It's a lot like saying the more depressed you get, and the more you justify it, the more rational you are. Seriously flawed outlook.

    There's a dichotomy between what you explain two of your books and the message of Schopenhauer.
    You try to convince people to be part of the group but being alert of people's manipulation, so they can outsmart them.
