Robert Greene ON: The Laws of Mastery, Power and Human Nature & Harnessing Your Dark Side For Good
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 тра 2024
- Robert Greene sits down with Jay Shetty to talk about our inner power. How we react to situations, the emotions we pour in, and the amount of control we have over our reactions defines how much power we have over ourselves. When you’re out of control and not in tune with your reality, you become toxic and this toxicity feeds your greed which eventually destroys that raw power within you.
Robert 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, and Mastery. In his book, The Laws of Human Nature, he turns to the most important subject of all - understanding people’s drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves.

Miss Prajawalika Pradhan, I prey from Jesus, you should also live longer for writing this kind of blessings for Robert Green like you write here. No one like Miss Prajawalika Pradhan!!!
Madam, one thing I want to tell you that "Life should be bigger than longer. And Robert Green do it perfectly. " Please forgive me, if it hurts you.
*"The person who wins, is the person who wants it the most."*
This changed my life.
I unsubscribed you
Don’t see below this
I never unsubscribed you
This thought pattern will make you very unhappy.
Absolute mumbo jumbo nonsense. You can do things to put yourself in a position to do better to win, but want isn't going to get it done.
@@jamesharris184 If you don't really want it, it's not really a win 😀
Hum I've been at close range to competitive people and toxic people and they think about everything in terms of 'winning', in those cases the best win is to be rid of them. As long as the win you want is on your own terms, to your own goals, that realy is winning. Winning does not mean achieveing a goal set up bu others to their benefit.
There is no man more powerful than a humble genius, like Robert Greene. His work will inspire lives forever around the world.
True! So simple yet man is he powerful.
❤️
Beyond impressive how he can fluidly string one intellectual premise together with another. He is so enlightening. And this is after a stroke. Just doesn't seem to have slowed him down. He's amazing.

Robert Greene interviews are gold. I am Glad to be alive in an era where he's alive to witness great interviews and sparkles of gems like this. I love all of Robert greene interviews. I learn so much from the dialogue
Is it just me or is every interview with Robert Greene so refreshing? It's like even after watching it, it's like I am watching him speak for the first time.
Well said.
I became a writer at age 61 in Bogotá, Colombia. It is my way to overcome my reality as Venezuelan Immigrant. It is my way to protest elegantly and reach the World 🌎
Bravo Antonio 🙌🏽
We came here to talk about Robert writings not you and your writing sir
@@rayc5916 why so rude?
Hey YOU, incredible person reading this...The truth is you are confident and good enough already with who you are, where you are at and what you have right now to have the success you want in life.

Robert green’s humbleness is so infectious, I can listen to him for hours.
*humility
48laws of Power is a a must for any serious minded person.
Incredible interview, incredible interviewer! I could listen to Greene all day long.
I can listen to this interview as a therapy session every day! I sincerely hope to see you some day Robert Greene. Thank you
I hope you do
Therapy!
Thank god Robert is still here allowing us to experience his gift..
I just love the way Robert Greene present himself very humble man❤.
BE WEIRD!!!!!!! Love this. I often question my own weirdness but I am now embracing it!!!
I was introduced to Robert Greene’s books by my oldest brother.. He let me have his 48 Laws of Power when they transferred him to another prison, he wasn’t going to be able to take his belongings so he sent me that book and a few others. Glad he sent it to me, the book is amazing. I’m still reading it, and then I bought the Laws of Human Nature. Looking forward to collect all his books. 🙏🏼
thats not very 48 laws of power going to prison
It sounds like he started reading it once already in prison - seems like the perfect place to start - you are at rock bottom in a prison that likely has factions, he would have read it to survive - hopefully he is out now and using the knowledge to succeed and avoid returning to prison
To the *incredible person* that's seeing this, I wish you all the best in life❤ don't over blame yourself, accept things and go forward. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn the skills needed and get after it, all the keys to a happy life is in your hands. Keep pushing.
Robert Greene is looking good.
Kind of a naughty looking Bill Gates
I am having goosebumps on how intelligent this man is! Thank you for sharing your wisdom to us. You are indescribable Mr Robert Green. Thank you for changing how we view the world! I hope you live a long life 🤍
Him wearing the same shirt that they cut off him during the stroke …so meaningful 👏
Robert is an honest person like the way he discussed about his impatience & struggles . Need huge courage to share so .
Robert is a genius of the century. Love every talk and his book. Wishing a long health life and more books ❤
At a certain time in my life I experienced celebrity and success, 100 employees in the company that my dad owned cheered for me, loved me and came back to me to solve their issues, I got elevated from reality and rivaled my boss's who's been hired by my dad and built the company, I ate shit. I can totally relate to what Robert is saying about the danger of success.
I love that example of Ghabdi and MLK.. Robert Greene is way ahead of his time. May till he is gone and generations later, people will fully grasp and appreciate his works
He is one of my favorite authors and I can totally relate to his journey of self discovery. Thank you Jay for interviewing him.
How someone could be this humble.... only respect we love you Robert Greene
Wow,thank you for being proud to represent our beautiful Golden State in such turmoilic political outcasting times for our home state.😊🙏🏻👍🏻🌈🌎⛲️🌹Thank you for your love of people to share the wealth of our minds’ capabilities.🫡❤️🌟✨🌎⛲️(Crying with you,Sir Greene).🌹
1:03:47 I had a boss like this for 10 years, i quit 8 months ago. I’m still unemployed but my health has significantly improved!!!! I don’t regret it. Thanks for this video. It made me cry lol
Very, very good episode! What a beautiful human being this author is. The part about mortality was brilliant, in today’s world death is something unseen/ unreal. We should honour and focus on the aspect of mortality more. It’s good to think about how we miss people who have passed away, not just forget them as we do with each Instagram post we scroll through .
I like Robert Greene's books absolute master piece. Especially useful for the soft hearted people, the empaths the kind one. They can learn to protect themselves by learnings of his. Books.
The TRUTH You SHARE IS LIFE AND SANITY for Thousands… NO GREATER PURPOSE ❤❤❤
Robert will remain a forever true high value man across history.
You are my role model!
The books you have written are so great......much valuable. You are warmly welcome to Tanzania, Mr . R. Greene.
Just wow, load of wisdom loaded in this podcast, it needs many watches before it gets absorbed , thank u Jay for introducing us to robert love from india🇮🇳🇮🇳
One of the reasons why people think "crush your enemy totally" law is evil is because they only see enemy in human form. Eg. Make laziness, poverty, etc your enemy then that law will have a different meaning.
I would really love to consider that interpretation. However, if that is the real meaning of that law, why the example of applying the law that comes with it is a revenge story that refers to a person?
I see nothing with crushing human enemies either. The ones complaining dont understand how greedy and evil most people are.
@@regaininglife9084 If you believe in crushing others and feel entitled to being greedy and evil, this book is perfect for you, go for it. That is a psychopathic point of view, just FYI, but be my guest. But don't justify yourself by saying "most people are like this too", because they are not. And even if they were, that wouldn't mean you had to act in the same way. Revenge (and every one of your actions) is a choice and describes you, not anybody else.
@@Deliriouseable Nope, you understand wrong. Your problem is you're naive and that's why people control you and have power over you.
@@regaininglife9084 Nobody has control or power over me, I don't need to control others to keep control over my own life. It is not a manipulators vs. manipulated world, you just need to defend yourself, which does not mean attacking others. But again, that is a psychopathic point of view and that might be why you feel so identified with this book. Check it out, make a test, educate yourself about psychopathy, you may find an explanation to a lot of your emotions and lack thereof.
Just the title of this is so empowering. I love my invigorating dark potential. I’m a loving person and I have struggled with depression from suppressing my dark potential.
Robert's books really helped get my mind able to accept reality and how to navigate through life, this interview helped me realize this only now. Thanks brother Jay
This man is a Genius I have just discovered Robert Greene and I’m 58….I’ve read his first book and I’m on to his second book omg I cannot put the book down it’s so good. Love him ❤❤❤❤
Thanks Jay for arranging this. What a wonderful & insightful dicussion with Robert Greene! The ending "Be Yourself" is important.
Robert Greene is one of my most favourite authors of all times.
Jay Thank You.
🧠💡🙏
To write books before dying...we are in the same boat, l became a writer at age 61 in Bogotá, Colombia. It is my way to protest elegantly and reach the World 🌎 THANKS Robert...Jay
Whoa my mind is blown by this. These are things I have conversations with myself in my head lol. But to actually hear someone else discuss my thoughts out loud. This made my day on my 44th Chapter 2/17♒💖💖💖
Thank you for asking him deep and meaningful questions! They truly shed more light on Robert Greene's personality and work.
This podcast is truely an eye opener .I love the intensity and passion Robert Green is expressing his views .Description about power hungry people are harsh but true.
The conversation was balanced between you two and Shetty's questions made Greene's book all the more interesting and understood. Thank you for a great interview.
Jay & Robert, this has been one of the best podcast episodes I've EVER listened/watched. That's not a light statement since I've consumed a lot of podcast episodes.
The quality of the people, the in-depth conversation and the essential topics that were covered as well as the mutual respect both have for each other makes this honestly a world-class conversation that's essential listening for everyone. Beautiful conversation all throughout. Let a thousand flowers bloom.
Thank you both!
Yassssss🙌💯
I agree!!
Robert Greene personifies the word "eclectic." Such an incredibly varied work history. And just a fascinating and hugely charismatic person, I could listen to him speak for hours
Each interview I watch of yours has helped process these difficult emotions. Being able to understand how I can control my emotions has saved me so much from unnecessary stress and anxiety. Thank you, for posting these.
A remarkable life and mindset. No wonder he has become so wise. We are all so lucky for having him make it easier for all of us through the books he wrote. That story about the shirt shall stick with me for a while. I wish Robert Greene all the best in health and life.
I was actually just recommended his book 48 laws of power. I looked it up as an audio format and checked the reviews and was so confused with the drastic contrast in the various negative and positive reviews because the person who suggested it to me is a very worldly minded person. Then one day later (today) a completely different person sends me this link, and suddenly i have full context of the mind behind the book!
Clearly this was meant for me, and I'm so glad to have witness this interview, it has been immensely insightful and i look forward to learning from the book so much more now
There is an overwhelming amount of fact in his books, I must read them more than once.
Thank you so much for this. I was one of those ones that thought of the book 48 Laws of Power as being evil, and I am now ashamed of thinking that way. I want the hardback and the audio asap 🙌🏾 Thank you again 💛
Robert Greene save my life. I will always be grateful😪
I like what Robert said about power not necessarily being evil or a bad thing. It's all about how it's used. And in order to bring about those bigger changes, what he said about playing on the same grounds as your opponents is very true indeed.
Thank you Robert and Jay! Wishing everyone much peace, love and good health
Prayers for a long and healthy life for Robert. I am indebted to have the benefit of his wisdom in my life
Robert.. This man is so unique, powerful, full of life! He just wants to help others and he is doing amazing! God Bless You!
It's a treat to hear Robert Greene such a noble genious
*"In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can." - Nikos Kazantzakis*
One of the most inspiring episodes ever. A great supporter of Robert Greene's work myself, blessed by his work, and, on the other side, happy to really connect with Jay Shetty and his podcast. Love, muchachos!
LUV LISTENING TO ROBERT, SO INTERESTING; HE IS NEVER BORING, A DEEP THINKER LIKE MYSELF! ALSO INTERVIEWER IS LOVELY YOUNG GUY!
I'm very happy to see both in same podcast because I'm a big fan of Robert Greene and you sir ❤️
This was very powerful for me. I appreciate the messages you put out and the people you bring on. It’s crazy how some of your messages directly relate to my life right now and I’m so grateful. Thank you jay
My congrats to both 2 of you, amazing conversation, it went touching deep, interest, peculiar life points avoiding any 'prepackaged' and predictable questions usually nowadays life purpose's discussions go about
Thanks a million for this video, Jay! I can’t wait to read Robert Greene’s next book “The Law of the Sublime”. Came to know about Robert because of this interview! I can’t get a copy of The 48 Laws of Power just yet but I know this book will be an asset. I love his energy and his teachings. May he be blessed with good health...I wouldn’t add wealth for money is never his goal~...which is probably the only idea I’m opposed to.
I’ve made an effort to incorporate the podcast on my daily lunch break walk and listen weather I feel like the subject applies to me or not.
I’ve never been a fan of forced optimism and fake joy, and was looking for content that would give me spiritual and practical ways of living.
Listening to your podcast Jay made my life richer, I reflect deeper on things and have better insight and understanding of events and people.
I have a lot of favourite episodes, however the one that gave me the courage to write a review was the one with Robert Greene.
I knew his work but listening to his views and reasoning behind the writing was a pure joy. Having the honour to hear you two dialogue is something that I am immensely grateful for.
Thank you for all the work that you and your amazing team do for all of us who listen and follow you .
Warmest regards,
Farrah xox
Going to read and order some of Robert’s books. Can listen to him talk forever!
Everything you do, see and feel is a reflection of not who you are, but how you are
You got this bestie keep striving
ROBERT GREENE the optimist man love you
Such a great provocation that you can get otherwise by listening to such outstanding persons.
Absolutely amazing what Robert Greene saysin the most honest, real, huble way- Can't wait to read his books! Thank you :-)
the Niccolo machiaveli of our time,Robert Green 👌🏿👌🏿i'm his die hard fan from east Africa,Burundi 🇧🇮..his books opened my eyes👌🏿👌🏿
I went to Amazon and bought his books. Thank you..these are the topics I am interested in, because I had been naive about true human nature (power politics) for a very long time...and had been scape goat on many occasions...now, all I am focused on is studying human psyche.
Thank you 🙏
I’m a fan of Robert Greene, He see human as they are. Not sugar coated and see the desire we have not as something dirty or embarrassing. I think you have to be really honest with yourself and acknowledge your true desire. Working towards them is what lead you to fulfilling life. His book could help us notice if we are being manipulated or used and also giving us the theory to do so. It depends on how you will use it. You could use the knowledge for something good and as he said most nastiest people actually don’t need his book about manipulation. They learn it naturally.
Also good job to Jay. This is actually his first podcast I ever watched and I’m impressed at the quality of his questions. I think it’s one of the best podcast of Robert Greene I ever watched.
Thank you Robert Greene!! ❤❤❤✨✨✨
Powerful episode. Thank you 🙏🏻 from Ireland.
Hello Jay. This is the first time I am at your channel. I really admire Robert Greene and read 48 laws in 2000 before it became popular. He has always been somewhat of a 'mentor from a distance' to me. I just wanted to say, I've watched a lot of Robert Greene interviews in youtube and yours is by far the most insightful and coherent. I'm really enjoying how you are making connections and asking really piercing questions. You've got a new subscriber. Seriously I want to watch the interviews for your questions and how you piece things together, than their responses. Thanks for making such great content
Robert Greene is a gem. After reading all this books, it boost my self esteem & people noticed. Also, stood up to work bullying in toxic workplace & quit my job. Found a better one that allows me to use my skills & grow
Always wanted to listen to this gentleman & what a great privilege it is to keep listening to Sir Robert Greene totally awesome being one of his greatest admirers Sir Robert Greene deserves the title 'Guru' the genuine motivator & Guide to the whole generation of us, Jay thanks for inviting personalities like Sir' please keep doing more & more podcast with him its live knowledge flowing.
This man is simply amazing 💯🙏 Grateful to have this content available.
Managing money is different from
accumulating wealth, and the lack
of investment education in schools
may explain why people struggle to
maintain their financial gains. The
examples you provided are
relevant, and I personally benefited
from the market crisis, as I embrace
challenging times while others tend
to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.
Investors should exercise caution
with their exposure and exercise
caution when considering new
investments, particularly during
periods of inflation. It is advisable
to seek guidance from a
professional or trusted advisor in
order to navigate this recession and
achieve potential high yields.
I subscribed for a few trading
courses but it didn't help much,
been getting suggestions to use a
proper financial advisor, how did
you go about touching base with
your adviser
Through closely monitoring the
performance of my portfolio, I have
witnessed a remarkable growth of
$483k in just the past two quarters.
This experience has shed light on
why experienced traders are able to
generate substantial returns even in
lesser-known markets. It is safe to
say that this bold decision has been
one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.
wow, that's stirring! Do you mind
connecting me to your advisor
please. I desperately need one to diversified my portfolio.
I've actually been looking into
advisors lately, the news I've been
seeing in the market hasn't been so
encouraging. who's the person guiding you?
Loved this podcast, Robert Greene is the best 🙌
Truly an amazing person Roberst Greene , I am a loner because I am who I am and do not firt in but I am happy with my beautiful little Cats.
Thanks for having him
He is such a wise humble man, I have read 2 of his books and I loved them so much, cNt wait to read them all
I never heard someone so intelligent as Robert. I have The 48 Laws of Power book but never read it yet! After hearing this video I'm gonna read it as well as Think Like a Monk which I also have. Thank you Robert and Jay for such an emotional video, for me I cried 😢 happy tears of course. I can't wait to see more videos with Robert ❤
Robert Greene is very underrated. 48 Laws of Power is an iconic masterpiece. I don’t necessarily agree with all of them but it’s a book I would read more than once.
Great subject. Every action we take is a power play. Every word we speak is too. We catagorize people in our minds as them having power over us or us having the power. The trick is to surround yourself with those people whom you feel equal to.
Awesome!! The best advice "live as my last day". Momento mori. Shetty and Robert made an incredible interview.
"How we react to situations, the emotions we pour in, and the amount of control we have over our reactions defines how much power we have over ourselves"
The last answer made me cry. Absolutely beautiful!
I love how Robert Green doesn’t talk like a self-help person. He talks like a human being. So many of us in self-help are using catchphrases and slogans and rhymes. It’s refreshing.
amazing interview. I love the advice Robert gives in the end. Be weird, Be creative. The same reason I started on my journey of crypto and blockchain. To give back in my own way.
I can't believe you did this Jay, i've been reading 48 laws of power...abd this episode was really needed for me.... thank you, Paseka Molepolle from South Africa
Thinking about ones own dead was also an spiritual exersice ancient greeks used to practice daily. It comes from stoicism. Really great conversation thanks for sharing.
This conversation is great, lot of wisdom displayed here. I learnt a lot, thanks to Robert and Jay.
Robert Greene is a natural stoic and sigma male - that's how he observed and thought about power.
God! Robert all I need is u b immortal your teaching is immortal... This could end one's suffering in life and how to deal with it , loads of healing and players for you, thanks jay for this incredible podcast
Thank you so much for your work Robert! Can't wait to read your new book "The Sublime".
This ones really amazing Jay. Seeing Robert share his thoughts on different perspectives just blows my mind. I think its wonderful to have certain people around that reminds you such insights. Thank you for having this podcast with him.
Biggest gift Robert has is unapologetic realism. His books are what your heart says yes to immediately.
