- Robert Greene is an author and historian.
Many people want and need power in life, but almost none of us admit it. Robert's new book compiles 366 of his best lessons on power, seduction, human nature and mastery, and today we get to go through my favourites.
Expect to learn how remaining absent can increase respect, how to speak with your actions not your words, why focussing on actions not words is the best way to judge someone's character, how to avoid losing your sanity in a group and much more...

Thanks for timestamping the intro, I was searching for that.

BANGER!!!!!!!!!
I am 65 years old
Never got my shit together whatever that means
However my life is the most expansive creative and lucrative NOW. I am. Simply a late bloomer
A lot of life is trial and error and being honest with ourselves
That's sick. Congrats Janice.
I would like to know of your origin, the struggle. What made the change?
🤗
Awesome this gives me hope as a 35 yo
I actually think that if u got ur life together at 25 or 30 it is not the best… because while u are reaching for ur goals it is the most exciting part of life.
Non stop learning and self development is the antidote to delusion and despair.
I was thinking the same. You confirmed it. Thank You ❤
I always saw Greene's books as "Defense against the Dark Arts" classes. I'm glad to hear that was more or less his intention
Love this analogy

extremely accurate way to put it
Great way of putting it!
... Chris Williamson, thank you. Your podcast is up there with Joe Rogan and Lex fridman.
Thanks Joe. We're getting there. Can't wait to make $100m and become Russian.
And Tim Ferris
Joe? Never heard of her
@@ChrisWillx can't wait for you and Malice to do your trip.
@@ChrisWillx There’s no russian success

If no one else is gonna say it, I will. Chris's smile is utterly infectious! Catching myself trying not to smile and it happens anyway! Much love and respect to Robert Greene - going down the UA-cam rabbit-hole of his talks, and found this channel here. Great stuff!
Robert Greene is having so much fun with this you can see him smile whenever he changes the pace that’s amazing to see how much joy he gets from the social media side of being a renowned author. Not everyone knows how to enjoy their success properly 🧘♂️
Robert Greene?!? Your podcast is on fire!!! Love this guy's books! They are a perfect mix of education about human nature illustrated with entertaining examples from historical figures and events. They're also completely amoral, Greene's books do not read like lectures about how people ought to behave, just a description of how people actually do behave.

Chris, you did a great job in structuring and having a conversation with Robert. You don’t Interrupt and contribute intelligent points. Really enjoy your work.
Amazing! I love Robert. I need to listen to the last 5 minutes every single morning to remind me of my place in the cosmos and to get in touch with that feeling of awe. Thank you both
... Your guest is right. Time is way more precious than money. And I have found that it's easier to obtain than money.... I've had more than a hundred jobs, and have done well at all of them. Each job, you learn something.
Robert is sharp AF. The guy's a beast.

His book influenced my life by seeing a lot of brain dust with his clarity...
This new book is very legit. Highly recommended.
The last 10 min was one the best conversation I have ever seen.. they saw each other eye to eye and understood word by word, the points raised and the responses from both sides were just right on!!! Thank u both
Love watching your podcast Chris! Keep up the good work.

i love interviewer like you Chris , you ask and dig more questions and less talk about yourself
Always enjoy watching your podcasts. Great host.
The final riff at 58:11 turns into such beautiful poetry all of the sudden... Thanks for getting and doing this interview with Robert Chris, phenomenal stuff.

The insignificant and the momentous is kind of the dual/ connected mindset I get into when I write poetry. Brilliant 💗🙌🏽
Wow what a powerful podcast, the last part was so transcendental and humbling. Thank you for this great interview
Two great human beings. Excellent discussion. So genuine.
I just love Robert Greens mind 💯💯💯🙌🏾
And you were a great interviewer and I have listened to many, all where he appears. SO THANK YOU 😊
💯
Well done Chris, you just say what is necessary.
This is a GREAT episode. Just “discovered” your podcast a few weeks ago.
Just dropping a like and a comment to say thank you for this.
Going to watch it later, but also want to help the algorithm.
I ❤❤❤ the works of Mr. Robert Greene!!! His thoughts are like massively flowing like the Niagara Falls. 🎉🎉🎉
He has a great gift as a writer to make a story stick in the mind.
Chris! you have an indepth wisdom, keep at it man!!!!
You are so not unprepared and in such an cultural snd intellectual deficiencies that I really admire your confidence to even post this.
Chris you are the most handsome man I’ve seen ever and thank you for featuring Dr Robert Greene. He is incredible and thanks to his incredible far reaching nature I have discovered you! Very professional and great interviewer. ☝️
What a fantastic interview!
Great podcast Chris.Hello from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪. Rob
Wow I never expected this collab, I cannot wait to watch this!!!!
Robert was actually on 3 years ago! So sick to have him back. The man's a force of nature.
@@ChrisWillx I am searching for that pod right now! Thanks for letting me know been a newly sub for around 6 months and you're one of the best podcasters I've ever watched!
Man after my own heart. Gives me hope for myself.
EPIC! Thank you so much luvs meant from within.
Robert Greene!! Yess! Thank you x
The last 2 minutes about creation were incredible!
Just received my book! I’m ready to put a little Robert Greene in me on the daily! 😊
I can tell Robert really likes this guy. I can tell this guy likes him too. The conversation is so smooth and they want to hear what the other has to say because they are interested in each other as a friend.
Another great Podcast Chris Williamsen👍
best man,
i will buy his book for sure
Along with Lex Fridman this is my favourite podcast. Keep it up Chris!
An outstanding podcast good job brother
You deserve so many more views and subscribers
Thank you, Chris.
I watch these on x2 speed & I love Robert Greene's voice/accent at that speed
Channel is quite excellent Chris. Service to others & selflessness is the Universe's way. Keep up the fab work buddy.
Restaurant tho, I'd go into the empty one, The hell with busy one.
Great podcast! I never heard of robert greene but have seen his books mentioned many time. Also, this one felt a bit rushed
Robert Green ! What a lovely man.
Loved it!
That was one great talk.
Great stuff!
Great interview!!! Really interesting guy.
It’s amazing what the algorithms and such do. Your last one about climate change has over 1.1k and counting comments and this one at this rate looks like it’ll struggle to get up to 200. Very interested ting.
Keep up the good work. Cheers!
Pleased there'll be another book I can't wait to order after watching this podcast; thank you!
I thought this would be another high ego podcaster interviewing my fave Robert Greene, but actually was dang awesome, allowed Robert to shine better than a lot of the other podcasters who love the sound of their own voices. Well done ✅ really enjoyed this

I’ve spent hours reading his books yet never knew what he looked or spoke like. Thanks.
Good shiii.. thanks so much!
Talk about synchronicity, someone gave me the book of 48 Laws of Power yesterday
Thank you
Brilliant!!!
Thanks Chris ❤
Love Robert.
Sir Robert Greene is a living breathing genius
Some legit wisdom for a change
I am addicted to Robert Greene books and interviews. How i wish i had discover his work earlier on
🙌
I didn’t know this book was coming out. Immediately preordered on audible. I’ll pick up the hardback on Amazon or Barnes and noble. I live the daily theme! Thanks for your hard work, both of you!
Utmost respect for his work. Visceral understanding of human behavior.
Good questions, honest conversation.. I appreciate that!
When you talk of power, to me its a bit like money. True i dont want to admit that i want money - or power and so i suppose maybe true that i do really...i am not really sure
But what i can say 100% is that i DONT want others having power over me - in exactly the same way that i DONT want debt
Robert Greens the job hopper I would have never guessed. At least he’s had a lot of different experiences 👍🏻
Participation is a form of consent and informs others of your own personal limits of power. The willingness to play someone else's game is a signal of power, but also it's immediate limits are plain to see.
Awsm 👏
Its so funny, i read His book 3 Times and never saw His face. Its incredible good.
I totally agree money can be earned, borrowed, stolen or found. You simply do not have those alternatives with money as nice as it is to have not that I have any mind.
Have to wait it out. Played it safe as a widow with 3 boys at 33. I knew my time will come. 59 now and rocking my own business 😎 more to come📈
Highly recommend Alex Hormozi and Leila Hormozi's channels. They offer incredible amounts of knowledge! They're newbies to UA-cam.
Great interview, thank you. But I enjoy more talks when the interviewer is probing further into the guest's mind rather than sharing their own opinion.
Exactly.. Right.. I'm too damn broken.
Him looking for his new website and reading the script was such an "old guy" thing ahhahaa it was awesome
"We're living in the age of con-artist"
This is why I don't like how the "Fake it till you make it" mantra is being used.
HE is one of them. Look if you end up like him and the ugliness of him, would you read his books? Unless you were a fool
@@koenkoopman3569 I can only judge that after I read his books and try out the information that's in there on people.
@@BboyKeny I can judge if someone wrote that and in the end, end up like him, you should not take that advice or readings. Good on you though if you want to end up like an a hole and try and BS people.
@@koenkoopman3569 I don't randomly change when I've read something. I also don't use such a things for power, but it's interesting to me if it's identifiable.
I act according to my morals, not for my desires. It's mainly my curiosity for information that makes me want to read stuff.
@@BboyKeny Of course if you read things especially a book, it can subtlely change you. Don't be so naive. You are not listening to my point which was that if you read it and follow it as well as to end up as him, you're screwed. He is a BStter. Wake up

30:52 stress reveals people
34:41 Appear more seldom, so you will be noticed
58:44 Accept your insignificance
Interested in you reasoning to conduct the podcast in this 'next one, next one' format, rather than a fully conversational way. Not a criticism, just curious. It is definitely more clipable, as there are boundaries on each topic. Could it be that Rob set a predefined time constraint, so to make the most out of the opportunity, this format is a necessity to hit all things your interested in. Either way great job.
It feels highly applicable given the nature of the book that Robert is being interviewed about. That said, more long-form conversations that go any and all directions between Chris and Robert would be amazing!
Power is controlling/understanding the EGO! Enjoying the lessons along the way to wisdom! They’re going to present themselves - enjoy the opportunity to learn and grow in the moment- The more you grow, The less you knew before. Accept, process and move on (:
tell Robert Chopin wrote "Minute Valse" about George Sand's dog chasing its own tail, it's a waltz
Ahh ha!! Finally. Lessons on MOoJOo(: Bangerang Gentlemen! Thank you
Super !
I recommend to read if possible the letters George Sand wrote to her daughter.
People, maybe, should read "La Comédie Humaine " de Balzac because in this novel you've got everything you have to know about the human behaviour, the societal codes and the masks we are compelled to wear in a coping mechanism. I'm not pitted against living as if there was nothing amiss in the human behaviour but I know that my mind if I'm not vigilant can be entrapped in the big societal vampire.
It's okay for me now to be nobody, nothing, a feather blown by the wind. I create what I need to create in letting go of a specific outcome. Who cares ? As Robert said our existence is ephemeral and when we'll die who'll care ?
Thank you both from France 👋 🇨🇵
People hate Transparency...and whenever you tell them who you truly are.. they don't believe eg...I have no credentials on the wall...and I share it...People say...why would you tell people that about yourself...I will tell someone i don't love them..amd they say I'm lying. If I broke a glass as a child...I would tell My parents/parent because I always felt it's my responsibility to take actions for My own act...People are AFRAID to feel judged and It's not far fetched.. that it is innately inbedded.
My son made me listen the 48 LAWS OF POWER audio over 9 yrs ago...amd I was GIFTED the Book over 3yrs ago.
POWER IS HIGHLY IMPORTANT to Me...I haven't MASTERED the ART as yet...because I still falter...however I catch Mself quicker NOW.. had I not known the root cause.
ROBERT GREENE... has an INFINITE amount of WISDOM.. . My tiny brain cant Formulate any other words at this moment!
I’m sure Roberts apprentice is great but I’m not sure he has surpasssed him.RG is a very respected writer
Chris is brilliant and crazy handsome 😍
... Power is a good and natural and healthy thing. It is simply the ability to function.
Use Absence to Increase Respect. You're really increasing your unfamiliarity. Have two sets of friends and the each group is always curious about the fun you are having with the other group. That's how socials are being used for this rule. Socials magnify it.
Hi, big fan of Roberts books. Can anyone please recommend some books for the layman on Game Theory?? Cheers
