I felt the exact same way while I watched this interview. The host kept interjecting little snarky, condescending quips throughout (unnecessarily) when they should have been a bit more silent and let Mr. Greene speak. It was very off-putting, but thank God 🙏 Robert kept it on track.
I really wanted to watch this but couldn't continue after 15 minutes, because the host is so passive aggressive and constantly putting down Robert Greene. Don't care if they are "friends" or have known each other a long time the disrespect is disgusting and sad.
It's never too late to live your passion. I'm in my 60s and these are the best years of my life. Sometimes in younger years, you have to do a job in order to pay your bills. But you should never forget what really makes you happy, and keep it alive.

That’s what I said too! I was so tied down from 18 on with responsibilities and time for my daughter, diva mama and rock star husband… I at times sacrificed my vision and desires for myself… but I did learn a lot and my daughter is going in the right direction… for her…💥 peace & Love
A technique I use to mitigate my own anxiety is to remind myself that other people have fears and anxiety similar to mine. Then I’ll try to make the other person feel comfortable. Focusing outward like that is much better than putting yourself under a microscope.
Indeed, interviewers often make the mistake of being offended when people simply express what they see. You need to be more mindful because this isn’t a casual conversation at a cafe-this is an interview with Robert Greene. Let the interview flow naturally; only interrupt when he’s finished and you need to move on to the next question
I agree with him, his books are not for powerful people , they are for the disempowered who need to understand how these structures work. I have read every book and they have absolutely helped me navigate life.
I love Robert Greene. I used to be so emotionally reactive and went through way too much hurt I didn’t need to. Now I’m wiser, stronger and ironically even more empathetic. Thank you Mr. Green.
Awesome bro. Could you expand on what you did to help you be less emotionally reactive? I want to be able to control the pain and anger caused by past memories. Perhaps reading and new thoughts will pave the way. Thanks in advance and much love.

Love how Jordan replies to every piece of criticism, constructive or not, by just completely denying the perspective or opinion of the comment instead of considering they might be right about something.
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 really love listening to Robert Greene. Kind of wish this interviewer would stop interrupting Robert. A great interview isn't about showing how clever you are, but in stepping back and letting your guest shine.
Not really. This is a conversation which is totally different. Robert comes on my show specifically for this reason. If you only want Robert, buy the book instead 🤡 thanks for watching!
Agreed! Jordan, listen I see you deflecting every single comment around your interruptions! You misunderstood it, its not about “we don’t care about you as host” and its a “conversation” so its ok to interrupt! Its about asking a question and letting the person finish their personal story without interrupting mid story! Its a skill you may already gotten better at! This was over 3 years ago! Hopefully you did! Thats all!

@cosmicboy7188 that's not always true. Some people don't always think they are great and wonderful and if you do they will see you as a manipulator. What you want to do is discern their opinion of themselves and mirror that. Perhaps in a good light, but a mirror non the less. For example. Lots of beautiful women don't actually think extremely highly of themselves, they know they have faults like everyone else. If you approach them with unearned adoration, they see you as a manipulator like all the other men. If you approach them with a mirror of their own opinion of themselves, an accurate mirror, they will see it as actual respect, like you actually see them.
Herd mentality.I had a yard sale yesterday, and noticed that most people would stop by if there was one or more cars parked. Nobody wants to go to an empty restaurant, they prefer to get in line for the busy ones. It takes courageous people to be the first so followers can make decisions.
an old coworker had his teen son + cousin drive around 'the circle'. (teen son was on learners permit, so it was perfect) it wasn't really a block, more like a circuit where you drive 1/2 mile down, turn right, go four miles, turn right for another two... and they would stop back at the yard sale like they were completely unrelated to the household, ask some version of 'do you have a computer monitor?' answer 'no the two i had got sold about 45 mins ago', jump back into the car, drive off and repeat.

I’ve been watching a lot of UA-cam videos on a certain topic, and Robert Greene is by far (in my humble opinion) the best educator. I literally bought his book The 48 Laws of Power this morning. In this video, Robert mentions having naïveté, in terms of how people utilize and manipulate their power. I can relate. I finally figured out about manipulation when I was 33 years old, due to being brainwashed/controlled by a man whom I regard as narcissistic. Now I’m 39, I’ve been researching SOOO much (I’m currently being manipulated by somebody - I just can’t get away) so, I’d like to thank you Robert for opening my eyes to the truth and having legitimate information, and the help you are giving to people like me.
My dad was in his late 30s when he got this book. He insisted on me reading it too. The young rebellious idealist that i was, I had many heated debates as to why this book, these rules were evil. Now that m in my late 30s, i miss my dad. I wish he was still with me to discuss and reflect on the pure gold that this book delivers. Its a weapon that i m discovering against the reality of the world and people
I agreed. I don’t like the host, I felt he was rude. He needs to show some respect we are listening to this episode because of Robert G not because of the guy interviewing him
I’m 26 and I’ve had this scarcity mentality that has really slowed me down my entire life. It’s really damaged my ability to get ahead in school and now I’m a college dropout. I’m not sure what my next move should be but I’m glad this man exist. Thanks Robert I will be reading all your books. Just listening to you gives me more clarity
Whatever you do keep taking classes, even if it's online and only one a semester.. That way no matter what you're still progressing towards a better life.
You’re not damaged or slowed down in any way except that you allow. Where you are is your starting point. We all have one. What happened in the past has NO bearing on your tomorrow, except what you allow. It’s too easy to blame the past stuff (no matter how true). No one ever got ahead in anything, ever, using blame as a tool. Your tool kit includes things you’ve learned FROM the past stuff. If you’ve learned nothing then you’re going to see it come up again and again, until you do. I have learned all this the hard way. I share this with you so you don’t have to.
Here's a tip: people will not ask your age, but they will use your graduation date as a proxy. Graduating later can make you look younger. The most important thing is to graduate into a good economy for your sector. Think about whether to have a "Plan B" or to go for broke in a field where you love the work and excel naturally. People who advise you to forget your true passion and be "practical" may be doing you a grave disservice, because if you end up having to compete with people who LOVE love what they do, you probably can't. They may be able to work 50 and 60 hour weeks, no problem. That is always a drag -- and not practical, either.
So I just came across this video. I thought it would be good as a bedtime material. Oh man. How wrong was I! So 40 minutes into it, my heart is thumping, my neurons are dancing tango and I feel that all my ideas that I've been mulling over the past weeks will burst out uncontrollably. My eyes are wide open, my mind is a sponge and I'm ready to do anything but sleep. This is some truly inspiring shit. Tomorrow is my last day of work and then holidays are coming. Suddenly I know what I'm going to be doing. Watch these guys over and over, order Green's books and take that godnamn inspiration for a spin! Honestly, the best stuff I've seen in ages. It's funny how sometimes you find exactly what you need on your journey and it does the trick. 🍀
40:50 “Your source of power in life is ACTUALLY THAT WHICH MAKES YOU WEIRD AND STRANGE. That which makes you DIFFERENT IS THAT WHICH YOU WANT TO LEAN INTO. To the degree that you know what makes you different and lean into it is where your power lies.” 40:50
What if THAT is what gets me bullied by my boss at work? I can't quit but to survive I have to hide my authentic self as a protective measure so I can survive my narcissistic boss. Til I can get away from her at least.
I've never heard of this man before but after reading a lot of books and attending different seminars over the years, I have to say, this man has managed to put into words exactly what I've been trying to understand. I do also find his voice really easy to listen to and thank goodness he doesn't use a lot of jargon and present airy fairy ideas. Buying his book today.
I appreciate Robert Greene's books because he researched and found proof that we all have multiple personalities and if we embrace and acknowledge that fact. Then we will be able to handle ourselves better... it kinda keeps us humble because we are no better or worse than the other person.
I thought that too. There's this calmness about him. He is comfortable with himself in and and outside of the world. When he speaks reminds me of a Ram Das with more earthiness or pep!
Robert gives off an air of "putting up with people". If you pay attention, he does this in every interview. Its a power move, and when you read between the lines, you'll notice he's actually really enjoying this interview style.
Great Interview! I am an empowered First Nations Ojibwa from Canada who has outshined many of my bosses and people who I found myself in power struggles with - I thought I was doing the right thing. Robert Green gives so much clarity about managing my personal power to be more subtle. I am so grateful that Robert Green has written a book about dynamics that most people wont talk about! Thank you, Robert Green!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I was in lockup/ detention center at 26yrs old in Michigan, just outside Detroit. Very tumultuous time, a brotha I ran into named Jimmy was very smart and calculated. He was quiet when he first got there and by the end of our stay he was clearly the leader of the whole cabin. He was charismatic, he once lent me the book 48 Laws of Power and warned me, "Sage there's lots of good stuff in here that will change your life but be careful, it'll make you think different" He would t elaborate, I read it and understood what he was hunting, that it gave you the ability to play the game yes but also gave you an elevated Machiavellian outlook on every interaction, garnered your criminal mind.
I was one of those näive nice innocent young woman who was totally taken advantage of and betrayed by my mother who was in some sort of competition in her mind with me, to undermine and covertly destroy any foundation I ever had, and in the end she said she did it because she didn't have it good why should I? She was Narcissistic cruel, abusive, ran off every bf husband prospect, and took my kids tortured them before the state took them and adopted by court order. She was all about power and control and I had no clue the past 25 years and just now am listening 🎧 to Robert Greene. I get it now. I needed him to put it this way.
My mother called me ugly when I was 7...my dad said she was jealous of me because I looked like him... when i had children I decided to be a better mother and pour positivity into my children. My mother passed away yrs ago, and her words still hurt 43 yrs later... reading books like 48 laws of power help me to understand, forgive and heal.. eventhough she said terrible things, she was still my mother. I would not be here without her... ❤
Wow sounds a bit like mine. I cut mine out completely from my life a couple years ago because she is too toxic and negative for me and or my health and well being. It's a relief more now. You are ENOUGH!!! Always remember that!! Write that on your wall or on your mirror and tell yourself that as much as possible . Start believing it. She sounds really immature. Thankfully your Dad sounds decent. I'm sorry about your kids. Maybe one day when they are legal age you can reconnect with them again. Your so called Mother doesn't even deserve you. That's all her problem.
I can relate to his process. I wrote my first book when I was seven. Later in life, I ended up helping old people in care homes to write their life stories and publish them on Amazon for their friends and family around the world to read. I also turned the poems I wrote for them about their lives into animations that I put up on UA-cam. What I earned doing this helped me pay off my mortgage and invest in the stock market so I could buy a second property and rent out the apartment that I own mortgage-free. I also managed to write over 100 books including two novels and several poetry books by following that voice that just said to me that I had to write.
When you put your creativity into practice you get paid twice, once for the money your earn, the other for the nourishment of your soul 🧡 Good for you!
I just love the thought process of Robert Greene. It helped me so much to change from who I once was. I feel like he gave me 48 powers to strengthen me. This conversation is so refreshing in this strage world we live in. Thank you ❤
I have infinite respect for Robert Greene he is great author who writes to really and honestly help people without BS And he personally helped me with his "33 Strategies Of War" which was like a punch to the gut and a harsh reality check which I needed, specifically keeping the presence of mind chapter Which I read while being in the dark place from which I could not see the exit but after reading that chapter and learning historical examples I understood the need to take control of my mind because just panicking and feeling hopeless won't fix anything. I need to calm down and analyze situation to find solution and become the arm for people to depend on. (Of course I did not immediately shut off emotions rather just received a direction to become more resilient) That chapter literally changed my life for the better things I dreaded became mundane.
Robert is just opening our eyes..what's really the reality his just educating us by awaking us with people nature it doesn't mean that we need to do that it's just he's letting us knows and learn what's happening
Robert Greene opens the shut and bolted.....(figuratively speaking) the inside doors and windows in the depth of the obscure...hidden seat of human internal power of the conscience. ...
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 absolutely love Robert Greene and his books! I appreciate his honesty, keen insight and desire to share suggestions on how to navigate both in the work world and personal life.
my parents taught me to give everyone the benefit of a doubt. as i got older i saw how bad that advice was. people are evil. i have dealt with a couple of narcissist and learned exactly how these people work. my parents were narcissists, and i think they intentionally set me up for narcissistic abuse. i cut off my parents because I saw just how evil they were as i got older. they were covert narcissist that wore a "good" mask. good natured people need to be educated on this subject because we are surrounded by predators.
I was abused by narcissist too. I turned my life around by detaching from them and for some, complete cut off. After that, the most important thing I did was to begin looking at the sides of me that are like them or are inviting them unconsciously into my life. I dug super deep to really look at my issues. This is a lifelong process of always looking to myself as to how am I like them or allowing their behavior bc of weakness? And I then work to rid myself of these instead of blaming others. I now say “bless them and change me”. This has changed my life and I’m a better person for it
@@samanthamariah7625 absolutely the best comment here. Thinking admirable thoughts about your positive attitude and how you are grateful for what you have achieved

I know someone who didn’t become wildly successful until his 70’s. Toiled all his life, doing the same thing, in the same industry, he made some changes and took a risk, sold his company for $780 million 6 years ago , he toiled there for 50 years. At points the company had negative worth. He decided to get better people by paying more then competition , significantly more , and selling more expensive and luxurious product, after a year or so the avalanche of money his company started to make, allowed him to advertise and grow like crazy. He got a private Jet and a box at Jets stadium , he is a lifelong Jets fan, that’s not a very successful team. But he stuck with them. He made his sons and close associates millionaires . I worked for him for 20 years. He was a great boss.
"Nothing is wasted" I absolutely agree. I bounced around many jobs, 20+ before 37, and many hobbies. In my current work as an Rv Service Technician, I have drawn from skills and information that I learned in all of thise situations, even the customer service skills learned in retail.
I love Robert, I love all your books, i gotta say this.. "I had 65-80 jobs, and all my bosses were psycho'" YOU. You are who you are talking about sir.
Just remember the world is a stage and everyone is an actor and the sooner you realize that what people say is typically the opposite of what they really want and that you should just figure out the role they are playing and you can win anyone who you meet over. Need to be someone you don't know, its a lot harder to change a negative opinion than to create a positive one
Do you mean this guy could possibly be a "bad actor" out to manipulate weak people with flawed personalities and weak characters so they can destroy themselves and one another?
There was a jock in high school and used to sit next to me in class and say, “Tennille, you’re so hot but why do you dress like such a freak.” I would reply, “So guys like you don’t try to date me.” Works like a charm!! 🤣
I done the thinking someone into a good reputation thing all the time with reportedly bad patients at the hospital. It works. I always try to think positively of people and the meet my expectations all the time.
This guy is brilliant…big fan of his books and he just puts out the information based on events that happened…if you use the info for bad then you’re evil not the author
How do you know the author intention is not for people to use his books to be evil and destroy trust in society and in one another? How do you know he's not a sociopath out to subvert the weak, unsecure, ease to manipulate people who read his books?
About 53 minutes in they expound on the important art to separating this isn't good vs I'm not good. Knowing that your work can use improvement shows that you know what is good; accept that there is a good enough level, that is indicative of your current skillset. Do things as well as you can at the moment, don't slack off and don't compare to your future abilities. They explain this well.
To the person reading this, don't let the challenges of life bring you down. You are strong and capable of overcoming any obstacle. Keep pushing forward, and good luck on your journey! 💪🏼🌟
I love Robert Greene’s books and the message of being aware of manipulations & social surroundings and defending yourself against it. Where people are messing up is that they feel like they must be liked by everyone so will use the laws to be fake, manipulative and disingenuous.
Jordan is the best interviewer. Used to listen to his previous podcast and then he launched this and its even better. He has incredible guests. He has the best banter with his guests of any interviewer. It's the right mix of casual conversation, banter, deep questioning and always moving the interview forward.

It's amazing that a man can write one of the greatest books of all time and still be so grounded.
I’m 26 and I’ve had this scarcity mentality that has really slowed me down my entire life. It’s really damaged my ability to get ahead in school and now I’m a college dropout. I’m not sure what my next move should be but I’m glad this man exist. Thanks Robert I will be reading all your books. Just listening to you gives me more clarity
Whatever you do keep taking classes, even if it's online and only one a semester.. That way no matter what you're still progressing towards a better life.
You’re not damaged or slowed down in any way except that you allow. Where you are is your starting point. We all have one. What happened in the past has NO bearing on your tomorrow, except what you allow. It’s too easy to blame the past stuff (no matter how true). No one ever got ahead in anything, ever, using blame as a tool. Your tool kit includes things you’ve learned FROM the past stuff. If you’ve learned nothing then you’re going to see it come up again and again, until you do. I have learned all this the hard way. I share this with you so you don’t have to.

Your still young, make a plan over 2 years and you will be super successful by 28!
Here's a tip: people will not ask your age, but they will use your graduation date as a proxy. Graduating later can make you look younger.
The most important thing is to graduate into a good economy for your sector. Think about whether to have a "Plan B" or to go for broke in a field where you love the work and excel naturally.
People who advise you to forget your true passion and be "practical" may be doing you a grave disservice, because if you end up having to compete with people who LOVE love what they do, you probably can't. They may be able to work 50 and 60 hour weeks, no problem. That is always a drag -- and not practical, either.
I used to think that I was always judging people but I realized that it's not Judgement but Discernment.
Oh that is FIRE!!!
So I just came across this video. I thought it would be good as a bedtime material. Oh man. How wrong was I! So 40 minutes into it, my heart is thumping, my neurons are dancing tango and I feel that all my ideas that I've been mulling over the past weeks will burst out uncontrollably. My eyes are wide open, my mind is a sponge and I'm ready to do anything but sleep. This is some truly inspiring shit. Tomorrow is my last day of work and then holidays are coming. Suddenly I know what I'm going to be doing. Watch these guys over and over, order Green's books and take that godnamn inspiration for a spin! Honestly, the best stuff I've seen in ages. It's funny how sometimes you find exactly what you need on your journey and it does the trick. 🍀

How did you go?
40:50 “Your source of power in life is ACTUALLY THAT WHICH MAKES YOU WEIRD AND STRANGE. That which makes you DIFFERENT IS THAT WHICH YOU WANT TO LEAN INTO. To the degree that you know what makes you different and lean into it is where your power lies.” 40:50
What if THAT is what gets me bullied by my boss at work? I can't quit but to survive I have to hide my authentic self as a protective measure so I can survive my narcissistic boss. Til I can get away from her at least.
Really appreciate Robert. He’s like the courageous child who points out out loud that the emperor has no clothes.
I've never heard of this man before but after reading a lot of books and attending different seminars over the years, I have to say, this man has managed to put into words exactly what I've been trying to understand. I do also find his voice really easy to listen to and thank goodness he doesn't use a lot of jargon and present airy fairy ideas. Buying his book today.
He is so humble
I appreciate Robert Greene's books because he researched and found proof that we all have multiple personalities and if we embrace and acknowledge that fact. Then we will be able to handle ourselves better... it kinda keeps us humble because we are no better or worse than the other person.
I respect Robert for his patience.. geez amazing guy. He just continues ever so gracefully..😅
I saw what you saw
Yes this is one of his favorite interviews. Him and I go way back. Thanks for watching!
I thought that too. There's this calmness about him. He is comfortable with himself in and and outside of the world. When he speaks reminds me of a Ram Das with more earthiness or pep!
Robert gives off an air of "putting up with people". If you pay attention, he does this in every interview. Its a power move, and when you read between the lines, you'll notice he's actually really enjoying this interview style.
Yes Robert and I are friends and this is always fun.
Great Interview! I am an empowered First Nations Ojibwa from Canada who has outshined many of my bosses and people who I found myself in power struggles with - I thought I was doing the right thing. Robert Green gives so much clarity about managing my personal power to be more subtle. I am so grateful that Robert Green has written a book about dynamics that most people wont talk about! Thank you, Robert Green!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I was in lockup/ detention center at 26yrs old in Michigan, just outside Detroit.
Very tumultuous time, a brotha I ran into named Jimmy was very smart and calculated. He was quiet when he first got there and by the end of our stay he was clearly the leader of the whole cabin.
He was charismatic, he once lent me the book 48 Laws of Power and warned me, "Sage there's lots of good stuff in here that will change your life but be careful, it'll make you think different"
He would t elaborate, I read it and understood what he was hunting, that it gave you the ability to play the game yes but also gave you an elevated Machiavellian outlook on every interaction, garnered your criminal mind.
Robert Greene such a talented yet, humble human being.
Robert Green is a legend. He's a blessing
Greene is the hippest nerd on the planet. Hands down...
I was one of those näive nice innocent young woman who was totally taken advantage of and betrayed by my mother who was in some sort of competition in her mind with me, to undermine and covertly destroy any foundation I ever had, and in the end she said she did it because she didn't have it good why should I? She was Narcissistic cruel, abusive, ran off every bf husband prospect, and took my kids tortured them before the state took them and adopted by court order. She was all about power and control and I had no clue the past 25 years and just now am listening 🎧 to Robert Greene. I get it now. I needed him to put it this way.
My mother called me ugly when I was 7...my dad said she was jealous of me because I looked like him... when i had children I decided to be a better mother and pour positivity into my children.
My mother passed away yrs ago, and her words still hurt 43 yrs later...
reading books like 48 laws of power help me to understand, forgive and heal.. eventhough she said terrible things, she was still my mother. I would not be here without her... ❤
Your prob a better person than me then, lol because you darling didn't ask to be here. She decided to bring you here@Keisha_The_Electrician
Wow sounds a bit like mine. I cut mine out completely from my life a couple years ago because she is too toxic and negative for me and or my health and well being. It's a relief more now. You are ENOUGH!!! Always remember that!! Write that on your wall or on your mirror and tell yourself that as much as possible . Start believing it. She sounds really immature. Thankfully your Dad sounds decent. I'm sorry about your kids. Maybe one day when they are legal age you can reconnect with them again. Your so called Mother doesn't even deserve you. That's all her problem.
I love Robert's information. Listened to this a few times, found it very helpful. Buying the book now, 48 laws. Thanks both!!!
I can relate to his process. I wrote my first book when I was seven. Later in life, I ended up helping old people in care homes to write their life stories and publish them on Amazon for their friends and family around the world to read. I also turned the poems I wrote for them about their lives into animations that I put up on UA-cam. What I earned doing this helped me pay off my mortgage and invest in the stock market so I could buy a second property and rent out the apartment that I own mortgage-free. I also managed to write over 100 books including two novels and several poetry books by following that voice that just said to me that I had to write.
When you put your creativity into practice you get paid twice, once for the money your earn, the other for the nourishment of your soul 🧡 Good for you!
Sounds so good!
What you just shared exemplifies the mantra “abundance is on the other side of sharing your gifts”
@@janielelewis8846 I love this! 🧡
What are the names of the books on Amazon?
I just love the thought process of Robert Greene. It helped me so much to change from who I once was. I feel like he gave me 48 powers to strengthen me. This conversation is so refreshing in this strage world we live in. Thank you ❤
I have infinite respect for Robert Greene he is great author who writes to really and honestly help people without BS
And he personally helped me with his "33 Strategies Of War" which was like a punch to the gut and a harsh reality check which I needed, specifically keeping the presence of mind chapter
Which I read while being in the dark place from which I could not see the exit but after reading that chapter and learning historical examples I understood the need to take control of my mind because just panicking and feeling hopeless won't fix anything. I need to calm down and analyze situation to find solution and become the arm for people to depend on. (Of course I did not immediately shut off emotions rather just received a direction to become more resilient)
That chapter literally changed my life for the better things I dreaded became mundane.
The more I hear Robert Greene speak the more I like him
Robert Greene is the author that got me into reading. Not only is he insightful but also entertaining.
He is speaking truth about workplace politics and majority are mean to deadliest end.
Robert is just opening our eyes..what's really the reality his just educating us by awaking us with people nature it doesn't mean that we need to do that it's just he's letting us knows and learn what's happening
THE FIVE FRAMES OF INTELLIGENCE. great part to replay.
I love this author I actually understand what he means in all of his books.
Robert Greene opens the shut and bolted.....(figuratively speaking) the inside doors and windows in the depth of the obscure...hidden seat of human internal power of the conscience. ...
Best and most valuable Robert Greene interview I have watched.. The down to earth conversation style protrays has allowed me to understand him better
Thanks Omar. More in The Jordan Harbinger Show podcast feed.
@@JordanHarbingerShow Robert Greene plagiarized R.G.H. Siu's The Craft of Power.
How the bad reviews impacted him. i feel for him. He really is my teacher of life
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
His books have really helped me to deal with myself and poeple around me .
I absolutely love Robert Greene and his books! I appreciate his honesty, keen insight and desire to share suggestions on how to navigate both in the work world and personal life.
Thanks for watching. More with Robert in The Jordan Harbinger Show podcast feed.
Mr G. books are masterful. The writing, marketing, and conceptual skills are intensely well done. He’s a star. 🌟
Robert Greene is an emphatic type of person.
Thank you for this wonderful conversation from both! 🎉
The best interview with Robert Greene! Every second is not boring.
my parents taught me to give everyone the benefit of a doubt. as i got older i saw how bad that advice was. people are evil. i have dealt with a couple of narcissist and learned exactly how these people work. my parents were narcissists, and i think they intentionally set me up for narcissistic abuse. i cut off my parents because I saw just how evil they were as i got older. they were covert narcissist that wore a "good" mask. good natured people need to be educated on this subject because we are surrounded by predators.
You sound like a very fearful person
What you believe becomes your reality, change to believe people are good and good people come in your life
The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree
I was abused by narcissist too. I turned my life around by detaching from them and for some, complete cut off. After that, the most important thing I did was to begin looking at the sides of me that are like them or are inviting them unconsciously into my life. I dug super deep to really look at my issues. This is a lifelong process of always looking to myself as to how am I like them or allowing their behavior bc of weakness? And I then work to rid myself of these instead of blaming others. I now say “bless them and change me”. This has changed my life and I’m a better person for it
@@samanthamariah7625 absolutely the best comment here. Thinking admirable thoughts about your positive attitude and how you are grateful for what you have achieved
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed Roberts reactions to the hosts nonsense interjections lmfao He tried to make a joke in the middle of Robert making a point and Robert just said "Ok" and kept with his line of thought lmfaooo I'm so dead
I didn't know about this man until now. And I am more mature now. I just could have used this for years! He's right about power games.
I swear this book got me back to what I love. Music.
Now I just my career as my foundation to supplement and support my music.
Thanks Robert.
Do you live in the U.S.?
I know someone who didn’t become wildly successful until his 70’s. Toiled all his life, doing the same thing, in the same industry, he made some changes and took a risk, sold his company for $780 million 6 years ago , he toiled there for 50 years. At points the company had negative worth. He decided to get better people by paying more then competition , significantly more , and selling more expensive and luxurious product, after a year or so the avalanche of money his company started to make, allowed him to advertise and grow like crazy. He got a private Jet and a box at Jets stadium , he is a lifelong Jets fan, that’s not a very successful team. But he stuck with them. He made his sons and close associates millionaires . I worked for him for 20 years. He was a great boss.
Success doesn’t always equal = money
this is the guy that wrote that book! dude this book created a monster in my life - now it's my turn to read + step up but with goodness
"Nothing is wasted" I absolutely agree.
I bounced around many jobs, 20+ before 37, and many hobbies. In my current work as an Rv Service Technician, I have drawn from skills and information that I learned in all of thise situations, even the customer service skills learned in retail.
Thank you Robert Greene. You have helped transforming my life. I have really received some much! It's opened up my eyes.
Never been about power its all about observations of power. It's bringing awareness
I just love how Robert Greene handles this interview with great self control that really amazes me
@Ephantus Mugo The dude clearly cant control himself he just blurts out some random and irritating BS. Seems very childish.
I love Robert, I love all your books, i gotta say this..
"I had 65-80 jobs, and all my bosses were psycho'"
YOU.
You are who you are talking about sir.
Stop projecting 😂 lmao
Just remember the world is a stage and everyone is an actor and the sooner you realize that what people say is typically the opposite of what they really want and that you should just figure out the role they are playing and you can win anyone who you meet over. Need to be someone you don't know, its a lot harder to change a negative opinion than to create a positive one
Do you mean this guy could possibly be a "bad actor" out to manipulate weak people with flawed personalities and weak characters so they can destroy themselves and one another?
I am naive, too.
Great person you are, Mr. Green
I have only discovered him in the past week and he talks so smoothly also calmly unlike me
There was a jock in high school and used to sit next to me in class and say, “Tennille, you’re so hot but why do you dress like such a freak.” I would reply, “So guys like you don’t try to date me.”
Works like a charm!! 🤣
Most lmportant books ever written
Thank you!!! Finally found an interview where it feels like Robert is engaged. The chemistry was great. I cracked up a few times
I done the thinking someone into a good reputation thing all the time with reportedly bad patients at the hospital. It works. I always try to think positively of people and the meet my expectations all the time.
Thank you God for Robert Greene
This guy is brilliant…big fan of his books and he just puts out the information based on events that happened…if you use the info for bad then you’re evil not the author
How do you know the author intention is not for people to use his books to be evil and destroy trust in society and in one another? How do you know he's not a sociopath out to subvert the weak, unsecure, ease to manipulate people who read his books?
Robert Greene.....world class thinker.
Inkredible writer and person!
Great conversation, very interesting, thanks 😊
About 53 minutes in they expound on the important art to separating this isn't good vs I'm not good. Knowing that your work can use improvement shows that you know what is good; accept that there is a good enough level, that is indicative of your current skillset. Do things as well as you can at the moment, don't slack off and don't compare to your future abilities. They explain this well.
My gosh, Robert seems to have got to the heart of the matter.
Mr. Greene is a great observer of human behavior.
I hear You Robbie You are great I just love You thanks for sharing your wisdom
To the person reading this, don't let the challenges of life bring you down. You are strong and capable of overcoming any obstacle. Keep pushing forward, and good luck on your journey! 💪🏼🌟
❤
Thank you very much. Blessings.🎉
I go there and back forth and I don't know how in the end of the night I always watching Robert in another interview ....
I love this guy! I couldn’t stop staring at Mr. Green’s open button tho😂
INFJ-A. Super spot on. Most comprehensive mbti guide I've found, extremely informative and well structured.
This is the second interview with Robert Greene, or already the third? Your back and forth is so much fun and warm. I love it!
Hey thank you! This is the third at least by now :)
@@JordanHarbingerShow Robert Greene plagiarized R.G.H. Siu's The Craft of Power.
The guy who changed my life. Mr. Greene
I have read his book and they made me rich and strong.it has enabled me not to be manipulated by people and more so women in Nairobi city
I just started listening to this and Robert said "there are negative reviews?" Is hilarious!😂😂😂
Excellent talk, always enjoy listening to Robert Green. The interviewer was annoying, he kept interrupting Mr Green while he was speaking..
I love Robert Greene’s books and the message of being aware of manipulations & social surroundings and defending yourself against it. Where people are messing up is that they feel like they must be liked by everyone so will use the laws to be fake, manipulative and disingenuous.
Jordan is the best interviewer. Used to listen to his previous podcast and then he launched this and its even better. He has incredible guests. He has the best banter with his guests of any interviewer. It's the right mix of casual conversation, banter, deep questioning and always moving the interview forward.
Thanks so much and welcome!
No he's not.
The dude doing the interview needs to read the book 5 times....
😂
Great advice!! Love Robert’ s book. May you live long!!!
Wow I love Robert greene
Robert is genius!All my respect for his work !
Interesting to watch the power dynamics at play in this interview.🤔🤗
as a disempowered college student. I read his book and became powerful. I then used it to inspire and take care of employees. Gotcha dumb bosses
Brilliant interview, thank you!
