no word for ur such increadible work just thanks a lot
key points:
-Being strategic is a way to have power and control in life.
-To be a strategist, you need to change how you look at the world and think about Power, Seduction, and Strategy.
-Most people live in Tactical Hell because they continually react emotionally to what people say and do.
-To get out of Tactical Hell, you need to enter Strategic Heaven by altering how you look at things and responding rationally instead of emotionally.
-Being a strategist in life means considering other ways to respond to somebody's behavior and creating options instead of just reacting. It is a way to have power and control in business and any other setting.
Great
It all feels very circular to me, i.e. from what you wrote @amandamate, "To be a strategist, you need to look at how you think about .... strategy." This is very unsatisfying as an explanation, isn't it?
@@douglasobannon you established that we should not read the comments, you are correct.
@@DerrickSmalls-t3k Do you have anything to add to the 'strategy' discussion? I think it's an interesting term to explore. The term 'strategy' is so overused and seems to mean whatever the user wants it to mean at the moment ... and nothing in general ... which is very unsatisfying if you're trying to understand what 'strategy' (the man-made construct) actually IS.
You just vomted a bunch of business jargon instead of English.
Getting Robert's content in shorter form from himself feels like I'm having a great advantage to 99%.
Always remember to take action Kings.
Thank you very much for existing. I found your book "48 laws of power" in my dad's library when I was a little boy. Opening that book is one of the best decision I have ever made. Thank you very much Sir.
“Little boy”?😂😂 I thought the book came out not long ago?
@@cccddd2323 no kidding isn't it crazy how time flies
@@jmm1817 looool I thought it came out in 2018 or something 😂
Only missed it by 20 years😄
@@jmm1817 hahaaa
Thank you Mr. Greene. Just an hour ago my brother came back from work and instantly started "jokingly" insulting my weight while I was happily eating cookies ( I'm a woman). Instead of reacting or defending myself, I looked him in the eyes and calmly pointed out he must be miserable right now that's why he's soft-bullying me. He's been doing this for the past few weeks consistently and I've realized it's because he's not happy at work. Hence, him trying to evoke strong reactions in order to gain sense of power.
For the past year, I've been reading your books consistently and they guided me to process people's intentions much more accurately. I now see the hurt behind aggressive masks. This video was a confirmation to what happened. Lol if he doesn't stop, I might have to give him a taste of his own medicine sooner or later 😇.
These "wars" happen on small scales too!
ThankYou for sharing. Eye opening info right here.
Internal wounds and hurt are expressed externally.
You're doing great.. but how about someday sitting alone with him and talk his situation through.. Pains are like icebergs.. 10% on the outside 90 inside.
Peace 🌟
Interesting.
@@ayyuhhshh2169 Yeah of course I let him vent his frustration from time to time. But he's the type of person that will ALWAYS push your boundaries if you let him. My other male siblings aren't like this, but he is so I act accordingly to his nature.
The moment you start thinking instead of reacting, you become a strategist in life! what a great advice👌 Thank you, Mr. Robert Greene!
It's an odd one. It feels like you would start to get into a situation of paranoia, or at least neuroticism wondering about peoples motivations all the time. I have extreme (and I mean extreme) low levels of neuroticism on any tests I've done. This does mean I'm probably not thinking strategically enough but I don't want to get into a habit of being some kind of Machiavellian character always scheming and assuming other people are scheming against me and countering those moves. Sounds exhausting and dumb tbh.
I appreciate your calm thinking.
"Taking a step back" and seeing "the big picture" can aid in thinking your own strategies, I agree. But I add: 1) It is important to distinguish between A) immediate battlefield tactics and B) over-arching war strategy. The strategy of the entire war defines the prefered victory conditions, after many battles. The tactics include the chosen actions at each battle. 2) Also, it would be prudent for Robert Greene to point out that if you are just reacting, your “opponent” may already have a hidden strategy (or always have a hidden strategy if they are lying). And you can figure this strategy out so you can play on equal footing. 3) It is a Game Theory secret to know that BEFORE you begin negotiations, you can change the stakes and the rules. Meaning, you don't have to wait to see “what's on the table” to begin playing. You can stop the game and change what's on the table before you play and risk something. Your actions for adding and subtracting what's on the table changes your current leveraging values.

This is the best practical advice/strategy for emotional intelligence and anger management!
Merci beaucoup Robert Greene ❤️
Thanks Robert, right on. When upset about something i say this phrase to myself "I have no opinion about this matter" . It applies to all things, i dont have to search. It instantly releases me - just like Robert said, I never realized how much of our day and time is spent being judge and jury about absolutely everything, things i actually dont even care about. it was exhausting. I use it multiple times a day (in my head of course) regarding my partners habits, and it lets me roll right through without getting upset, the habits even become endearing:)
Thank you. Fear of loss of something (love, recognition, sleep, food, safety, money, health ect...) creates anger. Repressing that anger over time creates feelings of hopelessness and depression.
I feel hopeless and depress whenever I repress my anger. I need to express my anger somehow in order to feel better and avoid getting sick.
@@warrenbradford2597 For me I do Karate, Yoga and Lift weights...and even more important stay hydrated. Your mind and body function better when you top off the fluids. Your mileage may vary.
Thank you Robert for sharing that important idea.
My advice... "Trust no one. Not even yourself."
At any one moment we humans can make a fatal error.
The best advice I had starting this 2023 with a "strategy approach" with no bias from respectable writer Mr.Robert Greene. Thank You! Happy 2023.
Wisdom takes long time to develop but life teaches you slowly if you have the ability to learn
Robert you‘re a legend.
He’s so inspiring 🌹
Thank you for all your wisdom
My hero you changed my life for the better
As a natural-born strategist who absolutely loves The 33 Strategies of War, I agree with this message 100%. However, it's easier said than done in the long run to just be and act strategically and rationally.
You have to be on top all the time and maintain that position to have that luxury and only a lucky minority succeeds with that. First, they must work hard and smart to get there. Second, they must get lucky because hard and smart work alone is not enough, unfortunately.
And even if you can master yourself 100% with perfect self-control, it really doesn't matter because you always have to deal with other different people and external events in which you have no control over anyway.
But you can reduce these annoyances, noises, and disturbances by focusing on your career and purpose in life which makes the effort and pain worthwhile. By going all in on a specific plan, everything else falls naturally in line with your path whether it's wrong or right.
The thing is, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't anyway and the game is always the same. Or like Jordan Peterson once said: "You're screwed no matter what you do".
This why I want to be alone by myself for the most part with nothing but peace of mind. This world is not worth fighting for, only yourself.
Beautifully put
reading your books certainly changed how i think without even realizing it i found my self acting unlike i would before gaining better understanding of myself thank u for that you are a genius
I've found Robert Greene as the greatest thinker of this time we are living in ,he has tremendous impacted my life positively , his speeches are eye opening.
I can't thank you enough Robert for the insights you have given me on understanding and coping with the complex, contradictory and perplexing schema of human interactions. You rock!
I love these cram sessions short, sweet, and right to the point.
Love this Robert Greene, Michael Porter, Pankaj Ghemawat, and Metternick are among my favourite strategists.
How privileged are we to have Robert Greene in this era with us, sharing his way of thinking on UA-cam. Thank you so much Robert Greene for expanding into UA-cam and for sharing your thoughts, you truly are revolutionary.
Hola Robert,
I want to tell you that i learn so much from you. Gracias.
May the Universe be with you always. Peace and light. 💖
Thank you Master Greene
This man is something else.. Wow..!!!
Thanks Robert!! Perfect timing for this to pop up 😉
God gave u to me..... And I'm very grateful. Always Love❤🙏🏾
Change the way you look at everything and stop being ignorant about sensing the world.
Thank you for saying that Robert. Really makes your books come alive.
I love the idea seeing you explaining weekly laws. Thank you.
Thank you Mr. Greene.
MR ROBERT.. YOU'VE CHANGED MY LIFE.. thank you very much I'll never forget you ❤️
Thank you! I’ve been better at not reacting every single time. I still get very triggered though and the only one who can get me this way is my husband. I have really bad trust issues from past relationships so I do realize that this is an issue with me because my husband hasn’t necessarily gave me a reason not to trust him. Is still very had to trust and the moment something doesn’t seem consistent I’m already panicking but keep it to myself but I also do start to be very short with him when talking to him. Like I said I’ve been getting better but there’s still so much work to do. I just hope that there is hope for me because is running my life!
Robert, thank you so much. You are heaven sent. These past 10 years was hell and your book on 48 laws became my guiding light. I read them as free pdfs but I will buy hardbound copies this year.
“ strategic heaven “ .. I fucking appreciate and Love this man
😫📢 such a Gem author
Robert would have made an exceptional mid evil king! love him. read all his books
He doesn't even know but he's my mentor I follow him
Thank you Sir, for all that you have given to this world.
would love a bookshelf tour! :)
Loving the videos. Thank-you for the amazing work you're doing Rob. Your books and words have helped me turn my life around!
Thank you sir for showing a right pathway by your thought ❤
Your books , talks and ideas are amazing . I like how you talk about life , power , strategy , and mastery . 🤝Thank you
My God. This is such a life changer. I want to apply this to my life
Thanks for the wisdom Mr. Greene, your book The 48 Laws of Power has been one of the best I've read.
Keep up the great work
Very true! Thank you Robert
That's why i love Robert.
Thank you Robert Greene.
I just ask myself "does my reaction bring me closer to my goal?". And it is very simple, if the answer is "no" then the reaction is meaningless.
The other part of it is the reaction to the life circumstances. We have something else here, it is not just a reaction to people's words. Here another thing will fit "if you are afraid of hit, you will always be reactive".
That is part of the natural instincts of the human condition.
Hey can you elaborate on "does my reaction bring me closer to my goal?"
@@luckycharm1212 every interaction has an underlying goal. What's your goal when you interact with your boss or your family member? First you should figure out what is the goal of interaction. You can have multiple goals as well.
Excellent. ThankYou for sharing.
@@operationblackbishop4785 Thank you! That's very helpful.
True. I've been called strategic on multiple occasions throughout my life but I could never really pin point what it is. There's this idea that being strategic means planning 1000 steps ahead but it's more about rational thinking and pattern recognition. Practical, broken down piece of advice. Smashed it Robert.
Very important, in an increasingly narcissistic world. Because the strategy many narcissists have, is to use you, against you.
What this gent calls, "step back" is well known and scientifically documented as "attentive distance" wich consist on this trait of being able to walk your attention away and to relativitize the object of avertion. Practice this, is just another mental muscle
I been a very reactive person for a long part of my life, I think I learn this from my close relatives. It got to the point where it lead to emotional burnouts and the kind of tactical hell that Robert is describing here.
Same
Hey Robert I'm coming to see u in san fransico in march!! I can't wait to meet u brother. Meeting you and having u sign my book is one of my bucket list goals in life. Glad I'm finally able to make it happen!
Thank you
Yes. I was the worst student in my negotiations class and made a ton of effort to get better, only to realize towards the end of the class I “won” every negotiation but no one wants to partner with me. Strategy is taking the future consequences into consideration, to realize there’s rarely a absolute win/lose in life.
@gfd5606 I'd say good 'strategy' includes consideration of future consequences, but that inclusion just makes for good 'decision making'. 'Future consideration' is not unique to 'strategy'. C'mon, can nobody define the word "strategy" in a meaningful way that is beyond 'decision making' and is not circular? I've asked Robert Greene, but he doesn't respond, so I assume he can't.
You are a great stratiger
Your books are what I was looking for when I was 13 ..
One day I ll make a strategy to meet you by chance;(
Impressive, TY 🦾🛞☂️
Great advice, great delivery. Love you man. Thank you
Thank you for your sharing on the topic. I will be better react with strategy.
Thank you so much Mr Greene.... u have been one of the most influential people in my life. Ur books have changed my perception in more than one ways. They r an eye- opener n is my go to place wenevr i am confused or baffled..... n have ended up getting better ideas than expected. Bless you sir.
When ever something makes me mad or excited. I think about how my day was going before that thing happened and how my day would had went if it didn't happen. That helps alot. For instance when a salesman tells you it's a limited offer and you start thinking I won't have it if didn't buy it now. Just think about how was your day without this piece of information and then you realise it's not important at all
Robert, your videos on UA-cam are utterly epic. I am very impressed. They serve as bite sized pieces that are easy to digest, as opposed to your written works which are far more dense. The only recommendation I would give, is perhaps get a high quality microphone. Thank you and keep it up!
Have all your books Sir Robert. Thank you.
Thank you Robert 😊 💓 ☺ 💗
Such a my idol robert greene❤
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
Yes! It is so true. Now I realised all these years I was only reacting. l am being late, but assume I should focus on this aspect too. Thankyou beloved Sir.👍
Awesome!!!! Thank u to dop us for 2023
The books behind are really excited to read him.
Thank your for your videos! 🙏🙏🌸🌸
Having 'options' is really about having knowledge of alternatives coupled with the experience and maturity to know probable outcome. Most people either don't have the knowledge (and so are cornered), have no imagination, or are too timid and weak minded to make an alternative decision to act differently. The key to tackling the unknown is to ask old people for their advice to pool their knowledge and to have courage to act alternatively.
Thank you ❤️ You're helping me grow into the person that I want to be and not some walking reaction :(
Totally loved it, really needed to hear and implement this.
Thank you Robert.
I would love to sift thru those albums and books.
شكرا لك 🤍🤍🤍🤍
No one can make me feel inferior without my consent 🎉
My favorite strategy in the last 10 years is not drinking 💫

Man You truuly know your craft so Masterfully, Glad to listen or read your words ...I am very Grateful Thank You Man Great job!!
Thank you so much Robert
Good metaphorical experience i've had in my own life comes from basketball: When you get passed the ball, your options are wide open. Once you start moving or dribble, you immediately shut down a plethora of options. That brief moment where you have options should not be squandered in basketball or in life.
Thank you Robert

*Strategic heaven* that sounds like something Robert Green would come up with hahaha my favourite contemporary writer!
Love mr Greene
The trouble with detachment Is that you risk being in a world of your own.
How do you mean?
The best in the world
Sound has improved
Thank you ‼️
Win through your reactions, never through arguments
OK papi! You are my mentor
❄️❄️❄️🌊🌊☔️
In SOF we referenced "tactical hell" by the phrase, "playing whack-a-mole," which described our not getting out ahead of the problem but just reacting to whatever symptom popped up.
So relevant for me right now!
Thank you for this wisdom ...
I learnt a lot about myself from watching this! Great advice!
I love to enter strategic heaven ❤️✨😊Thanks Robert for sharing! 💫
Sir thank you very much. You always fix my mood
