      The problem with lot of the self help books and videos also religion that forces ppl to look inside. Is that the the true hardcore narcs and envious ppl won't look at these videos or books or seek religions that force ppl to look in. For society to work properly we all have to look within and aim to improve.

      That’s transparent of you and I admire you doing that. Ngl, I can get envious too. When it comes to social media, sometimes you can’t help but compare. And it really isn’t all what it seems,some people are paying for trips with credit cards, in debt, working basic jobs that they make seem to be high end, having parents help out with rent, depressed, so much more too.

    Great interview, thank you.
    I got into Soto Zen Buddhism in the early 1990s. I highly recommend reading Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind_ for anyone interested in starting a meditation practice.
    The first chapter or so instructs the basic technique (posture, breathing, etc.). If, like me, you can't sit in the full lotus position with both legs crossed, don't let that stop you. For that matter, don't let any physical issues hold you back. If you're breathing, the practice is possible; if you're not, well . . .
    Anyway, the book is a free PDF download or in print and on Audible.

    Kudos also to the generous interviewer, Dr. Rangan Chatterjee, for offering and modeling such deep, evocative listening and allowing Robert Greene to share in unimpeded, sweet flow, welcomed and uninterrupted by the interviewer's ideas and reactions. How brave and compassionate to yield to the speaker and not needing to evidence your own impressive experience, education and insights, which might feel unacknowledged, but we viewers can vibe with your high quality, sir.

    the parts of the video as i saw them (if anyone needs a map to these 89 minutes)
    - narcissism and envy and other 'bad' qualities -> picking up cues from others and feeling them (nonverbal communication) -> how ? about his meditation practice
    - irrationality and emotions - (emotions aren't words), you can become addicted to emotions (even anxiety or depression)
    - perspective + law of shortsightedness
    - we're being affected by others
    - is he still fascinated by others? irrationality of people
    - tweet "everything that happens to you is a form of instruction to you, if you pay attention"
    - unhappy? make things hard for ourselves to change things and get the needed urgency

    The comments about people being roaring lions from behind the curtain reminded me of the scene in wizard of oz, when the wizard gets found out. If social media had transparency like we have in the street then it would possibly help people be more graceful. I think the curtain plus the written word being powerful is an underestimated power a lot of us don't use carefully enough.

      I did the whole street preaching thing and used to be a hardcore christian but I still felt empty Inside. So I searched for God in Islam and Mormonism and Santeria/voodoo and drug's and alcohol but I became more Lost and was on the streets once. It wasn't until I hit Rock bottom and gave up on Life, and told God that if this is what God's wants for and if God wants me to suffer, I told him 'okay' and I surrendered and then and only then is when God spoke to me and touch me and my Life changed instantly!! God is nothing like how the religions claim. God is Bigger than religion and bigger than The Bible and Bigger than The Quran.

    I got rid of methadone/amphetamines/lyrica/half a dozen psych meds/benzos/soda/social media and now porn and switched from smoking cigarettes to vaping (I plan to quit vaping eventually, too), and my life is immensely better as a result. A friend of mine told me yesterday that everybody in the recovery community in my area has been saying that I've been doing really well and they've all taken notice of it. Those joke comments "I was lazy and drank and the rest I wasted" is funny, but truly you do not want to live like that. Constant movement, exercise, with one day off from all of it to indulge in laziness per week, has been a good way for me to balance things. Today, I only drink caffeine, consume tech on my computer during my time off, vape and take 2 medications, and I'm doing so much better.

    I found out when I was a teenager that if I paid close enough attention to foreigners who were speaking to each other in their own language, I could decipher what they were talking about. I never studied other languages, so I found that fascinating. And it puzzled them, too, when I could help them out with directions to places they were trying to find. I did this often with the foreign exchange students who came to the US.

    Incredible and very timely chat as I’ve lost my
    Drive and motivation and cannot work out why, this has helped me; identify why I’ve been miserable, frustrated, angry, envy etc as well as off track with my fitness (no real goal) it’s because I’ve stopped Meditating many months ago restarted my 5Am Club Jan 1st 2022 and lasted 200days. Before having to get extra work (to pay the bills) and got very tired- and couldn’t maintain/sustain my routine. This interview has helped me recognise that I’m missing my 20 mediation (in my 5am club). So that’s me back (testing my 5am C tomorrow morning) prior to Jan 1 2023!!! I’m back- thank you both!! Also the last Question eg final words has connected to the urgency and high motivation- so a great end of Year interview. Roberts book is now on my wish list and my first book Dr C (new
    Book) has arrived for Xmas (half way through at the mo- fantastic) and thank you for the game and life changing podcasts and work it’s incredible 🙏 Si Surrey 🇬🇧

      Isn’t that funny? Every time I’m off track, I can trace it back to abandoning my core routines that got me to the better place in the first place. Somehow life pops up (whether it be more work, family emergency, kids needing more from us, etc etc) and I tell myself I can skip parts of the morning routine or I deserve to rest rather than driving to the gym. Then, not long after that, I have abandoned all my routines and gained 20lbs. 😩
      Now that I wholeheartedly accept that I MUST protect my core routines like i would protect my kids from a threat, I still don’t have *desire* to put one foot in front of the other … to get back on the proverbial wagon after this last 18 months of crushing blows.
      So your comment struck a cord with me 😅 I’m trying to adopt the belief that “I don’t need motivation or desire. I just need discipline.” But knowing that and DOING that are still different things. 😵‍💫
      Just wanted to send my best wishes to you. 🎉❤

(sorry, dont know your first name) I read your open-hearted comment and sincerely hope everything is better, and if I can give you my 2 cents without knowing more about your situation, lack of drive is usually due to not having an end goal or exit goal. Again, I dont know your particular situation but maybe this can help: Picture yourself in 5 years and try to reverse engineer your way to there (not how you will get there but how you got there) Hope it helps :)

      @@lauralou4852 apologize for intruding, but I read your comment just after reading SIG's and it deeply saddens me to read about your struggle as I can relate, and as you said, discipline is the key but also as you wisely said is easier said than done. One exercise that has been useful to some of my clients is this: Picture your day, your whole routine on a normal day, now on a sheet of paper draw a sine wave (like a laying down S), draw it big enough so you can write on it. Now write your daily activities along the sine wave, and put the things that make you feel good on the high part of the sine and those that make you feel low on the lower part. You would notice the good and bad moments in your day (you can also put smiley faces on them) and more or less at what time they are happening. Now that you have a map of your day try to insert your exercise routine at a time slot that works for you, or maybe you can get creative with your day if you have some restrictions. Is just a visual aid but hope it helps :)

    @Ryan Holiday I have been listening to your podcasts and have started reading your books. I’m not a traditional philosopher, but I enjoy listening and reading a variety of topics that allow insight into the human condition and consciousness. This specific podcast made me think of another book I’ve recently read called The Places That Scare You by Pema Chodron. The term for the practices of a level of stoicism and self awareness but which offers empathy and compassion is called “bodhichitta” in this book. This is a warrior practice in Buddhism. I hope this adds to the conversation here.

    I started my journey fueled with passion to achieve goals (career) that i desired in my life more than 1 year ago. Lately, the previous 2 weeks was the end of that journey as i was exposed to many things in life that are so contradicted with my belief and goals I'd set before. Now I accidentally find this podcast that seems to be a possibility to help me with my depression i'm having right now. Hope it can solve it.

    I was struck by Robert's observations about envy, and how no one will admit to it. Well, what I've noticed about myself is that my lack of envy is not normal, and not a good thing. Envy can be a powerful motivator. It isn't necessarily negative. Envy that causes a person to undermine someone else is poisonous, but envy that motivates people to become more excellent and outshine others is not a bad thing. Or at least I don't see why it should be.

    I can't imagine who these people think they are, deciding that any life is less worthy than others. There is no single formula for living. People are social animals except those who are not. People need a sense of purpose except those who don't. It's not helpful to listen to people when one isn't interested in the particular person. It may be more useful for some people to more honest and let others know they are not interested and would rather think about themselves at the moment. Humans are a complicated species with a range of experiences and drives. It only makes people feel sad and displaced to keep harping on about how to fit in. Not everyone needs to feel good or to change. For some people there's a huge benefit in honouring every feeling as it arises and sticking with it through a deep process. Proselytizing that something is wrong with someone can be demoralizing and lead to persistent anxiety. There is nothing wrong with anyone and reinforcing their sense that they are defective doesn't help. Fair enough to respond to people who ask for help. But, does it help to join them in feeling they are defective?

    This was an interesting conversation. Unusually I noticed I was a little annoyed with the flow of the interview, like Dr Chatterjee was often not responding to what Mr Greene had said but moving onto another point. This lead me to wonder what it was in my own life that it was triggering. Maybe an inability to fully listen and respond to people because I am distracted with my thoughts?
    Thank you both for an interesting video.

The instructors voice is very soothing and pleasant to listen to. I am easily able to sit successfully through the entire CD, and for quite some time after. I cannot adequately express how tremendously helpful this CD has been on my spiritual journey!! Two thumbs up and 10 stars!

    I am aware of my dark side had to go into it because I was a victim of being involved with a cult unknowingly, was guided by a close partner. His mom tongue kissed me unwilling and sucked my life, after that I was broken mentally. They never thought I would prevail. but God spoke to me that I would overcome. He is putting me on a mission to speak about My Life.

    Robert’s point at the end where he says that when you’re young you should keep in mind that you don’t have time, and as a result you won’t get comfortable and complacent, is correct, and it’s something I follow. However, I have to point out that it does create anxiety within me, where if I feel I’m stagnating, I get obsessed with thinking of my next steps to move forward and then ultimately take action. I think Robert would agree with that if pointed out, as he said in the interview that he himself faces a lot of anxiety. This isn’t a criticism of his point, but I feel it’s an important byproduct of that mindset to point out

    but i don't let it eat me alive, and i don't let it dominate my thoughts. but it's def there. seems crazy immature to me for someone to exclaim they *aren't* envious of anyone or anything.
