I love that Robert is wearing that shirt . he was wearing that shirt when he had a stroke , notice the lines on the shirt where it is sewed back together,, the doctors tore that shirt to get better access. he got the shirt back and wears it as a reminder of the gift of life

[@Arkhkalos]

It was a Stroke he had, not a heart attack. But that shirt is amazing. I love that his wife sewed it back together and now he wears it kinda like an inspiring battle scar.

Amen

[@KR-ei2fw]

I appreciated Chris allowing Robert to speak and us listen.

[@simonotruba]

Sure, but I still think Chris could have gotten more out of Robert. I don’t care about the color of Chris’s product. Missed opportunity in my opinion. Chris really wanted to say something clever yet he couldn’t even get the name of the book out. I have definitely heard better interview with Robert.

[@Jacobfitzner]

I’ve always believed that pursuing power was something to avoid-but recently, I’ve realized it’s not about rejecting power, it’s about how we pursue it. Instead of taking from others, I’ve focused on building people up to strengthen my own foundation. Grateful for the wisdom Chris and Robert share in this conversation-it’s given me a new perspective on my path. Excited to keep learning and growing!

[@0ptixs]

As we get older whether we like it or not, we're given power and authority. Some more than others, we must be humble enough to accept this and be afraid of the consequences of poorly managed authority. I think the ability to harness fear is one part, maybe the primary one, of wisdom

[@jarad4621]

Correct

While listening to this, I just realized that I always spent time by myself as a young child, latchkey kid, other traumas involved… I would play with Barbies, I would wash their hair and dry it, and style it and mess it up and do it all over again. I would make a little bowl with Shampoo in it, and one with water only. I made basically a little Salon, not even knowing what I was doing or realizing that I was doing this. When I was 19 years old I decided to go to Beauty school because it sounded easy… 38 years later I am still a successful hairdresser… Super successful! My life is fun, easy and effortless, and I feel like I’ve never worked a day in my life. I’ve been able to utilize my LOTS of free time and money to do other things, investments, and passive income and such… My life is great! I always appreciate, your content! I love Robert Green as well. I’m actually reading a book of his currently …The Daily Laws. Thank you!❤

Robert Greene's books 48 Laws of Power and Laws of Human Nature really helped me develop myself in the context of personal and work life.

[@profetik777]

Im 20 minutes in and Robert's words are sinking in my soul, stirring things up - bc I currently feel like he felt those years ago - searching for purpose in life calling, feeling out of sync with those around me etc...very soulful opening convo.

[@rachelyoung2363]

Robert Greene is one of a kind. I could listen to him all day long. If anyone could list all the books he recommends to read that are his favourites I would appreciate it :) He’s one in a million so knowledgeable, interesting and humble in my opinion. Great listen.

I'd never heard of Roberto Calasso, thanks. I get so much from these talks, from reading tips to validation that is lacking in daily life. All the best to Robert Greene, whose 48 book has been on my reading list for a couple of years (my list is long, I am short - on time 😢)

[@Photik]

What an interesting character Rob is. I've not read his work, but I plan to now. His willingness to highlight the realities of psychology without apology is very refreshing. Another amazing job on the visuals too, stunning.

I’ve had this idea to build an ai tool for KZbin where if you are watching a podcast and you hear something you want to remember or save. You can have it highlight those seconds and cut it from the episode as well as transcribe it to text. I’m often times driving and hear something I want to remember and never can go back and find it or remember what episode it was from, etc. so a tool like that would be extremely helpful to me.
