Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

I studied Ancient Greek in college and am always grateful that I did so. Also, Latin. I have to say that translating Thucydides teaches patience and intellectual tenacity. You will either master that page- long sentence or throw your Greek grammar out of the window. Classics used to be taught to instill mental discipline - I wish it were still the case. I would also mention The Gulag Archipelago as a book that has influenced my life. Castaneda is very important - he will be rediscovered. Thanks for this great video - I just discovered your channel! And your books are superb!

[@billthewhitebear]

@@CR-rm4iy By studying Ancient Greek you will learn inter alia and how to think better in your life and speak better your mother tongue. The grammar is incomparable. In China they are taught Ancient Greek. Greek monks taught Slavs their language and they still use greek letters in their alphabet. About employers, they seek clever people to work for them and not dumbs. Multilingualism is evidence of a smarter person. Try to learn Ancient Greek, a rather difficult language but it pays.

Castanada came clean about his books before he died - they were fiction. Don Juan, Don Genaro, et al, were figments of his imagination, fertilised by whatever he was smoking at the time.

"Hero With A Thousand Faces" is a masterpiece. It both opened up the joy of story and how they are built, and also made it difficult to read another book without being able to just "know" or figure out where the story is going.

In this I discovered the myth that described a childhood trauma that changed my life so yes this is my most important book. My attempts at explaining what happened to me have been rejected by Wikipedia and others. No one seems to want to know or believe the real awful meaning of this myth.

[@alfonsorodriguez6437]

Mine are: Paideia, the ideal of Greek Culture (it is over 1200 pages long but worth it) by Werner Yeager, Dune by frank Herbert (Full of quotable philosophy the author came up wit by himself) and The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli (a great book in practical politics and power). Honorable mention: Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein which short, to the point and if you can read between the lines it is actually about leadership not militarism and it makes great points about civic duty and Don Quixote (a story about fighting for ideals bigger than oneself at its central core and a critic of society in Spain at the end of the middle ages. These are the books that I first read in the late 1960's and really opened my mind.

This is the first video I’ve ever watched of yours. As soon as you said the word “weird” I had tingles up my neck and thought, “Carlos Casteneda!”just before you said it. My husband, his brother, and I all read the set of four books in the 70’s and discussed them for years. I’ve never heard anyone else mention them since. Give the rest of them a try. We still have our set, along with our Zen and the Art by Robert Pirsig. : )

Dear Robert, thank you so much for making this series of videos. I've been seeing your videos come up and I'm saving them for a nice brunch session to properly watch and enjoy them. I'm glad you mentioned Carlos Castaneda because it's been on my peripheral mind for a while now. I think the name came up a few times in some Aubrey Marcus podcast episodes as well and it piqued my interest. I think after you mentioning his work, it might be about time I delved into it as well. I'm excited to finally watch your other videos very soon. Best wishes Robert! 🙏

[@skinwalker_]

Nice episode I will definitely pick up the first two. I have ready Carlos Castanedas books and after that whole journey of reading them I came to the conclusion that what Don was trying to do was break us out of the illusion that what we see is what is and that there is so much more to life and spiritual life if we can only wake ourselves from this illusion. I was very moved by it. My wife did not think much of it so its definitely for the people who are seeking this knowledge even if its just a faint ember that needs fanning.

Was surprised, and very pleased, that you mention Castaneda; I read those first four books (that were the only ones around for a long time) when I was 15 , and kept reading them over and over (with others in between !) until I was twenty + , as they seemed to integrate into my very soul somehow, and were a whole philosophy in themselves. How he has been so dismissed by many as a charlatan is a shame, as they are very unique, and ''Don Juan '' drops some very astute comments about the human condition throughout all those books, whether the actual stories are true or not.

[@tylerhaugen9401]

Castaneda's books are amazing. Incredibly undervalued in terms of perception/power, the structure of reality.

[@Manny123-y3j]

I've said this before, but if I were to make a shortlist 10 books I think everyone should read, Robert Greene is the only person whose name would appear more than once. Hard to pick a favorite, but 48 Laws, Mastery, and Laws of Human Nature are all three some of the most insightful and lifechanging books I've every come across. Always appreciate hearing you share your thoughts, Robert.

The four books that influenced me the most (I have to use four, because two of them were about equal) were from least to greatest, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Tolstoy's War and Peace, and of course the Bible. I learned from Fahrenheit 451 the fact that censorship comes bottom up, and is organic---it's not some top down obelisk, but rather the will of a collective---F. Scott Fitzgerald taught me to use tone in my work, and that I could convey emotion through my text, even peace. And War and Peace, much like Fahrenheit 451---an often neglected thought in Western History---that collective wills move countries, not leaders. And the Bible, of course, is inspirational in all of my writing, especially involving my attitude toward war, with an acceptance of brutality when the necessity calls for it. Especially where Peace would be eradicated, if the war wasn't fought.

The Art of Seduction was THE book that had the most influence on my life, followed shortly by Mastery and The Years of Apprenticeship of Willhelm Meister.

[@ayumelove]

Why the art of seduction? What about it changed and infleicnes how you live your life?

[@andredelacerdasantos4439]

I was barely an adult when I read it and I was in love with a friend of mine at the time. The Art Of Seduction gave me the tools and frame of mind to get closer to him and although it was a lost case from the beginning (he's heterosexual, although that was still up for debate back then), we're best friends today. I guess the first chapter is indeed the most important (Choose the Right Victim). But The Art of Seduction was much more than that, it was my initiation into the real world. Robert's books have immeasurable value because they teach you the most important skills that you won't learn from anyone else. So much of our world revolves around doing what's right and what's acceptable, but everyone acts sly and manipulative, most of us unconsciously. Thanks to its seductive style of writing, The Art of Seduction allowed me to make amends with my own shadow and to own it and display it proudly, destroying any naive notions I still had about the world. After I finised studying it a couple of times, it set me on a rabbit hole of self development and investigation into human nature that would never have happened without it. I highly recomend the audiobook version, the narrator's voice is delicious! 🤭

[@rodneyconstance8541]

I knew that The Prince would have been one of those books in your top 3books that changed your life. I came across that book in 2016 in the U.K. and it did changed my life as well. I am alsoba big fan of all your books and i can see the similar partterns from The Prince but just in a modern version. But what thing i could say about that particular book is that it was the basis for shaping the world into what it is today. Almost all world leaders have adopted some of the principles laid out in the prince. But my personal view of this book is it is a dangerous psychological tool. And i say this because Machaville understood all to well human nature and the visceral need to domimate and control. Everyone has an obsession with power simply because they want to live their daily lives indulging in pleasure avoid pain. So what Machaville did what simply laid out certain principles to achieve this. But in reality even though the principles are effective and efficient it can and will lead one down a slippery slope to self sabotage or destruction. To really understand this, you have to truly take into account what was happening to Machaville during the period in which the book was written and for whom the book was intended. During that period of his life he was at his lowest point because of the constant shift of power from the wealthy families at the time such as Medici.. So, Machaville was being snubbed and was not in the best times of his life due to his alignment and affiliations with families who were on the otherside of power. And it can be understood that when he wrote the book which was initially meant to be gifted to the Medici family he probably did not had good intentions. Knowing that because of their thirst for power it would have eventually lead to their destruction giving him the last laugh or satisfaction. But unfortunately the family refused to accept the book as a gift and it eventually ended up in the wrong hands influencing many leaders along the passage of time which is why we are living in such a violent and dangerous world today. Because everyone who has been influenced by that book is solely obsessed with power by any means necessary. It doesnt matter the means, once the ends is justified. I firmly believe we should start rejecting such way of thinking and promote more books that spread love, empathy and compassion for our fellow brothers and sisiters. Only then we will see a change for the better with everyone living in harmony.

I havenot read the Prince, but Tahank for our Comment.

People always use the term Machavevellian, but not in a good way. I, personalyh think there are too many people using Machivallean who are in positions of Power in the World. I appreciate your comment- Rodney Constance. I will need to read the book myself to understand the issues though. I did have a friend who knew a lot about Philosophy and he was a big Fan of Thomas Hobbes who may have similiar ideas, but I guess more Moral.

Robert, I can't believe that you too was so influenced by Carlos Castaneda. Well, we are from the same generation. When I was young this series was my guilty pleasure. My high school history teacher like others here told me to read Castaneda. My strict parents would have been stunned. I didn't take many illicit drugs, but I didn't need to. Carlos took me on some of the wildest trips imaginable and it helped me to be more open with my own experiences.
