This man is gifted with the ability to articulate complex ideas into simple digestible information.

[@Gheerop]

or maybe he studied, he learned how to do it, he refined it many many times, till mastering it…?

[@aprilryan3208]

indeed

[@iamkatiejenkins]

@@Gheerop I think it may be a combination of the two-having both first hand experience AND the gift of being able to communicate what he’s learned in a way that resonates with people. There are plenty of people out there who may be brilliant at what they do, but are, in fact, kinda sucky at breaking down and articulating how they got to where they are.😃

[@lux637]

One of my favorite quotes: “Emotions are information, not instructions.”

[@loveishappiness7330]

Yes and Abraham Hicks decode the information 😊

[@TianieMitchell]

True but children do not know that that's what children need to learn that's what parents need to teach them by setting examples like for example I feel angry because of this, or I'm so happy because of this

[@noneofyourbusiness5433]

thats the best quote

[@VenusianStarseed]

This is how you can become more emotionally intelligent. It’s so hard to detach when you are triggered and your nervous system is in fight or flight.

[@AlwaysSpoilt]

Yes totally ❤

[@echase416]

This is why it’s important to build this awareness and coping skills ahead of time. Cope ahead.

[@FutureRobinHood]

So tell me then, how does one just shut off an overactive amygdala? After decades of abuse..... i'll wait.

[@v4-run]

After analyzing emotion and the cause of it, what to do next?

[@MseGg-tg3im]

Yesssss. Thank you Robert. And, the more I meditate, the stronger my detached observer.

[@kingdedede9135]

Detachment. That’s the right word.

[@mysticjen379]

I’ve done this since I was about 20 - it truly is a game changer 🙂

[@Tanu_here001]

Same technique when done with pen and paper often gives me more insight altogether.

[@soniaromero6958]

This has been my way to get my inner power back. Knowing that everything that I am experiencing is a projection of my mind. Finding what is behind. Never is the other person, always is me, and I am the light to dissolve the darkness.

[@user-zx4cp6kz4b]

Well put. Thanks for sharing.

[@mh22xv]

Beautiful

[@searchwikipediafallacy5567]

Sometimes it is the other person

[@babetweirdgirl4103]

Yes. I do this. Pretend you are your own best friend, there are two of you now. And talk with yourself in your own head. "Girl, being snappy with other people is so not helpful right now." "I know, but it sucks, this thing happened and it was my fault and it pisses me off." "Everybody makes mistakes, let's go make a nice dinner and think about forgiving ourselves maybe." "Ok, I'll try."

[@TheKingTywinLannister]

Yes. Me too. And not lying to yourself same time not being too harsh

[@andrew691]

Same and now diagnosed with schizophrenia😂

[@TheKingTywinLannister]

@@andrew691 it could be good thing. It’s not always bad. You have to make that decision yourself if it is useful or not.

[@Notactiveatalllll]

I needed to hear this, I am so glad I read your book law of human nature. Today I was broken up with on my girlfriend and I was pretty irrational for a minute but I had to stop and realize I am feeling this way because I am afraid not being heard or being alone. So i collected my feelings and thoughts and decide to write it down so I can analyze and do some shadow work later on after work ✨ And we also made up for it and now I know I must improve myself a lot more than I thought Thank you so much Robert Greene you changed my life 2 years ago.

[@MeanEileen916]

I really am glad I discovered Robert Greene. He presents ideas in a way that are understandable, intelligent, insightful, and relevant.

[@amazing_ambika]

This man is able to put to words what I've been doing my entire life; which is over two decades.

The law of awareness

[@daniellee1722]

Past failures had me feeling down the past 2 weeks but I'm good now. There will be future failures so taking it on the chin and not giving up will lead to success.

[@venessatalbert9232]

I usually am able to do that. However, I had a small melt down when something broke and I tried everything in my power to fix it and felt helpless and defeated because my beloved husband Gerald wasn't there to fix things around the house like he usually does. He passed away last year and I've been lost ever since. I felt like a small lost child crying for their parent. Thank the Lord our 19 yr old son heard me crying and stepped in to assess the situation and he fixed it. He hugged me afterwards and had to help me get into bed so I could calm down. I'm still crying!😭

[@blueberriesrfine5538]

Oh dear. I feel for you, that must be very hard. However, even though your son is 19, don't put him in the position to care-take you. It's very scary and uncomfortable for children to feel like they have to "make Mom okay" He also needs support right now. It was his Dad who passed away.

[@deckearns]

Your son is beautiful. So are you. Lean on each other and get through this together. I can't imagine how hard this must be. You are way stronger than I am. ❤

[@daphneweldnichols3846]

One step at a time - we all mourn and heal differently - your experience was like dominos falling in a cascade - I’m sure your son will never forget how he was able to soothe you - you’re helping to build a man - a kind, sensitive and strong young man - do you have any rose quartz crystals? They really helped me when my brother died - I had them around my neck over my heart - wrapped them in copper - they changed color - became very dark as I healed - Reiki Energy Healing - Use whatever your Religious/ Spiritual beliefs to the max - God has a plan - Breathe and Trust. Love and light

[@queenchiomaofficial]

Yes so true sometimes there’s a deeper reason behind the feelings that we feel and it’s worth analysing.

[@Chromosome999]

Absolutely 💯 self reflection can get you a very long way! Don’t ever let your self sabotage a great relationship or something good by not taken that step back and looking at your own faults ❤

[@christinehallfeldt4280]

Yes most def beneficial. Especially as an infp personality type. Writing down helps too to untangle emotions as personally I can experience too much and then it all just turns into one blob of crappiness and not understanding why 😊

[@noelbrown6771]

Emotions are like our internal sensors or alarms if you will. Take a moment to address and assess them. Don't just suppress them.

[@wandab172]

I have learned to do just that. Analyze why I am truly feeling a certain way or triggered. It’s amazing what you discover and then healing begins & continues within you…..I explain this very thing to people all the time and they look at me like I’m crazy, just ignore it, or don’t want to hear it. 😢

[@lastlastlast-rt3nu]

greene is my favorite author

[@feralmode]

this is pretty much the core of buddhist philosophy

[@deepenwadhwa4027]

Which came from Hinduism. Read the Bhagavad Gita for proof.

[@cosmictreason2242]

Don't need either of those, Christianity explains it better and gives better advice. And is also true. Fringe benefit

[@Roger_Ramjet]

True???? Yeah ok

[@feralmode]

@@cosmictreason2242 Christianity teaches detachment from emotions? what are you smoking, friend? this isn't a competition by the way. i'm not positing one being better than the other. just different belief systems have an emphasis on different teachings. this is not a threat to your christian beliefs, friend. I come from a christian background myself. have a great day. allahu akhbar.

[@feralmode]

@@deepenwadhwa4027 maybe it did, maybe it didn't but it was definitely one of buddha's core tenets. not sure if it was so central to hinduism - i'm no expert. but i've been to sarnath (the 'birthplace of buddhism') which is actually in India a short trip from varanasi so i wouldn't be surprised if they're from the same root.

Robert Greene all his books 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥you have changed my world 🤯🤯🤯😢

[@rbruce5270]

A minute of rage can undo a lifetime of diligent effort. Self-control is self-preservation. Most of us won't look back on the moments we acted in anger as among our finest. Do not act when the tide of rage flows in. Wait for it to go out. Then act with reason and proportion.

[@tangina5172]

Detached.. I will try.. thank you

[@vivianp5962]

It never gets resolved if you think about it to much, rather present or your future. Stop go with the flow.

[@ira4600]

I agree that thinking about a feeling isn't the way to go

[@martingab9166]

My take on it is that it's not merely a question of thinking about your problem in circles , but just to recognize it from "outside the box" and that will indeed make you feel like youre on top / in control of the current feeling. Acknowledging something happens within is not easy and I believe it calms you down in some sense. At least from my experience (even unconsciously maybe)

[@teresadvorak6145]

I always ask God to help me deal with it, to get it under control & understanding, & what I should do or not do about it 🤔❤❤❤

[@montyi8]

Getting this awareness to analyze these thought origins is a different feeling and power in itself. Meaning instead of Robert explaining this technique what if if you understood and able to deduce this technique yourself!

[@ZENOBlAmusic]

Think objectively in the third person! This approach will rescue you and equip you to manage challenging situations! Do not let your emotions rule you, because then you lose the plot! Wise managerial skill is to do situational analysis!

[@theforensicbadass]

You're such a badass robert. Thank you so much for all of your inspiration throughout the years. Ive become stoic AF!

[@didierbaudot]

Trying to give it a place with facts is excellent to control negative feelings

[@johnlopez7529]

Excellent advice. If heeded, I believe it will increase my EQ, emotional quotient, intelligence. Thanks, one of my mentors!

[@nzingahoney]

My late dad Dr Morgan Job was the first person to start me on this path. He used to say "Man, know thyself" and "the unexamined life is not worth living" and "think it through" and things like that. But he stopped short of anything emotional except to say I needed to be DISPASSIONATE. Robert though, he breaks it down. I guess my dad was a bit too advanced for me.

[@MSSHARIII]

"The unexamined life is not worth living". Love this.

[@janetpattison8474]

The detached viewpoint of soul is 360 degrees. It has abilities that the mental and emotional bodies don’t have. If we let the mind & emotions run amok they will make a mess of things if triggered. Soul will give me clear info, or a warning, & often I ignore it, not realizing that my emotional self is in control & is setting me up - it’s self sabotage. Soul is the higher true self, & it should be in control & “driving the bus”. The 5 passions of the mind; lust, vanity, greed, attachment and anger can easily prevent us from switching to that detached viewpoint of SOUL, that will save us from another painful, costly, or awful lesson.

[@alexarai3538]

Thank you Robert for your words of wisdom. This is so golden ; )

[@Shaun023]

Metacognition, what a beautiful thing! ❤

[@carromboard3451]

Self analysis is the single most important way to change within and then change the external outcome.

[@rrom369]

I do this since my childhood.. I am very empathetic and with this mind set I have never been able to understand myself. I often do things which empowers even my enemies and always on losing side😢

[@deepika3933]

I do this. Nobody taught me but my own conscience.

[@TheCursedHonestTruth]

Frequently there's NO TIME to stop and ponder! When the shit is hitting the fan, people are too busy to take a break, stop and reflect. They can feel under attack. Maybe they ARE under attack. They can be put on the spot. They can be far too busy to be able to stop and reflect. It's fine if you're a professor or theorist sitting in your office. But most of us don’t have that luxury.

[@goddesst5405]

I’ve always done this since I was a child.

[@Lemtai28]

I saw an Andrew Huberman short yesterday saying pretty much the exact same thing, but in more scientific terms 🤣. Notice what gives you dopamine release and cortisol. He was focused more on what makes you happy and analyzing it.

[@isabelleella7623]

One more single and most powerful thing to add to the list

Very true , l learned this from Osho many years ago, its about the Ego

[@Salamander1269]

A few minutes ago I watched Robert Greene saying how important it is to be able to detach from your emotions. Now which is it, to analyse or to detach. I think both are. To master the control of your emotions is a great thing, to know when to do what.

Know yourself and you will never lose. Being able to control yourself, to conquer yourself means you have the strength to conquer your world

[@sanchi7410]

Processing emotions is something I've learnt and it had helped me so so much

[@Mmmmkaaay]

It's always about me. It's never about them. Which is great because it means I have the power to change my thought about the circumstance. If someone cuts in line, I can decide it's because they're in a hurry and give them grace, instead of getting mad and indignant.

[@zion367]

Or you can realise that this anger is trying to tell you that you have to speak up and not let it slide, but do so in an assertive manner. We are to be graceful amd thats different then becoming doormats.

[@ReflectorCara]

Yes - inquiry is the door to freedom - but no one can open it for us, we must turn the key & unlock it ourselves…

[@TianieMitchell]

Yes take a moment and it might be a strong one so I need to not respond to just the emotion that's what children do just analyze it to find out why it's so strong it helps that as you grow and progress in life are emotions are there to teach us things and we have to pay attention to that that's what learning to communicate is for

[@nexusk9548]

As my sensei Robert said , everyday is war , every conversation is a battle, so think , analyse , improvise , plan , and nail it . That's the art of green 🍏

[@jasonbarlow1448]

Zen Master Here. I can tell you with absolute certainty, from years of mountainous isolation, robe wearing, meditation, and selfwork, the source of all our feelings is "the other guy." it's never the self. the other guy is the source of feelings. this topic will be covered in more depth in my upcoming book -- I'm Angry Because Other People Suck, Duh!

It gets even easier when you can recognize those thoughts and "take them captive and make them obedient to Jesus Christ". Iraq combat vet PTSD: 7 years of all kinds of approaches with the VA and other institutions. And honestly my experience with the VA was really good. But the meds and therpay didnt do jack squat. At times it made me worse. I would identify the thought, logically track it to its source, identify the source of the thought, and decide to either reframe or rid myself of harmful thoughts. Thought after thought after thought. But one year of diving into scripture and leaning on Jesus and I'm living my best life hands down. The Bible is basically Cognitive Processing Therapt(CPT). Excelt CPT leaves out the most crucial component: Jesus Christ!
