Super nice interview Sean. I just found you. Subscribed 💫🌎💫

I thought I was replying but my response came up in the general comments below. Great Interview Sean Thank You!

[@mellisamabhikwa2630]

I've watched a couple of Robert Greene's interviews and what strikes me is how humble he is. Humility really is a trait of the intelligent.

True but is not a law of power 😉

Robert Greene is a game changer. Completely re-evaluated my life after reading his books and I can’t get enough so thank you for the interview

[@abhijeetaanand2334]

Which book of his you recommend,as there are so many.

[@gracefitzgerald2227]

@@abhijeetaanand2334 depending on your age. If you’re very young I’d say Mastery is a great start. All of his books are amazing. I fortunately have lived a peaceful life when at 45 I was crashed into reality and the 48 LOP really opened up my naive eyes. ❤️

[@abhijeetaanand2334]

@@gracefitzgerald2227 thankyou. I didn't have much hope that you would reply after a year. You are so good! I am in early 30's with a lot of self doubt and insecurity because of a never ending struggle. What would be your recommendations for getting over my insecurities? Thankyou again. You are sweet😃 Your parents were indeed wise to name you grace.

[@gracefitzgerald2227]

@@abhijeetaanand2334 Wow 😊I think it’s safe to say you’re the sweet one. Early 30s is still very young ( to me). Mastery is a great book about filling your soul with passion and people’s stories that worked ever so hard to commit themselves to feeling alive by immersing themselves into what their idea of a good life should be. Sorry for the run on sentence but I hope that made sense. My insecurities were more about dealing with people when I felt I lost my confidence. Seduction and LOHN really helped me look for signs whether a person was a waste of time or genuine. LOHN is really dense and not a book you can read in a few days. I have a terrible lack of focus and I had to be present while I read the brilliance that emerged from the pages. 48 Laws was my first book I read. It’s a good warm up before some of the others as the history is exciting and page turning while giving you added wisdom without realizing it.

There’s a big difference between being reactive and being responsive. Love Robert Green! Thank you for this podcast.

Robert Greene is truly empowering us. The wisdom is all there in history, philosophy, art and psychology, but RG has synthesised it and shared these essential insights. He is a truth teller.

[@michaelmcgee335]

This man is wise, I believe my personality has improved by reading and listening to people like Robert Greene, he’s done more for me than Jordan Peterson though I’ve learned from him as well among some others.

[@RanmaSyaoranSaotome]

You are an excellent interviewer and listener Sean. Thank you for letting Robert speak uninterrupted, which is much unlike many other hosts.

[@irishelk3]

I’m on my third of his books. Thing is though, a fake smile is a fake smile, you don’t have to give them time to prepare, you’ll just know if they’re happy to see you or not, even before you learn about facial muscles and body language, it’s in their voice, maybe they’re really talking to you. And once I learned about passive aggression, I scanned back through my life and realised a whole bunch of people were doing that, most of them don’t know they’re doing it either.

Anger comes from the inability to express myself perhaps as a child. If I express anger as an adult it’s bc I now have the freedom to say and feel what I want

[@roderickjacksonsrtvshow6048]

Damn....I have the same problem

[@michellehall2715]

I enjoy listening to Robert he's thoughtful in the way he speaks and carries himself. Very insightful.

[@Brandy3319]

Thanks so much for this ~ I’ve struggled with juggling between being “authentic” and being “fake”. I always thought that being fake was a bad thing, while simultaneously being punished for being honest. How naive I was.. LoL!! .... But this interview got me motivated to get rid of my black and white thinking so that I could live more fully.. Thanks again ~

[@KitKatTaleb]

How do you mean? I sort of have the same issue

[@katscandance]

@@KitKatTaleb being “fake” can be good or bad behavior. It can be bad if you’re being fake simply for your benefit. It can also be good cause you aren’t reacting/acting through your emotions. It all depends on the situation and the degree of how “fake” you’re being. You should be “fake” during a job interview. You should be “authentic” when you’re trying to form a true connection with someone you care about.

I'm so envious of you Sean that you got to have such a good interview with Robert... lol. Honestly it made me so emotional seeing him talk about his near death experience.

There is an Episode of Impact Theory I was watching and GET THIS... Our brain is designed to avoid conflict. (Thats why we worry about stuff so much) They went on to talking about when we LOSE things and its in our hand... "If we are looking for something that is ACTUALLY IN OUR HANDS, Our brain will DEACTIVATE the nerves in our Hands to avoid being WRONG." Which made me think of a time I "lost" the remote, but it was in my HAND. So its not you. Or Us. Its nature. I THINK it was maria forleo... But Im NOT sure who Tom interviews. But there is an Episode that goes DEEP into Neuro Sciences like this

Robert Greene has profound knowledge

Couple of thousand books will do that to you 😁 Don't think i have Finnished 3 books in 38years 😏 His words are golden nuggets it takes me about 4 hours to comprehend a 1 hour KZbin video. True story

[@banderas2000]

i remember reading that words distract. being around those who speak a different language is a great tool. you rely on the real communication body language, tone, gestures, eyes , voice ect. and your not distracted by words. i love it. but can be hard as well . until you start to learn the language. but it can be helpful to dealing with people who speak your language beacuse you learn oh.. ok they didnt' really mean that ..or saw their true feelings.

[@SA-cb2it]

I am that person who notices even a fleeting twitch and i have realised that that makes me uncomfortable on video calls because i get into noticing facial expressions and it thows me off, while face to face that happens naturally. I do think that you have to adjust how you talk to certain people to get things done else it just wont happen. you have to talk to people in their languge whatever they understand,figuratively and literally. And it does make you feel like an actor but I think that is the part of being a human.

[@VulcanXIV]

So it's almost like small-talk, but more akin to a half genuine conversation. To yourself it's small-talk, but to them, you are on their wavelength/spirit/mind and hitting it off. I'm just desperate to learn how to communicate in a broad way. I want to seduce, I want to charm, I want to listen (which according to Robert is how to seduce, by listening and observing their needs and wants). I guess I'm just going to have to read his books before I start rummaging around any further.

[@SA-cb2it]

@@VulcanXIV I have never read his book. In my opinion, people are different, they are brought up with different values and in different cultures, but inherently everyone is same, everyone wants to be respected, wants to be seen, wants to be accepted, loved and cherished, so in my opinion if you can give that to people then you are magnetic, people are just drawn to you. So, if you want to be 'seductive' it is a good start to listen. In my observation, people get caught up in wanting to talk and give out information about themselves so others can 'see' them and respect them because of that, the story of identity basically, so you may want that too ie the need to be seen and heard, so if you can keep that aside and just let the other person express themselves then listening part is taken care of, but that doesn't mean you are letting them talk but are not paying attention to what they are saying, responding to them at crucial moments acknowledging / agreeing and respectfully disagreeing or foregoing disagreement at certain points completely is very important part of listening. Disagreeing without offending or making other person feel small is an art. At the end of the conversation, other person should feel like they got to say what they wanted and they were not judged for any of it, it gives a sense of comfort to them. But it has to be genuine, because people can tell when it is not sincere and I think inculcating genuine compassion within yourself solves that. In my opinion, there is no alternative to sincerity. To make people feel heard and seen is to actually hear them and see them.

[@ramspeedmusic]

AA 4th and 5th steps have you write down your resentments of people, places, and things then find your part in it, and what you can do to change. Self Humility is one of the most powerfully transformative methods to promote positive change in your life. Who would’ve known that a bunch of drunks came up with it. 😅 All jokes aside, the lotus can’t grow without the mud. The funk can set you free.

[@enaukara5535]

Being introverted thrust into the spotlight, I find it very hard to adjust . Thank you.

[@farahshabnam4626]

@50:42 I agree with you. If i see a person acting nice with everyone including those who are evil, I will stay away from that person or dont engage with them if it doesnt fulfil my self-interest. It happens quite a lot in the Women-world. I have been taken advantage of that kind of person a lot in my life.

You could be right. Fear is a big one but lack of control can be destructive. You can be face fear. But you can't "face " envy. You can channel it tho. Which is what is being described. Never stop learning.

[@brucewane8852]

In what order do you read his 📚s

[@gracefitzgerald2227]

Bruce Wane . I’m surprised no one answered you. It kind of depends how old you are. I however started with 48 laws, then 33 strategies of war, then Seduction, Human Nature, and because I’m older I found Mastery as a little more of a boost, but if your younger it’s probably more inspiring. 50th Law is great as an audio book because Robert Greene is the narrator. Good luck.

I was just in therapy today . He said , okay .. you just spent the hour speaking about the problems of people in ur environment . I hope we can address your issues next time ..

[@VulcanXIV]

From what I understand, that seems to a form of passive aggressiveness. Naturally I'm no therapist, but I feel that based on what people like Jordan Peterson say, you'd think that taking that hour and pointing it out to you as a sign of X, Y and Z about YOU, regardless of what you talked about, would be helpful. Instead he just wants you to do his job for him? Lol. Find a therapist who can actually work on your character flaws, rather than just try to sit there and moralize and preach regarding your actions.

body language can be deceiving as well. Also humans are very bad at interpreting an individuals body language because often times we cannot see the micro expressions and we do not know that person's specific baseline body language in regards to each specific set of situations and environments and people they react to. Body language interpretation is a tough skill to learn.
