if it wasn't for Robert Greene I don't think I've ever would have really managed getting ahead in my career. This is also the knowledge that nobody teaches you just like financial literacy, manners, communication, and general psychology. I just want to say I do really appreciate the content you put out here from all the great people you interview and for being such a great human being yourself. Listening to this podcast each morning while I'm on my way to work and at work is really, really helpful in my life. And I can definitely imagine the impact you're having on everybody else's lives with the content you put out. Thank you very much again. 💯👍🏾👍🏾 Stay blessed 🙏🏾

@Meatriderphobic I'll take a hot masculine body and a courageous but kind sense of self over an overpriced bag. I have no problem with people making money, though, and a lot of it if they want, because we do need to survive and even leave money for family to survive. But relationships matter most. People over profits matter most. When we're dying, we're thinking of people we love and know.

I truly appreciate this interview because the interviewer not only asked questions that allowed the author to go deeper into his own philosophy, he also questioned or “challenged” his ideas in such a polite way. As an interviewer, you’re not supposed to be so starstruck that you take everything the interviewee says at face value. GET DEEPER into their perspectives!! Great job. AND he let him finish his thoughts/sentences! Super rare in interviews.

[@Alphacentauri819]

@@jelizabethpetrie6656when I read that comment...I wasn't even thinking for a second "wounded" due to his stroke. I was thinking wounded due to his obvious dismissive avoidant attachment style. Maybe he has overcome it some, but I wonder. He's textbook DA. From the saying his childhood was great, yet sharing obvious emotional disconnect (unavailability) and the distance of his parents. It's hard for most DA's to see...because how can you describe something that wasn't there? Overt abuse and neglect are obvious, more in your face, in realms of attachment wounding. Covert emotional neglect isn't. As a child you don't know what you've missed. So many DA's describe their childhood as great, fine, nothing wrong...and as you listen, you hear distante, loneliness, and deeper and underlying distrust of others. Robert has all those.

[@AshmehMeyer-cm2hi]

This is so true, if you raise your child in a bubble and shelter them from everything (which is so tempting) they will never be prepared for anything in life. You have to let your children fall . So they know what it feels like to hit the ground. If they fall when they are young hopefully it isn't a bad fall but it gets their attention and they will be more prepared for future issues. .

I've been watching for 4 consecutive days now on your channel. I've learned a lot. Write it down, process the thoughts, questions myself about my own opinion about the topics. I'm so glad this platform exist. I've been on the process of knowing myself clearly and being straightforward with my negative traits because I really wanted to change and grow for more better version of myself. I'm 35. And sometimes, I had this regret, because I feel like I've wasted so many years. I wish I had been wise at 17, or 20. I had a lot of trauma growing up. From my parents seperation to failed marriage, to single parenting. Fighting my own darkside while I didn't have any idea how to raise my kids while I had them early at a young age. Looking back, I can say, I'm now in the stage of my life to be really brutally honest so that I can heal. Thank you for this! I really appreciate all the member of the team, even I didn't know them, you and all the guests! Salamat! From The Philippines. ❤❤❤

Don't worry about that. Nobody's wise at 17-20 ))) Even if they're absolutely sure that they are. Wisdom requires experiences. A lot of 'em. Especially the negative ones.

00:00 📚 Robert Greene discusses the qualities of a great seducer, emphasizing the power of understanding the language of seduction. 01:09 🧠 Confidence comes from understanding power dynamics and the realization that your abilities can be taken away, so don't take them for granted. 02:32 🏢 Robert Greene shares his upbringing and how he pursued various jobs to gain life experiences. 06:24 📖 Robert Greene talks about how he stumbled upon the idea for "The 48 Laws of Power" through a chance meeting in Italy and his desperate circumstances. 08:01 📚 "The 48 Laws of Power" gained global success, selling over 2 million copies, and continues to sell well, partly thanks to word-of-mouth and endorsements from figures like Jay-Z and 50 Cent. 10:04 📖 Robert Greene discusses his evolving feelings towards "The 48 Laws of Power" and its impact, acknowledging its dark side but still standing by its content. 11:54 🤔 Robert Greene defines power as an emotional need and the ability to understand and control oneself, emphasizing that power is a feeling more than external control. 15:29 🎭 Robert Greene discusses the importance of keeping up appearances and controlling one's behavior to navigate social dynamics effectively. 21:35 🎭 Robert Greene advises that while we all play roles in life, we should not confuse those roles with our true essence, striking a balance between authenticity and social adaptation. 22:28 🤝 When hiring or forming work relationships, avoid gravitating towards friends solely due to trust. Emotions in friendships can complicate work dynamics. Consider practicality over friendship in the professional realm. 25:16 🤐 Concealing intentions isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. It depends on circumstances. Share your vision with your team to inspire them. In a competitive business world, revealing everything can be counterproductive. Sometimes, creating mystery or deception strategically can be powerful. 30:23 🌗 Confronting your dark side and shadow traits is essential for personal growth. Acknowledge and use your dark side for positive purposes, such as channeling anger into productive causes. 34:27 🤝 Early childhood experiences can influence one's relationship with power. Secure and loving early experiences can lead to healthier power dynamics, but resilience can also emerge from challenging backgrounds. 43:58 💑 A great seducer is outwardly focused, attentive, and listens actively, entering the spirit of the other person. Seduction is not about domination but a mutual courtship ritual, a game where both parties seduce each other. 44:52 💑 The power of seduction lies in making others feel genuinely interested and validated; it involves being absorbed in the other person's world. 46:02 🚫 Anti-seductive qualities include preaching, moralizing, and failing to be generous with your spirit, time, or energy. 47:34 💔 Insecurity is anti-seductive, but vulnerability can be seductive because it signifies openness to the influence of others. 51:19 💖 Great dating advice includes putting effort into romance, avoiding the misconception that love should come easy, and understanding that seduction requires patience, skill, and genuine gestures. 55:42 🕺 Real confidence is built through actual achievements and skills, not through faking it or bravado. 57:23 👥 Developing social skills and reading body language is crucial for seduction, as genuine body language communicates more than words. 58:03 💼 Confidence also comes from creating things, achieving goals, and demonstrating competence in various aspects of life. 01:06:06 😃 Pay attention to genuine smiles, as they light up the entire face, and distinguish them from fake smiles which appear tight and insincere. 01:06:46 🗣 Voice tone and speed reveal a lot about a person's confidence, with nervousness often reflected in fast speech and voice tremors. 01:07:42 🕵‍♂ Body language reveals leadership qualities, like leaning forward in a business meeting or having engaged feet during a conversation. 01:08:49 🧠 Milton Erickson, a polio survivor, became a master at reading body language, emphasizing the power of this skill. 01:14:20 🌟 Mastery comes from dedicating significant time and effort to develop a skill, creating a vast neural landscape in the brain. 01:15:45 💡 Discovering your life's task is more important than finding a passion, and it's about feeling a deep connection to a specific field. 01:21:45 🤝 When choosing an apprenticeship job, prioritize learning opportunities over a higher paycheck. 01:24:04 🧩 Deep observation involves absorbing the codes, conventions, and skills of your field by being outwardly focused. 01:25:12 🤲 Skills acquisition in an apprenticeship phase is best achieved through hands-on learning, following the brain's natural inclination to learn by doing. 01:28:40 ⚡ Dealing with life-changing events like a stroke can lead to the need for new life skills and adaptations, even later in life. 01:28:54 😌 Robert Greene discusses the challenges of adjusting to life after a stroke, emphasizing the need for patience and acceptance. 01:31:57 🤔 Robert Greene reflects on the role of circumstances and unpredictability in life, highlighting the importance of appreciating what one has. 01:34:30 🌞 After experiencing a stroke and a long recovery, Robert Greene emphasizes the significance of finding joy in life's simple pleasures. 01:36:08 🤝 Robert Greene speaks about the importance of having support from loved ones during difficult times and how it has been crucial for him. 01:44:01 😕 Robert Greene shares his complex perspective on humanity, acknowledging the darkness within while also hoping for positive change, especially through the younger generations. 01:48:26 😄 Robert Greene recalls the happiest moment of his life, which came when he was given the opportunity to write the "48 Laws of Power," and how he continues to appreciate it. 01:51:20 🌑 Robert Greene discusses the importance of confronting the darkness within human nature objectively, acknowledging its existence. 01:51:35 🙏 Stephen Bartlett expresses gratitude to Robert Greene for his vulnerability, openness, and the lessons on perception, happiness, and self-awareness from their conversation. 01:52:01 🎙 Robert Greene compliments Stephen Bartlett as an exceptional interviewer and listener, acknowledging the quality of their conversation.

This interview was so amazing for me. I have been really struggling to find something I’m “passionate” about. Roberts points about the necessity of tedium were shockingly eye opening. I also struggle with relationships, even just friendships and I’ve been very lonely and feeling sorry for myself. When he mentioned not being able to walk a dog, I was literally walking my dogs and it’s was a very emotional moment for me. I have been really giving up on things here recently. I think this podcast just really reminded me to be grateful. I have a lot of abilities that I take for granted and I’ve let my own lack of motivation allow me to feel sorry for myself. I’m 30 years old and still figuring things out and this talk really helped me to remember that you can’t even imagine the places life can take you if you don’t make chasing pleasure and passion your only goals. I loved this so much and I really needed to hear it.

Despite attempts to purge her from my mind, I remain haunted by her absence , feeling compelled to express my longing here .

I am thankful my insomnia led me to this interview from midnight to 2:48 am. Only now discovering Mr. Greene through this interview having read none of his books I have now become a fan of you both for different reasons. I identify with Mr. Greene interests in human nature and behavior, and the challenges he currently faces . I have played the role of caregiver thrice in my short 65 years on earth. The first was a conscious choice to help my mother die with dignity in her home after a terminal cancer diagnosis(1998). The second was an ageing neighbor and friend estranged from family by distance and prison parole restrictions who suffered a stroke at least twice as well as fractured limbs eventually succumbing to Covid-19 in a state nursing home(2021). The third is a former lover I met in 1979 until 1987 when he left me because my crack addiction during the HIV epidemic. Our orbits intersected once again 20 years later. He was disabled by a fall on ice requiring double shoulder surgery and I was living in a bedbug infested single room but employed during the banking collapse at the end of Bush Jr. presidency. He had another accidental fall requiring doible knee surgery followed by a successful remission of prostate cancer. So yeah life is what it is but there's never a dull moment. Always grateful for a new day. I enjoy your interview style that lets viewers feel like their sitting right there at your table. KUDOS!

Thank you for facilitating this enlightening conversation that allows the public to glean wisdom from both you and Robert Greene!

[@arthurmurfitt7698]

One of the biggest things I got from this interview is from the last part where Robert speaks of his affliction. There are people that have less than I have that are doing better than I am. This is really inspiring for me when I feel low. Thank you very much Steven and Robert. ❤

Your podcasts bring me joy during my dark days. Thank you team. Robert is right about being grateful for the little things: the ability to feel, to read, to work, to run, to walk etc. I am grateful to be on this Earth.

[@ammbb438]

I concur they do the same for me. Best wishes to you.

​@AMMBB I couldn't work for several years due to disability, and then once I got a little better and found an acommodation and was able to work again, I worked for 12 - 18 hours per day, partially because I was so grateful and happy to be able to work again.

I read his book 48 Laws in high school back then I didn’t really get it because I had no clue about life now in my mid 30s I carry this book like a bible… I actually just purchased the box set with all of his titles I too am an inspiring writer and it’s true u had to work different jobs and experience a bunch of crap and hang ups just to have something to write about. Very inspirational figure here glad we can give this man his flowers well deserved much respect!!!

What a joke. You want to be a writer and can't even put a period at the end of a sentence. Did you actually graduate from high school? Most learn basic grammar in 1st grade.

[@BasedHyperborean]

@@Mari-lv1rd unless they're taking advice from goofies like Greene. Also, Crystal... You can't spell. You aren't an "inspiring" writer. You meant "aspiring," but that's a moot point because you obviously don't have enough valuable or interesting shit to say to fill a book. Keep your day job.

At top of my career and life managing in several worldwide multinational companies while enjoying full benefits, i did fall into the pit of addiction and subst. Abuse and in 4-5 years my life turned the opposite and for the last 6 months im unemployed, down from GM positions. Likes of Greene, Huberman and Jordan Peterson made me re-connect with my power, soul, the real me and thanks God im on the way of recovery and coming back stronger than ever💎🙏🏻 DO NOT EVER ABANDON YOURSELF, NEVER!

[@MsSile]

Steven, you are a powerful interviewer, you ask the exact questions that are half formed in my mind as I listen, and others I never thought to ask. Every interview is bursting with value. Thank you so much for offering this to the world!

[@BeckBeckGo]

His technique, active listening, and questions are absolutely perfect!

[@kingjudah27]

I read this book in 1999 and as powerful of read it was, it is the only book that I had to be discerning about who I recommended it to. Robert definitely wrote a masterpiece and his grasp of the pros and cons of power as it relates to human consciousness is profound! Great interview!

Very well put. I love 48 laws, and I'm pretty sure I'm always, subconsciously, operating within its wisdom. Also, I am very careful with whom I recommend it to. Not everyone is ready for it and for those who are, not all of them need that amount of insight into how I operate.

A mind blowing Episode of all time! He reminds me of my mom's condition, she had a mild stroke, when she fell the impact affected her brain side which is responsible for speech. Going through a roller coaster of emotions and trying to be strong her was a lot. This happened early 2011 if not late 2010. The last words I remember was "Tshabalala the man, he is going to marry my daughter" That was after he scored the first goal for South Africa during the World cup. She is still mute, from someone who was very funny to being mute. The communication adjustment was a lot to take in. She writes down when she wants something. More than anything I am forever grateful that she is still alive and can do everything for herself. Its sad at times when I miss her voice and jokes. Much love Steven from South Africa.

35:00-38:00 helped me and allowed me to finally understand myself and also develop. I've never understood this before. I really get it now. This also helped me to understand other important people in my life and now allows me to communicate with them better and be much less offended. This honestly helped me understand so much. I can't believe it. It's the most life changing thing for me personally I've ever encountered at this point being 40. I do wish I found this earlier in life. None the less I'm incredibly grateful. I never write comments. Thank you Mr. Green. I just stepped through to another dimension in my world. I love you Sir.

Used to think of seduction in the negative sense but from now on, I know it’s a powerful tool when well used. What a fascinating talk- thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks

I’m intrigued, may I ask what the negative sense was about, what warhead negatives you found in it?

no, it is a negative thing (by definition and the programming of the word)

[@user-dq8zl4hq6z]

Thank you to both of you, and to the previous guest who left such a thoughtful question. I think I've been undervaluing the gifts of darkness, loss, weakness, all the things we try to avoid, conceal, minimize, while at the same time over-emphasizing them via depression and its devaluing of - not self, exactly, but perhaps identity. I appreciate these lengthy interviews - the format requires either moving on to something shorter, more easily "consumed", or stay and get more engaged, listen more deeply, think about the conversation long after the episode is over. I like that.

This is the best interview I have ever watched. The interviewer is so great. He asked tough questions without any hesitation. It's not that usual interview where there are just normal and boring questions. Robert is my favourite author and you asked him some great questions especially about his personal life. I can sense it was hard for Robert to answer 'em.

Saying that it comes from wisdom that you wear a mask to play a role in society, that we are born this way, and that it's okay to be a fuckin fraud is garbage advice. This guy is a clown. I now have less respect for you, Shaun.

I’ve been a subscriber for quite some time now and probably listened to most of the recent episodes, but this is one is my favorite by far! Robert’s wisdom and thoughts have been eye-opening!
