[@ironmine]

[@davidfagan2640]

One of the greatest philosophy leaders of our time know he is just a man not superior to his readers wishes to share his mastery for anothers growth truth slapses you in the face to see your self in the now as you truley are and begging to not lie to you and love the truly complex you are and giving me a hungry to learn about others

[@gmont5082]

I feel like most people dont care wat others are saying... They are just waiting for u to shut up so they can talk

[@adrians5875]

Whenever i see people that are kind of fixated on the topic of narcissism, i have a feeling that they are projecting their own vices outwards

[@_nebulousthoughts]

Yeah it's actually a really good tell. Actually ask them if they are a narcissist and watch how they react to it. If they are they flip it and say something like I'm no narcissist. When really it's a spectrum and we're all on it.

[@Romie15]

I've really enjoyed this episode! Thank you! I feel that Robert Greene's words on narcissism are now more relevant than 3 yeas ago, when this episode was released, as narcissism has become such a trendy word and the new villain

[@rebelScience]

Would LOVE to hear what that book, titled "RUSSIA", is doing on Robert's shelf. Amazing podcast, amazing people! Thanks!

[@juddotto3660]

Is it possible to feel envy subconsciously? I can't remember a time I've felt envious of someone

[@produceman13]

Now I understand that old bible verse better that says "bread eaten in secret is pleasant" 28:40.

Tristan Harris hosted a phenomenal documentary on Netflix about social media. Very informative! It changed the way I think about these platforms after I watched it. I actually watched it twice. It’s something you can watch more than once and learn something new each time. There was actually a depressing side to it. A lot of these people that are on the documentary once worked for Facebook, Google, Pinterest, as well as Twitter. I found many of these former employees to be a bit tormented. Once they left these companies they realized the guilt and remorse that came along with a lot of these underhanded seductive ways that they actually helped create to lure us in as an audience to these platforms. I felt badly for them. They probably earned a good living but there was a heavy price tag of a weighed down conscience that came attached.

[@rebekatalebi8046]

I hate when people say, “just be yourself.”

[@ChrisWillx]

Elaborate rebeka

[@lukemacon1]

53:23 is super funny partially because he’s also laughing makes you realize it’s funny and quite disarming. Very cool that he laughs and makes you laugh too and open up.

[@gistutorialsand5815]

Finally god’s interview

[@thegxdfxther3010]

Be a good person

[@BryanChance]

Narcissism is not a normal human behavior. I mean "narcissist" as described by psychologists. These are dangerous people, if you become a target. You won't understand the misery and chaos they can cause in your life unless you experience it personally. I was in a 5 year "battle" with a narcissist. I almost lost everything. **Don't make light of what a narcissist is and the damage they cause to others.**

[@ExpandOurAwareness]

In “Laws of Human Nature,” and in some of his videos and likely other books, he stresses the danger of dealing with extreme narcissists. Stay Away if possible. But he also points out our self-absorbed human nature and discusses this in detail, and through stories, as a spectrum that all but the deepest narcissists can overcome by practicing awareness outside themselves.

[@saifi_1.1.2]

7 years i wasted. Just get away from them asap, don't try to change them, just leave as soon as you can, it's the only way to get away while saving your mental health 😅

[@adrianaramirez5217]

Great interview. Can u please share the video from school of life u talked about

[@ChrisWillx]

Thanks for the reminder Adriana! kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6Wmg2mGatemjrc

[@SaarLeestMee]

So fascinating 'ow needed extrz woth al tje truths and opinions out there.... Sociologie ad society conditioning culture. You barely know yourself for real. Just be aware

[@WillyWanka]

Regarding the comments on marketing - That makes me think of Bill Hicks' bit on marketing and for people in marketing to "kill themselves". I find it particularly disgusting with sports betting targeted at young men in Australia through sporting bodies like the AFL.

[@ChrisWillx]

It’s the modern era isn’t it unfortunately. Everything is a commodity. Thankfully we have people like RG to guide us through

[@_nebulousthoughts]

Yeah I'd say that 6/10 preroll ads are betting apps. I hate gambling. Like I've already got money I worked hard for! I've already won.

[@syrenaxhaferi7278]

Calculated manipulation...some people can see through that

[@Beingrayaan]

No one thinks the effects of teaching these things in his own family life his family must've always think he is doing some tricks imagine the loneliness he could be facing just to teach us this.

[@citezensane4413]

He thinks he knows Trump based on some superficial narcissistic character traits, but if you listen to interviews or read books by many people who work with Trump describe opposite of what this guys says.

[@urmidharachatterjee5307]

Who is following me 😈 I 🤔 🇱🇷 ghost ??

[@anthonylemkendorf3114]

Wasn’t that impressed. The expectation was set too high..

[@shafiqnowrozie3087]

The guy interviewing RG seems silly laughing at the wrong time and doesnt understand what RG is saying, He seems clueless and childish..

[@ChrisWillx]

Thanks for the view
