Self-awareness is that thing many people claim to have but in no time at all you know this person is completely unaware of themselves. Our versions of reality seem to fall in line with the narrative and stories we constantly remind ourselves of, but the truth is, we’ve constructed a reality shaped and influenced by emotions that were never truthful from the beginning. Robert Greene, just released another book, The Daily Laws, and he joins Tom in this episode to share his profound wisdom and understanding of human nature. He beautifully peels back the layers of complexity around how we are able to perceive the world around us and the way in which we fit into our own stories. The main point Robert drives home is the power of detaching yourself from the emotions and egos to take an honest assessment of what you are truly experiencing.

QUOTES:
“Deal with the world the way that it actually is, and not the way that you wish it were.” Tom Bilyeu [0:26]
“We completely take appearances for reality. That's sort of the source of our problems and our misery to be honest with in life.” [1:10]
“When you're very young you're extremely vulnerable, you're extremely open to the energies of other people in ways we don't understand right now.” [6:38]
“So awareness is everything, the ability to look at yourself, realistically, and understand you're saying, see things as they are, see the world as it is. It begins with yourself, seeing yourself as you are.” [11:28]
“If we saw completely into ourselves, we would hate ourselves so thoroughly, we wouldn't get out of bed, we would all be killing ourselves, you do need a degree of illusion, you need a degree of self esteem and confidence” [20:14]
“We're so attuned to what's cool, to what other people are doing out there, what other people are saying that we lose kind of an intuitive grasp of who we are.” [22:50]
“The source of your power in life is your attitude towards the world.” [25:17]
“When you take 100% ownership, and you look at your life and say, My life is an exact reflection of choices that I've made. Now, if I want it to be different, then I just need only make different choices” Tom Bilyeu [32:39]

I'm considering my 47 years (and unfortunate zip code, autism, lack of parental guidance/encouragement in childhood, physical conditions and traumatic experiences collected over time as a result thereof) as particular challenges I have been handed in order to develop the unique and infinite capabilities I have been carrying but could not release without the proper sequence of events, like the combination on the padlock of my potential.

Robert, remember that the LEFT brain ( in a right handed person) is the one that leads us into the realm of the divine. It's fascinating to listen to you talking about the low percentage of " chance" for us, evolving as humans for billions of years and to know that only the right brain is talking since the stroke involved your left brain. I am hoping for you and your readers that you will personally experience the divine and then write about it. It's also fascinating to hear you talk about the frustration of small movements and yet your rational thinking at how amazing the human body is and how we should be grateful! It's a paradox and I love listening to the right brain human nature talking about our divine nature or the lack of it. You might have guessed by now that I personally experienced during my first meditation a NDE that was a mystical experience beyond this world. I am Left brain dominant but I'm also a physician and a surgeon. In addition, I have had mystical experiences since age 11 that I did not understand. In fact it was terrifying to me at this age. Now, I am aware of our true nature and very interested in the divine being accessible to some and not to others. It's as if doubt had flourished in the last few centuries... I RECOGNIZED the divine during my experience. It's a non rational experience and this makes it difficult to talk or write about. We all have the knowledge. We have however created and encouraged doubt. Your testimony is fascinating. Everything is relative indeed. I'm waiting for you to let that left brain heal by allowing it to BE. You are a wonderful man. Everything you do is sacred. You have been touched by Grace and it will be happening again, I promise, as soon as you are able to recognized that truth.

Speaking as someone from Scotland, if you want the sublime, you might want to go for a walk in the Scottish Highlands. It won't be as dangerous as climbing Everest etc., but it will certainly give you a sense of your smallness in the vastness of the cosmos and put things into perspective. In the meantime, go for a walk to the highest hill nearest you and sit and look out over your hometown or the city in which you live and you can get the same experience.

This is my first time hearing about the idea of the sublime, but it reminded me of something pretty recent in my life(not nearly as grand as climbing everest). I was taking a walk towards the end of this winter about a mile away from my immediate neighborhood(suburbs) and I was went down this long street. It was cold, dry, and windy. It was uncomfortable but peaceful. And I turned the corner and was met with heavenly rays of sunlight reflecting off the grass and trees. The sky looked like a painting. The warmth of the sun and the cold wind was hitting my face all at once. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. The wind felt like it was cracking my skin but I felt this rush of peace and gratitude that I’ve felt only a few times. My facial muscles were seizing up from the cold but I was so happy to be alive and feel something. Maybe I’m being naive but maybe I had a little peek into the sublime.

[@jwill9877]

Now that you know it's real, you ask yourself if the way your acting in a certain situation is rooted in reality, or driven by your relationship with your mother. Are you attracted to these women because it is real attraction, or are you trying to relive your relationship with your mother. I had emotional abandonment from my mother. I acted out by having the mentality that I'm leaving my significant other before they leave me. After a year or so in a relationship I looked for any reason to leave her before she left me. As you can imagine I left a long trail of broken hearts and damaged a lot of women. I'm not proud of that. I changed when I almost died. I experienced the sublime that Robert is talking about.

[@andredarin8966]

I thought his “Art of Seduction” was a blot on his reputation. He advocated some ghastly strategies to nail women. It was appalling. A few quotes: “People want to be led astray, they yearn to be seduced. If they didn’t, seducers would not find so many willing victims. Get rid of any moralizing tendencies.” “Never let your targets get too comfortable with you. They need to feel fear and anxiety. Show them some coldness, a flash of anger they did not expect. Be irrational if necessary.” His 24 rules flirts with amorality. Women are described as targets or victims, to be drawn into temptation, and to achieve the seducer’s ends he should attempt to elicit fear in his quarry. Nasty.

[@dmshouse1]

I love it when Robert says there’s no reason to be envious in the first place. I have learned this over the years. When we have an ego that is needy, that’s when we feel envy. I’ve run into people who are blatantly envious of things in me that I have no control over! Like my looks or how I think. Or my skills- and they’ve actually tried to knock me down because of that. And the crazy thing is that I seldom recognize it, someone points it out. I’ve learned now to recognize envy better and this has helped me avoid them before a hurt occurs to either of us. I’m not egocentric by saying this, it’s just that there are people who are innately or constantly envious. It starts by comparing yourself to others. Don’t do that. Be happy with the miracle that you are- as Robert says.

Interview impacted me greatly. I was a relatively healthy fit and active 35 year old woman. Then I got extremely sick sicker than I've been in my entire life after that it turned into post viral syndrome after that a couple of autoimmune diseases surfaced. Then I was consequently also diagnosed with chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia I know those last are a bit of an issue for the Skeptics but my neurologist and rheumatologist verify they are legitimate medical disorders, stigma aside, I went from healthy to barely being able to hold down a part-time job and care for myself. I am exhausted and in pain all the time sleep doesn't help I am feeble it's like I went from 30 to 80 overnight and I could absolutely relate when you asked how he copes with his limitations. Every word he said about dealing with his situation struck a major chord for me.

It's not idealistic and altruistic of what should be, it's literally what people are doing and you should try to understand those people MORE because they are often those in power or feening for power.

@@melissamayer9983 I don't have audible so I'm not too sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if these titles were available on audible. These books were national bestsellers.

Completely agree.

[@lalegecreative7899]

Robert Greene is an amazing author. When I first saw his interview in the Roommates, I bought his book 48 laws of power. The book totally changed my outlook in life and helped me with introspection and how to deal with people.

Thank you both. Robert, I love that you are able to share some of your struggle to recover. I struggle with autoimmune issues which take up a much of my days. My arms, my voice, my hands, my legs at times, and often my brain do not work as well as I know I could be capable of. I encourage us all to appreciate what we do have, what we can do, and to realize we will all have to learn to cope with losses, and to not take what you have now for granted. This is all temporary. Much Love!

I suffer from bad autoimune illness.I almost died in january this year and was given max. Couple months to live.11 months later i changed my job moved,to another city and I am in best shape of my live.When i was in hospital bed facing death i realized how much time and energy i spent being small,weak and scared person.All problems I had all worrys i had were small speck of dust.So now i started to live again at 41 years old.So be the strongest and bravest you can be,time goes so fast,and even smallest step makes a huge difference.Sorry if my english is not so good.I wish you all the best,hope you will get better,never never give up.

[@azaleaslightsage1271]

Have you heard of Dr Gabor Mate? He explains Autoimmune disease how it's self induced through suppression of pain trauma circulating through our bodies His books are Amazing

[@KiKi-te9yd]

Robert, I don't know if you'll see this but I completely hear you on the frustrations of just trying to get your body to do basic things again. Nerve related injuries take just SO LONG to heal. Lots of f words. 2.5 years for me and my foot is still healing. Neuro physio help is amazing.

[@MrMob46x]

Thank you Tom for your brutal and audacious honesty. You've publicly affirmed flaws about yourself that are difficult for me to accept in silence. I truly admire Robert Greene and love listening to him, but I've gained a tremendous respect for you after watching this. I am a very late bloomer and feel more empowered to pursue my goals after watching this video...

[@mattblack9344]

Late bloomer,in my opinion,would make a more empathetic partner compared to a player with gameThey have had time to reflect on themselves and crave a real bond..choose wisely and good luck.

Robert Greene is one of my authors of all time. I have 5 of his books. I love that they're Classics. I can reread them from time to time and always get more enjoyment. This was an important video to see the inside version of Robert to see him open himself up to us in a way that I could not have imagined. He's a brave man and I admire him immensely!

[@misstori1437]

At 18:36 in the video; when conscious control of good self esteem (feeling good about yourself) is talked about, I realized I have a very nice anti fragile thought structure that you can attach to this feeling at its base and maintain it in perpitudee as a way to regard yourself and its universally applicable to others too, so I felt I must share it! It is simply as follows: Hold Life as Sacred. My use of Sacred is defined as: entitled to reverence and respect. Also: unassailable, inviolable, and Holy(if you will). So when something is Sacred it is worthy of your respect in your mind. it is likely you will value and nurture it, protect it, promote it, and be more forgiving of shortcomings in this inviolable thing; for it is just that! That which is Sacred IS antifragile to the tarnishing effects of negative truths, it is cherished, preserved at all costs, and its dishwasher safe* So apply Sacred to being alive. It's a Simple criteria and easily decernable; Now, with the idea that life is Sacred that Sacred tenacity and allowance should extend to every representation of life; i.e. Living things like people, yourself, pets, and animals ect. So while the ego in you throws shade into the spotlight of your self esteem. Said shade cannot cast a shadow of doubt on its shine as we remind ourselves of its living status and thereby setting boundaries for the minimum value of the standard its treated To.. If life is sacred and I am alive I represent a facet of what I hold sacred and will always be of value if not simply in that regard. A bonus is that this is also true within others! so from a life is Sacred frame of reference Respect as a concept and practice is inherent within any interactions with other living things, so none of that hater ass rudeness upon meeting till you earn clout shit. Just respect up front cause your alive. Not to say a person can't loose my respect, but when It is lost there is a line still, one ensuring safety on some level from actions which would take away or decide life's corse for someone or something else * Because you can " not respect " someone till your blue in the face but you should respect yourself by maintaining that (their life) which is Sacred to you. And with that you can weild this thought structure through the trials of addressing the depths of truth that amalgamated to form you, and with your self esteem ensured solution for dudes quandary is found! *just kidding but it is organic!

The things i have for granted, that is a point i have to remember (and i am training Judo, which i find hard to get from the mind to the body). And also this one: I battle this feeling of inferiority, i am 47 and think i am slow in thinking, that i am no smart enough, that many are faster than me in comprehension terms, that my "best years" are behind, and discovering that, yes there are many better than me, but also that all my experiences begin to cristallize exactly at this age, and with some thought i can get some benefits and advantages for me. I can get on with life. Thank you, Tom and Robert.

Had learn long hard way about people- but feeling I’m mastering it as time goes by. Listened to R.Greens books! TY!🙏 Takes practice and perseverance. As a woman and been on my own- had become very aware of people. Learn to mediate and trust intuition. So many toxic and opportunist people who will take advantage and exploit you. People you would never even imagine. But also you have take responsibility to discern and cannot blame the external. My depression was bad for long time and had face a lot within and reality.

This is the most amazing interview where Robert Green has an emotional moment in describing us the present time of our existence with such a clarity that one can almost touch it

[@EveningTV]

This is a great talk that is at least 3 distinct talks in one. On the point of being a late bloomer, envy, comparison and people who are great at what they do. Such an honest talk that was so refreshing to hear. At some point in my life I hit the place where I both realized that I probably was not going to achieve mastery in a lot of things I always had some level of interest in. At the same time, I found myself being really moved by greatness in just about any field. Watching someone who found their thing whether it was in science, sports, the arts, cooking, I mean literally anything really chokes me up. It is like utter amazement at what human beings can do. The conversation of the first half was also excellent and I sent it to my 20-something son as he in the process of deciding who he is going to be.

Tom, I’ve related with so much of your content over the years, that said this one has hit the nail on the head for me. At 18 I was in an accident with a foodlion semi. And had 24 surgeries on the left side of my body from head to toe. So I can relate a lot with his frame of mind. Only I’ve accepted that I have limitations so I very seldom get frustrated I just always work to push past those limitations and love live a more normal life. Although my person that I look to and think man I’ll never be that guy is you. If I could be doing anything with my life it would look very similar to yours. I have a a deep reverence for life, tho I live for sharing those deep thought connections with other souls the way you are able to achieve that in just about all your interviews in such a natural progression as tho no one’s watching while we get to be a fly on the wall… It is quite amazing, thank you for all you do, your content has helped me so much over the years! 🙏🏻 Kind Regards, Spencer Isaacs
