Stop Judging Appearances

In this video, I explore the concept known as effective truth from the great Niccolò Machiavelli. We should not judge people on appearances or their words, instead, pay attention to their actions, this is who they really are.
Robert Greene is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, The 50th Law, Mastery, The Laws of Human Nature, and most recently, The Daily Laws.

Biggest lesson I learnt in 2020 was exactly this! People don't say, (they rarely even know) what they belive in, but they can't help but act out their beliefs. It's what you do that shapes you, not what you say.

I've found this to be the case in my life recently as well . Appearances can be and are a lot of the times extremely deceiving . Something that seems like it's very enticing, and worth your attention, is actually and endless echo chamber of Chaos, Fear, and Anxiety. The key is to have discernment , and to know what to not, and what to give your attention to, and only then you will gain your True Power . Thanks for sharing Robert ! Thanks for being one of the people that inspires me to post videos every single day !

My feelings exactly regarding Elon Musk (when I heard his thoughts on population growth). He is playing with his power and knows exactly what he is doing. The masses are not critical thinkers instead respond to him as an authority figure. When someone like you Mr Greene speaks up on these matters, it forces people to think critically, instead of being puppets. Thank you for your contribution to this world.

[@captainbeastazoid7084]

I disagree completely. Musk was just expressing his opinion. People in the West and in parts of Asia are not having children. And that could have a detrimental impact on the maintenance of those societies. On top of that, demographers predict that the human population as a whole is going to begin to decline over the next 100 years or so. The common wisdom in the West today is that none of this matters and we shouldn't worry about it. His opinion that it does matter and people agreeing with him is the opposite of puppetry

[@Emma-sf5my]

Your knowledge and ability to explain things in a simple way is the reason i read your books. In a world where appearance comes across as reality i am learning to truly look at actions. People where so many different masks in order to get what they want and if we take out time to look at actions and behaviors especially the unconscious ones we see the real self. Past patterns are also very indicative of personality. You gave a very good example of how stressful situations push out the shadow. Thanks

Hi Robert, thank you for being you. i am just like what you were, people act so harsh with me and I had not anything to protect myself, I was so confused ,what's happening , that was just like silent war and I had no skill for fighting,I find you and your books.It was a great gift for me because I hurt so much until now that I'm reading your books, its like learning new language for me, I'm from Iran and now we are in a real war , thank you so much for lots of pain that you suffered but you didn't quite ❤❤❤

Today, this is again a very important lesson for me.

After wards i had saw many people about you mentioned in that Book I had applied some laws in my real life .. everything gives me a positive results.. especially when we are going to ask for help someone we need to tell them what benefits they will get if they help us ....and etc etc.. Your books had changed my mindset, change my thoughts, i love it .. After reading some pages , learning some new things, some times i fell i got some super powers.. Thank you very much , for sharing your knowledge and what you had learnt from your experience... Thank you Sadheesh
