“The most effective attitude to adopt is one of supreme acceptance. The world is full of people with different characters and temperaments. We all have a dark side, a tendency to manipulate, and aggressive desires. The most dangerous types are those who repress their desires or deny the existence of them, often acting them out in the most underhanded ways. Some people have dark qualities that are especially pronounced. You cannot change such people at their core, but must merely avoid becoming their victim. You are an observer of the human comedy, and by being as tolerant as possible, you gain a much greater ability to understand people and to influence their behavior when necessary” ― Robert Greene, Mastery
What a brilliant man, Robert Greene! He speaks flawlessly and with great insight! I am worried about his health. Is his health okay? I never heard of him before! Thanks for posting! How do you like the late great Dr. Wayne Dyer? Also how do you and/or staff like Eckhart Tolle? Just curious.
Marc Mobile They all teach you different things. I started with the most known book of him „48 Laws Of Power“. Read that carefully or start with his newest one „Laws Of Human Nature“.
*Cabra Goon, I recently discovered Robert and have watched a few of his interviews. Based upon what I have heard him say, . . . it seems to me, . . . he is either ignorant of the spiritual realm, and the reality of the effects of spirits upon our lives, or . . . he is cognizant of same, yet being deceptive.* *Because he seems to be sincere in his beliefs, I believe he is simply ignorant regarding the spiritual realm. He could learn much, by searching You Tube for **_Secrets of the Demonic Realm - Power of Christ Jesus!_** He would also greatly benefit from going to the website referenced in the description of the videos.*
lmao I heard about Robert Greene from people in reddit, some ppl were writing how this guy is writing a lot of evil unmoral books that shouldn't exist and that made me want to look them up. I listen to podcasts of this guy for days and he only gives such amazing insight about all aspects of life and his books are so great and filled of so much interesting history. This guy just writes books encourage to improve everyones lives and understanding of the world and what is happening around us. What a great guy

Ive always felt compelled to understand ME and others. Emotional regulation was a challenge in my childhood. As an adult i Received a Criminal Justice undergrad degree and now a master's degree in counseling psychology. I'm still learning. I strive to learn daily and listen to self help RUclips videos to keep myself up to date and to remind / refresh my mind on everything that I may already know; however continue towards self-improvement. It's an ongoing journey. The natural human brain tends to use its lizard brain if we don't stay conscious and aware of our emotions. Keep them in check. Treat yourself kindly and be patient and strive towards a better you. Good luck everyone.
A great video. We're a great network of individuals, when one individual takes action they influence those around them, but likewise when another individual takes action, they too are influenced. Think of it like drops falling into water, one drop causes a ripple effect that impacts the water surrounding it, but when multiple droplets fall, multiple ripple effects are created.

Great video Robert. Your work in explaining human irrationality and compulsive behaviour is a great help in enabling us to forgive ourselves and put in place strategies to avoid future negative decisions. Understanding ourselves and others really helps in putting into practice the patient acceptance needed to lead a good life.
Absolute Motivation, nice job. This video was more compelling than the original one. The soundtrack and the images you chose are perfect for the message.
Robert makes a valid point. Multiply the influence of tech by parental coddling and PC culture and you have a young person so far gone from their basic survival instinct, that it takes something major to get it back.

Watching it again, put it into practice, find how to simplify it, how to expand on it, let it sink in, respectfully debate it, link it with other areas, enjoy it, making it a tool for my development and maybe others along the line, yet letting go of ego and the attachment to it. Oh wow.

"The number one problem I find that they have (the people I consult for) is their inability to understand the people they are dealing with," Robert Greene
Very insightful!! I understand where & what he’s trying to say. But it becomes very frustrating when you want others around you to wake up, yet they prefer to be sheeples instead. This is why I’ve become a reclusive, with a very minimal amount of friends. Way too many times I’ve observed this “all about me mentality” & it’s so sad!!

As a manager the first thing I look when hiring a person is how well they accept everyone and how well they communicate. Do they smile genuinely, would people be drawn to them. Then comes the job skills.
Ridiculous to think that "how well they accept everyone" is a good criterion for hiring. The key to is hire people who understand themselves and others well, not who accept people indiscriminately and who 'smile genuinely.' Such smile is either the fruit of naivete (if not dumbness) or the result of phoniness. You want intelligent, competent, wise people - not dumb social animals.

Yes Robert is right on on the fact that too many leaders understand the functional side of their leadership role, but do not know how to understand the behavior nature of the people they lead. This often is because in the advice they were given by their family environment, people relations are not really taught. It is severely mistaken that they will just learn this naturally thru life experiences. As Robert has said in many of his writings, a big part of people relations is for leaders and all of us, to learn to be more humble and truly learn how to listen to the people they work with. This often means crossing a cultural bridge to learn on how other people grew up and how they have come to have such vast variety of differences of opinions.
He's right about narcissism hes very right about basic psychology as I've met a lot intelligent that know nothing about people & psychology in fact some where even scared of it Knowledge is power & psychology is mother of all power
I agree as I have examined that most people lack social awareness and have very narcissistic personalities, almost most of it being thanks to social media and technology usage
We have to start looking at ourselves more so than ever cause we are lost here and we need to find ourselves. Se need help and only we can save ourselves from ourselves both individually and collectively!
It's the same thing in a compagny. When employees don't make conversations and are stick to their technology, it's bad. We need social environment in a compagny or you will get to your workplace with a different mindset. We are created like it and if we do the reverse, it can't work. Even if you like being alone and doing your things, you will ask for social too
yo the first thing he said is so real... 'its like we're animals and we BECOME human'. that's so true. we're uncivilized af. if everyone self-disciplined we'd be the dopest planet ever
The moment we realize all the time we have left “to be” who we really wanna be dims out at every second, mundane things lose value, we soften the relationship with love ones and we can also aim better to fulfill dreams left behind
Wow. I have read many of Robert Greene's books ( currently own several ) and I never imagined at all that he was actually a compassionate person. I just wrongly assumed he was just another conquest minded psychopath. I was severely mistaken..
You obviously didn't learn much from his books then, in 3 of his books: The 48 laws of power and the 33 Strategies of war and the art of seduction, he tells you not to trust outside appearances/words and to judge people by their behaviors. Sure, his words are warm and fuzzy, but his behaviors show him promoting a book. What other good things have you personally seen him do? This same concept goes for all of the various politicians that people vote in because they say all the right things, but then come to regret their votes. See? Robert was right, you're irrational and you let your emotions get the best of you.
@@JohnDoe-jt9oq Well, psychopaths are entirely rational and are responsible for over 50% of violent crime. Good personal relationships (emotions) between people are the only thing that make civilization possible. Without emotions to bond everyone together, it would just be conflict everywhere all the time. Also, just because I was mistaken about judging a person doesn't mean that I was manipulated. Of course none of us know the strangers personally that we see and hear from afar, and therefore anyone can be mistaken about anyone. It doesn't indicate that they "let their emotions get the best of them". I can only wonder if you're trying to manipulate me, right now.
@@JohnDoe-jt9oq Also, I should point out that it is foolish for you to jump to the conclusion that I didn't learn much from his books. That's not possible for you to know from the data you could have possibly gathered from a single "RUclips" comment. That comment itself is irrational.
That is NIMZ on the piano in the background he is brillliant also you people that don't know a damn thing about videography stop complaining .It takes a lot of work to put the music and video clips together and mix it with what Robert is talking about. Great work!
If I had 3 wishes people skills would be #1 on the list. IQ and perfect health. You wont have to wish for a 4th because youll be able to gain everything else. You dont want to be given wealth and success. You want to earn it. Youll build strong trust worthy circles while doing so. Everyone will know who you are and you will feel fulfilled. Accomplished. Youll belong. Everyone will have a connection with you through the trails by fire. And if youre smart then itll be pretty easy..just takes time. You dont wanna rush through life. You want to enjoy all the little things. All the variables that are the building blocks. The corner stones of the life you have and share with the people around you.
Sounds like you're a natural scientist. Find friends who you see in difficult situations who won't hurt you... And use that brain of yours to serve others. You'll feel happier
It's the system we live in, getting things done, employment/ businesses tasks, it has to do with so called stress, unfortunate coincidences and the amount of time and money it actually takes to do things, frustration, under estimation that keep us from our humanism, I think we become more human as we age and become wise, humanism has to do with empathy understanding and helping, nothing to do with money

Do you see a benefit in being human???? Please tell me....Thats what people always say they love animals more than Humans!! we should just stay animals
So true, liberals and democrats, in my experience, have been the most narcissistic selfish people but they virtue signal that they are good but they really just want free stuff from the government
Some of what Robert Greene beats here contradicts what he says in The 48 Laws of Power.Here Robert Greene says to accept people and to deal with them as individuals.In the 48 laws of power Robert Greene says "Avoid the unhappy and the unlucky."
Interesting point. I don’t think in the 48 laws he himself is saying you should avoid the happy and unlucky but he is relaying one of the laws in history that became the chapter. What he may think may be different which is why it can come across as a contradiction.
Some people can manage their emotions, be self-aware and use logic and critical thinking. Narcissists are the ones who can't do that. It's not a natural animal instinct. That's a personality disorder. Not everyone thinks about getting more attention than others and comparing to others. These are all narcissist traits. And yes, it is constant for them. This is a super common disorder though, so I can see why he'd think it was everyone. Narcissists also can't understand the difference between themselves and others so makes sense he'd describe it as "viral emotions" as dangerous. People with boundaries have empathy for other's feelings and can separate their own feelings, so they aren't drained by someone else's feelings. Narcissists also have weak emotional intelligence. Compulsions are not normal either. Perfectionism is a narcissist trait also. Not everyone is that way. Not everyone is a "mystery to themselves" that is also a narc trait. They have no sense of self. And a victim complex also. Over-sensitivity. Self-absorption/obsession. And much more. I have some videos on it. They are emotionally stunted at a child's age (which is one reason they can't handle their own emotions). That is all projection to assume everyone has the same disorder. People are mostly narcissists, but there are also a small number of sociopaths, borderline, some healthy people, mentally ill people, etc. All these brains are super different!

He's right about narcissism hes very right about basic psychology as I've met a lot intelligent that know nothing about people & psychology in fact some where even scared of it
Knowledge is power & psychology is mother of all power
Looks at people as Facts of Nature... this is so profound..
I want to give him a hug, he has no idea what is possible, yet!.
The Empathy in this Man is Astonishing!!
I agree as I have examined that most people lack social awareness and have very narcissistic personalities, almost most of it being thanks to social media and technology usage
The way Robert Greene lays it out is Only the Realest way
You nailed it . I want to hear more . Thank you
You’re most welcome! Thanks for watching the video!
This man makes a lot of sense, I like his thinking.
We have to start looking at ourselves more so than ever cause we are lost here and we need to find ourselves. Se need help and only we can save ourselves from ourselves both individually and collectively!
It's the same thing in a compagny. When employees don't make conversations and are stick to their technology, it's bad. We need social environment in a compagny or you will get to your workplace with a different mindset. We are created like it and if we do the reverse, it can't work. Even if you like being alone and doing your things, you will ask for social too
He is the sum of all ancient philosophers and modern humanistic sciences.
Robert Greene is a legend !
Agreed! We love him, he always has sage advice to part in no matter what interview he is a part of.
Yes, that's right. But sometimes you have to cut people off. You just can't be everybody's friend.
Finally he's getting some recognition.
This is incredibly interesting. I struggled with the beginning/animal part, but give it time. I actually love it.
yo the first thing he said is so real... 'its like we're animals and we BECOME human'. that's so true. we're uncivilized af. if everyone self-disciplined we'd be the dopest planet ever
Thank you
The moment we realize all the time we have left “to be” who we really wanna be dims out at every second, mundane things lose value, we soften the relationship with love ones and we can also aim better to fulfill dreams left behind
Powerful words, Dany! Thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed the video .
This 💯
He said you never have to take things personally, am I right?
@@justanaturaldisaster 😂😂😂 very good
Can you turn the music down a bit, its all I am able to hear.
the music is the reason i downvote every video. it is to loud and distracting.
Bernhard Welzel you are an idiot
Best advice ever... Hats off sir
Thank you so much for this, really ❤️ very appreciated.
Wow. I have read many of Robert Greene's books ( currently own several ) and I never imagined at all that he was actually a compassionate person. I just wrongly assumed he was just another conquest minded psychopath. I was severely mistaken..
You obviously didn't learn much from his books then, in 3 of his books: The 48 laws of power and the 33 Strategies of war and the art of seduction, he tells you not to trust outside appearances/words and to judge people by their behaviors. Sure, his words are warm and fuzzy, but his behaviors show him promoting a book. What other good things have you personally seen him do? This same concept goes for all of the various politicians that people vote in because they say all the right things, but then come to regret their votes. See? Robert was right, you're irrational and you let your emotions get the best of you.
@@JohnDoe-jt9oq Well, psychopaths are entirely rational and are responsible for over 50% of violent crime. Good personal relationships (emotions) between people are the only thing that make civilization possible. Without emotions to bond everyone together, it would just be conflict everywhere all the time. Also, just because I was mistaken about judging a person doesn't mean that I was manipulated. Of course none of us know the strangers personally that we see and hear from afar, and therefore anyone can be mistaken about anyone. It doesn't indicate that they "let their emotions get the best of them". I can only wonder if you're trying to manipulate me, right now.
@@JohnDoe-jt9oq Also, I should point out that it is foolish for you to jump to the conclusion that I didn't learn much from his books. That's not possible for you to know from the data you could have possibly gathered from a single "RUclips" comment. That comment itself is irrational.
48 LAWS OF POWER! 👏🏼
Robert Greene - great speaker...but the background music just gets in the way. It's a distraction and an annoyance.
Agreed 🙁
I love Robert Greene.
Robert is truly a genius!
my 2 fave Roberts in the world, both born in 1959 & Taurus. Robert Smith of the Cure & Robert Greene
Take control of how u respond to other's emotions. It's the ONLY thing you can control.
Hidden gem talk by Robert Greene! 💎
This is very well edited
That is NIMZ on the piano in the background he is brillliant also you people that don't know a damn thing about videography stop complaining .It takes a lot of work to put the music and video clips together and mix it with what Robert is talking about. Great work!
I wish he was my father 😢 Such a wise person, thank you Robert Greene, I wish you love ♥️
I'll be your father.
I'll be your father too
It’s called stoicism.
Well said. And that's pretty much like the synapse of my own philosophy and viewpoints.
very relevant in America's current environment
that is true
If I had 3 wishes people skills would be #1 on the list. IQ and perfect health. You wont have to wish for a 4th because youll be able to gain everything else. You dont want to be given wealth and success. You want to earn it. Youll build strong trust worthy circles while doing so. Everyone will know who you are and you will feel fulfilled. Accomplished. Youll belong. Everyone will have a connection with you through the trails by fire. And if youre smart then itll be pretty easy..just takes time. You dont wanna rush through life. You want to enjoy all the little things. All the variables that are the building blocks. The corner stones of the life you have and share with the people around you.
Wow. Such powerful words. Thanks for sharing your wisdom
my problem is that ive been thinking this way since i was little and i question everything and its damaging my mental health
Sounds like you're a natural scientist. Find friends who you see in difficult situations who won't hurt you... And use that brain of yours to serve others. You'll feel happier
It's the system we live in, getting things done, employment/ businesses tasks, it has to do with so called stress, unfortunate coincidences and the amount of time and money it actually takes to do things, frustration, under estimation that keep us from our humanism, I think we become more human as we age and become wise, humanism has to do with empathy understanding and helping, nothing to do with money
Science
Well stated. Question: if what you propose is achievable, then stress is of our own making and has no basis in fact. A “god”...if you will.
Primal, natural behavior...we are animals who must become Human???.....all of the animals on the planet live together in unison.....HUMANS are a cancer that has screwed up the planet depleted the planet and resources , and caused the extinction of millions of animals and insects and fish and birds and has polluted the planet beyond repair with Nuclear energy and caused pain and suffering beyond imagination to our own kind with wars and poverty and greed .......We are natural animals, but we become HUMANS ???? Do you see a benefit in being human???? Please tell me....Thats what people always say they love animals more than Humans!! we should just stay animals
Every liberal and democrat needs to hear this speech and learn from this man!
So true, liberals and democrats, in my experience, have been the most narcissistic selfish people but they virtue signal that they are good but they really just want free stuff from the government
Some of what Robert Greene beats here contradicts what he says in The 48 Laws of Power.Here Robert Greene says to accept people and to deal with them as individuals.In the 48 laws of power Robert Greene says "Avoid the unhappy and the unlucky."
Interesting point. I don’t think in the 48 laws he himself is saying you should avoid the happy and unlucky but he is relaying one of the laws in history that became the chapter. What he may think may be different which is why it can come across as a contradiction.
it is one of the most breathtaking clips I have ever seen. many thanks for sharing
Robert Greene is a genius and a wonderful writer.
Robert Greene is absolutely fucking brilliant!
Perfect video to start the day
Some people can manage their emotions, be self-aware and use logic and critical thinking. Narcissists are the ones who can't do that. It's not a natural animal instinct. That's a personality disorder. Not everyone thinks about getting more attention than others and comparing to others. These are all narcissist traits. And yes, it is constant for them. This is a super common disorder though, so I can see why he'd think it was everyone. Narcissists also can't understand the difference between themselves and others so makes sense he'd describe it as "viral emotions" as dangerous. People with boundaries have empathy for other's feelings and can separate their own feelings, so they aren't drained by someone else's feelings. Narcissists also have weak emotional intelligence. Compulsions are not normal either. Perfectionism is a narcissist trait also. Not everyone is that way. Not everyone is a "mystery to themselves" that is also a narc trait. They have no sense of self. And a victim complex also. Over-sensitivity. Self-absorption/obsession. And much more. I have some videos on it. They are emotionally stunted at a child's age (which is one reason they can't handle their own emotions). That is all projection to assume everyone has the same disorder. People are mostly narcissists, but there are also a small number of sociopaths, borderline, some healthy people, mentally ill people, etc. All these brains are super different!
Facts of nature, just leave and now wisdom,as I have done, to love, laughter , frail human joy...
Any other books like these that are not Robert Greene's please
Robert you are so damn right ...
What a brilliant man
Mr. Greene basically described the NPC metality.
