Would you define him as a philosopher? I understand that the literal translation of the word is 'lover of wisdom'. But modern society's description of a philosopher is someone who questions old ideas! Robert is a seeker of the facts of human nature! Whereas a philosopher contemplates what may or may not be true, Robert studies evidence and brings his findings to the public
@@DailyArchetype He's certainly one of the most valuable and important authors in all of history! And my personal favourite! The importance of his work is immense! As for a philosopher, if referring to the literal translation of the word rather than society's definition, then yes, an exceptional philosopher!
@Agnes V. Same with me. He taught me things that made my life easier, how to deal with toxic people, how to love myself (specially chapter 9 of the 50th law), how the world works... and lots of useful things that changed my life in a positive way. He is literally a virtual mentor.
I am from Kenya and I can say when the 48 laws of power came out in short form you could see people on buses in Nairobi carrying it around and reading it like it was the Bible. I sincerely hope that you are taking good care of your self we need you ❤
He is not underrated, he has best selling books. However he is drowned in, like everyone else, in this flood of information, authors and choices. It's up to user to be smart and sellective about his collection. I've been watching statistics about popularity of artists in the second half of the 20th century to present day. What stuck out for me was the fact that before, you could have musicians that were listened to for years, some for more than ten years. These days, someone gets huge surge in popularit, but two years later is almost forgotten.
Holy shit, Robert Greene has started a RUclips channel. This is probably the best thing that has happened so far in 2020..... I just want to say you are probably the most significant person I have read, in regards to my own personal growth / expansion of consciousness.
Wow...I don't want this to get over ...if you've read even one book by Robert Greene...you're really not the same again. As a history teacher I just feel so fascinated by the deep rooted historical knowledge that Robert has. It makes his words much more real and grounded....
OMG!! This is ground breaking news, my skull is going to explode! Your words linger within my bones. Your books and recommendations have changed me from a girl-child to a woman with a mind of her own. Thank you for doing this.
Very well put. What you've described is exactly what I see everyday. It's MADDENING to the point I've had to completely turn away from all news and social media and take a mental peace break. Thank you for summarizing what logical people see but can not explain to those with the narrow views of reality.
I can't even tell anymore if it's just a personal identity crisis.. or it's really on a societal level. But I've gone through pretty much everything you are describing as well. My new mantra is to just live one day after another and see what happens. Due to the pandemic you can't really plan anything. And all of the big discussions seem like a reality tv show. Where nobody has common sense anymore.
Robert green with his books has changed my life for the better am able to see things,people and events with clarity....one of my favourite quotes is distance yourself from the presence moment..Robert your are the best...
This man is literally dedicating his life to the human knowledge, for the progress of the society, it’s like he is taking each of us as his apprentice but we’re not thanking him enough.
Robert is bang on about which of the four generations we find ourselves in, but like us, he’s perspective on what the revolution is about may be clouded by his own subjectivity. The revolution is more likely to be something none of us, including Robert, can yet imagine.
Mr. Greene, Thank you so much for all of your work. I am not exaggerating when I say The 48 Laws changed my life, and Mastery and The Laws of Human Nature are equally excellent books. You are a genius of human nature, and I applaud your work and your efforts. Thank you so much for continuing to share your thoughts. We need rationality and understanding now more than ever.
I’m forwarding this video to my neices and nephews who feel the frustration of “things just aren’t right” in the world these days and who are also frustrated by the resistance to change. 💗👍🏼💗 FABULOUS! Can not wait for your future videos too.
I love you Robert Greene. I have read every one of your books, more than once. You are the wisest, most insightful person living. You understand humanity like no one else. You have taught me how live in and navigate this world of narcissistic humans
His books are like finding a magic genie lamp, you get whatever you wish for ... Power, Invincibility in War, Love, Success, Influence, Charm, Knowledge ... he picks great subjects
Some men would die of boredom, Or kill themselves Or kill one another in places where turkeys fly around already roasted, Where lover finds each other without delay; And keeps one another without difficulty.
And I was just reading that part today Robert. because I am seeing a lot of things that reflect the cultural revolution that you mentioned in that chapter. I think that chapter is most relevant for the times that we are in today
This is so key that you started a RUclips channel, this is the best way to spread the message from an individual perspective. Watching your videos, Robert, and greatly enjoying them, thank you.
Robert Greene is my favorite person in the world. All of his books, his talks, his insights are like beautiful gems we use to forever shapes our minds and lives.
"Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times." not sure who the quote is from but it feels very relevant to the topic.
Robert Greene I admire you so much! You’ve truly changed my life and the way I view the world. Thank you so much for sharing your insights and knowledge!
Dearest Robert, Ever since the start of the pandemic- since the eruption of global panic, I thought about your lessons about irrationality and reactivity within human nature. I thought about what you would advise and suggest in these times; I also knew that you would wait for when the time was right to offer your thoughts, unlike many who quickly jumped to offer timeless - nevertheless useful - advice. Though I interpreted the 'crisis' of society through the laws of irrationality, shortsightedness and conformity, you offer here a uniquely structured birds eye lens on the current times. It is humorous yet horrifying that by viewing history, we can see that societies and most individuals react in uncannily predicable ways. We are almost fated as a society to repeat certain patterns over and over again. Yet, there also emerges from this some relief from panic and indignation. Thank you for timeless books and more recent videos; I'm certain that your words have comforted, encouraged and empowered everyone who's lucky enough to have absorbed them. Wishing you good health and everlasting strength of mind..
The reason a lot of people are panicking is because of the knowledge of history and understand things will get really bad before they get better. One thing that hasn't happened in history or at least the history we know is a currency that has controlled the whole planet on the brink of total collapse. What outcome will that bring? We'll find out soon enough.
I am glad you have a RUclips channel now! You know I don’t agree with you on everything, but I always appreciate and benefit from your elucidations. You’re right, no point in resisting, but I will admit, even when I was a teenager I had a romantic fondness for the old ways from my grandmother’s era.
Listened to all of your books many times over the last few months. Looking forward to hearing, and watching your analysis of our times through the lens of history. We can all learn from the hard won lessons of history and not doom ourselves to pointless repetition, if only we listen, learn and act.
The shorts, the videos and the interviews of you changed my life and my path. Bowing down for your work and your spirit Master Robert. I am grateful to having found you on my way to Mastery.
wishing you many more years of good health and inspired writing. your books have deeply shaped my character and opened my eyes irrevocably to objective reality outside of myself that i am a small part of. thank you for translating and passing ideas forward that will help so many to crystallise themselves in times of increasing confusion and anxiety. thank you
Thank you so much Mentor!!! We needed this clarity. To add to the point you made about the 4 genrations, let me add a quote from Michael Hopf, which says " HARD TIMES CREATE STRONG MEN, STRONG MEN CREATE GOOD TIMES, GOOD TIMES CREATE WEAK MEN AND WEAK MEN CREATE HARD TIMES.
I am here. I just want to finally say and hope you see this.... THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR BEING AND CONTINUING BEING AN IMPACT ON MY LIFE🙏 I got introduced to your 48 laws book while in prison back in 1999. Ever since then I was hooked on your writing 🤙 My sun is now reading your Power book. Which I've read the exact book he has and it has my notes. As will my daughter read that same copy, along with his notes within it. Ty again 🤜🤛.

Mr Green's analyses are comprehensive, encompassing, and full of connectedness. You are a Master of Logic Sir. Thank You for your dedication to write books for us.
Robert - you are truly one of the greatest thinkers of our time! Your interpretation is spot on. I myself being a leading youth in this generation you’ve laid out a clear path for the prepared mind, which is necessary for maintaining rationality through the darkness unto the dawn.
This series, and particular talk, is a great act of love for society. Thank you, Robert. Thank you also for your overview of the zeitgeist and for the suggestions on how to handle the changes coming - and to strategize for the backlash.
Wow, thank you! Incredible times. Thank you for educating us and giving us a sense of direction. Some clarity in the storm. The speed of change right now can feel overwhelming and very confusing, like we are all living in a tumble dryer. Fascinating topic and I do feel the urgency you speak of. Much appreciated.✨
Mr. Robert I admire your work and your personality. Your courage in dealing with the raw truth about humans is honorable. Thank you so much for your wisdom. How could a fan get in touch with you?

sounds very meaningful and very good
I could hear Robert speak for hours! His insights are really deep and clarifying. One of the best authors of our times!

Weak men create hard times
Wow! Love this
Awesome

I know a few men I'd considered stronger than the average man, they do not create good times. If anything they create strong men too.
If only the world were so simple.
This man is literally dedicating his life to the human knowledge, for the progress of the society, it’s like he is taking each of us as his apprentice but we’re not thanking him enough.
Keep 'em coming, Mr Greene, we are in dire need of voices like yours.
Pleasant speech is das highest blessing
God, this. I keep coming back to it. I wish he continued this format of ‘lectures’. Just on his own, in his sitting room. It so so powerful.
Hurray!! Would love more videos!
Fancy seeing you here lol
So you're a Man of Culture as well.
I knew you read Mr. Greene's work. It's too obvious really.
Yes

One of my teachers said "History is the laboratory of ideas". Sir Robert Greene has used this lab very well !
Ideas worn less with time than words.
Therefore a pure mathematician has das beste chance at immortality
Just the most simplified explanation! I cant believe what i just heard! Thanks Rob!
And I was just reading that part today Robert. because I am seeing a lot of things that reflect the cultural revolution that you mentioned in that chapter. I think that chapter is most relevant for the times that we are in today
Same here. I have read this chapter today. It makes so much sense in this times
🖤
Christmas came early. Robert is partly responsible for my love of reading today.
It also applies for me, I started taking books seriously after coming across his books.
It makes me happy to see you recovering. You have been the greatest inspiration in my life.
