QUOTES:
“I think we consider ourselves human, obviously we’re human beings, but I don’t buy that definition. I think that we’re actually animals, that we have an animal nature and we have to become human. And we become human by overcoming some of these deep-rooted animal forces within us.”

Words cannot describe how fortunate we are to have people like him into our world !
His book Mastery was the first book that changed my life completely. I have become a completely different person after reading that book and it serves and influence me to this day. I consider him my mentor and I want to thank him with all my heart. I hope you recover completely from your stroke. Peace.
Amazing !!
Me too, mastery is my favorite, im currently reading Human Nature
@Augustine Twumasi its awesome but mastery was the first one that transformed me.
@Stinkin Joe I treated it like my life's handbook. I wrote a summary of each chapter and kept reading those repeatedly, I would look for situations where I could apply these principles in real life. This book made me rethink my entire life, I changed all my habits, it was my REBIRTH.
I can relate. I started with Mastery too and it is still super impactful.
He is a Brilliant man. We are lucky to have him in this generation. Thank you! 😊🦋
Quit idolizing and get to work lady
I'm extremely lucky to have found his books which are like a life raft.
Very true, I feel the same!
This man is evil and wicked ! Open your eyes!
Robert Greene
made Carl Jung’s theory of the shadow a lot clearer for modern people.
Amazed!
I had a bad, bad period where everything overwhelmed me and emotionally I handled it badly. Resentment and vengeance characterized my attituded best. When I finally stopped the dangerous, worthless thinking, I also let go of the hatred and desire for destruction of my perceived enemies. I prayed for their wellbeing instead, and I can't stop smiling and reveling over the sense of spiritual alleviation 💗
Awesome
Anger is the most powerful emotion--more powerful than love. Take it, channel it. You'll surprise yourself with what you'll accomplish.
I am a bit late to see this but I am literally listening to every Robert Greene interview I can find online since I have discovered him! He is such en eloquent, wise & humble person. Thank you Tom for another great interview.
May this great man heal completely. His knowledge is pure gold.
"I think that we're actually animals that have to become human".... Oh wow... Yes! 🙌
we are just hairless apes . . Humans are primates, but the primates that we most closely resemble are the apes. We are therefore classified along with all other apes in a primate sub-group known as the hominoids (Superfamily Hominoidea).
Tom, u are just hell of a listener🙂
so true. extremely important skill for interviews
His interviews are such a pleasure to watch because of it. He's genuinely interested.
Agree. No interrupting. Smart questions.
Not an easy skill to master
It's called generative listening. Tom is willing to change his will or paradigm or value system.
His books will change your life, I'll read them once a year until I die.
I listen to the audio books as a refresher.
Can you pls send the link of his book
Who knew the Chariot tarot card was actually more accurate a depiction of human nature than what common knowledge defines human nature to be.
@@MD_Hollywood. these audiobook are less than 1/3 of actual books
Black Tortoise really? How do you think? I have repeatedly encountered that card lately or even depictions of that card so I’d love to know your opinion.
🇪🇬 This man is a legend..
I intended to put my country's flag to show how his knowledge and words are repected by people all over the world..
Thank alot for this episode i loved your intro Tom
Man I really appreciate Robert I have to rewatch this vid every now and then. Really glad to see Egypt flag here 🇸🇦
🇺🇲 U.S.A here and soo glad to see 👀 the world here 🙌 #StayLegendary my #RUclipsSavedMyLifeCanSaveYoursToo crew ❤ 🌠💃💃
"Accept things as they are. This is a fact of life and how can I make it into something strong" HEART MELTS at his sincerity and the sound of truth ♥
Soooooo goood. Robert Greene!
A combination of Stoicism, Buddhist philosophy, science and modern progression
Julien Hartwich totally agree. Rings a lot on stoicism
More Maquiavel I would say
This guys writings have made a huge difference in how I conduct myself.
My favorite of Tom's interviews. I can't believe it's taken me 35 years to discover Robert Greene's work. This is exactly the teachings I've been looking for on my journey in shadow work.
Lisa it took me 40 years so all not is lost ;-))
I feel the same way . Took me 35 years too.
So many great interviews but sometimes almost becomes overwhelming. This really makes you want to be influenced by this man's revelations.
8:00 Mastery vs Awareness (application of mastery)
14:40 Question your own biases
17:16 Understanding vs self projection
18:18 Awareness through observation
26:32 Reality acceptance/improvement
35:10
Thanks
Thank you for the preview
You're awesome!
So emotional. Totally explained the inner child fears of overcoming difficulties, letting go..
Jana Radonjic just paused the video....to say your hair looks amazing 😉
Who else wishes Robert Greene was their uncle 💯💯🔥
Robert Greene is my favorite uncle and Jordan Peterson is the father I never had, I only got 12 rules for my life and 48 laws for power, come at me bro
Want him as my mentor
hey cousin.
fuckin guys probably a psycho hell no , look at his eyes for Christ sake, he’ll read his writing he wrote the laws of manipulation
I hope in my next life, and he is living in same town
I don t envy other people because I don t know the pains and struggle they have. I don't know the debts they have , i don't know their past I don't know their future. I only know that we all suffer in different ways and that no one has a charmed life
wow
@@geraldcheruiyot4965 😂😂😂
well said
That's a noble thought, but, unfortunately, the unconscious forces of our human nature will pull us towards emotions and biases that we rather repress.
@A D yep.. and some have it much worse than others.
3 months before my dad passed away, I read Roberr Greene's book The 50th Laws. It helped me a lot. It saved me frm all negative emotions and helped me to face the truth that my dad is gone forever. But I have faith that one day I will be able to meet him again ❤
my dad passed away a month ago and i'll read his books...
@@picklefickle243 I hope you find peace and progress.much love
@@dbrad5197 ♡
These talks give more value than most university lectures. Great job Tom!
University is useless for💤💤
Is it just me or does this man carry so much energy you can literally see his bright yellow aura when they zoom out? Such an intelligent and inspirational person.
🤨
He seems super anxious to me lol
@@leeanza5620 only to the untrained eye
I can see it too like forreal
But this might be also something else like a shadow or a camera problem.
I am watching this again just at the right time. Like Robert, I have had illness suddenly and drastically change my physical ability. I spend much of my time at home/in bed and have needed the care of other people at times. He is right about your attitude and mindset. You really have to shift your mindset to acceptance in order to make the best of your situation and transpire; regardless of current limitations.
Robert Greene has been one of my most influential leaders thru is writing. Beautiful interview.
“Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. At all counts, it forms an unconscious snag, thwarting our most well-meant intentions.” (Carl Jung)
Why am I not surprised you follow Tom. You two have had a huge impact on my life. Thanks man.
A state called sin
dance with your demons, rather than running away from them
Shadow work
Bro. How does one embody the shadow?
I had a deep insight after a long intense period of zen meditation many years ago that impressed itself into the rest of my life, and that seems so close to what Greene is talking about here. I saw in an instant that all our lives are an endless circular smokescreen of mental habit. But it's just that! A smokescreen. It's the wisp of a shadow within the totality of All, of Eternity, of incredible Love and Intelligence. I was just blown away. I have been constantly asking myself since then "Who am I?".
28:00 "I'll be back to where I was, nothing will stop me" - the heart of a real man, not accepting defeat
I can't get over Robert Greene's books. They are truly unique and amazing.
I loved this interview. I had to pause several times to keep up with the notes.
Very eye-opening and filled with precise information that got me a lot of value.
Thank you for doing this interview with Robert, Tom.
We are all connected
Emotions are highly contagious
Our survival depends on how we relate to other people
i am so attracted to intelligent and clever people
You must be but ugly
@@theghost3061 Although you fucked up on your spelling of BUTT, I'll let it go because I read that insult in a Shakespearean way and it was hilarious.
@@theghost3061 This is your shadow speaking
get some
@@asupertramp948 Me too! Hahaha.
Great interview Tom. Your style of well prepared questions and real listening sets you apart from others playing in the same space. You judge very well the time to and space you give to guests to respond before stepping in. I love how it gives guests an extra few % that most interviewers don't manage to elicit. Great work.
The dark side is also part of you, don't ignore it, nor run away from it.. Instead embrace it and control it...
agreed
So vital!
Rudolph Steiner takes an interesting stance in that he talks about luciferic and armonic forces of darkness built into the fabric of consiousness in this life that are to be bent to our will. Almost in that as we do that we help overcome darkness in all levels of reality. Kind of a trip to think about when you consider the implications
@@elijahstiner3152 I agree, I made a video about that on my channel using star wars to illustrate it... I also explained how to manage it... The problem is that video is too long, so I gotta redo it, shorter and more entertaining... But check it out if you have time... I definitely bring a unique perspective, would love to ear your feedback
@@WealthEngineering the content is good though some serious time could be cut out by just concentrating on the meat of the issue. Re edit or re record with some more efficiency and it will be easier to follow 👍
I love how absolutely honest he is even with himself first it’s really refreshing and inspiring. I too am going to start challenging myself daily and being honest
I’m 58 and have just discovered Robert Greene and read his first book in a day. I absolutely love this man he is a Genius. I’ve stated reading the Art of Seduction. Omg I cannot put this book down it’s sooo good. Cannot wait to read all his books. ❤️❤️❤️
Starting to believe Tom might just be Santa, it's a real gift to see Robert Greene on the show again 🎄🎆🎉
Happy holidays y'all ✨
Star Destroyer 😂
Best ending to the years 2018 David goggins - Robert Greene
I love that Part from Mastery :
“In dealing with fools you must adopt the following philosophy: they are simply a part of life, like rocks or furniture. All of us have foolish sides, moments in which we lose our heads and think more of our ego or short-term goals. It is human nature. Seeing this foolishness within you, you can then accept it in others. This will allow you to smile at their antics, to tolerate their presence as you would a silly child, and to avoid the madness of trying to change them. It is all part of the human comedy, and it is nothing to get upset about or lose sleep over”
I love how he calls me out through his books (and interviews) that I don’t know about myself at all. I just found him during this pandemic, and it’s already changing how I approach to things and people. Perspectives are changing.
Ok. I'm 15 mins in and I'm already fascinated by this man. I didn't know his books but he's probable got himself a new reader. I love how he tells it as it is: examine yourself everyday and be honest with yourself. Question yourself. Love it! I live by that and it's inspiring to see other people dig deep into that same ideal.
Cristina You are making a great decision take it from a fan of robert greene! :)
You can find hus audio book Laws of Human nature here on RUclips. Xo
One of my favorite things to do is observe people, and so, with some many years doing that, I can read their non verbal language easily.
Few years ago, when I was married to a person that speak another language, we went to visit his family, and after a month of being there non understanding their language but observing people's non verbal language, I knew all the relationships and all the secrets between each other. It was fascinating.
I think visiting another country where you can not use your language all the time is a very humbling and good practice for your mind.
that's a good idea.
The Delta Yes, I was. My husband was from Iran. We spent a month there every two years.
Well, in big gatherings everybody will speak in Farsi and I will observe. And because the language was not there, I could see the non verbal communication, that is as powerful as language.
You could do that with family pictures and see which children are close to which parent.
As humans, we are always sending messages.
Also, when I was working as an architect, we had to do a analysis if public housing in Florida.
It was really impressive that after entering in a house, for the few details in the rooms you could tell so much. Who was religious, responsible, organized, good parent, etc. Which were their priorities, etc.
What you need to do, is quiet the noise around you and observe.
We are always leaving things in our path of who we are, and how we see the world.
I think that the best advice to a new parent is not to buy all the gadgets and read all the blogs, but observe the baby and learn what that little being is.
A walking genius! I love his books freaking awesome!!! The best book author period
Tom, I watch your impact videos when I am exercising for an hour and I have learnt a lot from your guests. So thank you!! 👍😃
Liked and then started watching, cause already know its going to be Amazing!!
Thank you so much for having Robert on this show. I've been an avid reader of his books for YEARS and was thrilled when The Laws of Human Nature was published -- purchased it as an ebook, paperback, and audiobook. Ha! This is just so enlightening... and it's so incredible to listen to him explain his worldview and view on mankind. He's often called a modern Machiavelli (which they don't tend to mean as a compliment), but he isn't -- although he's certainly as sharp as old Niccolo.
Sad to see that he's clearly still struggling after suffering a stroke. I was wondering what was going on, but that explained it. I wish him well -- and if he reads this, I'd tell him to take pride in how he can now also teach others (i.e.: readers/viewers) how to come back after such a horrendous experience.
Thank you for the description Tom it is really useful when you running out of time and want the key points from the video.
Fantastic interview. Such immense wisdom about the human animal and its true nature contained within this discussion. I'm nearly halfway through this newest book by Robert and while the format is somewhat different from some of his earlier books (they're all amazing!) I believe that this one is his most important book yet in terms of the value he has given to humanity. On another note, Tom is truly an outstanding interviewer; knowledgable, prepared, and his interview style and questions created the environment for his guest to shine. Well-done, gentleman. Thank you for sharing with us!
Never out shine the master tom 😁
@pink Cat very good point. I have no idea why someone would comment such a thing. How could they possibly think that Tom was doing anything but patiently listening???? What an odd and absurd thing to say. Couldn't agree more.
@@scottgreen132 i think he was joking 🤷♂️
@@theone7059 I was being facetious
@@scottgreen132 ah I see. Can't really tell on RUclips since you can find literally all stereotypes of people under one video lmao
@@theone7059 yeah, I found the original comment so ridiculous, I first wrote a retort, then thought better of it and wrote what I wrote.
Thank you Tomas and Robert. Robert is getting better and more stronger every day. Warm greetings from cold weather Ireland.🍀
This episode definitely needs a part two! I have watched most of Robert Greene's interviews and this is by far my favorite! It felt like it was only 20mins long! Thank you, great interview! Couldn't get enough! I was so thrilled when I saw this, two of my favorites!
This interview was absolutely bucking frilliant! I'm officially sold on Mastery as I've been contemplating on it for the longest time.
Great video. I’ve always been a fan of Robert Greene. I’m happy that he was so open and sincere.
This was so enlightening. Awesome interview. Hope for all the best to Robert. Cheers \m/
Thank you Impact Theory for having Robert Greene on. What a man!
I love him, and I wish him a very long healthy life and wish for a lot of other great books he will write. He is definitely so influential. Thank you for this interview and thank you for this extraordinary channel.
Wow this is wonderful! Just shared with three people! Going to get ‘Mastery’ and start following this guy!
When Tom says "Walk us through..."
I am so inspired by this interview. I am looking forward to reading his books.
Thank you Tom for bringing those amazing people in my life.
Thank you again Tom, Merry Christmas and Happy holidays.
Amazing road to our own awareness!!! Thank you Tom for bringing Robert Green’s views to our attention and for this wonderful interview 🙏
Love his teachings. Great man. Br From SE Eu.
Love Robert Greene! Have read Laws of Power about 5 times!
Good to se you here Dr :)
A u a slow learner?
I will now, thank you!
I love him so much
Wow
Amazing and valuable. Thank you for this interview.
Hey Tom- I've been watching some of your interviews. Impact you are making here is amazing. I'm really grateful for learning wisdom from all the amazing people in the interviews. Thank you for finding them and sharing with us. Hope I give back what I've learned from all this. :)
Damn so many good authors, so many good books and so little time! anyway, thank you Tom! another great interview!
Hi Tom,
I don’t usually comment on RUclips but your interviews are amazing. Thank you for bringing these inspiring individuals to Impact Theory. My life has changed tremendously since I encountered your channel. Whenever there are moments of doubts, I listen to these interviews and feel so inspired again. You are doing wonderful work, keep it up man!
Best,
Sunny
Thank you Impact Theory team for this amazing interview!
Great to see Robert moving forward, after his health scare. Warm greetings from IRELAND. Thank you.
I watched this and then I read Mastery. Mr. Greene became one of my favorite writers! Much love for this show, this is definitely one of the best episodes
So good ! your videos , keep me on my toes to put out the best daily videos possible ! good job !
Amazing messages! Thank you for this Tom and Robert
Thank you so much Tom! Amazing guests!
One of the best guests yet... (And that's saying a lot)
The best video ever recorded. Thanks Tom.
Super insightful. Thank you! I have to get more of his content, I would love to integrate more of his philosophies into my life.
I've watched this interview so many times and every time,I learn something new
I'm glad I listen to this conversation. I like hearing this perspective that we're essentially animals trying to become humans. How important it is to question the emotions we feel and observe other people through their non-verbals. I haven't read any of Robert's books yet, but I will put them all on my reading list. Thanks to Tom for being such an amazing interviewer as well.
Another fantastic interview by Tom and I love Robert Greene
Robert Greene is too Epic. Amazing interview. What a guy, no words.
How calm is he!
Thanks Tom for having this!
I can't wait watching this. I started an animated series about the Rules from Robert's book so any interview will help me moving forward with the episodes. This is the Alpha Book.
Robert Greene is truly one of the most influential writers of the modern era. A legacy is huge in his case because Ryan Holiday follows his steps.
I subscribed to your channel good work man wich you the best
I was introduced to Robert Greene by your video. Fantastic channel.
@@Breakingtheglasswall Great to hear that!
@@googler763 Thanks man!
what a refreshingly sincere genuine human being this man is. Totally agree with the meditation thing. I think it is key to unlocking so much and re-setting the mind.
I am so grateful that I have access to this knowledge. Thanks, Tom. Thank you.
Thank you, Tom, for inviting Robert Greene!!! He is an amazing writer!
The job you are doing tom it is incredible to bring the great mind to this show and they share their philosophies with us the whole young generation is thankful to you.Tom I am doing a humble request to you to invite some spiritual teachers also such as Don Miguel Ruiz, Echort TOlly ,oprah and many other.thanks and best regards in advance.
Totally am in awwwww of this Man.. Im finally realizing that i came up with conclusion.many years ago.. . From my insecurities, it made me understand myself.. solidifies my conclusion
Robert greene is a living prove that I am not crazy but in a different level..
Or that you're not the only sociopath walking the streets😉
Likewise
I loved this, what a beautiful interview. I listened to audiobook of Greenes "48 laws of power" in 2014, stuck to my mind since then.
thank you tom, always a pleasure to watch your interviews.
In my humble opinion, Mr. Robert Greene's philosophy should be a subject of study in the educational systems all over the World, specifically the one related to dealing with the Laws of human nature, power, strategy and mastery.
Dude, i study philosophy and things what he is talking about is in Socrates Philosophy (I know that I dont know nothing), he even told delphic maxim *know yourself*. He is just talking about basic psychology (with was born from phlisosophy somewhere like 200 years ago). As he said you need only take some books and read...and think about what you read. That is all.
I dont know what I target with my comment, just wanna say that if you wanna more try to Plato Dialogues, or Wittgenstein - Tractatus logico-philosophicus. I also suggest Freud - Vorlesungen zur Einführung in die Psychoanalyse (Dont know how to translate this but for sure it is easy to find).
That are some laws that we are living with so you dont need to read any books, but you should to know what focus on. :)
Lol nah that would give the masses power, and those in power do not want that.
@@st.robespierre exactly
I just bought the hell out of this book
Tom, besides the amazing content IT offers, I want to say something that really hits me every time and i just love it. Obviously you have done a lot of homework prior to interviewing people, but then your questions are super rich and interesting which enables speakers to also answer in a super informative way. I have watched other podcasts of entrepreneurs who rely on their guest too much! The speaker ends up having a monologue and the "conversation" goes in all directions, instead of following a certain narrative. I also love how sincerely and openly you approach speakers who have gone / are going through difficult moments, like Greene. I particularly liked that you noted his alignment with Erickson and tied it to his (Greene's) current work. Another thing that must be appreciated is how your questions carefully drive the narrative of each IT episode! I love it and Thank you!
Wow! What great interview. Lots of really good information. Thank you both!
You explained really well why it's so important to become aware of our dark side so as to let go of it.
Alan Watts, Jordan Peterson and respectively, Robert Greene, had morphed my mind and will continue to do so
indeed
Best, best gues in your show. Well done, Tom! Happy Christmas!
His book is on my top 3 ever. Thank you Mr. Greene.
This man Tom looked so scared when Rob said "i want to get inside your brain and alter how u look at the world"
that intro though... 👌
Thanks for bringing us this interview Tom!
Christmas came early. I love Robert and his amazing works.
