I've never liked this kind of toxic positivity atmosphere... There are several studies that show pessimism is also a good thing... Don't let yourself be absorbed by this type of thoughts but be self-critical and rational.
“We suffer more in imagination than in reality” that just changed my life
ihope it can change mine also
Brilliant, thank you for having Robert so frequently
He certainly is full of wisdom

Netflix "Borgen" is a good example of the techniques Greene discusses here. It's a practiced skill and worth learning. I just finished the entire series and loved it.
@@VaynerSpeakers uuuuiuu out uuuuu
The Queensberry rules of boxing!
I was blessed to be raised as a child to have morals and common sense. You rock Mr. Green.
"It's resistance that make us stronger". Thank you, Robert, for this one. As when we are working out, as in life when we face a problem, it's resistance that makes us stronger. Why do we seek resistance in one scenario and run away from it in the other?
This is so true. I used to be agreeable but have slowly started tilting more towards being disagreeable unless I'm proved wrong. That resistance was uncomfortable at first.
So absolutely profound.
Someone told me use both their daily meditations for insight. I’ve incorporated each antidote into my AM journal. I’m a month in and I feel like I’m winning every day. How could I loose with these two to help gear me up for the day. ❤️
These are the only 2 authors I read from, I'm with you on that
What an awesome attitude. Keep going!!!
Me too! I read the daily pages for each every morning!
@@StefanieSpencer yay!! That’s fantastic!
@@andypeterson6165 😊❤️
Great Conversation. I enjoyed every bit of it.
Such an honour & privilege to witness these two great wise writers Robert Greene & Ryan Holiday together in the same room, discussing the elegant virtues of stoicism as a creed for our times. Gratitude+++🙏💙
Ryan dont now nothing man
This man is pure gold, started to appreciate him after I turning 34
Thank you Ryan and Mr. Greene for the education I receive every time we are graced with your wisdom. This is the Stoa of RUclips.

My two favorite people in the same room! Thank you!

I really enjoyed this conversation. I do feel like the anti-vax sentiment has not aged that well. We should definitely be sympathetic to these people. In my lifetime I have seen big pharma wreak havoc and death with the opioid crisis. I’ve lost people to it myself. That crisis was %100 the fault of big pharma. I’d say that’s good reason to treat people with kindness end empathy who are suspicious of the vaccine. Also, the studies can’t be released for 50 years and what we have seen has been heavily heavily redacted. You are them, they are you. You taught me that.
The anti Vax sentiment has aged very well. "We have to live with these people," he said. Both of them should be ashamed and never allowed to forget what they've wrought on society. A banishment from the public square is the only acceptable fate.
Thank you for your comment. We are all here trying to learn and be better. I did not agree with the covid vaccine or the many boosters, (especially when government and employers tried to force you) but do not consider myself anti-vaccine at all. Getting words of wisdom from people who don't think like you is a great learning experience on how you handle things. It was a very good conversation.
Robert Greene is so amazing, I love everything he says .
Thank you for providing a glimpse of sanity on RUclips.
This interview is like a class on how to be an oblivious hypocrite, by Bob Verde.
What a privilege to be able to sit in on this conversation with y'all. Thanks for the upload.
Top 10 duos of all time
One of the best Robert Greene interviews
I’ve combined the daily stoic and daily laws into my new journaling habit, and I often look forward to journal on both of their thoughts.
Been doing the same!

What’s your journaling habit?
Watching these 2 legends is like watching a sensei and student discussing..
Every word Robert says resonates so deeply with me. He articulates so well. What an outstanding individual. Thank you 🙏
26:18 that's why I appreciate Robert so much he constantly engages ideas and is not a yes man
Even that he's way older than most of us he has more life in his eyes than many young people living today
Two best friends talking about their best favorite topic in the world. What a wonderful conversation. !Thanks for sharing.
i love ryan holiday, his books helps me calm the inner storms brought by hostile working enviroment
but i also love the wisdoms of robert greene he speaks for all of us, us who was abused ,bullied in the office politics, he wears our shoes ,he breathes the air we breathe upon working with good and bad people., the exposure, the experience ,he summed that up in this books , for someone who had been alot of jobs and expose to different people the wisdom on how to deal with them is priceless
Over come your fear and move forward wisdom is godly ✨
Hey Ryan,
“To be free of passion yet full of love” stood out to me as well. If you recall the sentence before that Marcus said “not to display anger or other emotions”. So what I think it means is if you’re angry at something you don’t allow yourself to go into a rage(passion) , but you’re still fully aware of how you feel (love). Another example, in romance, passion would be infatuation with the other person whereas love would be a clear on your desire for the other person. In summary I believe he is referring to an Aristotelian mean in a very poetic an eloquent fashion.
-Thankyou
Loved this analysis, wish you the best🙏
PS - In particular the shows regarding “Monarch programming” as well as the Brad Olson interview. Very eye-opening stuff to consider regarding being conscious and aware of what is around us and facing fear. Thank you guys for your awesome work.
A Robert Greene & Ryan Holiday podcast/interview/conversation must happen again‼️ Love listening to Robert talk to his most prolific student. And sharing it with an audience is just a privilege, very grateful to be able to witness this.
Two great minds melding, it's awesome. I am grateful that you two exist in my time line.

“The circumstances are totally neutral.” Hard to get to that point, but…That’s a huge piece!
I want to push back on what robert said about interview preparation, and having a plan in general. What works for me a lot is indifference with confidence. If you understand that thing does not matter(indifference) and that you’re a capable(confidence) it usually goes well. Look you’re not going to be 10/10 in your life, but as long as you’re scoring you can still be playing. 6/10 without stress and anticipation is soo much better

It is The Marquess of Queensbury Rules...Sirs... Enjoyable dialogue...
This is awesome! Always great when these two come together
This episode is so great. Thank you guys.
Robert Greene is a master
Amazing mental stimulation being projected from these two.
How can you be grateful for the things you don't like? That you wish didn't happen? Ryan here I am shedding tears at the beauty of this concept. It hit me hard.

Surviving is winning!
Greene is right, Musashi is amazing....the book written by Wilson I could not put down, incredible story
Yoshikawa book on Musashi the best.
Ryan, I watched your tiktok about Robert's 48 Rules of Power a week ago and decided that will be my book for W4 and now after finishing the book, this talk came out on RUclips. Everything you do resonates with me and thanks for your contribution in the world. You guys are great inspiration and made me rethink how I act in this world and how to be a better person I was yesterday.
Thank you both ❤
Very insightful and instructive! Thank you for sharing with us.
4:30 is life a boxing match?
18:59 you can't expect an utopia
24:54 the problem with humans
1:00:31 how did Robert's near death experience changed him?
I wish i had more time to listen to all of this. Fortunately Ryan puts out shorts that help his teachings digest able in small bites too.
Knowledge, Wisdom, & Understanding
Best interview ever Ryan! Thank you.
Both men seemed more ready to impart their lessons than to absorb the other’s lessons.
I just discovered your page and instantly signed up for the daily morning emails. I look forward to incorporating to my routine. Thank You! :)
Amazing right?
I've bought all your books... Never will again
Why not? And whose books ur talking bout
I think the Boxing Rules are called "Queensbury Rules" . I literally cannot believe I can tell my 2 favourite writers something, after they have taught me an unbelievable amount about so many things!
Marquess of Queensbury who’s son was the lover of Oscar Wilde, for whom the good Marquess hated with a passion. True story.
Great advise. Especially for situations in the workplace.
What an engaging video! Thanks for this inspiring and thoughtful conversation.

Such a deep interesting conversation. So much to learn love you two ;)
I find this so reassuring!
... as a German Biologist - more than 10 years ago - I saw the first Videos of Greene - with his BULGING neck veins - and I wondered - is this a sure sign of a Stroke to come. So sad this then happened. He is the most adorable, wonderful humble person I can think of.
Warum hat ihn niemand gewarnt
@Whispery Banalization. Greene created a horrible STRESS himself to do the super human work. He did long distance swimming - which is mostly anaerobic. He had Stress Molecules in his Blood all the time. This leads to Blood clotting. Paradox. Only with this Lifestyle he was able to CREATE. When we do all to live healthy - we may create too much Stress to stay healthy - Greene is so stubborn - he does not listen to any advice... this killed Steve Jobs...
I needed this. Thank you
Great meditation to start the day=]
*no one deserves success more than this channel keen to see your continued growth!*
*You've got this :)*
I've just been searching substantial videos on RUclips to feel more productive and feel good about how i spend my time as a 22 year old.
This is my first exploration to Stoicism and I didn't even know the word before watching this. Though I'm not that well versed with the philosophies and inspirational people you mentioned, it is amazing how I could still grasp what you were trying to say. I feel that could really understand your points from my own perspective.
I'm grateful to have come across this video. I learned a lot and the video was fruitful the entire duration. Thank You!
Loved the mention of Mushashi. In a lot of ways I think he could be considered an Eastern Stoic
read the vagabond manga, amazing artwork, it's a fictional interpretation of Miyamoto's life and development as a human beign

Thank you
Such a great conversation! So many great insights. As a beginning stoic I do notice it’s hard to almost become narcissistic about the world and others who are not…mainly because this way of thinking is so much so on a higher level of thinking than the majority of this ultimately primal world.

I’m one year late to this video. But do not fall asleep on the Buffalo Bills. Sean McDermott has some superior discipline himself, keep up the great work. I’m grateful to find you. Oh & Go Bills! 👊😊
Thank you for your podcasts. I am a new listener and shared some with friends.
I was thinking the same thing:there’s an icky sweetness to the smell

Life changing book
I wish I'd been taught this.... I was young and found life very rough but taught not to defend myself but that conflict was not normal and meant that there was something wrong with me
I love this interview, I have watched it a few times. Now I'm watching it and I got 10 ads for your polar bear plunge and I'm only half way through. It's a little excessive.
ok ok another book i am buying lol this was awesome!!!
My practice of stoicism enabled me to harness my emotions as a tool like an actor and then put them away in a draw. A bit cynical maybe but freeing.
I realized that the emotions I used to feel were mostly those of others, a manipulation, energetic vampires but not what I felt whatsoever. There are collective emotions which are very sneaky because they embroil you forcibly. Stoicism and discernment is the same, It's all about the supraconsciousness and I say supra because the consciousnesse can be altered by everything we see in the media etc... But the supraconsciousness is unadulterated. It's this part of you that is not in the body, you can call it spirit guide, that knows what's beyond the veil.
Gratitude 🙏
@Sk9epx It's not something that you can explain. It's an experience to be lived individually once you intend to break away from the 3D consciousness which is a manipulation in order to keep you in a mental jail. Don't give your consent and live this experience like an actor in a movie knowing that you are more than that on a spiritual level
28:00 On Empathy and leads to loving who your emphasising with reminds me of the book "Enders Game" where he talks about knowing his enemy so closely he couldn't help but love them...
topic was good but the shade thrown at ppl that disagree with them politically or with vax was disappointing but i guess even the elites don't practice what they preach.
Don't expect them to be perfect at what they preach.
Stoicism and hardcore punk rock are the keys to a happy life.
I love your conversations together!
Robert is an encyclopedia
Good 👍
aha, two of my favorite men on Earth !!!!!!!! cool !

You can't have more empathy/support/ability to help for someone than they have for themselves.

RIP everyone everywhere.
In disasters, the body is destroyed, but the soul is released and with us forever.
This will pass folks for all of us. Stay strong and ready to defend yourselves alway, if the need arrives.
Listen to Marcus Aurelius for your mental help. Stoicism rocks. All of them.
Celibacy rocks ladies. Close your legs, mouth and sleep on your back alone. Never shack. I married at 27 and 31, and was a virgin. I never shacked, and I married. First hubby was 8 years older and the second husband was 22 years older, and he died at 67 of a heart attack.
We had one daughter, that I raised from conception at age 37.
I worked for my income , and my life never depended on a man. I had plenty platonic friends all over the world, and I was raised to have morals. I thank my great grandparents, who raised me
to care for my body, and do not be a whore, or have a baby out of wedlock.
27:28 (I know this post is a year old, but this thought may be relevant to someone). You’re talking about love and it reminded me of a recent conversation. The jest of it was about what “real” love is. My sister insisted it was an emotion. I argued that it requires ignoring your emotions. Love is an action. You are able to DO something when everything in you wants to run away. Think of it this way. Your baby has just ruined his diaper and it’s EVERYWHERE. Your instinct is NOT to clean up the mess. But you do. And you smile and make the baby comfortable and happy. You don’t act angry or put out. You DO what needs to be done. That’s love.
Looks like you retrofit your LaSportiva shoes with Salomon lacing system. I’m the only person I’ve known to ever do this, glad to see there are others who have seen the light!
