  • In this talk at SMU Dallas in 2014, I discuss why acquiring skills is invaluable, that mastery is attainable for everyone, and what you can do to become a master.
    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.

    Robert’s books have stood the test of time from all these gurus and trends over the years on the internet. Every time I get confused and sucked into a new trend, his books have always saved me from bullshit. That’s one hell of an achievement.

      His books are really good because they are realistic, they don't try to sell some miracle.
      That said, the quality of his books are uneven. It often does feel like he's writing without much experience to back things up, for example I feel the book on seduction and some others are much weaker than the book on power which is his best one. They're entertaining books but as to how real they are and accurate? Meh. Personally my favorite books of his are Laws of Power and Laws of Human Nature.

    One of the most compelling aspects of this video is Greene's emphasis on the importance of taking responsibility for one's own life and decisions. He encourages viewers to adopt a proactive mindset, to set clear goals, and to develop the necessary skills and knowledge to achieve those goals.
    "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved."
    Greene's presentation style is dynamic and engaging, making the video an enjoyable watch. He provides numerous examples and anecdotes from his own life and the lives of others, which help to illustrate his points and make his ideas more relatable.
    Overall, this video is an excellent resource for anyone who is looking to take control of their life and achieve success and fulfillment on their own terms. Greene's insights and strategies are practical, actionable, and rooted in his extensive experience and research, making them a valuable asset to anyone seeking to improve their personal or professional life.

    Robert , I have never met you but I would really like to so I can just thank you with the amount of wisdom that you have provided me through tough and unclear times . I am currently 18 years old and have always had this obsession for sports , particularly baseball . I just feel that my internal radar goes off whenever I am in a stadium and just feel like it's my destiny to pursue it and become the best or die trying . Of course at 18 I have already had experience with people trying to get me to conform and just choose a safe route. But I know that I am meant for something extraordinary , And I would really like to thank you for providing me with your words as guidance through my way to MASTERY.

    Unfortunately and I guess it is Fortunate now that I look back. When I read Robert Greene Books I was Embarrassed, angry, Self Embarrassed, Self Angry, How Could I be so blind to see, that I was being played because I was being Authentic, Most of my peers were always asking for help with things, and I would blindly help with a smile. Now I know that I was an idiot and everyone was taking advantage of the neighborhood fool that will give and ask for it back. Now i know i was the one who looked around the room and finally figured out that there are two types of men Perpetrator and victims. I was proud that I did not hurt others, now i know that is because i was the idiot victim, no more victim here, Don't play me i will bite back...lol.

    Superb talk. Great conclusions on oneself as emotional connectivity. Truly, not as genetic having physical brains nor deriving richness by parental assets. True connections could be only from within, which itself is a pure self to supreme self, as energies. Not that everyone could get motivated within in today's very sophisticated technological world. However, if the energies are attracted and blessing the conditioned living entities, it could connect, keep connecting, getting connected like the examples discussed be it Faraday or Yogi matsu.
    Thanks again as I like, enjoy listening to such super plain, super inspiring talks.

    Thank you for this video. I've watched all your lectures on RUclips (I don't mean interviews and also don't mean your videos on your RUclips channels).
    There's only 5 of them. And I'm glad, that I'll get to watch the 6th one.

    We are all here to play our part in the ever continual development of the story of the human race on planet Earth through eternity. Time is just an illusion of the physical realm, a little stamp we try to put on eternity.

      Yeah, maybe it sounds nice, but if you analyse it just a little, you'll find that these are completely empty two sentences void of any substantial meaning.

    The background music is distracting and entirely unnecessary. Great lecture, thank you sir for sharing.
