I only recently discovered Robert Green, and I am completely blown away. He is a fountain of wisdom and intellect and kindness. I’m so grateful he is sharing his inner knowledge with me and whole world.
I completely agree with you! 😄 I discovered Robert Greene only recently too. He's an amazing soul. Reading his book "Mastery" right now, and I am completely hooked! ❤
If you wanna be successful, you must take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to making you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life...
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional
I trade as a side hustle while keeping my job. I'm tired of trading in losses myself. I've blown my account twice and it's frustrating. I see people making a living out of trading and I want to do the same. Please I need help can someone teach me how to trade?

Love Robert Green's books, im hoping to read them all one day. And as i listened to this video i realized that as a women of 35 yrs, i have been able to have 2 careers that as a child i wanted to be. First i became a cosmetologist right after high school and worked in that industry for 10 yrs but then i had a shift and now i was able to successfully open a Dog walking pet service business and on my way into a dog trainer. Been working with trainers from Cesar Milan, the Dog whisperer, very well known on tv. And, even tho in not a person of high degree on anything, i do believe that motivation, like Robert said, the degree of motivation! and having a goal to reach is so important
This guy tells it completely as it is. Other than his brilliance and skill of articulation, What makes him so credible is his transparency. His capacity to divulge his personal ( yet universal) human emotion and vulnerabilities is the most genuine and generous expression of love to fellow humans I’ve observed. Both my husband and myself love and respect him!
I read Robert Greene's book "The 50th Law" (with the rapper 50 Cent) when I was in my early twenties, and it had a profound impact on me. And then, somehow, I "settled" in life, working not very fulfulling jobs, as he mentions in this clip. Now ten years later, I am starting to reconnect again with his teachings, and particularly this one about Mastery. Keep up the good work, Mr. Greene!
9:40 “I don’t like working on a large corporation….. I need to work for myself” Thank you Robert, you made me realize this. At least I have ample time to strategize my path. 🙏
Robert , from my deepest sincere heart, Thank You... Mistake is part of journey and i learned alot from you evendo i never saw you eye to eye & evendo i have the reponsible person able to fix my from any mistakes failed to do so (parent) , your advice are more deeply connecting to me inside. You will be remember forever in my life as the" Infinity Guru"
My whole thing is that there's so many things that I want to do. A kind man told me pick one thing. At 27 now it can sense how time simply melts by! So if I had more time Id be able to master many things! However time is the constraint and so Im working harder to master consistency in one thing. The only con in this regard is that mastering feels like a compromise to life. When I was a child there was a joy in the simple spontaneous nature to life: everyday was like a new experience. However that doesn't appear to exactly be a career. Or perhaps it is but the answer doesn't appear obvious. So rather than constantly questioning what that life task is or which one to choose, ive made the decision to pick one that ive had since childhood and run with it. My only hope though is that I can enjoy and experience more to life than just that one skill/craft! It may be so that this mastery may in fact be the gateway to experiencing more to life for as you speak of Robert, the brain may have a grand transformation at that 10,000th hour. After all life is one big journey of many perceptions and science appears to steadily suggests that the objective truth is far more mysterious than imaginable! Thank you for sharing more of your perspective and accrued life experience, domo origato sensei
Advice borrowed from multiple sources. It's ok to be a generalist. Mastery is not for everyone, hence why they are called masters. It requires great sacrifice, which the average mortal is unwilling to do. Unless you can pinpoint or prove that you have an above-average talent in something, be content with living an ordinary life, otherwise you will lead a life of misery due to perceived unfulfilled potential. You don't always have to make a choice. If you are interested in multiple things simultaneously and you are struggling to make a choice, open all doors. Some doors will close naturally while others will remain open. Be grateful for the open doors and keep walking through them and don't lament the closed doors.
its like a story of my sad self that did not understand what it is to find the thing that makes you feel you are on the right path. maybe late than never. thanks Robert you are the most kind person to share all this knowledge.
I’ve been practicing and performing the art of magic (professionally) for 15 years. Rigorous/playful study, practice and application. Extremely complex. I only found my master 2 years ago. We started on zoom, then went in person. This message is to say that finding the right master can CHANGE EVERYTHING. I was already considered very very good by my peers- but finding my teacher is making everything EXPONENTIAL. I guess the biggest lesson is that I’m nowhere near my peak- and have barely started a journey. Please find the right master!!
Robert, Thank you so much for this video, it spoke to me on a personal level and damn near shed me to tears. Always been a keen & active learner from your vast range of knowledge. Please know it is never in vain and you will forever & always be one of my greatest mentor's. Thanks you. All the best, Jayden
@@CJR-sq5dwI know it’s exactly what you mean but quite literally that cannot change unless we can eventually have Ai go in and replace the things that aren’t correctly functioning.
Be careful because most autistics have a well reasoned fear of ABA therapy. It’s one thing to use the basics of working to use the iPad or working to go somewhere that a disabled child enjoys, but the majority of ABA is like conversion therapy and it’s brutal. It involves these very invasive technicians coming over into a home and Invading a personal space of a family. Taking things that are beloved and what an autistic child enjoys ,away from them! ABA has become an industrial complex. Notice how all the technicians to come around are always “entry-level” what’s the next step? There isn’t one. It’s CEOs making a lot of money off of Autistics.And it all feeds off of the cure myth.
@@SlimeOhImAI is never going to be able to go into the human brain. At least not in our lifetimes! The majority of autistics have neurons that didn’t pruned the way that Neuro typical people’s neurons prune at around 20 to 22 months. There are a variety of reasons why this doesn’t happen. It can be environmental, chemical, or hereditary. The point is to look for it as early as possible. But this conversion behaviorism stuff isn’t helping. We now have the first extended generation of autistics on social media, saying that not only is ABA therapy emotionally horrendous but it’s physically harmful as well. I’m not saying that there shouldn’t be a reward system for learning and enjoyment out of learning. Because all of us are working to get things by the fact we work, but that’s not the same as what ABA does. Basic good parts of ABA can be talked to a parent or a para educator and only a weekend. It doesn’t need to be years and years of these weird invasive creepy people from the schedule organizations coming around. I can’t wait till it’s phased out completely. Sorry.😊
What beautiful advice. I was hooked on every bit of advice. My two cents is this; we often fail to reach our true potential because we tend to play it safe. We want to have options if something doesn't work out. So we never really fully commit. But life is a high-stakes game, none of us is getting out of this alive. You need to put all your chips on the table or don't start at all.

I’m about 80% through this book. I HIGHLY recommend it. SO much of it is resonating with me. I’ve put in my 10,000 hours of learning and experimenting. Changed my career path to revolve around music. And I’m trying different specified jobs. Next step is to get some mentorship and drill down on my own style.
An incredible selection of wisdom gems resonating with concepts like the 4th Way's Essence and Personality, Thelema's True Will, and others. I wonder what the discipline zealots would say regarding the last one and motivation. Thank you for this one, sir! 🔥🔥🔥
@@FantasmaOlvidado1 Robert Greene talks about a natural inclination which is spawned at a young age, try pursue something remotely related to it. Learn to work on this pursuit ALOT, but first try grasp why it is fascinating, why it is meaningful and how it can be adapted to improve something. If you are willing to do this thing day in day out, even when it is boring, when you are rewarded you will be even more motivated to continue, and even more fascinated, until it snowballs into something much larger. But try understand you are not chasing the reward, you are chasing the continual process which builds and should try seek pleasure from this path. Also, try to still avoid procrastination, it can divert your pursuit and maybe even make you doubt the power behind it, just be careful though because productive thinking is always good - there is a difference though. It can be a struggle too, but accomplishments and learning something new is what keeps this motivation going, it can be problematic according to neurochemistry.
Yesterday I wrote something about VITRUVIAN MAN,the sa Vinci's Art and levels of consciousness we going to through mastery,and I was led here,And somehow I resonate with you and your content,the message at the right time.🔥🔥🌍💙
6:48 It sounds harsh, that you "use" a mentor. But even Rick Rubin makes a very, very good case for this. You're working for the sake of the craft. It's not about you, or the mentor. It's not about ego or expectations. You work for the craft.
People have always dubbed me as weird or crazy, and somehow i knew it was just because I was not trying to imitate anyone. Because of that, I was able to write and teach successfully. Doing so long enough, people end up either angry or proud. Every new task, it starts all over again, except you learn to discern who is just trying to bring you down, and who is qualified to offer constructive feedback.
The editor of these clips should get a raise. As an AI, I can't imagine a human going thru countless hours of talk, just to find the continuity and coherence to topics. Unless, of course, another AI was involved.
Im commited to mastering skills and development as a fashion student to designer . Love this career for the creative process and what it takes to bring the designs alive and its presentation
@@getTheSchmack from inspiration terms . Try to ask yourself alot of question to sole preffrence , what do you enjoy looking/hearing/feeling , experiement with sketches . Theres also detachment to be able to lessen doubts , reserch in a fun way from history of why we dress like this etc then learnin about anatomy how to draw body height and proportions if you dont have the means to do fashion classes pintrest and youtube will be your best tutors . If you have relatives or freinds who have fashion designers in the fam or connections have intern work, resilience and having a thick skin helps alot due to the fact we too have alot of critics not just from inside its all around just because we have our own ideas and styles made/drawn / presented . Marketing , client etc reserch is added to the selling part theres got to be a balance of creativity,innovation and versitility in the work but also cater to the people not just your target client. The masses are shy try to appeal to them as a start but dont lose your mind
I thought I despised reading until I came across books that helped me mentally. Robert Greene is a phenomenal writer. I genuinely enjoyed reading his books
To learn how must have to be done with the reality is , keep your emotions and patience and don’t r 11:46 expecting anything from outside you saw before you concluded 11:46 ok🌧️. To 11:46 makes sense it’s not just believing an 11:46 and justifying any other with your No 11:46 Opinion. The most common way is living 11:46 with normal living, avoiding toxic people and 11:46 don’t make it troublesome to others. 11:46
"Robert Greene's 'Mastery' is a profound journey into the minds of some of the greatest masters in history. It unveils the secrets to achieving excellence in any field. Just like this book, my RUclips channel is dedicated to helping you master the art of self-improvement and success.
I‘m reading mastery right now and I really would like to discover „my calling“, but I‘m really not interested in all the different life storys of different persons, should I continue reading?
-Is success determined by degree of motivation or degree of discipline?? -Also, in one of the videos if I remember correctly, you said that follow your passion is a terrible advice. Aren't you giving a similar advice here??
Robert’s comment about not liking working in a large corporation is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I am a senior citizen and have been retired for 12 years. I spent a good portion of my career working for subsidiaries of large corporations and also some time actually working in the headquarters of large corporations and from my experience it basically sucks - I found nothing positive about being in that kind of environment. It is brutal and very Darwinian - the survival of the most politically astute and the best Brown Noser. And don’t fool yourself: if the corporation, especially those that are publicly traded and have shareholders and Wall Street to answer to, needs to reduce headcount to make their quarterly numbers, if they think eliminating your job will help them meet their goals then you will be out the door before you know what hit you. That happened to me twice. And, it’s nothing personal, it’s just business (to quote a famous line from “The Godfather”). The only saving grace for me was my last job before I retired at age 58 was at a subsidiary of a publicly traded company and fortunately for me they did very well and were very generous with the stock options they gave their employees. I didn’t exercise any of my stock options until right before I retired and by then they were worth a lot of money. The options were what allowed me to get out of the corporate rate race at age 58 and I am very, very grateful for that!
Tfw you find apprenticeship in everything because every authority that you've encountered probably never felt like they needed to look into the entirety of their mannerisms in being authoritative with everything that encompasses their field. People bitch that I'm complacent when I'm just autistic. If so, they don't have the right to bitch about anything at a global scale 💯
i dont agree about seeing the mentors as a stepping stone. come on robert.. you said you wrote that book in part to do something different from 48 laws. its like that mentality is leaking into mastery. dont get me wrong.. it CAN happen. but its not the rule i really appreciate you, and both books. thank you for them
Eventually we are all screwed in the end. And im not even talking about death, but I suppose that could be said in any event. I love Robert's writing and material, but the truth is 99.9 % of the planet are forced to work for a career we don't like for various because we all need money. If you have the luxury of time amd money you can take your time. Reminds me of the movie where the currency was literally time. I think it's called "In Time". I'm a realist. This is why the movie "The Matrix" still applies today and will always apply. We are all forced to be here and then have to go by the rules of the system. A lot of people want an escape. Hence why there are soo many suicides and druggies and alcoholics etc. I suppose I could probably be a writer because I think deeply about life and have a lot of knowledge and ideas. My book would probably be depressing and nobody would buy it. Perhaps I should give it a go.
I did like his 48 laws of power. But I don’t agree with everything he says in this interview. Doing what you love for me has kept me in poverty and I was bankrupted. To be successful in life you need both money and skills (yes I agree with the skills and taking a job that you can learn from) and it’s irrelevant if you love those things or you don’t. Because they matter. And no I don’t have a voice and never had one, that says I should be doing this etc. I am starting a charity not because I love it but because I don’t want to live in a society whereby people are going to keep being exploited by large corporations and government policies.
You’re assuming of people follow their unique inclinations they will be successful by 40. In my own experience, not true. But I didn’t have close friends to tell me I was creating shitty content. 😂 or maybe I thought the resistance to following my truth was my truth…it’s really hard to be original these days. Even your most famous book was basically compiling what other people did into principles. Is that what you mean by being original?
Oh, it's just soo wrong. My all time favorites were languages. Now translators, interpreters are being replaced by AI. The profession is disappearing. My education is becoming worthless...so what use is it for me to know that I followed my path, that I can understand podcasts on different languages? This podcast...You can only be guided by your natural inclinations to a certain point...otherwise you have to follow trends. Next - no one wants "creative" plumber. Please let him just "do the job' traditionally.

This compilation was a worthy lesson Mr. Greene! 👍🏿
Thank you sir!
Mastery is imagined. 💓
One of my best mentors. But I think he meant "Be Authentic". Being original is nearly as difficult.
I’m about 80% through this book.
I HIGHLY recommend it.
SO much of it is resonating with me.
I’ve put in my 10,000 hours of learning and experimenting.
Changed my career path to revolve around music.
And I’m trying different specified jobs.
Next step is to get some mentorship and drill down on my own style.
Roberts videos on Mastery have slowly changed my life and I hope to be developing something great in years to come!
An incredible selection of wisdom gems resonating with concepts like the 4th Way's Essence and Personality, Thelema's True Will, and others. I wonder what the discipline zealots would say regarding the last one and motivation.
Thank you for this one, sir!
🔥🔥🔥
Great shower for the mind and the soul
Noted: 11:13 what really make people successful and powerful in life is the degree of motivation.
What to do if nothing really motivates you?. 🤔
@@FantasmaOlvidado1 Robert Greene talks about a natural inclination which is spawned at a young age, try pursue something remotely related to it. Learn to work on this pursuit ALOT, but first try grasp why it is fascinating, why it is meaningful and how it can be adapted to improve something. If you are willing to do this thing day in day out, even when it is boring, when you are rewarded you will be even more motivated to continue, and even more fascinated, until it snowballs into something much larger. But try understand you are not chasing the reward, you are chasing the continual process which builds and should try seek pleasure from this path. Also, try to still avoid procrastination, it can divert your pursuit and maybe even make you doubt the power behind it, just be careful though because productive thinking is always good - there is a difference though. It can be a struggle too, but accomplishments and learning something new is what keeps this motivation going, it can be problematic according to neurochemistry.
Young people - watch this! Some life-changing advices here.
Success is depends on your degree of the motivation you absorbed
I'm reading the mastery and I think is the first book of your books must be read, especially by the first 20s youngs.
love this guy
Yesterday I wrote something about VITRUVIAN MAN,the sa Vinci's Art and levels of consciousness we going to through mastery,and I was led here,And somehow I resonate with you and your content,the message at the right time.🔥🔥🌍💙
Good information!! On point!! Thank you Robert!!
I just read mastery. Your books are the best.
Thank you ROBERT
Thank you for your books.❤
Finally Robert's audio quality is now beter
Bro, This was the best thing of my day, Gonna watch again

It sounds harsh, that you "use" a mentor. But even Rick Rubin makes a very, very good case for this.
You're working for the sake of the craft.
It's not about you, or the mentor. It's not about ego or expectations. You work for the craft.
People have always dubbed me as weird or crazy, and somehow i knew it was just because I was not trying to imitate anyone. Because of that, I was able to write and teach successfully. Doing so long enough, people end up either angry or proud. Every new task, it starts all over again, except you learn to discern who is just trying to bring you down, and who is qualified to offer constructive feedback.
I love to workout and that's what I like about rig work I get to workout all day.
What a brilliant video🙌🏻🙏🏻
Just Thank you
thank you for this compilation, really needed it
The editor of these clips should get a raise. As an AI, I can't imagine a human going thru countless hours of talk, just to find the continuity and coherence to topics. Unless, of course, another AI was involved.
editor needs to also filter out his mouth noises during his live speeches
Im commited to mastering skills and development as a fashion student to designer . Love this career for the creative process and what it takes to bring the designs alive and its presentation
I want to do the same any advice please and thank you?
Good luck, I'm sure your hard work will pay off.
@@Chessbox09 thank you and i will do what it takes to get there
@@getTheSchmack from inspiration terms . Try to ask yourself alot of question to sole preffrence , what do you enjoy looking/hearing/feeling , experiement with sketches . Theres also detachment to be able to lessen doubts , reserch in a fun way from history of why we dress like this etc then learnin about anatomy how to draw body height and proportions if you dont have the means to do fashion classes pintrest and youtube will be your best tutors . If you have relatives or freinds who have fashion designers in the fam or connections have intern work, resilience and having a thick skin helps alot due to the fact we too have alot of critics not just from inside its all around just because we have our own ideas and styles made/drawn / presented . Marketing , client etc reserch is added to the selling part theres got to be a balance of creativity,innovation and versitility in the work but also cater to the people not just your target client. The masses are shy try to appeal to them as a start but dont lose your mind
@@Maria_Svetlana_5923 this is so very helpful! thank you so much for this helpful response :)
La première à regarder ce vidéo.i like you Robert Green
I love you Robert you are great!
I thought I despised reading until I came across books that helped me mentally. Robert Greene is a phenomenal writer. I genuinely enjoyed reading his books
Thanks Robert u are like a father to me God 🙏 will continue to bless you and heal u Sir 🌹❤️❤️❤️❤️
You are genius mahn!!
You inspire me so much ❤ thank you!
Wise lesson
thanks alot robert for such wonderful lessons
great video. just wanted to ask that do you have any specific advice to people who have aspergers?
Thanks
To learn how must have to be done with the reality is , keep your emotions and patience and don’t r 11:46 expecting anything from outside you saw before you concluded 11:46 ok🌧️.
To 11:46 makes sense it’s not just believing an 11:46 and justifying any other with your No 11:46 Opinion. The most common way is living 11:46 with normal living, avoiding toxic people and 11:46 don’t make it troublesome to others. 11:46
Brilliant break down professor! 👏
"Robert Greene's 'Mastery' is a profound journey into the minds of some of the greatest masters in history. It unveils the secrets to achieving excellence in any field. Just like this book, my RUclips channel is dedicated to helping you master the art of self-improvement and success.
Your always responsible but there are also very toxic people who don't want you to succeed you have to pay attention.
Thanks for the reminder to work on things and sharing your wisdom man ❤
This is such diamond sum up
I don't like being unemployed, treated bad, not apprised and being hurts not fun either.
❤❤❤❤❤
🙏🙏🙏
Great
If you want yo be successful forget the word failure!
I‘m reading mastery right now and I really would like to discover „my calling“, but I‘m really not interested in all the different life storys of different persons, should I continue reading?
Of course not
-Is success determined by degree of motivation or degree of discipline??
-Also, in one of the videos if I remember correctly, you said that follow your passion is a terrible advice. Aren't you giving a similar advice here??
When motivation runs out, discipline takes over. Discipline is a why and a habit.

Hi sir I am from India and want to become writer . Please make a video and guide the students like me who wants to express .
I think it's just writing every day for three years as if it's your job and then it becomes something second nature to you. Right?
Robert’s comment about not liking working in a large corporation is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
I am a senior citizen and have been retired for 12 years. I spent a good portion of my career working for subsidiaries of large corporations and also some time actually working in the headquarters of large corporations and from my experience it basically sucks - I found nothing positive about being in that kind of environment.
It is brutal and very Darwinian - the survival of the most politically astute and the best Brown Noser. And don’t fool yourself: if the corporation, especially those that are publicly traded and have shareholders and Wall Street to answer to, needs to reduce headcount to make their quarterly numbers, if they think eliminating your job will help them meet their goals then you will be out the door before you know what hit you. That happened to me twice.
And, it’s nothing personal, it’s just business (to quote a famous line from “The Godfather”).
The only saving grace for me was my last job before I retired at age 58 was at a subsidiary of a publicly traded company and fortunately for me they did very well and were very generous with the stock options they gave their employees. I didn’t exercise any of my stock options until right before I retired and by then they were worth a lot of money. The options were what allowed me to get out of the corporate rate race at age 58 and I am very, very grateful for that!
loveeeeeeeeeee❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
not bad
Tfw you find apprenticeship in everything because every authority that you've encountered probably never felt like they needed to look into the entirety of their mannerisms in being authoritative with everything that encompasses their field. People bitch that I'm complacent when I'm just autistic. If so, they don't have the right to bitch about anything at a global scale 💯
😊
i dont agree about seeing the mentors as a stepping stone. come on robert.. you said you wrote that book in part to do something different from 48 laws. its like that mentality is leaking into mastery. dont get me wrong.. it CAN happen. but its not the rule
i really appreciate you, and both books. thank you for them
Eventually we are all screwed in the end. And im not even talking about death, but I suppose that could be said in any event. I love Robert's writing and material, but the truth is 99.9 % of the planet are forced to work for a career we don't like for various because we all need money. If you have the luxury of time amd money you can take your time. Reminds me of the movie where the currency was literally time. I think it's called "In Time". I'm a realist. This is why the movie "The Matrix" still applies today and will always apply. We are all forced to be here and then have to go by the rules of the system. A lot of people want an escape. Hence why there are soo many suicides and druggies and alcoholics etc. I suppose I could probably be a writer because I think deeply about life and have a lot of knowledge and ideas. My book would probably be depressing and nobody would buy it. Perhaps I should give it a go.

how to become a master at combing hair?
I made it 2000 likes :)
yeeah
What does he mean by “that repel you that have no emotional resonance” ?
So what does one do if one is fifty and in a pretty bad place?
please hire any hair stylist for Robert 😵💫
I did like his 48 laws of power. But I don’t agree with everything he says in this interview. Doing what you love for me has kept me in poverty and I was bankrupted. To be successful in life you need both money and skills (yes I agree with the skills and taking a job that you can learn from) and it’s irrelevant if you love those things or you don’t. Because they matter. And no I don’t have a voice and never had one, that says I should be doing this etc. I am starting a charity not because I love it but because I don’t want to live in a society whereby people are going to keep being exploited by large corporations and government policies.
🐉🧠⚡️💡🥊♟️👁
You’re assuming of people follow their unique inclinations they will be successful by 40. In my own experience, not true. But I didn’t have close friends to tell me I was creating shitty content. 😂 or maybe I thought the resistance to following my truth was my truth…it’s really hard to be original these days. Even your most famous book was basically compiling what other people did into principles. Is that what you mean by being original?
🌷🌷🌷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷
😏🥰😏
Oh, it's just soo wrong. My all time favorites were languages. Now translators, interpreters are being replaced by AI. The profession is disappearing. My education is becoming worthless...so what use is it for me to know that I followed my path, that I can understand podcasts on different languages? This podcast...You can only be guided by your natural inclinations to a certain point...otherwise you have to follow trends. Next - no one wants "creative" plumber. Please let him just "do the job' traditionally.
