Robert Greene: How to Achieve Total Mastery
“The value that you get is much greater than the pain.” Greene
That's a quote derived from the Bible
Exactly! 👍
“If you don’t have the frustration you’re not on the right path.” WOW!
"Frustration is a Signal of your body that you are in the process to break through." Great quote motivating
I am back after 1 year to say that i am feeling exactly like that. Frustation in my process to Learn Sales. I almost quit but i remember how hard was the beginning of the my Life in USA. My English was terrible and day by day looks that i was learning nothing. My frustration was so High that i almost return to my country, but i persisted. I persisted and now is my moment to learn this new Skill to go to another Step in my life. Thank you again!!!
When I was in art school doing life-drawing 6 hours a day I remember one day where I felt awful and I thought my drawing was the worst I’d ever done and threw it in a pile of drawings. A month later when I was making huge progress I was looking back through the pile of drawings and I realized that “bad drawing” on that bad day was the breakthrough drawing but I didn’t understand that when I was doing it. I’ll never forget that.
Incredible interview and insight. I watched the opening question and answer multiple times and I love Robert's response, that "if you want a shortcut you are not very well suited to becoming a master" to "master anything you need patience" "embrace the pain" . However, reading, studying, watching RUclips Informational/Mentor Videos, and other available ways to learn should speed up or slow down the process of becoming a master depending on the value of the information. Of course the awareness of the individual learning is paramount.
He shares imperative, diversified content that he brings into oneness breaks it into a whole
Hearing that robert greene himself sometimes get moments where he thinks stuff like "im the words writer etc" gives me so much more compassion to myself !
Sometimes I am reading a book and the book starts talking to me in present time. Things that I may have had on my mind or suddenly appear on my mind, I see words magically appearing telling me exactly what to do or what I am experiencing. I love when that happens
Patience ,focus ,the message
I like the phrase, Embrace the Pain, it's great, good for us.
So damn grateful for this man
Wow, hope this interview is recent, Roberts looking great! Wish you good health Sir.
To achieve mastery, Roberts' insight is a good bet. It's always refreshing to listen to this genius
😂he isn’t a genius according to him , he has mastered what he does
One of the best books I’ve ever read
agreed!
Mr. Greene spitting out epic wisdom as usual 🔥👍
If you want to pursue mastery and masculinity, I invite you to explore the videos on the Mastery Order Channel.
Challenge yourself with some ideas about manhood, explore your masculine potential to the maximum and become the kind of man you would admire.
We can only chase excellence together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and share your own opinions and criticism so that we can all grow stronger and wiser.
All the best to you!
Ahh...great interview! Very helpful & useful.
Thanks for sharing,
James
Glad it was helpful!
As naval would say; It isn’t 10,000 hours that creates outliers, it’s 10,000 iterations. Reflection vs experience….
I agree. 10.000 hours can look immensely different
What a gift of wisdom given by a genius …
OMG even more epic reminders of why I love this man.
Perfect video. I am gonna save in my favorites
Glad you liked it!
I've been frustrated all my life!
Never give up.
Thank you man!
great video I loved every thing :)
Hello, thanks for this great video. In the conversation, Robert mentioned there is a great study investigating the 10000 hour rules for being a master. Do you know the name of the research study or book? Thanks!
I believe the author is Malcolm Gladwell
article: The Role of Deliberate Practice in the Acquisition of Expert Performance
@@BradCarr_ Thank you so much!
@@richardschell6179 Thanks Richard!
Another more modern book on this topic is "Talent is Overrated" What Really Separates World Class Performers from Everybody Else" by Geoffrey Colvin.
Usted maestro, pues para que escribiera las leyes de la naturaleza humana leyó cerca de 300 libros y tardo cerca de cinco años y todavía tuvo un problema de salud. Lo admiro profundamente Maestro ROBERT GREENE.
Thank you sir
Thank you !
You're welcome!
You are an incredible teacha. I just love your teaching methods
Very good
This must have been done before his stroke. "Embrace pain." I have many mentors. Napoleon the Mozart of warfare. Master organizer. Frustration is good for you. Nobody learns from winning. 😎🦉
yes, it was just a few day before Robert's stroke
That’s irrelevant, he would still say the same.
Is he good now tho
@@shalvishrivastava5301 Thank Good? ♥
Vaxxed?
I'm like, gonna read all his books, I gues???
Knowledge is power, reading is the execise of brain
AMEN AND AMEN
You basically need at least 5 years to 10 years to blossom. But it takes up to 30 years to bring the sweetest fruits.
An other measure is in terms of age, while practicing wholeheartedly of course. Reaching 50 is major milestone for mastery. Sorry you young, gorgeous people. You can't have everything. Enjoy the ride!
Total BS
@@C4rnee sure you are.
Probably a lazy ass boomer that id crush in the workforce.
@@C4rneeI agree with you. Most of the crucial discoveries for science, mathematics technologies were done by people under 40, at most 45. Like 90% of the biggest breakthroughs. even maybe 95% or more.
Mastery, the time taken to internalize the outside world functions into your subconscious through repetition
Having a mentor is not a shortcut, it's not a crutch either, it's just working smart imo.
Working smart which creates a shortcut
How to shortcut ?
Have a mentor
Not always the case. Depends what you study. Learning something technical and scientific doesn't require a mentor. Better even not have one. Books and resources are sufficient, and painfully making your way into a good understanding of the topic will be more efficient than asking questions to expert. However, learning something artistic such as music or theatre most often requires a mentor.
I did not like Robert Greene. This video played while I was driving and I couldn’t change it, but I have changed my mind about Robert Greene.
Why
Interested? Here's the full episode: ruclips.net/video/64MsV-FECsY/видео.html
The 10,000hour rule is not really a rule, just an estimate. 2 people who put the same amount of time into something aren't gonna get the same results.
Talent is a shortcut, passion is a shortcut, focus is a shortcut....if you're just going through the motions your hours are not the same as someone doing it with intense focus. Also practicing with the right technique and the right strategy is a shortcut instead of randomly messing around with poor technique and poor planning of your practice time. You're learning also depends on other factors like sleep and nutrition
I can easily spend 10,000 hours playing basketball and never achieve the mastery of Hakeem Olajuwan even though I started playing obsessively in elementary school and he didn't start playing until his late teens.
greene is a hack
No I think you would. At least mentally. Robert isn't talking about the physical aspect.
Also remember it's 10000 hours of challenging and mind breaking work. Not I play around with my friends for fun kinda work. Otherwise we would all be experts at speaking english because we do it effortlessly all the time.
I am glad to see his hands moving.
I want to write in books but I can’t write in them because I want to go back and read them.
Don't follow the path of least resistance. Get out of your comfort zone. ENGAGE IN BEHAVIOR THAT GETS YOU TO YOUR MOST IMPORTANT GOAL. WHAT IS YOUR MOST IMPORTANT GOAL? YOUR NEXT ONE. KEEP CHIPPING AWAY WITH PERSEVERENCE. YOU DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO MAKE HUGE STRIDES. JUST KEEP GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. SOMETIMES QUICKLY. SOMETIMES SLOWLY. ON COURSE!!!!!!!

Greene’s analysis of Napoleon is peculiar I think. While some of his campaigns were very well executed, some such as Egypt and his fiasco in Russia were disastrous. Lots of Napoleon’s success can really be attributed to his second in command and to his cavalry commander. Neither one were at his last campaign against Blucher, causing serious blunders to be made that resulted in Napoleon’s defeat 4 days later at Waterloo, with the arrival of the Austrians that bled Napoleon’s resources too much.
Napoleon failed due mainly to three factors. First, this venal thug’s ego got the best of him. Second, his physical health deteriorated as he got older so that he could not stay up for days, covering every critical detail as he had done when younger, so he relied more on others and finally his opponents adopted many of his tactics and began to do a better job.
A much better general (and much better moral character) was Robert E. Lee who was called in to take over after the wounding of Johnson when it appeared that the south was on the verge of defeat by the much bigger and better equipped northern forces. Most military analysts expected the agrarian south with very limited resources and manpower, to last only three months. More than anything else, because of Robert E.Lee’s brilliant tactics, the south lasted over four years and would have won the pivotal battle of Gettysburg (rolling the north back to Washington) if not for failure of Lee’s subordinate officers.
No. That is not (10,000 hours) what the research showed. It was a very specific style of practice - not just total hours. Please stop watering down what the research on deliberate practice showed.
Mr Greene is such a clever guy because he understands that human nature is unchanging. And that simple fact is the antidote to liberalism and the Revolution. He also explains how to do well in life, through the application of some simple rules.

Almost never in my life I have put that in a lot of work and then felt that the inherent reward was worth it. The two exceptions are avoiding negative consequence and inflicting violence onto someone annoying. This gets you punished and then it's not worth it anymore.
So fuck me but I won't master shit.
What about accelerated learning?
Lozanov taught a fluent language in 2 days.
Does that make his students fools?
Serious question.
Would love to have Robert's date, time, and place of birth to see his natal chart. Quite sure he has Saturn/Mars conjuction or haevy aspect. Would be interesting to know where (I can relate a lot to his life and I have the same combo).
Saw that he born in L.A. on May 14th 1959, time is unknown. If anybody can ask him would be awesome. 🤐😉
Me too! I study astrology as well 😊
I looked up JP’s chart after thinking to myself he has a Mercury Pluto aspect and I was right. I also thought Anthony Hopkins was a Capricorn and I was right about that too. 😊
Haha, I love how he annihilated him and his mindset and approach straight away
Well, not to be too critical, but "Mastery" is a book I am regretting buying.
It simply did not deliver, in my opinion.
It basically is a thick book with tons of stories of the lives of successful and famous people.
Sure, it can surely be interesting as a collection of stories, but it does not do any real attempt of explaining or giving advice on how achive "mastery".
I guess the idea is if enough stories are spammed, the reader will learn from the examples somehow. Maybe some people can do that, but I constantly read one chapter, then the next and so on and after each chapter my only though was "Yes, ok, so what? Will there not be any attempt by the author to make some analysis and reflections?"
Thank you for the review ❤
In last minutes it’s getting hot
I am the GrandMaster now
Start in the childhood
So basically you need at least 2 years of experience
2 years if you're practicing 12+ hours a day sure, but most people can't do that. It takes a lot longer than that for most people. It often takes more than double that.
(52) 40-hour work weeks is 2080 hours per year. 10,000 hours is approx 5 years at 40 hours a week
Intense focus, you can only do that for 3-5 hours a day.
@@fyrusgrey5153 And after ten years, most people will still suck.
5 years
Some good points, but he's totally wrong in the ten thousand hours. Even malcolm gladwell admits this myth that people misunderstood from his book.
What does Malcom say?
No such thing...
Remain a student Gentleman

💘🥂🧸
Some interviewers comes across as unstable. Insecure and big ego people look so weak they can't even let somebody talk about a negative subject otherwise theyll start twitching like theyre talking about them wtf...
I have no money I am poor batter I trust my Allah God
I can't entirely agree with the ten thousand hours. If you practice something for ten thousand hours with feedback loops and expert help, surely it must be a HUGE difference than to practice 10.000 hours alone.
Robert says that the difference is slightly better, but indeed 2000 super effective hours where you learned from the best and been at your best beats 10.000 lazy hours alone where you're not really learning.
But overall, a great video with a lot of good points.
