Күн бұрын

Robert Greene is an author and historian.
Many people want and need power in life, but almost none of us admit it. Robert's new book compiles 366 of his best lessons on power, seduction, human nature and mastery, and today we get to go through my favourites.
Expect to learn how remaining absent can increase respect, how to speak with your actions not your words, why focussing on actions not words is the best way to judge someone's character, how to avoid losing your sanity in a group and much more...

Robert Greene?!? Your podcast is on fire!!! Love this guy's books! They are a perfect mix of education about human nature illustrated with entertaining examples from historical figures and events. They're also completely amoral, Greene's books do not read like lectures about how people ought to behave, just a description of how people actually do behave.

If I broke a glass as a child...I would tell My parents/parent because I always felt it's my responsibility to take actions for My own act...People are AFRAID to feel judged and It's not far fetched.. that it is innately inbedded. My son made me listen the 48 LAWS OF POWER audio over 9 yrs ago...amd I was GIFTED the Book over 3yrs ago. POWER IS HIGHLY IMPORTANT to Me...I haven't MASTERED the ART as yet...because I still falter...however I catch Mself quicker NOW.. had I not known the root cause.

Interested in you reasoning to conduct the podcast in this 'next one, next one' format, rather than a fully conversational way. Not a criticism, just curious. It is definitely more clipable, as there are boundaries on each topic. Could it be that Rob set a predefined time constraint, so to make the most out of the opportunity, this format is a necessity to hit all things your interested in. Either way great job.
