Thank you very much for having me on the podcast Steven.

My husband and i met when i just turned 16 he 17. He was very poor. He took me for steak, gave me a rose and kissed my hand. First date. Hes the love of my life. He died of a heart attack at 43 almost 11 years ago. We were poor but we had love and roses.

“Learn by doing, not by thinking” - Robert Greene

The art of seduction helped me identify I was the ‘victim’ and the tactics the person was using to manipulate me, helped me see the truth and get out. Thank you Robert.

The fact that Robert Greene was still trying to figure it out at 38 gives me so much relief lol

His book is incredible - the wrong people view it as a weapon, the right people view it as a shield. Protects me from the evil in this world, thank you Mr. Greene!

You said something really important : Children see through people easily. Its natural to see if a person is good or not

I first read Art of Seduction and then got introduced to 48 Laws of Power. This man changed my life and this was one of the best interviews with him yet. I love this podcast and how the interview is conducted.

The one thing that I love about this podcast over some other is that you actually allow your guest to talk and express their points without interruption. That is so amazing.

Love this quote, "If you can't control yourself, how can you be a leader?"!

Stephen has the interviewing skills of an iconic investigative reporter. The curiously, reasonable empathy, polite sense of timing combined with an authentic interest in the individual being interview is a dynamic combination. Investigative reporting at its best.

A Diary of a CEO is my favorite podcast because Steven's genuine curiosity and willingness to be an attentive listener naturally make him an amazing interviewer. This was the absolute best interview I have ever heard with Robert Green.

This man embodies all that he has spent his life writing about. Such a mesmerizing mind. Thank you Robert Greene for your works.

The three books that have changed my life: the Bible, ‘48 Laws,’ and ‘The Greatest Salesman in the World.’ Won’t do without them. 💯

Confidence is believing in yourself and being fully accepting of who you are

Robert Greene is the epitome of the wounded healer. So humble in the way he comes across. He is becoming one of my top favorite speakers. This is one of his best interviews as well.

I truly appreciate this interview because the interviewer not only asked questions that allowed the author to go deeper into his own philosophy, he also questioned or “challenged” his ideas in such a polite way. As an interviewer, you’re not supposed to be so starstruck that you take everything the interviewee says at face value. GET DEEPER into their perspectives!! Great job. AND he let him finish his thoughts/sentences! Super rare in interviews.

If it’s ok to say.. this man’s voice is really soothing, has some kind of peace to it.

One of the most beautiful things is when someone is vulnerable and open about life What a strength most people lack !

This guy is like the Voyager that went into the unknown, explored, survived and came back to record his findings for the good of all. Bravo!

You can't get enough of Robert Greene excellent interview

Honestly , he is amazing. Great speaker and he makes 100% sense. When I first read laws and seduction, I thought it's dirty and manipulative but when I think from perspective how others do it to you- it's a treasure.

I was almost kinda feeling a little.....fatigued toward the end. Until he admitted that "i don't want to give the impression that I've mastered it. It has mastered me but I'm getting better" ....that filled me with so much gratitude and respect for his honesty and authenticity that i became eager to hear the rest.

Wow this interviewer is amazing, he’s asking good questions and then *actively listening* , in a relaxed way, giving space for Robert Green to really delve into his explanations. So many interviewers have this frantic, frenetic energy and always interrupt, or try to pace too fast etc.

This interview was phenomenal. I purchased , “48 Laws of Power” in 2016 and after reading the titles put it on the shelf because I saw it as a ‘sword’ instead of seeing it as a ‘shield’. I appreciate what he shared about narcissism and how to shift that energy outward. By the end of the interview, I felt an overwhelming feeling of gratitude and am so thankful YT recommended this video. I immediately subscribed.

He mentioned "Wheel of Dharma". Finally I feel someone outside of south asia is able to grasp it as there is no equivalent word in english. Most people just understand what the word encompasses but cannot grasp it. I admire you Sir for mentioning it.

Robert Greene is a gem, his authenticity and intellect are his natural seduction. I just started reading the "48 Laws of Power" and then I saw this video and I was like "Oh that's him!". Now I have the face of the author. I really enjoyed every minute of this podcast. I did not finish it in one sit, but I kept coming back for more until the conversation is over. Learned so much. love the wisdom and honesty. Great conversation of two intellectual persons. Thanks for sharing it to the world.

This CD is very calming kzfaq.infoUgkxzpa8CIfZcihW4Z0F_ja0QF3W9KIatrsq the first meditation focuses on breathing, the second guides you through the Buddhist metta bhavana--loving kindness to all, and the third is a meditation to be used when walking. him is originally from Scotland, so there is a little accent to his voice, but it is very soothing and not at all distracting. If you are a beginner to meditation, this CD will walk you through all the steps of relaxing and breathing as well as sending out the positive thoughts of love and kindness that will be returned to you. We have several CD's, but this one is a favorite that we choose most often.

I've been watching for 4 consecutive days now on your channel. I've learned a lot. Write it down, process the thoughts, questions myself about my own opinion about the topics. I'm so glad this platform exist. I've been on the process of knowing myself clearly and being straightforward with my negative traits because I really wanted to change and grow for more better version of myself. I'm 35. And sometimes, I had this regret, because I feel like I've wasted so many years. I wish I had been wise at 17, or 20. I had a lot of trauma growing up. From my parents seperation to failed marriage, to single parenting. Fighting my own darkside while I didn't have any idea how to raise my kids while I had them early at a young age. Looking back, I can say, I'm now in the stage of my life to be really brutally honest so that I can heal. Thank you for this! I really appreciate all the member of the team, even I didn't know them, you and all the guests! Salamat! From The Philippines. ❤❤❤

I just purchased the entire set of this man's books, he has intrigued me to no end!

When I was young someone introduced me to pick-up during a massive depression. at that time i was soldier and thaught daily about suicide. during my pick-up period i read the books neil straus recommended. and one of the books was 24 laws of seduction and 48 laws of power. honestly i was to young to understand the books. but they opend up my imagination and i had a crazy youth afterwards. im glad now to see the face behind the books and hear the gentle and honest sharing of deep ideas.

“You don’t have to abuse the laws of power. I don’t advocate crushing your enemy totally. I hope I don’t have enemies ever that I need to crush, EVER.” ❤❤ Love that!!

I bought the ‘48 laws of power’ back when it was released. It blew my mind… and still does. Robert Greene has an uncanny sense for being able to dissect human behaviour and the psychology that underlies it.

Ended up watching the full video in 3 sittings. Just when I was thinking how brilliant this interview had been, Robert himself mentioned it. Congratulations to both of you for such great conversation and thank you for making such unrepeatable moment available to all of us.

So many emotions and knowledge through one single interview! I've been watching one of your podcasts per day. And it has been so useful. There is so much food for thought and further research on different subjects! Thank you so much you are partially making my knee surgery feel like a great chance to enhance my brain ❤

After reading all of Robert Greene book’s, people noticed my self-esteem and confidence improved and asked me what I was doing ❤

Absolutely inspirational. The way Robert sums up and states remembering how lucky each moment is, is humbling. What a guy!

This is the best interview I have ever watched. The interviewer is so great. He asked tough questions without any hesitation. It's not that usual interview where there are just normal and boring questions. Robert is my favourite author and you asked him some great questions especially about his personal life. I can sense it was hard for Robert to answer 'em.

Steve is the right person to be interviewing people like Robert Greene. His style is perfect to extract the most value out of his interviewees. Great job as always, from what I have listened to so far this is going to be a very good one.

00:00 📚 Robert Greene discusses the qualities of a great seducer, emphasizing the power of understanding the language of seduction. 01:09 🧠 Confidence comes from understanding power dynamics and the realization that your abilities can be taken away, so don't take them for granted. 02:32 🏢 Robert Greene shares his upbringing and how he pursued various jobs to gain life experiences. 06:24 📖 Robert Greene talks about how he stumbled upon the idea for "The 48 Laws of Power" through a chance meeting in Italy and his desperate circumstances. 08:01 📚 "The 48 Laws of Power" gained global success, selling over 2 million copies, and continues to sell well, partly thanks to word-of-mouth and endorsements from figures like Jay-Z and 50 Cent. 10:04 📖 Robert Greene discusses his evolving feelings towards "The 48 Laws of Power" and its impact, acknowledging its dark side but still standing by its content. 11:54 🤔 Robert Greene defines power as an emotional need and the ability to understand and control oneself, emphasizing that power is a feeling more than external control. 15:29 🎭 Robert Greene discusses the importance of keeping up appearances and controlling one's behavior to navigate social dynamics effectively. 21:35 🎭 Robert Greene advises that while we all play roles in life, we should not confuse those roles with our true essence, striking a balance between authenticity and social adaptation. 22:28 🤝 When hiring or forming work relationships, avoid gravitating towards friends solely due to trust. Emotions in friendships can complicate work dynamics. Consider practicality over friendship in the professional realm. 25:16 🤐 Concealing intentions isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. It depends on circumstances. Share your vision with your team to inspire them. In a competitive business world, revealing everything can be counterproductive. Sometimes, creating mystery or deception strategically can be powerful. 30:23 🌗 Confronting your dark side and shadow traits is essential for personal growth. Acknowledge and use your dark side for positive purposes, such as channeling anger into productive causes. 34:27 🤝 Early childhood experiences can influence one's relationship with power. Secure and loving early experiences can lead to healthier power dynamics, but resilience can also emerge from challenging backgrounds. 43:58 💑 A great seducer is outwardly focused, attentive, and listens actively, entering the spirit of the other person. Seduction is not about domination but a mutual courtship ritual, a game where both parties seduce each other. 44:52 💑 The power of seduction lies in making others feel genuinely interested and validated; it involves being absorbed in the other person's world. 46:02 🚫 Anti-seductive qualities include preaching, moralizing, and failing to be generous with your spirit, time, or energy. 47:34 💔 Insecurity is anti-seductive, but vulnerability can be seductive because it signifies openness to the influence of others. 51:19 💖 Great dating advice includes putting effort into romance, avoiding the misconception that love should come easy, and understanding that seduction requires patience, skill, and genuine gestures. 55:42 🕺 Real confidence is built through actual achievements and skills, not through faking it or bravado. 57:23 👥 Developing social skills and reading body language is crucial for seduction, as genuine body language communicates more than words. 58:03 💼 Confidence also comes from creating things, achieving goals, and demonstrating competence in various aspects of life. 01:06:06 😃 Pay attention to genuine smiles, as they light up the entire face, and distinguish them from fake smiles which appear tight and insincere. 01:06:46 🗣 Voice tone and speed reveal a lot about a person's confidence, with nervousness often reflected in fast speech and voice tremors. 01:07:42 🕵‍♂ Body language reveals leadership qualities, like leaning forward in a business meeting or having engaged feet during a conversation. 01:08:49 🧠 Milton Erickson, a polio survivor, became a master at reading body language, emphasizing the power of this skill. 01:14:20 🌟 Mastery comes from dedicating significant time and effort to develop a skill, creating a vast neural landscape in the brain. 01:15:45 💡 Discovering your life's task is more important than finding a passion, and it's about feeling a deep connection to a specific field. 01:21:45 🤝 When choosing an apprenticeship job, prioritize learning opportunities over a higher paycheck. 01:24:04 🧩 Deep observation involves absorbing the codes, conventions, and skills of your field by being outwardly focused. 01:25:12 🤲 Skills acquisition in an apprenticeship phase is best achieved through hands-on learning, following the brain's natural inclination to learn by doing. 01:28:40 ⚡ Dealing with life-changing events like a stroke can lead to the need for new life skills and adaptations, even later in life. 01:28:54 😌 Robert Greene discusses the challenges of adjusting to life after a stroke, emphasizing the need for patience and acceptance. 01:31:57 🤔 Robert Greene reflects on the role of circumstances and unpredictability in life, highlighting the importance of appreciating what one has. 01:34:30 🌞 After experiencing a stroke and a long recovery, Robert Greene emphasizes the significance of finding joy in life's simple pleasures. 01:36:08 🤝 Robert Greene speaks about the importance of having support from loved ones during difficult times and how it has been crucial for him. 01:44:01 😕 Robert Greene shares his complex perspective on humanity, acknowledging the darkness within while also hoping for positive change, especially through the younger generations. 01:48:26 😄 Robert Greene recalls the happiest moment of his life, which came when he was given the opportunity to write the "48 Laws of Power," and how he continues to appreciate it. 01:51:20 🌑 Robert Greene discusses the importance of confronting the darkness within human nature objectively, acknowledging its existence. 01:51:35 🙏 Stephen Bartlett expresses gratitude to Robert Greene for his vulnerability, openness, and the lessons on perception, happiness, and self-awareness from their conversation. 01:52:01 🎙 Robert Greene compliments Stephen Bartlett as an exceptional interviewer and listener, acknowledging the quality of their conversation.

I love Robert Greene's wisdom, transparency & honesty. It's so calming & insightful to listen to him. He speaks eloquently with his words & sentences. I learned so much from all of his insightful experiences. Thank you Robert & Steven

I started reading the laws of power couple months ago… now I’ve finished that book, art of seduction, and mastery by Robert Greene. His style is so engaging, it’s fun to read and learned so much history from all his books

Enjoyed this immensely!! Reading your books now😊 “I was ashamed of myself when I realized that life was a costume party, and I attended with my real face.” -Franz Kafka

Topics: 00:00 Intro 02:14 Your book & its international success 11:44 What is power? 22:18 Learn how to use your enemies 24:53 Conceal your intentions & be a strategist 33:42 Is it being a narcissist good or bad? 42:10 The power of seduction 45:24 What makes you anti-seductive? 51:18 Best dating advice for single people 01:02:48 Your body language betrays you 01:11:26 Learn the art of mastery 01:26:16 Ads 01:27:17 A stroke changed my life 01:34:23 My struggles and how to overcome them 01:39:14 What have you learnt about happiness? 01:48:02 Last guest’s question

What about when you're 57 and you realized that you've totally wasted your whole life? That's how I feel most of the time. Even so, I still push forward and find that by doing so, good things happen.

This is exactly what Im going through. I have never really learned to act. I believed in honesty and authencity which doesnt mean that I occasionally held back in my conversation to figure out if could trust someone. Now Im allowing myself to actually act. Plus sometimes I have thoughts about whether Im acting like a narc too, I realized whats important is the intention behind it. Im not practicing confidence to stand above other people or put others down. Ive been hurt so much, I never wanted to hurt others. I dont act or say things to other people to purposely hurt them, and used to play myself down so others dont get intimidated or triggered until I realized what I was doing to myself. And that their intimidatoin shouldn't be my problem, that I should surround myself around people that dont feel intimidated by confidence.

The beginning where he teared up about losing half his mobility and said “don’t take it for granted” really hit me because I was incapacitated for six months due to infection from a tattoo. I couldn’t walk, couldn’t bathe, I could barely move without pain and for a moment I didn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. I felt like I was stuck. So I imagined myself walking and going to the forest and eventually I began healing. Literally, be grateful for all your basic functions!

Robert Greene is my favorite author and I feel extremely NBLESSED and fortunate I was able to meet him when he was here in Atlanta. This was a PHENOMENAL interview. THANK YOU to you BOTH!!! You made me realize to value the most important things in life.

I totally agree with Robert. You’re a great interviewer and the quality of your questions with your great ability to listen without interrupting makes your Podcast one of the top Elite podcasts. Thank you!!!

I really admire how the interviewer Steven Bartlett allows Greene to talk and listens and in fact Greene acknowledges this towards the end. Fantastic interview. Thank you.

I read it when I was 29yrs old! Now 20yrs later.... reading this book again and this one time I learned the advice Do not "outshine the master" Thank God in the end my ex-boss pushed me further in my career. But at my new job, I'm definately paying more attention. Boss ego's are something else. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this great interview.

This was by far probably the BEST interview that I have ever seen! Robert thank you for your knowledge regarding humanity, your outlook, deep thoughts, articulation, wisdom, and for sharing it all. I will start reading”The 48 laws of Power” tonight. Happy Healing💫💫💫 Let’s all show gratitude for the small things in life!❤️

I watch lots of podcasts to improve myself and be a better person than I was yesterday. And I'm so hooked up on podcasts and I'm truly truly grateful. God bless you all 🙏

I am addicted and obsessed with this man’s intelligence….I’ve just read 48 Laws of Power and now reading The Art of Seduction - omg I cannot put this book down. ❤❤❤❤

Just sat down to watch this episode. I've a condition that mimics having a stroke over and over again (Hemiplegic Migraine) and it has been SUCH a gift for my productivity. I don't take my ability to write for granted, because 1/2 the time I'm experiencing a 'stroke' and recovery from it. I rest knowing that if I rest well, I'm better faster, and I plan what I'll do when my body works again. I'm very lucky.

Robert you are one of my favourite authors . The amount of work & research you do is mind blowing ! I wish you well and hope you will publish more and more impactful books .

enjoying life, disabilities, and compassion. As someone familiar with Greene's work, this is the most valuable thing i've ever heard him say.

Almost everyone, including the media, is anticipating a market catastrophe, and as a result, many are turning a blind eye to the opportunities in the market. I began investing in stocks and Defi earlier this year and it is the best choice I've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million from an initial 90k and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news, chances are you’re quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, maximize it.

I'll never get bored of Robert Greene. Always fascinated by his interviews. Thank you for this podcast! ❤❤❤

One of the most impactful interviews ever - the rawness in emotions and reflections on life is worth more than gold. I wish you had spent more time on his personal journey than his work which we can all read about in our own time..

Robert is always mind blowing. But also Steve thank you so much for exposing your vulnerability in the first half of the interview. It makes everything much more real, meaningful and applicable. Thank you!

I’ve been a Robert Greene fan for decades and read his books every year. He’s been a distant mentor for me during my life. Thank you Robert!

I needed this podcast 40 years ago...great interview. A lot of people figured out what was important during the pandemic. Then we were forced back into "normalcy" and we left it behind. Perhaps the next generation will find a good work/life balance.

I read The 48 Ways of Power in jail many years ago. Damn this guy is a Fn genius, because i don't care what color or race you are. That Fn book is the truth. ✊🏾

Thank you Steven. I agree with Dr Greene, you are a superior interviewer. You ask thoughtful questions and you let your guests speak. You are a great listener thank you for all your fascinating guests.

I read his book 48 Laws in high school back then I didn’t really get it because I had no clue about life now in my mid 30s I carry this book like a bible… I actually just purchased the box set with all of his titles I too am an inspiring writer and it’s true u had to work different jobs and experience a bunch of crap and hang ups just to have something to write about. Very inspirational figure here glad we can give this man his flowers well deserved much respect!!!

I am thankful my insomnia led me to this interview from midnight to 2:48 am. Only now discovering Mr. Greene through this interview having read none of his books I have now become a fan of you both for different reasons. I identify with Mr. Greene interests in human nature and behavior, and the challenges he currently faces . I have played the role of caregiver thrice in my short 65 years on earth. The first was a conscious choice to help my mother die with dignity in her home after a terminal cancer diagnosis(1998). The second was an ageing neighbor and friend estranged from family by distance and prison parole restrictions who suffered a stroke at least twice as well as fractured limbs eventually succumbing to Covid-19 in a state nursing home(2021). The third is a former lover I met in 1979 until 1987 when he left me because my crack addiction during the HIV epidemic. Our orbits intersected once again 20 years later. He was disabled by a fall on ice requiring double shoulder surgery and I was living in a bedbug infested single room but employed during the banking collapse at the end of Bush Jr. presidency. He had another accidental fall requiring doible knee surgery followed by a successful remission of prostate cancer. So yeah life is what it is but there's never a dull moment. Always grateful for a new day. I enjoy your interview style that lets viewers feel like their sitting right there at your table. KUDOS!

Confidence is something you CANT FAKE

It took me 1 week to fully complete this episode...i am so grateful i listen. Such an honest conversation. I am a Robert Greene Fan!!.. Thank you , looking forward for such great episodes!!

My first Robert Greene book was called Mastery. I read it in jail at probably the lowest point in my life. I was so inspired and was able to reflect honestly on my mistakes and the reality of my situation that I was able to begin my journey in sobriety. Im growing more and more everyday. Currently looking for an avenue to learn a skill set that I can give back and contribute value to my community. I love technology and science if anyone is looking for an apprentice :) Thank you for the interview! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I had a stroke two years ago, and everything that he said is exactly how I feel going through such a traumatic experience. It definitely changes you and you see things from a completely different perspective. I appreciate his message because he spoke some truths that I needed to be reminded of. Thank you so much for this interview.

Simply be yourself, that’s the best way to be seductive 🌻

💪🏾💯✊🏾 RESPECT ⚔️ HONOR !!! Robert Greene is one of my favorite authors. I was introduced to his work over a decade ago. It was great to hear some of his story. Thank you 🙌🏾

Thank you for this. I truly wish in 2003 when my dad passed, combination of cancer and stroke, that KZfaq had existed so we could have watched these inspirational talks together. I was 33 when he passed and still miss that man.

I was actually gonna say that Steven has this amazing ability to bring out the best of his guests with his questions, and be so intimate in their minds without losing the seriousness and professionalism that you expect in this type of podcast. Great chapter as always and thanks Steven for this wonderful content.

I learn a lot from this man. Robert, success takes time however you did a great work for eternity

"*The moment I consider myself HAPPY is the same moment that I also declare a completely indifference towards the suffering of the majority around me.*"

This podcast made me realize so much about current self and the reasons why I am what I am. I deeply regret to have intentionally avoided reading the 48 Laws of Power because of the warnings about it not knowing the real intention behind the book. I feel like I missed a whole lot of opportunities to make my life better by not reading the book earlier in my life. Thank you both for the wonderful discussion shared free for everybody to learn from.

Only tonight had I heard of either of these guys, and tonight I just became a HUGE fan of both of these guys! What an amazing respectful and heartfelt interview.! Thanks to the both of you for allowing me to sit in! This kind of interview actually gives me hope in humanity again. WOW!

You are one of the most inspiring people I have ever met, you are as real as can be and it is hard to find words to say how much I appreciate your work. It's amazing and the book is great

I appreciate Brother Greene just being real. His authenticity is refreshing. I love his work ❤

I first read 48 laws of power in jail. Where supposedly it was a banned book. I got a paper copy that some inmates had written out long hand. Yeah by hand. If there are men writing this book out by hand I had to read it. Completely changed the way I looked at things.

“Cheapness in your spirit”. Gold.

One of my favourite episodes so far, such a sober view on different aspects of life and people coming from Robert😊 sounds like very genuine man

This was my favourite interview of yours. Thank you for bringing Robert on, such an incredibly inspiring man. Your wisdom has been a blessing Robert 🙏🏽🧡✨

That part that he says that basically when you come from worst to then better opportunities in life having that difficulty let’s you appreciate that current new position, status etc is truly a great gift to have…..

Not to sound dramatic or anything but life wouldn’t be the same without your podcast 🙏🙏 I am inspired and grateful. Thank you

This has been my favorite podcast interview of all time! My mind and spirit have been moved by the exchange and dialogue presented by these 2 humans ❤️

I have loved your podcast. I am very impressed with Robert Greene's teachings.

Used to think of seduction in the negative sense but from now on, I know it’s a powerful tool when well used. What a fascinating talk- thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks

One of the biggest things I got from this interview is from the last part where Robert speaks of his affliction. There are people that have less than I have that are doing better than I am. This is really inspiring for me when I feel low. Thank you very much Steven and Robert. ❤

A great guest with a lot to say and a humble mind. Wonderful. I wish him good progress with his body.

This is one of the most important pieces of content on KZfaq. Thank you so much for this information.

Seduction isn't about playing mind based games, as Robert Greene suggests. The basis of seduction is attraction. Attraction is based on how you make other people feel. If you feel calm, relaxed, happy, confident, etc, it helps others feel the same in your company. Learning to love yourself properly by exercising, eating, and drinking healthily, meditating, and spiritual growth are so important in developing into the kind of person that others want to spend time with. They take time to develop and involve being on your own. Attracting the right person into your life will just happen naturally after that.

I never heard of Robert Greene before, and I ran across this interview by accident, but as I kept NOT closing it out, I somehow kept listening... Robert Greene has taught me so much in this ~2 hour interview. This is such a powerful story and interview. Thank you.

This is the best interview I have ever watched - life affirming; life changing. Thank you Steven. Thank you Robert. My deepest gratitude...

I learned so much from Robert Greene, and I'm proud to say that I have almost every single of his books. There are no words in the English vocabulary that could explain how much admiration and love I have for this man. Good lord. I wish him only the best. ❤
