In today’s episode of Impact Theory, Dr. Robert Greene is sharing his insights into the interplay between systemic disillusionment, personal fulfillment, and the complex dynamics of human emotions.
Dr. Greene, an astute observer of the human condition, is a figure deeply attuned to the complexities of the mind. Recognized for his unconventional thoughts on human aimlessness, he articulates a perspective that our freedom of choice paradoxically fuels a sense of emptiness - an emptiness that must be filled.
This episode is a deep dive into how pursuing fulfillment through developing valuable skills leads to not just serving oneself but also serving others.
We’re covering:
- Economic and demographic challenges faced by the younger generation
- Embracing life experiences as learning opportunities
- Overcoming cynicism and nihilism
- The beauty of embracing the excitement and enchantment of life
- The power of self-reflection
- Shifting focus from external validation to intrinsic passion
- Dealing with insecurities and emotions for a better understanding of others
- Facing and taking a proactive approach to difficult circumstances
- Maintaining a positive mindset amidst adversity
- The productivity of channeling competitive energy
- The challenge and benefits of introspection and meditation
- Redefining masculinity in the modern world
- The effects of societal influences on male confidence
- Understanding the difference in seduction approaches between genders
- The integral role of negative capability in creativity and breakthroughs
- Recognizing the right moments for change and navigating emotions wisely
- Identifying personal interests and superpowers for motivation
- Evaluating and correcting life paths to align with true passions
- Making career transitions aligned with initial excitements and skills
We also touch on the power of belief and attitude, the importance of facing challenges proactively, and the seductive power of being assertively oneself.
Get ready to redefine masculinity, tackle societal change, and discover the intrinsic power of the individualistic pursuit of life tasks. Today's episode will revolutionize the way we think about our place in an ever-changing world and how we turn adversity into a driving force for fulfillment.

Powerful Insights From Dr. Robert Greene:
“...you choose things that aren’t right for you, and when you choose things that aren’t right for you, you’re not engaged emotionally and when you’re not engaged emotionally you get bored…”
“The reason you can’t deal with change or you’re not looking at yourself is you have emotional blocks. You’re full of fear.”
“What do you think social media is? It’s an engine of envy. It’s making you continually aware of what other people have and what you don’t have.”
“Everything you do, everything you breathe in is a desire for power.”
“Envy is a huge motivator of people’s behavior now. So the drive to pull other people down is really truly motivated by feelings of envy and inferiority that other people are better than you are.”
“They wanted that fulfillment. And I don't care if they're born poor and they're poverty or they're homeless, they still have that need and they have that capacity to become a master in what they do.”
“What makes you miserable is your self-absorption in many ways.”
“The worst form of therapy is to sit there and talk about your problems. The best form of therapy is to get outside of yourself.”
“Craftsmanship is a high form of intellect in my viewpoint.”
“I just want to get men out of the mode because we are so goddamn analytical that it’s such a problem that reading a book, [...] get the f*ck outta there and pay attention to the person.”

The insight that you are missing is humanity. Emotional awareness is something you only think you are tapped into. It goes way deeper. Your lack of empathy is the telltale sign. This isn't "cancel culture". It is an acknowledgment of shame based upbringings and social conditioning. Feeling like you are superior. As a deconstructed Christian Nationalist.

I'm 62 and am wiping the slate clean and starting my life completely over. I'm moving a thousand miles from the country to a city, to a different climate, without a place to live or a job, and to what I hope is better life. I'm doing this all alone, and I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up, but I refuse to accept the lonely just surviving life that I have had. So don't say it's impossible over 50! That was a very cruel thing to say, because a lot of people have dreams of "someday" that were just stomped on. People can reinvent themselves at any age. And Tom, you were right on the money about what makes your wife feel loved. More guys need to learn this, that a woman wants to feel that she is the most important thing in his life. We can forgive a lot of other things if that's true.

I'd choose the latter. 😉

@genericbotface 28 күн бұрын

@@LIQUIDSNAKEz28 Where do you live such that working more than 60 hours a week still means living paycheck to paycheck? And what happens when you get sick of living with your parents, but you haven't been saving? Won't you just have to "slave away" in order to move on anyway? Or are you having your fun now, and then at some point you plan to start saving (i.e., progress)? Are you at least doing part time work that is building your skills so that you can eventually bring in enough money to support yourself? I'm not judging you for taking it easy, but my point is rather that I doubt living with your parents will be a satisfying existence forever, and you can scoff at the term 'progress' now, but life doesn't let us live contentedly in one situation forever. Whether it's an external or internal change, one way or another, you are going to need to be more creative and adaptable to avoid misery...

I suggest that you add "meditating" for 15 minutes - 45 minutes each day, or a few times a week to that. Not religious. Just sit or lay comfortably and quiet the mind. Any thoughts/feelings, let them be temporary and drift away. Focus on getting ever smaller, ever ever smaller. not letting anything "touch" or get to you. take this mind state with you all day. don't attach to the re-construction of reality that ego has us in.

As a truck driver, might take on the comment at 2:36:19 - driving the truck doesn't fulfill ME, but, I have met people that the job does bring fulfillment to. It's a job that is not terribly difficult to do, but is surprisingly difficult to do WELL. I've been told by a number of senior drivers that it commonly takes most folk about 5 years to really get sharp at the job. At 2 and 1/2 years in, I can believe it. It's actually more challenging than I had expected coming in. As a member of Mensa, I had to place in the top 2% of society in a proctored IQ test. So I'm reasonably good at that kind of cognitive processing. Now, being a trucker does not entail solving differential calculus equations - but to perform the task WELL requires an ability to do rudimentary mathematical tasks on the fly, and adjust them as conditions change. How many miles do I have to go? Is it a fixed appointment time? A fixed window? Wide open? Do I have a metropolitan area to get through? What is the traffic likely to be like at the time of day I go through the city? How many hours are on my clock? How much fuel do I have? If I need to fuel, how busy are the truck stops likely to be, and how will that affect my hours of service? And how will all of this impact any subsequent loads after the one I'm working on now? So, there's actually a bit of mental processing to be done, and while it's not cutting-edge, it does require a bit of savvy. Oh, and try backing a trailer into a dock in a crowded yard sometime... I've had many, many servings of humble pie dished up on that particular plate, LOL

Anyone can do any job badly, but those who have a passion to be the best person they can be will find a way to continue to exceed their past accomplishments in any job. I think driving a truck, like brain surgery, cleaning a supermarket, farming vegetables, teaching children etc etc… all have the potential to do harm and to prevent harm. Every job, every role, has equal value in that way to me. A truck driver who isn’t diligent with their schedule, who doesn’t care for the value of service to their customers, who doesn’t care about finding pride in their work, carry the very real risk of ending someone’s life or livelihood. Conversely, as with all the ways you’ve listed and more, the opposite can be true. I took from what he was saying to mean that the thing that you do is less important than why you are doing it and how you go about doing it. For that person’s father, it could be that he drove a truck coz he couldn’t find another job at the time and then lost the confidence to try something new later, versus if he chose to continue driving trucks because it was the best way to fulfil a more important goal in his life - to provide for his family - and he was able to see the value his job provided for both his life and for others… same career outcome in a way but approaching it with completely different energies/attitudes and that alone will create very different outcomes in enjoyment, success, impact in the world etc. So I applaud you for doing your job and seeing how you can provide value to yourself and others by using the unique intelligence and skillset you have. You’re certainly not “just a truck driver” ✨

I had my awakening on my 5th mushroom journey. 42 years old. Though my life compared to many was privileged. It wasn't without traumas. Extremely anxious, pessimistic, thinking in a scarcity mentality. Consumed with worries about the future. Wishing for death. In 4 years, i did 5 mushroom journies. On the fifth, i felt that i was reborn! But a mature man, not a child. The medicine (my subconscious) spoke to me finally. You might hear something or read it countless times. But when it comes from a clear voice from within, it has a very profound effect. I realized that whatever i feel, that's completely me. NO ONE AND NO EVENT can dictate how i feel unless i agree to feel that way. I agree to play a role in this theater called life. If i feel down, sad, anxious, it's all me. I want (or my ego wants) to live the drama. To play the character. I came out with a resolve. Determination. A clear mind. I broke the viscious cycles. I look and find beauty and perfection in the beautiful blue sky! In the sense of a sweet cool breeze touching my skin. I never appreciated the beauty of nature. I never stood for myself. Now i do. I feel like a mountain. Im united with life. I dont fear death. I dont run away to alcohol. I dont run away to cigarettes any more. If i feel anxious (cant compare to my previous panic attacks) i go on a walk and enjoy the breeze. I cant explain how profound and life changing psilocybin was. The first 4 times i had great trips with amazing visuals but not the deep experience i hear others have. Im usually very resilient to chemical influence. It wasn't untill the fifth time when i had my mind open to my reality.

@user-nl2fc4nm6v Күн бұрын

I love how Robert and Tom are honest with each other, on how their views differ. I believe the mistakes I have made in the past, even the mistakes where I lost money, all the missteps are Ultimately an investment in my education. The key is to learn from the mistakes and not fall into the same traps again❤

Great show Robert. Your guests always amaze me. Your so much braver than I in making public such intimate details about your personal life. I think it's one of the reasons people are so obviously interested in your show. You and your guests bring more value to the possibilities in life than anyone I know. Looking back to the many shows I've watched, I find it incredible how varied the subjects are too. Your open mindedness and candid manner in which you interview your guests is superb brother.. Thank you so much for all you do. I only hope you never give in to corporate TV networks, who I'm sure only see dollar signs when they see what your doing. Have you had offers yet for your own show on nationally syndicated TV networks? They'd be fools to have not made some offers yet.

Being aware of your mistakes makes is the most important thing in learning from them. If you aren’t aware there is no way to learn from what you are unaware about.

I started looking for answers for the ups & downs and all the situations that life has thrown at me. It lead me to Vedic astrology. I watched a ton of you tube videos & had a couple of readings. I've been studying my own charts for the last two years, and it's revealed so much. Things like my own strengths & weaknesses, family situation, relationships, career, small health concerns that I've faced, and the timing of certain cycles in my life. There are certain combinations of planets in certain houses that can cause depression too. There's so much information that slowly reveals itself the more I study. It's fun to look at the charts of friends that you know very well & have those aha moments.

An interesting analysis of how our perspectives and situations change as we get older. But the reality I've seen in my many years on this Earth is that life isn't a linear path and you're always having to adapt to succeed. When you're young and idealistic, the older people around you don't think like you. When you're old and set in your ways, the younger people around you don't think like you. If you're politics don't align with the majority, you're again at a disadvantage. You choose a career path, are sold on a college education, then graduate and are right back to work at the coffee shop because you didn't actually learn how to do anything of value for others. You work hard in an industry but never really fit in with the people who are mostly attracted to that industry, or the industry changes -- when doesn't it change? -- your skills just not as in high demand after so long, or you get fed up with keeping up. The only advantage to being young is that you have a lot of time to burn to figure things out. Assuming you're young, single, with no responsibilities, and that's a pretty big assumption. Have a kid, things change. Ditto for a sick parent or sibling, or you yourself have some disability, or any number of "life" events and situations where you can't live that overhyped carefree do-nothing life. Shit happens to everyone. The "halcyon" days of our youth are generally exaggerated and overrated. There is nothing great about being young, having no skills, no experience, and no confidence. The only advantage is that you're too dumb to know better, so life "appears" a whole lot better than it is, than when you get older and see how screwed up everything really is, and how dumb kids really are, how dumb we all were.

At 3:17.00 Tom's body language changed. Tom changed the topic because Robert found something in Tom that almost got him to cry. A self realization. What I'm guessing is Tom didn't have the best relationship with his mother. What Tom may not realize is Robert realized Tom was using the art of distraction to move on. You can read people without even talking to them. I had to learn this because of my father.

Robert isn’t saying that, though he’s saying that in order to realize and manifest your destiny one of the first steps is understanding the unique steps you took to get there.

I have my own opinion on that particular outlook, that the author was stating, regarding mistakes and/or misfortune, and it is different than his opinion. If you do not disagree with even one single thing any one person says in a three-hour long, detailed and nuanced conversation, then this should scare you, because the probability of this occurring if you were actually thinking the entire time, is low.

Sending for you are and below 👇 1. The teacher usually maintains the vocal cord tea: red tea a bag, the old ginger mother does not need to peel after washing, cut about 0.2 cm, if you can eat spicy food, put a little more about 15-20 slices, a little rock sugar, after cutting all the ginger Put it in a small fresh-keeping box and put it in the refrigerator. Usually, you should prepare ginger mother at home. If you feel hoarse or unable to speak, or feel like you are about to catch a cold😷, put the chopped ginger mother and black tea bag (which can relieve sore throat and vocal cords) into the tea bag, and prepare a 480-600ml thermos bottle, Put the tea bag into a thermos, boil hot water and cover it, let it simmer for 20 minutes, then drink it slowly, until there is no taste, then replace the ginger mother and black tea bag with rock sugar, if there is no sound at all, drink 4 bottles the next day There is a sound, like the initial cold is also suppressed. 2. Fever: about 12-15 slices of old ginger, for children to drink, 1-2 spoons of brown sugar coffee spoons, boil on low heat, pour about 150-200ml into a glass, drink until sweating, must To hot boiling water, sip slowly. After the fever subsides, if you have a sore throat, add a pack of black tea bags, cut 2-3 slices of lemon 🍋 with skin, 12-15 slices of old ginger mother, put it in a teapot that can be boiled, and drink about 680ml a day The amount of small bottles of mineral water is 2-3 bottles, and it is enough to drink for 2-3 days. 3. Sore throat after fever is also good. Adding 3-4 lemon 🍋 tablets with a little salt and potassium ions can relieve headaches caused by colds. Drink it as water to supplement vitamin C, and you can use salt to sterilize. After fever, drink fresh grape 🍇 juice, peel kiwi fruit, apples and oranges 🍊, do not put ice cubes or you will cough. 4. If you have a cough, remove one pear and add a little rock sugar to stew pear soup. After it becomes soft and rotten, drink only pear water. Drink about 2-3 pears and you will be healed. 5. Menstrual headache, dizziness, backache and back pain: Add 15 tablets of Old Ginger Mother, add two spoons of brown sugar, boil water, and drink continuously to relieve discomfort. If you have a thermos, you don’t need to cook it, just pour hot water directly, stew it for 20 minutes, and then drink it. Drink it every day when your period comes!

To Tom’s point where he says “people aren’t *meant* to do something”. I would say 1) Not *everyone* is necessarily “meant” to do something - however some are. Like, Lebron James. He was meant to play basketball. This was a specific gift and he has used it to have an impact on and off the court (his haters not withstanding). The same can be said for all kinds of other gifts that people have in any number of facets. 2) Others may not be as gifted at anything as Lebron is at basketball - but they are at least “good” at things and have particular interests. Those are the factors that should guide them in finding out what to do with their lives - rather than following money, what other people suggest, etc.
