Robert Greene's 10 Stoic Laws For A Better Life

Like the Stoics, Robert Greene has spent decades operating within and around the halls of power. And trying to understand human nature and psychology. And mastering his craft. And advising politicians, leaders, financiers, princes, serial entrepreneurs, platinum-selling musicians. In this video we've compiled some of Robert's best thinking on Stoicism, power, and getting better every day.

Robert Greene is an American author known for his books on strategy, power, and seduction. He has written six international bestsellers: The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, The 50th Law, Mastery, and The Laws of Human Nature. His newest book The Daily Laws: 366 Meditations on Power, Seduction, Mastery, Strategy, and Human Nature is a daily devotional designed to help you seize your destiny.

I’m 25 and found this way of life a few months ago. Its priceless content. Timeless lessons.

This shit has genuinely changed my life. It isn’t easy at the most intense moments but truly trying makes a big difference.

Life really is as good as you see it.

Wow.... I love every minute of this talk show

I need to build the bridge between stoicism and the 48 laws of power. They seem to be at odds with one another unless you apply the power to greater good.

Ryan, thank you so much for the wisdom you share in each video. I didn't know much at all about Athenian Stoicism until I began watching your content, and for me, because I've struggled for 35+ years with anxieties, OCD, severe depression, and chronic suicidal ideation, you have been a literal life saver. Learning about (devouring) Stoicism and adopting the concept of being conscious of my immediate, emotional reactions to situations, people, and the sense that something bad is always going to happen, and then, when I was ready, intentionally controlling my reactions to those things, has changed my life.
Thank you.

Thank you both for inspiring me to write again 🎉❤

[chrishollandsworth]

So glad I found this content. Instant 'sub' from me. I hope that stoic wisdom will return to the consideration of the masses, and maybe even replace the sillyness that we've been preoccupied with (religion and spirituality)

Use the Alexander Technique to better implement stoic principles - AT allows us to use our minds and bodies in the most efficient way - purely from a bio-mechanical pov - Frederick Mathias Alexander (Australian actor born 1880 ish) called it taking control of our psycho-physical organism - counter intuitively the process involves mentally ceding control - stopping yourself from trying to be right in your ‘use of yourself’ - another fave Alexander phrase

Is there a Live Talks LA coming up? or were you referring to a past event?
