ROBERT GREENE | The Laws of Human Nature

Robert Greene is a New York Times best selling author.

You can be a genius in your field and know all the things you need to know, but if you're bad with people you will totally neutralise your brilliance and can face many difficulties and pains in life...

Today we're talking about Robert's new book The Laws Of Human Nature, as we delve deep into understanding people’s drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves.

Robert names this most recent publication "the culmination of the last 20 years of his work" - so get ready for some fantastic insights.

One of the greatest philosophy leaders of our time know he is just a man not superior to his readers wishes to share his mastery for anothers growth truth slapses you in the face to see your self in the now as you truley are and begging to not lie to you and love the truly complex you are and giving me a hungry to learn about others

[lukemacon]

53:23 is super funny partially because he’s also laughing makes you realize it’s funny and quite disarming. Very cool that he laughs and makes you laugh too and open up.

Regarding Mr. Green's comment on Envy, it's like Ric Flair said in his famous "Golden Spoon" promo "It's the old adage that you like to hear somebody's going pretty good, but you don't want to hear they're doing better than you."

Now I understand that old bible verse better that says "bread eaten in secret is pleasant" 28:40.

Narcissism is not a normal human behavior. I mean "narcissist" as described by psychologists. These are dangerous people, if you become a target. You won't understand the misery and chaos they can cause in your life unless you experience it personally. I was in a 5 year "battle" with a narcissist. I almost lost everything. **Don't make light of what a narcissist is and the damage they cause to others.**

[Romie]

I've really enjoyed this episode! Thank you! I feel that Robert Greene's words on narcissism are now more relevant than 3 yeas ago, when this episode was released, as narcissism has become such a trendy word and the new villain

[gmont]

I feel like most people dont care wat others are saying... They are just waiting for u to shut up so they can talk

Tristan Harris hosted a phenomenal documentary on Netflix about social media. Very informative! It changed the way I think about these platforms after I watched it. I actually watched it twice. It’s something you can watch more than once and learn something new each time. There was actually a depressing side to it. A lot of these people that are on the documentary once worked for Facebook, Google, Pinterest, as well as Twitter. I found many of these former employees to be a bit tormented. Once they left these companies they realized the guilt and remorse that came along with a lot of these underhanded seductive ways that they actually helped create to lure us in as an audience to these platforms. I felt badly for them. They probably earned a good living but there was a heavy price tag of a weighed down conscience that came attached.

Would LOVE to hear what that book, titled "RUSSIA", is doing on Robert's shelf. Amazing podcast, amazing people! Thanks!

I hate when people say, “just be yourself.”
