The Genius of Napoleon

Ridley Scott's movie about Napoleon starring Joaquin Phoenix comes out today. Before seeing the movie, I wanted to share with you the genius of Napoleon and how he has impacted my life.

Mentioned in this video:

Robert Greene is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, The 50th Law, Mastery, The Laws of Human Nature, and most recently, The Daily Laws.

The Art of seduction helped me in many ways
I was an awkward introvert all my life so i isolated myself from others to hide my insecurities seeing this my friend suggested me your books
After applying the principles of the book, my life literally changed
I am getting married next year
And once again thank you so much for your works.

Mastery book is incredible. Robert Greene Sirs depth of understanding is amazing. I am quite sure any one who completely read and absorb its principles will be transformed. My outlook completely changed after reading this book.

It's interesting you mentioned Sun Tzu. His most influential line is "the greatest victory is to win without deploying a single soldier".
I completely agree with you about how Napoleon revolutionized warfare at the time.
I think Napoleon's greatest blunder was exactly what Sun Tzu said above.
In other words, Napoleon fought too much; from Italy to central Europe to Spain and to Russia. He fought too much and so his enemies learned how Napoleon operates and his fighting style. As the coalition learned from their failures, it was able to out maneuver Napoleon.

My 2 cents

[HLLTAF]

I am so grateful for your videos and books Mr. Greene.

[nfnjenen]

The 33 strategies of war was a life changer for me.
Huge thanks to you to devote so much time to create this masterpiece

Napoleon, whist leading his Grand Armee from the very front, had his horse shot out from beneath him. He simply grabbed another horse and resumed his lead. This incident happened to Napoleon several times according to Baron Roberts of Belgravia. Just a larger than life man and a once in a 100 years or more personality.

I truly can't believe a movie about Napoleon without consulting Robert Greene. This guy has studied Napoleon all his life, more than anyone I believe.
Kindly give us a review about the movie Robert. Thank you.

Fluid creative and not obsessed with control. Controlled chaos. Hmmmm love this

[JaswinderSingh]

Mr. Robert thankyou for being here and giving us guidance every time. I really enjoy your books.❤

[teej_]

Dr Greene, Yourself and Ryan Holiday have changed my life for the better. I am eternally grateful for you both ❤

[Mimi-fyhu]

I had two epiphanies watching this videos. I’m obsessed with this content. It’s so universal and inspiring

[marouaaoued]

The most honest writer thank you Mr Robert Greene🎩

[ncprealty]

Your voice paints the picture of depth, knowledge, and sincerity.

[TepidTrowel]

I love this dialogue about going beyond good and evil; understanding human nature in a much broader sense. Napoleon was a revolutionary human being, and had a good and bad side like you say — just as we do, but his explosive will into the world was quite the spectacle. I hope to study more about him, not that anyone should necessarily aspire to be him.

[yousefzam]

I love the way you articulate your arguments. More power to you Robert

[hector]

This underestimated man is a living literary Napoleon of our time. Thank you Robert.

[Mr.KingHistory]

Thank you for mentioning David Chandler’s work. I luckily have my own copy, I don’t think they publish it anymore (You can still buy an unsold one online or buy used). It is a LONG read, but it perfectly captures the brilliance of Napoleon’s leadership, tactics, logistics, and campaigning in such great thorough detail.
