I absolutely love Robert Greene, I could listen to him talk for hours and I can read his books over and over. I’ve loads of respect for the amount of effort and research he does for each book. I really hope he carries on writing great books 👍

I ABSOLUTLY LOVED THAT INTERVIEW! Some people complained but it's actually great to see a real conversation between the interviewer and Robert. An interview shouldn't be Robert Greene reciting his knowledge, there are his books for that. It should be an interviewer asking questions we all ask ourselves reading his books and bouncing on what Robert says. So, THANK YOU FOR THAT WONDERFUL INTERVIEW, i really learned a lot and omg the Quibi thing got me excited!

Less is more, don't try to outshine the master

The interview and the interviewer were AWESOME. It felt like a natural conversation between two normal people in a cafe! And you could tell he was enjoying the conversation, so congrats to the interviewer!

Robert Greene it’s because your heart is good that’s why GOD gave you the wisdom to interpret all kind of situations.

Pains me when interviewers havent even read his books... yet interview him substantively about his books— all your answers are IN DA BOOKS! Robert plz let me interview you

The reason why Robert was accused of selling out is because he gave up the secrets for how most rich people have gotten rich and have stayed rich. Their is a positive and negative way to use 48 laws of power. Misuse of the information is how the rich stay rich. Also, his explanation for why black hip hop artist gravitate towards his book was spot on. He was being modest or trying not to be “so perfect”by saying she needed to ask them but he already knew the reason why. Robert is a genius.

The interviewer is wise and authentic. She can make another person open up and feel connected to her. And she does that in a subtle way. Robert Greene seems so relaxed and happy during this interview. Thank you for uploading. I enjoyed watching this interview so much.

"Right?" "Right." "Right."

In that envy segment, oh boy, the interviewer got very nervous and anxious for some reason, and barely let Mr. Greene speak. He has a lot of patience. Breathe in, breathe out.

[XavirNaidoo]

Feels like the interviewer was always wanting to seek validation for her points of view from Greene, and not actively listen to him and absorb his valuable knowledge

Nobody takes influence as a bad word. People take NEGATIVE influence as negative. So when you’re a shitty role model don’t expect people to follow your advice.

Awesome Interview, You deserve a sub and awesome to see Robert healed from his stroke. I've read all 6 of the books and they slowly change the way you view reality in a very positive way! Thanks for you work sir!

[Hater-ipnc]

None of the interviewers deserve someone like him...because of their egos

[johnstoneipalo]
