🎓About Robert Greene🎓
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, and Mastery.

In his highly anticipated sixth book, The Laws of Human Nature, he turns to the most important subject of all – understanding people’s drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves. Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control. He shows how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people’s masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose.

🎓About Jordan Peterson🎓
Jordan Bernt Peterson (born 12 June 1962) is a Canadian clinical psychologist, YouTube personality, author, and a professor emeritus at the University of Toronto. Peterson began to receive widespread attention as a public intellectual in the late 2010s for his views on cultural and political issues, often described as conservative..

Peterson's lectures and conversations, propagated mainly through YouTube and podcasts, soon gathered millions of views. By 2018 he had put his clinical practice and teaching duties on hold, and published his second book: 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos. Promoted with a world tour, it became a bestseller in several countries. Throughout 2019 and 2020, Peterson's work was obstructed by health problems in the aftermath of severe benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome. In 2021, he published his third book, Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life, resigned from the University of Toronto, and returned to podcasting.

The one that stuck with me was, "don't light yourself on fire to keep others warm"

[vrteks]

Never taken his personality analysis, but I've always considered myself to fit his definition of being "highly agreeable". It's always made me think of myself as a pushover. Being at least a bit more disagreeable, in the right situations, would help my life immensely. There will always be people out there who want to take advantage. Don't get pushed around just because you have empathy. Remember to respect yourself, even when others wont.

[YuzuLeMoon]

He's right. I feel like agreeable people end up in a state of conundrum wherein they don't know what to choose, whether to keep being themselves (but that's not the answer for they themselves know the psychopath will keep taking advantage of them and they will keep feeling hurt till they become cynical themselves), or to exchange their agreeableness with the same level of malevolence in order to deal with the evil. Then they would keep overthinking how there must be more ways to deal with this than just these two, especially the latter for that option is simply too extreme, only to arrive back at either one of the two. Now, people would ask, "Why not just leave? Avoid the the problem?" Well, that's the problem. They are agreeable people, so that means when they try/surely had tried to leave, the disagreeable people cling onto them, latching and ultimately painting them as the ones who were mean to leaving, rewording it as "running away" and calling them "cowards." It's an awful situation. So I say, lay it low in the agreeableness. Instead of agreeable, be reasonable and sensible. One should ask for a fair price in exchange for one's service. Be fair for not only others, but most definitely oneself too. If you think the exchange is not right, refuse.

[Eternal_Hope_Q]

I'm agreeable, my Mum is polar opposite...I found balance in my 40s
It seems against my nature yet everyone (including me) is benefitting now that I can make and keep healthy boundaries. It's amazing that saying no occasionally doesn't actually kill anyone, including me!
I had to get over feeling sick to my stomach about it for years but it's doable (and gets easier) if that is encouraging to anyone?

[abuyahya]

From experience once you get done over one too many times you realise your not doing your self any favours beeing the agreeable type. In the end you have to end up turning into something you really don't like the look of but it does keep the opportunists and people who use you at bay. It's a tough world out there.

[allenanderson]

The big thing is learning to be proactive and assertive with people...set boundaries...do it early... enforce them.

[jgprice]

Its nice to know that by that percentage there was at least a dozen psychopaths at my school.

Kinda explains a lot

[Truthmatters]

It broadens my vocabulary every time I watch Mr. Jordan Peterson. ☺️

[DrDomich]

Well, I call it the balance of kindness and sincerity. Sincerity causes disagreeableness, kindness results in agreeableness. You need to have both. It's really simple when you like at it this way - you just need to train yourself in both: sincerity and kindness.

[lies-hurt_Love-Heals]

Yep generations of the sweet agreeable women of my family. I’m changing it all now. I went through a lot and so did my mom and grandmas. I am free now. We are free now!

[charlesfoster]

“The MEEK will inherit the Earth!”
Look up the Biblical/Greek definition of the word “meek” and you will see the example that Jesus gave us to follow…and then all the rest will begin to make sense!

Meekness is NOT weakness, but STRENGTH HELD BACK/IN RESERVE.

This is why JP rejects the notion that nice people who do good are “weak, ”…but rather, are powerful “monsters” who are under godly regulation.

[marymartinez]

Jordon Peterson hit right on the nose never fails.

[BSlackN]

Man do I feel his words, Story of my life right here.

[oldfogey]

I just witnessed an agreeable person get taken but for all the giving she gave to others she will be forever valued!

[essenceocean]

Jesus said ‘be as cunning as serpents and as innocent as doves’.

Standing up for yourself is not being ‘disagreeable’. That’s a human right. Sociopaths, narcissists, etc deny us these basic rights and make us feel less than human, deserving of less than human needs. Don’t let them fool you.
You are not weak for being empathetic.
You are not a pushover for choosing someone else’s idea over your own for the sake of the group.
You are strong from not hiding from the reality that is everyday life by pretending to be emotionless robots like most of us.
EQ is a strength I very much wish I had.
You are powerful in your ‘shortcomings’. You just need to find the people who see them for what they are—gifts.
Thank you for being who you are despite the harshness of society.

[abbyfirdaus]

Thank you. I hope someone will see this untold truth. This weakness not just destroyed & made emotional numb, but the false accused that no longer can bare & always in forever silence full of frustration. What i can do only forgive & keep be kind to people.

[bonniek]

I’m so agreeable and somewhat sensitive to relationship disturbance that I find it very hard to recover from conflict. It can take me out for a period of time depending on how hot it gets and how close I am to the person. If I’m in multiple conflicts simultaneously it’s seriously interrupts my functioning. I have to avoid disagreeable people or I’ll either repress my resentment or sometimes express it inappropriately. I’m working to get better about this. Learning to tell the truth despite the risks of emotional disruption. I’ve found I’m less affected than I used to be. Work in progress.

[anitelufalemei]

I’ve found myself to fit this description of being an agreeable person. The GOOD thing you get out of this is happiness. I find myself being way more open and out spoken when I care about people and being friendly with them. I get even more satisfaction when they end up being friendly to me too ESPECIALLY the disagreeable types. Because at the end of the day. They may try take advantage of me. They may be mean to me. But we’re all the same. We’ve all had problems. Some worse than mine. Bringing happiness to others will bring YOU happiness.

[jt-gdpq]

He's right though that’s why when there are situations like that I'm disagreeable at its finest because nobody should be taken advantage of anybody.
