Robert Greene on The Laws of Human Nature, Mastery, and Strategy
For those who haven't heard, Robert recently had a stroke. He expects to make a full recovery, but has cancelled other interviews on The Laws of Human Nature. Feel free to wish him well in the comments
Oh my goodness. Awful news. Thanks for this.
Brendan Carr 😱Thanks for sharing, I didn’t know. I’m an ardent reader of his books and a true fan. I hope he makes a full recovery. We need more books from him.
I hope mr greene makes a full recovery
Praying for a speedy recovery Mr. Greene!!!
Brendan Carr I wish Robert Greene gets better
In my eyes one of the greatest writers of the 21st century.
for sure
for sure
Yes you are right
Im three years late but you're right
He's a fucking clown. He works for the illuminati THEY write his fucking books
Probably the most important thing I learned from reading Mastery, was in reference to learning something new. When you learn something new you have to mentally in a sense, become like a child. A child is open, curious, dependent, and has no ego or pre notions. He/she just wants to understand.
Kennard Waters, yes, and the child must learn. It's a matter of survival! Such an interesting idea! Thanks for sharing😀
Robert Greene changed my life.I'm sending him love and prayers for a speedy recovery.
Silkyslim2111, thanks for sharing! How did Robert change your life?
What happened to him?
Robert Greene and Jordan Peterson changed my life
m f, thanks for sharing! How did they change your life?
Jordan Peterson changed mine too. Now i am going to get some help from Robert Greene
Brendan Carr , Robert Greene taught me to see my self and the world as it is, not what I thought it was, Jordan Peterson introduced me to Carl Jung and they both taught me to understand my unconscious more, it got me more in-tuned with what it is.
A true realist! Highly intelligent. He tells it like it is in life. Read his books... it will educate you on modern life. You must read to gain knowledge.
Robert Rudick, well put! How did you get into Robert's books?
And you can’t just read it once. You study it. Bit by bit. It’s very enticing especially when you read it more than once.
I wish I knew of him in high-school.
I love this interviewer because he lets Robert “flow” into the interview, rather than doing a power play and using their ego to create a defense against Greene IMO. I’m noticed that others interviewers bombard him with questions and dance for the camera too much. This is lengthy but good!
ImCheesedOut, thank you for noticing my respect for Robert! It was great to see him "flow" through his ideas. What was your favorite part?
Brendan Carr just how he talks about assuming formlessness and to never stay confident with the idea that a war is won just because the battle has been... good author
ImCheesedOut, yes, and so cool that Robert really lives it out in his work
Robert Greene’s books changed my life for the better. Opened my eyes to reality
Christopher, how did Robert's works open your eyes?
Robert green always look exhausted he’s a hard worker
Hard work
Seriously he look sick...pray he's ok after his stroke 🙏🙏
he does look exhausted. it’s hard to look at him and not wonder if he’s okay
tony m He has lots of sex.
Robert y I share the same birthday he is a perfectionist....We NEVER claim it but we are y even tho we have confidence we doubt the process of others.....thats why he got stressed it has nothing to do with w his lifestyle it's his extreme work ethic y dealing w outside stress that he CANNOT control.
Found him at the right moment in my life. What a mind!
I can listen to him all day 😌
yes, he's the best!
Robert i pray you have a fast full recovery.
The only intellectual who has shed light on life's practicality
Simple Mind, Robert truly stands out in being practical
He has such a beautiful mind. I hope the stroke didnt damage parts of the brain for writing and speaking....we all want Robert to be alife being able to continue his passion! Best wishes for his recovery
definitely, thanks for sharing Dr. Mindful
Unlike other podcasts, where host talks too much than guest. You talk very less and listening more , that's why your podcast is special and awesome
thank you very much for noticing :)
I have listened to so many interviews of Robert Greene but yours was by far one of my top top top favourites! You were so knowledgeable and respectful of his work. You didn’t cut him off etc etc I could go on forever but anyways. Awesome awesome interview. Thank you!
Yep, important to know how to interview. Interruptors are attention whores in the wrong field imho.
"You have options when you have knowledge" That's mind opening.
I'm really happy that Greene's latest book is almost out, I've been awaiting this for so long. This guy is one of the most outstanding humanists and brilliant thinkers of our time.
Maverick Artitude Entertainment, yes, Robert and his works are such a treasure
That's truth
One of the greatest minds of our time! Heal quickly Robert!
Laura Kay, he really is!
He is my teacher!!!
No other man besides my father inspires me like Robert Greene. What a beautiful mind.
Glad this inspired you! Have you seen our 2022 interview - kzhead.info/sun/lbiHcsqXnIuPaXk/bejne.html
@@BradCarr_ thanks will be watching now! Your content is ace Brad!
I could listen to this man speak all day long!!
@Brown Goddess, yes! What did you like best?
Giving up too early happened many times to me. I remember having this friend, she was exactly the opposite and she ended up far more successful than me in school. She wasn't the most talented, but her parents made sure she would work hard, and this sort of discipline helped her later in life as well. She was willing to put in the work.
Miriam Brait, yes, discipline makes such a difference. Did you pick up any favorite tips on this from Robert?
Get well Robert! Your books have pushed me to the greatest heights of my life so far. Your mind is stronger than any obstacle!
He is the master! If he read 500 books and 6 years of painstaking hardwork to write one book, this is a small setback. He will be back. I can't wait to receive his latest books in a few days!
Mixa Nguyen, yes, Robert is a master for sure!
I’ve recently started studying Sir Robert Greene’s books. I love listening to his lectures. I’ve such immense respect for this man, I cannot put in words. I wish him a healthy life. Any platform that covers his lectures have my deepest gratitude. I may never get to meet him, much less sit in-front of him and converse. So thank you for that.
Glad you enjoy it! Robert is always a pleasure to learn from
My best wishes to Robert from the bottom of my heart. Thanks.
Robert Greene is needed to help others navigate the world we live in. He is brilliant passionate compassionate humble. I wish him a beautiful recovery. Much love from Australia
@N. D, thanks for sharing!
I love his calm and regular pace of talking. This man simply calms me down. Was the reason I bought his books 2 weeks ago and will start reading. I'm from Poland in Poland 🇵🇱 Best regards everybody!
enjoy the books and thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing. Get well soon Robert. Such a wonderful human being
Norda Spence, glad I could share it! Thank you for watching
My absolute favorite author. Uplifting Mr. Greene in Prayer & Power for full neurological restoration.
Sage 888, thanks for sharing! What makes Robert your favorite?
Brendan Carr I am able to utilize the skills from his 📚 in my personal & professional life.
Mr Greene: The words in these books. Your words. Brought a dead me back to life.
jpadgett15, wow, thanks for sharing! How did Robert change your life?
His voice is SO needed for ALL times and ALL generations. The things he teaches will NEVER become old. #respect
so true
I wish joe rogan will interview robert greene
Mcrey Fonacier, he did! Here's the link - kzhead.info/sun/ntF7aMN8hZedaKM/bejne.html
It’s happened already!
He did but that was back in 2014. Hopefully, Robert Greene will be better and do a new interview soon.
Yeah overall I like Joe and value his contributions, but one thing that he is not is a smart, self-controlled man. He's curious, he's engaged, but man oh man he was never the type to go to college and really learn about first principles and self-control, he just launches into tangents like a madman. All those tattoos up and down his arms are the result of poor judgement and impulsive decision-making. They're frankly ugly as fuck and do not help his look.
Fck Joe ..
Can we take a moment to thank the interviewer!!! He asked all the right questions.
@Qreation with Qia, thank you for the generous compliment! It was so much fun to learn from Robert!
Yup indeedie
Thank you Mr Greene you have changed my life !! Waiting for your next book . May you have good health always ....
praying for speed recovery Sir Greene
nice DAGNON
Robert Greene is one of the superbly masterful and detailed oriented writters on the planet. He does painstaking and ground breaking research and gives it to us in a digestible enjoyable art. Quick recovery Robert.
Dude this book has been amazing so far. So insightful this interview is. I really do feel like he should be put on the shelf of the other great thinkers that he mentions such as Pericles and Marcus Aurelius. We’re very lucky to have this individual
Time is a man's best friend just stay within your positive energy
HumbleWolf, well said
Interesting point.
I've watched the 1st one you uploaded and it was so good iam going to rewatch this one. This is "the best" interview with the great Robert Greene I've seen. Get well soon Robert. We love you!
Zen Davis, thank you for wishing Robert well and the generous compliment! Which of Robert's insights stood out to you?
@@BradCarr_ Don't take things personally. There is many that stood out but that one is so vital.
Zen Davis so true! That's one I need to keep in mind
@@BradCarr_ With the power of neuroplasticity, Iam definitely improving.
Zen Davis yes! It is so powerful! How did you learn about Neuroplasticity? I loved reading The Brain that Changes Itself
Dear Dr Greene .You have given a lot of yourself to others through your writings and interviews.Great that you are able to give interviews eventhough dealing wt difficulties due to enfermity.Prayng for your health.
Please wish Robert to get well soon, I love he's work, great man
yes, he is truly great!
Hope you get well soon Robert, hang in there!
Wonderful interview that needs to be rewatched . And i love how the interviewer gave him the space to express. Well conducted 👌🏻
@LadyKay, well thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it
stay strong Robert Greene God Bless... we need you bro..
This is my favorite Greene interview. Also in my top 5 interviews ever. Thanks man
@Aj Chairez, thank you so much for that generous comment! What made this so valuable for you?
Thank you, Brendan and all your team to make possible this interview with Robert. Given Robert's recovery process, I suppose this will be one of the few new interviews will see with Robert in a long time. I'm glad you make it. Thanks again.
J.P. Solano, you are very welcome! It was a pleasure. And yes, I think it may be the only video interview with Robert in recent history
Didn't know him till now but he sounds lovely and adept in knowledge . God bless his heart xxx
Robert Greene is one of the most insightful and knowledgeable individuals of our time...
word.
One of the great literary minds of our time. Speedy and full recovery to you Mr. Greene. I wish you the best and always look forward to your magnificent works.
This man is amazing. Read this book 2x.
Robert Greene is a fantastic writer! The 48 Laws of Power is currently my favorite book.
The Calm Man, thanks for sharing! Robert is extremely talented. What makes 48 Laws your favorite?
@@BradCarr_ the art of war 48 laws of seduction I can't wait to get this book
Swishing our a speedy recovery! Great full...
Stay abundantly blessed Robert Greene. You changed my life🙏🏾
@janet elock, thanks for sharing!
Robert awakened something in me. Coming from the poorest continent he really gives hope.
Shingirai Magde, wow, that's a special impact from an author! How did he give you hope?
Brendan Carr Hi brendan thnx for interviewing robert really enlightening. My story is quite long but here we go. I live in Zimbabwe and you know the conditions here are something else. Here we are still fighting primitive diseases like cholera and typhoid. This is an environment oozing with fear. Just to survive in this environment is a struggle people are out only for themselves. I cant even get a job because i have no influential relatives. Just today i was in line to buy cooking oil which has turned into gold in my country because of poor leaders. These leaders rule by fear and are not afaraid to kill if anyone challenges them. Recently six people were killed for protesting and no one has dared to protest again. Fear is clearly effective as a tool for crushing opposition in my country. So just surviving and thriving in such an environment is a daunting task especially if you have nothing. Then Robert comes into the picture and iam now able to see this envronment for what it truly is a battleground with intricate power struggles. I hear this talk of importance of enterprenuers in developing countries for further development but to be honest such an environment kills enterprenual spirit. Its possible to rise my friend but everything is against you. So reading the 50th law and what curtis overcame to be a success is inspiring for someone like me. It shows even if i was dealt a tough hand with focus and hardwork i can make something of my self. I know you guys dont have it easy but here when i look around all there is poverty and suffering so Robert to me is a giver of hope. With all his books if you can keep an open mind you get a new set of eyes to see the world for the harsh place it truly is. I have read all his books except the laws of human nature and i have identified with a lot he was saying. Here itz a jungle man its really fucked up but i can continue to work and hope i make something of my self in this jungle. Any beacon of light is welcome. I know i recently started reading him but iam sure in five to ten years i would have digested this philosophy and it can act as an aid as i try to survive in this shithole because to be honest trump was right itz a shithole. I can go on and on but thats wat i meant wen i said he has given me hope that if i keep my mind sharp i can live a more productive life no matter the circustances. I also want to apologise to Robert i read all his books without buying a single i had to resort to free downloads cash is very tight in my part of the world. When i make it one day i promise i will buy the hard copies. I hope i managed to explain myself.
Shingirai Magde, wow! Thanks for sharing. Maybe one day there will be a a book about you :)
@@BradCarr_ : Hi Brendan i have a favour to ask. I know its improper but iam on deathground its a pretty dufficult time for me and so much is at stake. Currently iam unemployed man and there is no job opportunity in sight and my rent is 3 days due. I know this is public domain and what iam doing is embarrasing but iam out of options. Can you spare $100 just for me to pay this month's rent and get a few foodstuffs. Iam not some Nigerian prince who wants to scam you of your hard earned money. Iam just someone asking for help with hope that i will pay back someday things are fucked up here bro. I know this is an asshole move but iam on deathground man and i will cling on to anything to survive.
@@shingiraimagde2176 little late but how are you doing now?
Profound insight from Robert Greene... Sir is just phenomenal and no doubt wonderful teacher through his works... Best part of the interview is that video stays every second on Robert Greene and we can hear Brendan’s voice in background...this helps in absorbing all the non verbal part of teaching which is really commendable...Thank you so much..
prabudh shadija, so glad you found it helpful. I wondered if the single camera would make it less entertaining. Do you think my other interviews should be shot in this style too? Got several coming up and single camera is much simpler
Robert Greene is a genius , love each book
david fox, yes, Robert is incredible! What's your favorite of his books?
Thank you for not interrupting Robert Great!
@Malik Darweesh, thank you for noticing! It's so important to let him work out ideas, especially in long form interview
Analyzing the words and engaging with the thoughts as I listen and what I can bring out of this discussion and use in my reading. He has a lot of great things to say, but also knowing it took a lot of active thought and commitment to the reading as well as his writing.
Mr. Greene, get well soon. Your books have been beneficial in helping me in my understanding of human nature and in my personal growth and self knowledge.
thanks for sharing! Robert is recovering well. You can see him having a laugh in this recent video - kzhead.info/sun/lNCml7SEomeEq6c/bejne.html
Almost done reading the laws of human nature. My mind is blown by how he wrote the book.
A REAL interview, with out constant emotionally blinded over talik! GREAT JOB!
Moose Bme, so glad you enjoyed it! And thank you for the generous compliment
Get well soon Robert...suddenly hopefully. 🦋
thanks for sharin Natisha Martin

Thank you for uploading this interview with Robert Greene, a brilliant mind. He is definitely one of my favorite writers. He’s well beyond most of today’s thinkers, always climbing and taking the reader with him. I really like this guy. Thoughts and prayers for Robert’s recovery💕🍃
C K, thank you for watching. The value in Robert's work is amazing! Who would you like to see next?
Brendan Carr, thank you for responding. I just posted a reply to Robert on Twitter and subscribed to your KZhead account. I know the man is quite populous in interviews - Jordan Peterson. Actually, in today’s world he and Robert Greene tower in their insights. Thanks for asking.🍃
C K, thank you for subscribing! That means a lot to me. I love making these videos. Yes, Jordan Peterson is a master too! Thanks for sharing 😀
I love you Robert --- your books and videos are changed my way of thinking and provide me a totally different aspect of life.
How has Robert changed the way you think?
Love this guy. All the best wishes to your health Mr.Greene
Kamn, yes, a lot to love about Robert's work!
Thank you for the interview. Get well Robert! From Russia with love

Robert you are an amazing human! You have given us all so much to digest with this masterpiece. Please give yourself time to heal and correct your health problems. We will wait patiently. Many blessings to you.
shelly smith, thanks for sharing!
Watch Thomas Sowell... you'll hear something new and insightful every 2 minutes. This moron, Robert Greene, takes ordinary common sense and repackages it into stories which for some bizarre reason leaves people amazed. The only conclusion that makes any sense is that people who are impressed by this moron had REALLY lousy and worthless parents, and are themselves generally stupid.
@@TasteMyStinkholeAndLikeIt what makes you think that people who listen to Robert are stupid?
@@BradCarr_ Listening doesn't make anyone stupid. People who are impressed by common sense are stupid. Common sense should be common... and nothing to be impressed by.
Robert Greene he is a genius man and I saw the interview one of the best to learn tactics to survive in modern world. Thank you so much for this interview Brendan Carr
kshitiz modi, thank you for sharing! what did you learn from Robert?
@@BradCarr_ Yes Never outshine your masters with your colleague's, friends and your boss and be a private person in your life. Well you met already Robert and what you learn from Robert and how you are using the principles in your life?
@@kshitizmodi5120 thanks for sharing! When I have a big problem to tackle I usually thumb through 33 Strategies of War before deciding on an approach. That book is underrated
@@BradCarr_ well I'm little bit confuse in Humans laws of nature and 33 war strategies!
16:09 - This is the part I found insightful, and why I like Mr. Greene, even though I *loathe* anything self-help related with the fiery passion of a thousand burning suns.
@AtmoStk, what made it insightful to you? The value of frustration? Or the power of learning from examples?
Robert articulate his ideas very well & his perspective on reality is very solid, yet, fluid. Listen carefully 👂💭💎
Matt McDonough, yes, Robert's such an incredible thinker! Did you have a favorite point from him?
@@BradCarr_ Yes. His emphasis on strategic planning really stood out to me. Having a sense of direction makes the daily grind more purposeful.
Matt McDonough, nice! That idea was part of my inspiration for building this interview platform. Robert called it "making use of dead time" in The 50th Law. Have you read that one?
@@BradCarr_ I listened to the audiobook but I intend to read the actual book as well. And this is a great way to bring 'dead time' to Life 💡
Matt McDonough, enjoy the book! And thank you very much :)
You’re a very excellent interviewer & the BEST listener. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍👍
Get well soon please ...we really appreciate you . Great interview as usual .
I love this man and I feel so sorry for him right now! I hope he gets well soon. Brendan thx for the interview and the reupload.
Alex Mar, thanks for sharing😀
. What happened to him?
You played your part well Brendan, your questions weren't tedious nor lacking of substance. You're going to do well for yourself Brendan❤️❤️
thank you very much!
His wisdom on life & the details behind them backed by pictures, examples, & metaphors etc is truly astounding! Can anyone point me to his best book to start reading?
Keenan Duggan, so true! Generally, I recommend starting with Mastery because it is foundational. Although his new book is even moreso. What are you trying to learn? That would probably guide your choice
May god bless robert.the world need your long life to benefit from unick knowledge
I love Robert Greene's work. His books completed the clarification of my studies, and experiences of social dynamics to finally specify the interactions I have around me daily. I wasn't socialized correctly. My Ma and Step Father didn't socialize much cause they were considered the "help" where I grew up. I didn't get to visually observe a parent properly interact with others very often. Even though it was a small town in school I didn't understand social status. I didn't actually really understand it until I turned 30 Haha.
@Leb Mc, glad it was helpful! What did you learn the most about from Robert?
Sending you light, love y blessings virtually Robert Greene y SII!
The laws of human nature is my favourite book it has changed my life❤️🔮🦋
Anuradha Gooroodoyal thanks for sharing! how did the book change your life?
Your parents belong in prison for leaving you so intellectually deprived that you find this idiot educational.
I know all about pain. It has been my mentor my entire life.
💙
Get well Robert .... love what you do
Ah l have studied Roberts books and Robert would suggest finishing them off whilst they are down and whilst wearing your velvet gloves now that’s food for thought hey
Get well soon Robert. We love you.
Robert gives me the new perspective and face the reality with power
I really like how in his books he tells historical stories that are interesting and you never know what the lesson is going to be. I'm always surprised by the takeaways or how things go in a completely different way to what you expect. Then i find myself researching these stories or people who I had no idea how insane or genius they were, eg Howard Hughes!
@channelKERR, thanks for sharing! I was just discussing Robert's storytelling skills with a friend. Whats your favorite?
@@BradCarr_3 years already😢
Outstanding Brendan with Robert Greene! Hopefully our friend Robert has recovered greatly and is doing much better. I wanted to know how can I help you bring more value to your show and segments?
U are a great interviewer
Mizo Book Club, thank you for the generous compliment! I love doing these interviews. Feedback is always appreciated :)
This interview help me alot. No idea how much it solve some of my confusions in some area. Thanks Brendan For this interview❤
You're welcome! How did it help you?
I appreciate you, Robert Greene. Thank you for all your amazing work.
he's the best!
At around 10 minutes Robert starts talking about how when someone is writing something it’s alive and important but when you read it, it can feel dead. I had a similar thought reading the Book of Job. It dawned on me that I was reading someone’s meditation on the unfairness of life and our right to criticize what the universe hands out to us and the author was very clearly struggling with it. It’s also long because it’s a tough important question without a clear answer.
His books are profound and life changing! May God bless him!
amen!
Excellent interview. Thank you very much for sharing.
Win B, thank you. It was a pleasure
