Robert Changed my life in so many ways, just through his books ! Guy literally got me out the hood lmao
mee too brother i can't thank him enough
Well done,brothers!
Not many humans could do that. As in what Robert did for you and what you did for yourself. Congrats brotha
Expound
I agree. I've read all of his books 📚. Def life changing
I read all of Roberts books at 19 years old and they’ve helped me gain clarity being young and black.
Wise young man, wise! Now, act.
Same with me bro this guy is a legend 🙌
,
Wow.I wish.i would have read them back them, would have saved me years of time and frustration
I personally think you should have waited a bit (unless you had the right vacuum for it). You’ll comprehend what I just said 20years from now. Take it easy brother!
Needs his own netflix show. I could binge watch everything he says.
Same
We are in the process of making one based off on his books, you can expect him in cameos
@@saileshram7610 stop lying
1million percent
Hahahaha I'll pay double to watch
I stopped everything to hear the master speak 😁. I love Robert
💯💯💯
Meee too
Yasss!

I’ve read all your books Robert, multiple times along with many other philosophers. Not only do you illustrate the flaws and nature of humanity but you offer your own flaws as well. You have solidified your place among Sun tzu, Carl Jung, Socrates, and Machiavelli. I will make sure of that. I’m sure many others are in agreement. Thank you.
M.S. S for sure.. he gave his life for this. One of the greatest
He is life changimg for me. I have only one complaint, that annoying red text in the margins of the book.
yes, 100 percent agreed.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👊😁
@@BrandonWilliams-wf6hg I love it. It's something uniquely his
The humility of this man...'sorry it was so long'.....superb talk, thank you!
I love this guy. His words calm me. They give me reason and logic to navigate through life.
This man’s books saved my mind in prison! Thank u sir!
Thought they where banned in prison lol
It all depends state to state but only a couple are banned across the board : art of war and 48 laws; but there’s still copies all through lol
@@thinktank8972 just like anything else in prison; if u have $ u can get anything
Robert always seems like he is talking to us because he cares, thats what makes him so special, he cares to make the world a better place. One day I hope to meet you and thank you in person.
You're looking stronger Robert!
Robert Greene saying "bitched-slapped by the reality" has got to be one of my favorite moments of KZhead of all time!! 44:05
Lol caught me off guard but it was definitely a great moment
Yeah!
OG got some hood in him
Bitch Slapped By The Reality Has Me ROFLMAO 😃
LMFAOOOOO AYOOOOOOOOOOO 😂😂
This is solid gold. Robert is a tremendous, rational resource; and a treasure.
Your praise has a rational basis
Thank You Robert, this reminded me to post this quote of yours: “You like to imagine yourself in control of your fate, consciously planning the course of your life as best you can. But you are largely unaware of how deeply your emotions dominate you. They make you veer toward ideas that soothe your ego. They make you look for evidence that confirms what you already want to believe. They make you see what you want to see, depending on your mood, and this disconnect from reality is the source of the bad decisions and negative patterns that haunt your life. Rationality is the ability to counteract these emotional effects, to think instead of react, to open your mind to what is really happening, as opposed to what you are feeling. It does not come naturally; it is a power we must cultivate, but in doing so we realize our greatest potential.” ― Robert Greene, The Laws of Human Nature
Synchronicity .
It's interesting how much this overlaps with the Eastern concept of "sati" or what we often refer to as "mindfulness". The direct consequence of constantly being bombarded with stimulation is that it pushes us further and further away from our non-reactive (or, as Robert refers to it, rational) mind. We are so so hooked on stimulation from our phones and TV's, we're losing the ability to step outside ourselves and realize that we are are not our emotions, we are just the vessel that perceives them. This quote by Aldous Huxley (Paraphrasing Blaise Pascal) comes to mind "The sum of evil, Pascal remarked, would be much diminished if men could only learn to sit quietly in their rooms." Though I don't think we're necessarily doomed, as Robert says, this is a power that must be cultivated, and I believe anyone can achieve it through mindfulness meditation.
I have to say that many good and true things in books - all already have in Buddhism.
So does he have videos on how to do this? How to see what’s really happening vs what our emotions are? I’m going through a spot in my life where I absolutely need this. I am aware that I am confused by what is going on. Bc my feelings are making me feel one way and believe the reality I want, but I know it’s not the real reality. But I also don’t know what is…….
@@Noneya342 The key thing to understand for me is that this life is to understand emotions and discipline them to work for yourself. Mindfulness, meditation and so forth help - I also ended up teaching these as find Robert Greenes books very helpful in motivating me to live my life with more purpose. One of the meditations that can help is going into a deep meditative mode and confronting the fears, darkness within. This is called the Dark Meditation - its possible there are some youtubes on this.
Now, more than ever, we need that new book Robert. No doubt it'll be sublime.
@Augustine Twumasi he reads an average of 350 books just to write one book. That's why his books are so dang good... Along with his tendancy toward realism.. And ability to read and be Somewhat open to perspectives that oppose his =)
Yes! Why not do something more spontainous and less scientific, like fiction?
I am very happy to see Robert looking healthy and wise in his thoughts. :) Best wishes to you and all who see this.
I'm so glad I found your books, especially the laws of human nature. I picked up the book in hopes that I'll understand people more but I ended up understanding myself. I'm so grateful, thank you ❤️
BEST PHILOSPHER of 21st century. Huge respect for you robert, you're changing lives and yes, I LEARNED A LOT today!
Well, what did you learn?
Stephan Molyneux best philosopher . today
@@iTzic21 My Conclusion: I like watching kinky porn too much to care what Robert says-!!!
Your wisdom changed my life! Sending love and light from Malaysia 🇲🇾
I love this man. Would love to spend time with him, him talking about books ❤️
All the way from Kenya, Africa. 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 I honestly appreciate you. Your work has altered my train of thought on so many levels.
Is there Kenya, Europe?
I discovered Robert Greene when I was 21 or 22. It was one of the best things that's ever happened to me. Thanks for putting in the work and for these knowledge you share with us in your books 🙏
You are right in saying the problem is that we do not/cannot see the evidence ourselves, the evidence is presented to us by individuals with their own interests and agendas.

Idiot. you learn real life real things by exerience it.........going through the pain by testing it....not sitting at your desk.....who told you this >>>> you are not ready at al scumb....keyboard warrior ...go volunteer and build projects solve problems and help people and children..
This is the best thing on the Internet right now.
Robert Green is from another Galaxy , so much knowledge
Thank you for helping me understand, learn, and most importantly, let go of a horrible mean girl bullying situation that happened to me. So excited to read all of your books as well as listen to you. You are amazing!!!
My idol. Robert Greene is professor of professors, He will go down in history, generations will be studying his Books. Long live the King
At least this pandemic gave us Robert's videos on youtube hehheeh.
The only good thing happened in 2020, at least in my miserable life
@@satyamprakash7030me too and still studying his work. Now I‘m looking to find the niche where I can find my lifetaks. Greetings from Germany
Another book that provides rational mental models is 'seeking wisdom: from Darwin to Munger'.
I just want to say that i love you so much Robert Greene, thank you for existing
Really like the second to last advice. Social media really does play alot with our emotions. Without our control. Only control we have is getting On social media.
I can’t thank you enough for your work and this masterclass. You are amazing person that inspired my life and everytime I feel that I’m loosing grasp of my life, usually your books and videos put me back on track. I didnt had a father present, but people like you and jordan person usually fullfil this whole. Hard words sometime, difficult to keep listening and painful. But usually makes me free and more comfortable with my mortality. Thanks
My all time favorite author has KZhead channel.. WHAT? The 48 laws of power changed how I see the world. Talk about a revelation. Smh
This information feels like a cheat code to life, even more so than the 48 laws. For the intellectual and reflecting this man is a weapon to wisdom and success in life. You're greatly appreciated Robert.
Robert is a walking genius. I absolutely love all his books 📚👍🏼
Don’t all geniuses walk though? 😜
@@Jnealt12 I learn something new everyday lol 😉
@@Jnealt12 Stephen hawkings?
Whenever I'm caught up in emotions and scenarios where I don't know what to do, I call on (read books by, listen to podcasts of, watch) Robert Greene.
It is impressive how focused on the issue and in the meantime how mindly widespread He is
Dady you don't know how much much u have helped to shaped my life. god bless u with more life.
This is becoming so true right now crazy how accurate this video is
Law 38: Think as you like, but behave like others. Brilliant way to trigger the ‘irrational’ during the end, but for such an esteemed sage of power and human nature, in light of the growing evidence that opposes a lot of your points, this is expert Gaslighting at it’s worst.
Hello, l couldnt get your point, if possible.. Please elaborate it a little bit for me.
Yes, I could not understand either. Please elaborate.
He has no evidence to refute his points. The funny thing is that his argument is almost exactly what Robert predicted would happen.
Robert Green reminds me of my father. I wish one day I could meet him. My father was very fond of history and was as smart as him
Hi Ginger 👋 I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌹🌹🌹🌹
Your words clarify our daily conundrums and provide tools to REALLY understand their orgins and our ability to alter our analysis, actions and outcomes. Thank you for sharing your humble brilliance with the world!💗🙏
I have to be honest, I don’t understand why anyone apologizes for the length of their videos. I enjoy every minute of the message.
Thanks for your books. One chapter of Laws of human nature and a few KZhead videos of yours changed my life. It has got me out of the mess I lived in from last 29 years (I am 29 year old). Your work has guided me to change my habits as well as choose a good career. I know I am late but I am pretty sure the guidance I needed is in your books. I have noticed something great in your TED talk. You talk about work. Because of that I could see that the only way to move forward is through work. You don't get to know where you are lacking until you start working on something. When I decided I will develop a skill and get a job in that I got to know that it is my family that is sabotaging my growth from very childhood. Some of that might be conscious some may be unconscious . That doesn't matter. All that matter is I needed to learn a way to get out of the drama that stopped me from living a life. So I figured out may be I am too emotional and my emotions are not in my control. Thus started internet search and one after the other resources came to me. One day your videos appeared and that is what I exactly needed. I have been fortunate to find your incredible knowledge. But that fortune came to me with a decision to work. Thanks a lot. May Athena bless you with more and more rationality.
Thank you Robert, this message is very timely.
Robert Greene you the best my G‼️
Thank you Robert 👍👍👍!
Love your mind & work Robert, blessed to be alive in the same era as a living legend like yourself! Keep making these videos!🙏🏾
Great to see you posting!!!!!! Awesome vid -Owen
Owen!! this guy has the best channel
Nothing like seeing one of my favorite motivational speakers giving props to one of my favorite authors. Let's me know I'm in the right place.
OWEN x ROBERT COLLAB!!! I know Julian interviewed Robert, he's already a loose connection! change the world with knowledge! 💎⚡🎙🌍💯
Hi I found this comment searching #PUA PandemicUnemploymentAssistance and this comment showed in the google search results www.google.com/search?q=pua&oq=pua these are interesting observations here
David Ciccone That is crazy! You definitely stumbled across a valuable video and thread 👍
I could listen to this guy's speech for hours
A living Legend! I feel so blessed to live in the same era as Robert Greene!
This fits to Plato's five regimes, where he says society moves in 5 big cycles (Aristocracy, Timocracy, Oligarchy, Democracy, and Tyranny)
The mentor of all mentors
The contribution you make to humanity is impressive... the star that guides us in the dark.
Thank you so much Mr Robert Greene for all your teaching, your books they changed my life.
My favorite book is the 48 Laws of power, I've read that book many times
For anyone looking for a practical action item to implement this all, start a mindfulness meditation practice of 60 min/day. I’ve been doing this for 13 months now, and this develops emotional intelligence like no other. All of these lessons Robert talks about becomes intuitive so instead of just listening to theory, you learn it by just observing your mind from a distance. Once you become ever more aware of your subtle emotions/thoughts, you can understand others now. Ever get blacked out drunk and wake up the next day thinking “why the fuck was I thinking/doing that?!” This starts happening multiple times per day when you become more aware of your internal experience
Yes, i have started doing this, it is amazing. 60 minutes though? Whoa. I do 25 minutes and that seems a long time
you're right about theory versus practice, you can watch a million videos like this but not *get it* until you actually meditate
Could you elaborate on your mediative practice.. specifically how you go about it. Thanks!
Robert Greene lectures are amazing 👏
The words cannot describe how thankful and blissful i am for all your books sir. They are powerful weapons, my personal bible, and Ariadne's thread that helps me throughout my life. These videos are probably the best thing that Covid brought, so please keep posting. We all wish you strong health, because this crazy, irrational world needs you. Now more than ever. Thank you one more time master Robert.
Brilliant, Robert. Thank you for this analysis we desperately need today.
I recommend reading Working Minds, by Beth Cradall that explains how we make decisions through intuition and prior experience. It relates to Robert Greene's analogy of "twisting a drill into the wood", where we gain more knowledge and understanding with each attempt.
Can you share the main benefit from this book that you took away? Thanks
this man deserves only the best.
Excellent talk. Can't wait for the next one on Narcissism👌
I'm so glad I found this channel, Robert. Your books have helped me a great deal. I really enjoyed your thoughts on the insanity of 2020. As I have done with your books, I will take your advice, and see how it goes. Thanks for posting!
I'm really quite astounded that Robert hasn't questioned and scrutinised the information around coronavirus more thoroughly.
True. Very easy to challenge covid with logic
@@conlawmeateater8792 I am not aware, could you explain how COVID can be scrutinized?
Robert Greene is powerful rhetoric man his speech is soothing to hear and listen to.
I love seeing your left hand grow stronger and stronger; the unwavering in your voice filled with life and clarity. You show patience through the hurdles of life. Yep, inspired to act wisely without fear! Continue to go forth if even if you never read this; we know you feel us by vibrations and love!!!
We could all use a "bitch-slap" from reality once in a while.
I laughed out loud when he said that 😂 Love this man
Hahaha
Gingerbread Girl lmao same here. I loved it.
@@ninjabreadgirl I need some ginger bread in my life, unfortunately the baker closed down 😂
Me: Yes! Robert please tell everyone else how irrational they are. Robert: YOU are irrational and do not properly understand reality. Me: I am irrational and do not properly understand reality.
Thank you so much for these videos. The world need you Robert Greene. Please stay healthy. And I personally don’t mind your videos being one hour long. Can’t wait for the next one.
When you read that book and watch his videos on YT, everything is just tied together. I cant help but just thank this man😊
The GOAT has descended from the skies once again to drop FACTS, this bouta be a lit ass hour
Lol, fantastic comment.
It was so lit
Greatest of all time G.O.A.T
Peace I enjoyed the video, looking forward to watching your up & coming videos.
Keep 'em coming RG. We'd love to see more content from you! I love the idea of looking at reality from the perspective of concentric circles - with the first circle representing you and your world (conscious/unconscious divide), and the wider circles going outside of you. It's a great way of understanding not only your limits of knowledge, but in which circle you're struggling with any given issue. For example, if you are struggling with your spouse, that would be the second circle. You can then act appropriately (i.e. rationally) according to what limits of knowledge you experience. You can use empathy (Law 2). Great video!
Robert, not only do we share the same name but mindset, too. Thanks a lot for a wonderful recapitulation of the most important insights you have collected in this life. It’s a great honor to listen to a savant like you who’s also kind and thoughtful enough to share his wisdom. May God bless you!
I can't Remember the Last time I clicked so Fast on a video.
💯💯💯
Same here. You always listen to experts.
Absolutely Lungelo Phakathi, the same thing happened to me. And what a joy to have such a Maestro helping us to make sense of what is happening now.
@@luzmphipps4203 indeed he gives us information we should be paying for
not to be cynical but that's KZhead's AI technology at work... it knows what you love - even more than you do
Nursing for 40 yrs we had new virus every year this has happened since 1918 and built anti bodies to that We do not give vaccines either especially the elderly or even vulnerable people of all ages.We have weaknesses.
What a thoughtful, balanced, and rational way of thinking. Thank you Robert.
Praying for your Good Health Sir Robert Greene
Your brilliant mind is a gift for the world! I'll strive to become rational although it's really hard. Whenever I see your new video, I'm excited to gain new insight. Thank you, Robert. Please keep it coming!
After every text or book from Robert feel an accurate sense of awareness of things that I did not know
i read robert's book (Mastery) when i was 19, and it really changed my life and my work ethic too and then i read some other books. all of them are perfectt, now i feel like i want to study more deeply from all of his books. it really help me to live my life with his perspectives. thank you Robert!
You're a legend Robert! I've been reading your work for years. Thank you for all that you've done and continue to do.
I absolutely love the methaphor of the horse rider. After being insecure basically my entire life I am finally being able to understand my feelings and cope with them in a rational way. I just started reading The Laws Of Human Nature and after it I will follow with more of your work!
Robert your Left sided use seems to be coming back quite well. I hope the rehab is going well
Such a wonderful spirit to be sharing the planet with. Just found you Mr. Greene whilst journeying down the rabbit hole called KZhead. Just when I sooooo needed your messages, you appeared. Just bought 4 of your books today and looking forward to them with all my heart. Sending many regards of gratitude to you. Thank you. 🙏
That was just excellent! Thank you for being a sane voice in an insane time!!
Who needs church when you have Robert Greene
Who still goes to church ?
Fearless The delusional.
TheHouseOntheHill The church can offer faith and hope for many of people who don’t do it themselves.
Vive la France! Vive Napoleon!
The church of power is in session and Robert Greene is our Pope
I hope you know this channel can be a base of power for you. We will follow you into action when you call.
Stay healthy Robert! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Robert Greene for your wisdom. Love from South Africa.
I love this! My current job is getting me so miserable since the head chef doesn't know how to take the time and talk to his crew and always blames everyone else for everything 😟 He creates these lavish new menus every couple weeks and then loses his shit at the cooks for not knowing how the plating is the first night a new menu is rolled and he hasn't even shown anybody how it's plated.......... it's frustrating... lol.. I already am looking for another gig to hold me closee until this covid thing blows over and I feel safe opening my own takeout joint .. I thought about calling a meeting and telling the poor chef that his whole crew thinks he sucks at communicating but I think he'll go mad so I'm gonna leave llol.
Yeah sounds like he is a good cook but bad boss, to be a good leader is a whole different talent
Man ya making me hungry now
Best author😁😆😇
Thank you Robert for taking the time to make these videos. I await your next offering with baited breath! The world needs your wisdom now more than ever. Cheers from Australia xoxo
i need an entire Robert Greene box set to have on repeat! - really helpful material, thank you Robert!
I seldom read, but I know I should, and why not start with some Robert Greene books, at the tender age of 37.. it's about time - any recommendations?!
People like him should be hired as advisors to heads of nations. A modern day Sun Tzu.
He does consult to leaders.. but also unfortunately 'Hollywood' typr stars
@@benjaminwalkley4761 he lost a lot of credibility because of the collaboration with rapper 50 cent. The book they brought out remains a blemish on Rob's bibliography. But the latest book is again a great treatise on human psychology.
I see Robert, I click irrationally as simple as that.
*whirr click*
Ooh you're so irrational 😂
Such an incredible human being
Robert I’m a huge fan and will read/listen to you and your books over and over again. Please continue to make videos, you are beloved and a true voice of reason! Thank you for all that you do, you inspire us all! Also, it may benefit your left arm to Armwrestle, I feel it may speed up your recovery. Wishing you all the best!
