Please consider looking at the life of Jesus and all he said and did in the books Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in the Bible. To me He is actually the ideal man, not just theologically, but actually. Jesus is really a real man in the sense that he led, taught, inspired, gave without expecting things back and modeled kindness without being a wimp or a coward, yet forgave and led people to freedom - and most importantly, He laid down His life for people. He is the long awaited Hero, the real one that all things and stories point to. A read of the Bible reveals the Jesus, truly, is what true masculinity actually looks like. He is obviously God, but He also a true man. May God bless you.

1. Define icon/ideal of masculinity For example, Gary Cooper - Soft spoken, didn’t talk a lot, not aggressive or pushy, knew who he was, knew what he wanted, knew what was right and wrong and stood for it, didn’t assert himself, but when pushed extremely strong inside, balanced = have a sense of control of who you are - True inner strength is quiet and calm - Having extreme quality like bragging how great they are is a sign of insecurity - Don’t talk more than necessary - Let action do the talking (Your achievement) - True strength is able to take criticism 2. True masculinity has respect for women - don’t feel need to insult or push them around (Chivalrous attitude toward women) - Inner security/ confidence seductive and attractive - Ranging and panicking and yelling and angry show weakness - Sign of success is not just making a lot of money but also longevity - To become master of what you are doing - Do not have to go and grab things to prove you self, it will all come to you if you have the inner strength

"If action speaks louder than words then may I deafen you," is how I sum up this type of attitude. Robert is sharing fundamental principles that are the bedrock of success. This is how you truly build a legacy.
Love this! I think with Greene having grown up in an age lacking social media, helped him be the individual he is today. Everything feels superficial nowadays and the toughest part of it it being deemed at outsider if you refuse to be a part of it. Stay strong kings.
That's such a great eye opener, Thank you so much Robert for uploading this **Life Changing** video, that is , in true sense is a life changer for those who understand it, and the positive impact it provide to those who truly understand this is amazingly so infinite that it's hard to give quantify I commit to implement the following in my life from today 1.

I own and have read all your books. I've watched all your videos and interviews etc. You have helped me in an unbelievable way. Long live Robert Greene!
I love you, Mr. Robert Greene :D - I was binging your interviews and podcasts yesterday and I was so relieved that your wife saved your life that day. I am so happy that you are with us today. I am tearing up as I write this. I am grateful to her as we all are, I am sure. I am reading Art of Seduction thoroughly jotting down my notes on the margins of the pages. Thank you so much for this video as there is too much noise regarding men's self-improvement. As a woman, I root for men and the fact you are seeing that young men my age (I am 1995 borne) feel directionless and are addressing it speaks volumes. Your voice in this space will bring some real sense of calm, strength and guidance to a lot of young men (and to young women like me). Please continue with your message as the role of the Patriarch is sorely lacking in our society and you are one of the few trusted figures who can occupy that position.
This is quality advice this gentleman is giving for free, thank you. And, if I may add, as a mom to a 30 yr/old son who has struggled in this current world and as a woman who has surrounded herself with smart, caring, capable men through life long friendships and in marriage, if you want to know how to be a good partner and what a successful man does in a relationship, find a hella old couple in your life and ask the man what he does, who he is, how he succeeded. Find you an old man who is still making his bride fall in love every day. Signed, 26 years married and still getting love notes every single morning from my adored husband.-- I am glad I found this channel and I am glad young men will get a chance to hear good advice instead of toxic, mean nonsense.
Much love Mr. Greene. I arrived in the West 5 years ago at 15, coming from an Eastern-European background. I never had a problem with not having a father growing up, but the last years have challenged me to discover the man I want and need to become for my clan and me. I want to extend a heartfelt thanks for the content you put out.
You’re saying things that need to be said. Thank you! I’m a 20 year old man in a screwed up world where men are not men. Doing my best to be a man every day. Thank you thank you!
I read a book called Models by Mark Manson. In this book, he firstly discusses a similar idea that "we lack a clear model of what an attractive man is" and then provides a similar approach, which requires knowing who you are, facing your weaknesses without being afraid to show them, and so on.
All of the things you mention Robert Greene were things I was naturally doing when I was in my early childhood, but then I hit my teens and these ideals were lost. I am now 21 and I am glad I found this video to remind me that of basic things like having an almost role model is important, being humble and respectful to others around you. A simple message which gets lost in the noise sometimes.
100 % agreed. How to get there instead, seems to be the true challenge. "No man is an island" goes the saying; helping others without expecting anything in return, is the way to get there in my understanding.
Robert, this came at a great time, I’m just turning 18 and I’m the transitioning phase, words cannot describe the impact you’ve had on my life, my upmost sincere gratitude, Harbin
Im in deep waters, health issues etc, but your advices, wisdom, knowledge, life exprience have helped me to realizing/understand how some things truly work, thank you for everything. 💪🏽👍🏽 I hope/wish for you happy, joyful, healthy life. 👍🏽 (:
I heard once in a verse in Proverbs that “wisdom is shown to be true by those that live it.” I feel as if everything he described are things we know are right, but we rebel against them because society says it’s cool. Robert, your advice is something I think my grandfather would tell me, too. Thank you so much for reminding us to treat people the way we know we should.
I'm 42 years old, my net asset position is nowhere near what it should be. I have Multiple failed relationships and never really had a career. Still found this video uplifting.
Thank you for all your hard work Mr. Robert 🙏 1 random book you wrote has much more value than all the crap I was told to read at school. The education system almost convinced me that reading is a waste of time... I wish you and your family all the best in life. You trully deserve it.
The purpose of the education system is to kill your curiosity, stifle your creativity, and turn you into a mindless worker bee who never questions the existing power structures. It made you dislike reading, which means the system did its job correctly. But you survived it. As a result, you are stronger.
This completely opened my eyes, because if you brag about a woman you got with, it pretty much screams that you dont think you can pull or keep a girl of that value. If you don't brag about the girl, you might just be confident, and believe that you deserve her-type thing
When I'm deeply engaged in chasing my dreams, my inner power goes through the roof - even with small progress. Exactly how Dr. Greene is explaining. Otherwise, I get pulled back into my shell of darkness, which is what I believe is the root of toxic masculinity.
I have great respect for you Mr. Robert Greene. I'm not sure why everything is so confusing these days, but I am grateful to have a guide like you in this world. Your books have helped me to become who I am.
This was very much needed. Thank you Robert Greene. The way I see it, the most truly masculine man is the man who never stops and questions his masculinity. Self-confidence is self-acceptance and self-knowledge. It really all comes from within. Nothing needs to change externally for most of us.
He’s so right about everything, as a women, for some reason it’s very easy to tell when a guy is trying to impress you; some guys overdo it, their dominance comes off as if they’re on edge, near a breakdown lol women love calm men, it feels safe. Huge difference between confidence and bragging
I agree 100% with this message, especially about sustaining and maintaining your power and wealth instead of being a one-hit wonder. As a Strategist in life, this is one of the most important aspects I can think of because it doesn't matter how much resources I have today if it can all be taken away from me tomorrow. Thus, to be proactive and make decisions yesterday to create a better tomorrow is an absolute must in life, as well as having a long-term plan in terms of your job and career. Trust me on this one because I've been in the rat race for over 20 years earlier, and I've always ended up with little to nothing. I'm 38 years old and I STILL don't own my own house, so that says it all. So no matter how many great job opportunities that are out there, they simply don't concern me unless they are both sustainable now, as well as in the future. That is the ONLY way to sustain what you have at all times. Also, saving and investing your money for the long-term to achieve financial freedom is also a must that everyone should take seriously. By combining these two approaches and strategies in life, you will be MUCH better off in the long-term than to just grab whatever is right in front of you. Also, don't EVER think about having kids unless you are 100% financially stable or you will mess up your life. I've seen this happen to people throughout my whole life and they end up stuck and literally have to say YES to everything and everyone to survive, letting go of all of their personal power, freedom, and dignitiy in the process. I promised myself all my life that I would NEVER end up like a sucker like that because like Robert Greene has pointed out in his own books, humans usually don't change their behavior unless they have to. Thus, humans also "don't care" unless they have to. It's not all that black and white of course but it is much of reality. So yes, be strategic in life, make good and smart long-term decisions, and never flaunt your wealth to anyone unless you want to stirr up more hate and envy than necessary. Because believe me, that will come your way regardless whether you like it or not. Best to keep a close inner circle of trust then.
NO DISRESPECT BUT YOU CANT CONTROL ALL OF YOUR LIFE. AT SOME POINT YOU HAVE TO LET GO AND LET GOD. YOU SAID YOUR 38 AND YOU DONT OWN YOUR HOME, KEEP LIVING IT WILL HAPPEN. GOD BLESS YOU.
You still have life and your only 38, my man you have another 40 years on earth if all goes well! So owning a home is still possible if that’s your life goal just saying.
I'm not a young man anymore, but I agree with what you advised . I actually took your recommendation to watch High Noon as I had heard of it and was curious about it. Excellent movie! Gary Cooper is a great example of masculinity and a gentleman. Not easy not to defend yourself when being opposed and challenged, but definitely a virtuous character trait to aspire to. And it works.
Thank you Mr. Robert Greene, you basically helped me understand what a true masculinity is. We live in the world where everything is going backwards and there is small numbers of role models and mentors that are useful. This is what I need to go through in life. Again thank you Mr. Greene.
Thank you very much for finding an opportunity to share you wisdom with us, Robert. I wish all the best to you and your close ones. You change lives of young (and not only) men.
As a woman, I love everything expressed / taught in this video. I will also say, he is correct about how & what women respond to in terms of a man’s character. ❤ I wish these lessons/teachings were taught in K - 12.
I read your Mastery and choose a career on my personal inclination. I quit my general study of theoretical physics and became a graphic and motion designer. Each and every word you said is true...Thank You Robert, I owe you.
I was actually searching for answers related to current situation which I am going through. This is the positive guidance I needed right now. Thanks for being such a nice person and sharing these ideals with us.
Knowing who you are gives you joy from within and When you realize how superficial our social societies are and the impermanency of our existence,so the power is to stay anchored and centered at the core of our Beings.
I've always been a follower of Greene's work, but this here is the video that got me to subscribe. Pure truth and so well communicated. Thank you Robert.
Thank you Robert for the timeless words of wisdom. Please, I'll want you to talk extensively on self analysis; how to analyze oneself and the things to look out for and how to track one self to know who/what one really is.
I wholeheartedly agree. That's like my entire philosophical view on what I call grace, grit, and gratitude, all in one nutshell. I also call it self-assurance and acceptable behavior which accommodates my attitude about my sense of agency and applies my aptitude to accentuate my sense of autonomy. All added value- assured, an asset, and assertive.
Throughout this video Robert was describing my personality. This initially made me feel good but then concerned me because deep down I still feel like I could be better, do better and I feel as if I know nothing. If what Robert says is true then me being how I currently am will have all these wonders come to me but that just hasn't been the case so maybe Im not who I think I am. I wish I could uncover my deficits which would allow me to fully actualize my potential.
Thank you so much Mr Green you’ve helped me a lot at work! I work in a bank as a teller! I am a woman and I agree men need to have versions of masculinity they admire. I discovered you through Jordan Peterson and finishing 48 laws of power and I’m about to start the laws of human nature. Just wanted to express my thanks 🙏
Thank you Robert for this rare advice. The Real man never shows off. Always keep mastering your skill, stay calm, everything will come to you at the right time. Be patient
Thanks Robert greene for this amazing lesson you taught me. I never hear this stuff in my life only some i did but never understood properly but you did it to me. What i learnt for you that you need to focus on your goals and be soft spoken and respect women and not let anyone get into your head neither flex because your actions will do it itself. That helped me thank you. Have a good day
Thank you, Robert, for reminding this of the importance of inner strength, inner confidence, and a sense of deep purpose. I think this is something we are not reminded of enough when we are young.
Robert Greene will be the saviour of humanity. Such an intelligent man, there was a reason why God saved him from death. Hey Robert, may you have long life and great health. Amen
This is so true. When I look back at male characters that I've truly admired throughout my own childhood I see that they did believe in what they stood for, but they never tried to force others to believe in those things, too. Sadly I see myself try to prove my point to people and help them understand my beliefs, I've tried to stop doing it, but haven't been successful just yet. I remember my grandpa such a worthy gentleman;He was kind, he stood up for what he believed, however he never was harsh or angry with anybody, he was a war martyr in the Iran-Iraq war. Thank you for sharing this!
INNER STRENGTH, INNER POWER, CALM AND COMPOSED CONDUCT, AIMING TO STAY IN THE GAME FOR LONG. Abovementioned are the key words around which the video revolves, just in case someone quickly wants to get the gist of it. Thanks Mr. Greene!
Thanks Robert, I really needed these words at this point in my life. I have read all of your books and have been studying human nature & psychology on my own accord through life (21 now) I'd just like to say I truly honor & commend you and your work, for the wisdom you have given back to the world. You are a gift to us younger generations, trying to find hope in an ever growing hopeless society. I believe you will be spoken about for years to come. Very wise & articulate man. If you are reading this Robert, I wish you nothing but the greatest health, wealth & happiness for the future my friend.
dear robert greene I just want to thank you for all your great works and how your work has no specific target audience and can help everyone get better no matter what stage of life they are at. I am a 21 year old college student from Iran and the impact your works have had on my life so far have been very immense.

For example, Gary Cooper
- Soft spoken, didn’t talk a lot, not aggressive or pushy, knew who he was, knew what he wanted, knew what was right and wrong and stood for it, didn’t assert himself, but when pushed extremely strong inside, balanced
= have a sense of control of who you are
- True inner strength is quiet and calm
- Having extreme quality like bragging how great they are is a sign of insecurity
- Don’t talk more than necessary
- Let action do the talking (Your achievement)
- True strength is able to take criticism
2. True masculinity has respect for women
- don’t feel need to insult or push them around (Chivalrous attitude toward women)
- Inner security/ confidence seductive and attractive
- Ranging and panicking and yelling and angry show weakness
- Sign of success is not just making a lot of money but also longevity
- To become master of what you are doing
- Do not have to go and grab things to prove you self, it will all come to you if you have the inner strength

He is obviously God, but He also a true man. May God bless you.
Sounds very nice and meaningful. listen to it over and over again
"If action speaks louder than words then may I deafen you," is how I sum up this type of attitude. Robert is sharing fundamental principles that are the bedrock of success. This is how you truly build a legacy.
Love this! I think with Greene having grown up in an age lacking social media, helped him be the individual he is today. Everything feels superficial nowadays and the toughest part of it it being deemed at outsider if you refuse to be a part of it. Stay strong kings.
I wouldn't be at this point in my life without you, thank you so much for sharing your wisdom.
That's such a great eye opener, Thank you so much Robert for uploading this **Life Changing** video, that is , in true sense is a life changer for those who understand it, and the positive impact it provide to those who truly understand this is amazingly so infinite that it's hard to give quantify

I own and have read all your books. I've watched all your videos and interviews etc. You have helped me in an unbelievable way. Long live Robert Greene!
What was your favourite book of his?

I think about this quote a lot: "Do what is right, not what is easy nor what is popular." -Roy T. Bennett
I love you, Mr. Robert Greene :D - I was binging your interviews and podcasts yesterday and I was so relieved that your wife saved your life that day. I am so happy that you are with us today. I am tearing up as I write this. I am grateful to her as we all are, I am sure. I am reading Art of Seduction thoroughly jotting down my notes on the margins of the pages. Thank you so much for this video as there is too much noise regarding men's self-improvement. As a woman, I root for men and the fact you are seeing that young men my age (I am 1995 borne) feel directionless and are addressing it speaks volumes. Your voice in this space will bring some real sense of calm, strength and guidance to a lot of young men (and to young women like me). Please continue with your message as the role of the Patriarch is sorely lacking in our society and you are one of the few trusted figures who can occupy that position.
I mist his podcast, his wife saving his ife.
This is quality advice this gentleman is giving for free, thank you. And, if I may add, as a mom to a 30 yr/old son who has struggled in this current world and as a woman who has surrounded herself with smart, caring, capable men through life long friendships and in marriage, if you want to know how to be a good partner and what a successful man does in a relationship, find a hella old couple in your life and ask the man what he does, who he is, how he succeeded. Find you an old man who is still making his bride fall in love every day. Signed, 26 years married and still getting love notes every single morning from my adored husband.-- I am glad I found this channel and I am glad young men will get a chance to hear good advice instead of toxic, mean nonsense.

@@Eternal.Stoics what program do you use about images and sound and all
Hm you had your son out of wedlock? Shame
Every young man / teenager should listen to this
Powerful! When you are all angry and yelling, take a step back and tell yourself, "I am being weak".
Much love Mr. Greene.
I arrived in the West 5 years ago at 15, coming from an Eastern-European background. I never had a problem with not having a father growing up, but the last years have challenged me to discover the man I want and need to become for my clan and me.
I want to extend a heartfelt thanks for the content you put out.
Robert is one of the top wisest of our generation. I have all his books. My favourite is 33 Strategies of War.
You’re saying things that need to be said. Thank you! I’m a 20 year old man in a screwed up world where men are not men. Doing my best to be a man every day. Thank you thank you!
You are not alone warrior
Keep up!
dont just be a man, be a business man young lad man's life is cheap.
I read a book called Models by Mark Manson. In this book, he firstly discusses a similar idea that "we lack a clear model of what an attractive man is" and then provides a similar approach, which requires knowing who you are, facing your weaknesses without being afraid to show them, and so on.
All of the things you mention Robert Greene were things I was naturally doing when I was in my early childhood, but then I hit my teens and these ideals were lost. I am now 21 and I am glad I found this video to remind me that of basic things like having an almost role model is important, being humble and respectful to others around you. A simple message which gets lost in the noise sometimes.
100 % agreed. How to get there instead, seems to be the true challenge. "No man is an island" goes the saying; helping others without expecting anything in return, is the way to get there in my understanding.
appreciate it Robert. Needed this. I turned 21 yesterday
And for the young of heart! Thank you for the reminder.
Robert, this came at a great time, I’m just turning 18 and I’m the transitioning phase, words cannot describe the impact you’ve had on my life, my upmost sincere gratitude,
Harbin
You’re so fortunate to know this at such a young age… some never do. These are great tools to have for your entire life.
I turn 18 in a month no pressure...😅
Haha I turned 18 today.
@@KelyanzHappy belated birthday!
thank you
Im in deep waters, health issues etc, but your advices, wisdom, knowledge, life exprience have helped me to realizing/understand how some things truly work, thank you for everything. 💪🏽👍🏽 I hope/wish for you happy, joyful, healthy life. 👍🏽 (:
I heard once in a verse in Proverbs that “wisdom is shown to be true by those that live it.”
I feel as if everything he described are things we know are right, but we rebel against them because society says it’s cool.
Robert, your advice is something I think my grandfather would tell me, too. Thank you so much for reminding us to treat people the way we know we should.
Good shit rob🤝💐
Wassup Steve😂🤝
Lmao
One author and his words can change lives. Thank you, Robert, as a young man I need this kind of guidance.
Thank you for watching.
I'm 42 years old, my net asset position is nowhere near what it should be. I have Multiple failed relationships and never really had a career. Still found this video uplifting.
Thank you for all your hard work Mr. Robert 🙏
1 random book you wrote has much more value than all the crap I was told to read at school.
The education system almost convinced me that reading is a waste of time...
I wish you and your family all the best in life. You trully deserve it.
The purpose of the education system is to kill your curiosity, stifle your creativity, and turn you into a mindless worker bee who never questions the existing power structures. It made you dislike reading, which means the system did its job correctly. But you survived it. As a result, you are stronger.
*Random* ?
Be a gentle man , be a master , be a helper !
Merry Christmas bro!
Too much title 😂
Master what? 😅
You are my ideal person. I truly admire you. Your books have been a life saver for me, I recommend them to everyone. Thank you.
You made me cry, Mr. Greene... Thank you very much for such beautiful reflection.
You're my favorite author for a reason, thank you Robert 🙏
:53 Jocko Willink immediately came to mind. Great advice throughout the entire video Robert
I'm 76 years old. When I was a kid my Dad told me about Clark Gable. He said,"women love him, and men love him too." Thanks Dad, I get it.
I love this, real man is respectful. 😊
This completely opened my eyes, because if you brag about a woman you got with, it pretty much screams that you dont think you can pull or keep a girl of that value. If you don't brag about the girl, you might just be confident, and believe that you deserve her-type thing
When I'm deeply engaged in chasing my dreams, my inner power goes through the roof - even with small progress. Exactly how Dr. Greene is explaining. Otherwise, I get pulled back into my shell of darkness, which is what I believe is the root of toxic masculinity.
The best advice that I ever heard.Thank you 💝
Robert, you have truly changed my life for the better over the past couple of years because of your work and advise. Thank you so much
I have great respect for you Mr. Robert Greene. I'm not sure why everything is so confusing these days, but I am grateful to have a guide like you in this world. Your books have helped me to become who I am.
This was very much needed. Thank you Robert Greene. The way I see it, the most truly masculine man is the man who never stops and questions his masculinity. Self-confidence is self-acceptance and self-knowledge. It really all comes from within. Nothing needs to change externally for most of us.
You're absolutely right! I am repulsed by men who show off and brag.
In the darkest times, hope is something you give yourself. That is the meaning of inner strength
Absolutely correct and vital to remember in today's age.
I was actually expecting you to make a video like this and was wonder when you would. Thank you Mr. Greene. 🙏🏽
He’s so right about everything, as a women, for some reason it’s very easy to tell when a guy is trying to impress you; some guys overdo it, their dominance comes off as if they’re on edge, near a breakdown lol women love calm men, it feels safe. Huge difference between confidence and bragging
I've learned from this man to never say I'm sorry... Say thank you for being patient and it's amazing I get excused for everything
He is the kind of mentor that we need.
I agree 100% with this message, especially about sustaining and maintaining your power and wealth instead of being a one-hit wonder. As a Strategist in life, this is one of the most important aspects I can think of because it doesn't matter how much resources I have today if it can all be taken away from me tomorrow.
Thus, to be proactive and make decisions yesterday to create a better tomorrow is an absolute must in life, as well as having a long-term plan in terms of your job and career. Trust me on this one because I've been in the rat race for over 20 years earlier, and I've always ended up with little to nothing. I'm 38 years old and I STILL don't own my own house, so that says it all.
So no matter how many great job opportunities that are out there, they simply don't concern me unless they are both sustainable now, as well as in the future. That is the ONLY way to sustain what you have at all times. Also, saving and investing your money for the long-term to achieve financial freedom is also a must that everyone should take seriously.
By combining these two approaches and strategies in life, you will be MUCH better off in the long-term than to just grab whatever is right in front of you. Also, don't EVER think about having kids unless you are 100% financially stable or you will mess up your life. I've seen this happen to people throughout my whole life and they end up stuck and literally have to say YES to everything and everyone to survive, letting go of all of their personal power, freedom, and dignitiy in the process.
I promised myself all my life that I would NEVER end up like a sucker like that because like Robert Greene has pointed out in his own books, humans usually don't change their behavior unless they have to. Thus, humans also "don't care" unless they have to. It's not all that black and white of course but it is much of reality.
So yes, be strategic in life, make good and smart long-term decisions, and never flaunt your wealth to anyone unless you want to stirr up more hate and envy than necessary. Because believe me, that will come your way regardless whether you like it or not. Best to keep a close inner circle of trust then.
NO DISRESPECT BUT YOU CANT CONTROL ALL OF YOUR LIFE. AT SOME POINT YOU HAVE TO LET GO AND LET GOD. YOU SAID YOUR 38 AND YOU DONT OWN YOUR HOME, KEEP LIVING IT WILL HAPPEN. GOD BLESS YOU.
You still have life and your only 38, my man you have another 40 years on earth if all goes well! So owning a home is still possible if that’s your life goal just saying.
I'm not a young man anymore, but I agree with what you advised . I actually took your recommendation to watch High Noon as I had heard of it and was curious about it. Excellent movie! Gary Cooper is a great example of masculinity and a gentleman. Not easy not to defend yourself when being opposed and challenged, but definitely a virtuous character trait to aspire to. And it works.
whatever happened to Gary Cooper?
@@sriig the strong silent type
Sounds very nice and meaningful. listen to it over and over again
He just roasted Andrew Tate so hard. Tate literally is the opposite of everything that you explained and I fully agree with you
Tate is doing it on purpose to gain power,Law #6:Court Attention At All Cost
Thank you Mr. Robert Greene, you basically helped me understand what a true masculinity is. We live in the world where everything is going backwards and there is small numbers of role models and mentors that are useful. This is what I need to go through in life. Again thank you Mr. Greene.
You covered so many important points in so little time. You're also such a charismatic speaker. Amazing.
Thank you very much for finding an opportunity to share you wisdom with us, Robert. I wish all the best to you and your close ones. You change lives of young (and not only) men.
As a woman, I love everything expressed / taught in this video. I will also say, he is correct about how & what women respond to in terms of a man’s character. ❤ I wish these lessons/teachings were taught in K - 12.
Same
Robert... thank you, as ever. It makes a difference to young men to have strong role models who are speaking sense in simple, accessible terms.
This is relief for those who haven’t any real drive. Life is about the fight, the hunger, the fire.
I read your Mastery and choose a career on my personal inclination. I quit my general study of theoretical physics and became a graphic and motion designer. Each and every word you said is true...Thank You Robert, I owe you.
A fresh (and wise) voice on the subject. Thank you!!
I was actually searching for answers related to current situation which I am going through. This is the positive guidance I needed right now. Thanks for being such a nice person and sharing these ideals with us.
Knowing who you are gives you joy from within and When you realize how superficial our social societies are and the impermanency of our existence,so the power is to stay anchored and centered at the core of our Beings.
This is truely gem 🌟🌟
I've always been a follower of Greene's work, but this here is the video that got me to subscribe. Pure truth and so well communicated. Thank you Robert.
Once again, thank you Robert. Thank you for everything you’ve done and decide to teach us
This message is very powerful but most people can’t understand what Robert is saying 🔥
Thank you Robert for the timeless words of wisdom. Please, I'll want you to talk extensively on self analysis; how to analyze oneself and the things to look out for and how to track one self to know who/what one really is.
It is good to not attack people but it is also important to tell people when they wrong and why they are wrong.
I wholeheartedly agree. That's like my entire philosophical view on what I call grace, grit, and gratitude, all in one nutshell. I also call it self-assurance and acceptable behavior which accommodates my attitude about my sense of agency and applies my aptitude to accentuate my sense of autonomy. All added value- assured, an asset, and assertive.
Throughout this video Robert was describing my personality. This initially made me feel good but then concerned me because deep down I still feel like I could be better, do better and I feel as if I know nothing. If what Robert says is true then me being how I currently am will have all these wonders come to me but that just hasn't been the case so maybe Im not who I think I am. I wish I could uncover my deficits which would allow me to fully actualize my potential.
I can't take any comment by someone with a Sam Hyde pfp seriously
Thank you so much Mr Green you’ve helped me a lot at work! I work in a bank as a teller! I am a woman and I agree men need to have versions of masculinity they admire. I discovered you through Jordan Peterson and finishing 48 laws of power and I’m about to start the laws of human nature. Just wanted to express my thanks 🙏
Thank you for your work, sir. It is much appreciated.
Thank you Robert for this rare advice. The Real man never shows off. Always keep mastering your skill, stay calm, everything will come to you at the right time. Be patient
Thanks Robert greene for this amazing lesson you taught me. I never hear this stuff in my life only some i did but never understood properly but you did it to me. What i learnt for you that you need to focus on your goals and be soft spoken and respect women and not let anyone get into your head neither flex because your actions will do it itself. That helped me thank you. Have a good day
Thank you, Robert, for reminding this of the importance of inner strength, inner confidence, and a sense of deep purpose. I think this is something we are not reminded of enough when we are young.
Robert Greene will be the saviour of humanity. Such an intelligent man, there was a reason why God saved him from death. Hey Robert, may you have long life and great health. Amen
Thank you Robert. That was exactly what I needed to hear 🙏♥️
Thank you for everything Mr.Robert🙏🏽 you’re one of the ones that changed my life
This is also great advice for women in accessing & and expressing their masculine side
This is so true. When I look back at male characters that I've truly admired throughout my own childhood I see that they did believe in what they stood for, but they never tried to force others to believe in those things, too.
Sadly I see myself try to prove my point to people and help them understand my beliefs, I've tried to stop doing it, but haven't been successful just yet.
I remember my grandpa such a worthy gentleman;He was kind, he stood up for what he believed, however he never was harsh or angry with anybody, he was a war martyr in the Iran-Iraq war.
Thank you for sharing this!
INNER STRENGTH, INNER POWER, CALM AND COMPOSED CONDUCT, AIMING TO STAY IN THE GAME FOR LONG.
Abovementioned are the key words around which the video revolves, just in case someone quickly wants to get the gist of it.
Thanks Mr. Greene!
Thanks Robert, I really needed these words at this point in my life. I have read all of your books and have been studying human nature & psychology on my own accord through life (21 now)
I'd just like to say I truly honor & commend you and your work, for the wisdom you have given back to the world. You are a gift to us younger generations, trying to find hope in an ever growing hopeless society.
I believe you will be spoken about for years to come. Very wise & articulate man. If you are reading this Robert, I wish you nothing but the greatest health, wealth & happiness for the future my friend.
I am 20. And I am learning from your books and videos. Thank you, Mr. Robert
Bob is doing God’s work out there.
how fortunate we are to live in a time we can have your mentorship
So much wisdom! Thank you 🙏🏼
dear robert greene I just want to thank you for all your great works and how your work has no specific target audience and can help everyone get better no matter what stage of life they are at.

I hope that you are always well and that the world gets to see more of your great works.
