  • Strategy is an art that requires not only a different way of thinking but an entirely different approach to life itself. Transform yourself into a strategic warrior in your daily life.
    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, Mastery, The Laws of Human Nature, and most recently, The Daily Laws.

    key points:
    -Being strategic is a way to have power and control in life.
    -To be a strategist, you need to change how you look at the world and think about Power, Seduction, and Strategy.
    -Most people live in Tactical Hell because they continually react emotionally to what people say and do.
    -To get out of Tactical Hell, you need to enter Strategic Heaven by altering how you look at things and responding rationally instead of emotionally.
    -Being a strategist in life means considering other ways to respond to somebody's behavior and creating options instead of just reacting. It is a way to have power and control in business and any other setting.

The term 'strategy' is so overused and seems to mean whatever the user wants it to mean at the moment ... and nothing in general ... which is very unsatisfying if you're trying to understand what 'strategy' (the man-made construct) actually IS.

      It's an odd one. It feels like you would start to get into a situation of paranoia, or at least neuroticism wondering about peoples motivations all the time. I have extreme (and I mean extreme) low levels of neuroticism on any tests I've done. This does mean I'm probably not thinking strategically enough but I don't want to get into a habit of being some kind of Machiavellian character always scheming and assuming other people are scheming against me and countering those moves. Sounds exhausting and dumb tbh.

    Thank you Mr. Greene. Just an hour ago my brother came back from work and instantly started "jokingly" insulting my weight while I was happily eating cookies ( I'm a woman). Instead of reacting or defending myself, I looked him in the eyes and calmly pointed out he must be miserable right now that's why he's soft-bullying me. He's been doing this for the past few weeks consistently and I've realized it's because he's not happy at work. Hence, him trying to evoke strong reactions in order to gain sense of power.
    For the past year, I've been reading your books consistently and they guided me to process people's intentions much more accurately. I now see the hurt behind aggressive masks. This video was a confirmation to what happened. Lol if he doesn't stop, I might have to give him a taste of his own medicine sooner or later 😇.
    These "wars" happen on small scales too!

    @paulroyal2177 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    "Taking a step back" and seeing "the big picture" can aid in thinking your own strategies, I agree. But I add: 1) It is important to distinguish between A) immediate battlefield tactics and B) over-arching war strategy. The strategy of the entire war defines the prefered victory conditions, after many battles. The tactics include the chosen actions at each battle. 2) Also, it would be prudent for Robert Greene to point out that if you are just reacting, your “opponent” may already have a hidden strategy (or always have a hidden strategy if they are lying). And you can figure this strategy out so you can play on equal footing. 3) It is a Game Theory secret to know that BEFORE you begin negotiations, you can change the stakes and the rules. Meaning, you don't have to wait to see “what's on the table” to begin playing. You can stop the game and change what's on the table before you play and risk something. Your actions for adding and subtracting what's on the table changes your current leveraging values.

    Thanks Robert, right on. When upset about something i say this phrase to myself "I have no opinion about this matter" . It applies to all things, i dont have to search. It instantly releases me - just like Robert said, I never realized how much of our day and time is spent being judge and jury about absolutely everything, things i actually dont even care about. it was exhausting. I use it multiple times a day (in my head of course) regarding my partners habits, and it lets me roll right through without getting upset, the habits even become endearing:)

I have really bad trust issues from past relationships so I do realize that this is an issue with me because my husband hasn’t necessarily gave me a reason not to trust him. Is still very had to trust and the moment something doesn’t seem consistent I’m already panicking but keep it to myself but I also do start to be very short with him when talking to him. Like I said I’ve been getting better but there’s still so much work to do. I just hope that there is hope for me because is running my life!

    Yes. I was the worst student in my negotiations class and made a ton of effort to get better, only to realize towards the end of the class I “won” every negotiation but no one wants to partner with me. Strategy is taking the future consequences into consideration, to realize there’s rarely a absolute win/lose in life.

      @gfd5606 I'd say good 'strategy' includes consideration of future consequences, but that inclusion just makes for good 'decision making'. 'Future consideration' is not unique to 'strategy'. C'mon, can nobody define the word "strategy" in a meaningful way that is beyond 'decision making' and is not circular? I've asked Robert Greene, but he doesn't respond, so I assume he can't.
