Reading is like thinking with another person’s head
Nice
Great analogy
Great!
Facts
True 🙂
the book that makes me the most disciplined is "Unleashing discipline". It shares secrets about discipline even ancient egyptians and illuminati used to stay disciplined. I dont understand why its not so popular because its awesome and it goes straight to the point about that topic. I cant say how much thankful to the author. Unfortunately we dont know the author. I have only best things to say about this book.
bro are you sure about the title i can't find the book, can you share a link or something?
Same here@@panchetospaligumi6603

Great books and great choices.
Thank you for your work, clarity, art and for sharing your knowledge with us. You’ve helped many lives with your advices. And that’s power right there. All the best to you dear Robert.
Thanks.
Thank you so much.
Wow, someone else who has read Journey to Ixtlan
@@garethmorris6314 you´re welcome :)
@@NjabuloHadebe you´re welcome :)
I've just gone through 'Wealth's Loyal Companion: The Uncharted Path to Prosperity' and it's truly inspirational. This isn't just about financial advice; it's a guide to building a richer life overall. The personal success stories and practical tips are incredibly motivating. It sheds light on how discipline and ongoing learning can lead to real success. Definitely worth reading for those seeking a more fulfilling life journey!
which book you talk about ?
I'm too old to worry about a wealth book now.Maybe forty years ago it might have helped...
@@jamesjazzy8040hella excuses. Pandaexpress started by a couple at 35 & they’re now billionaires. The worst thing to do is stop yourself from moving forward with your own limiting beliefs, instead - play to your advantages. I assume you’re in your 50s and you have a lot of experience in a certain work field?
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
It took me 3 years to stop trying to predict what's about to happen in the market based on charts studying because you never know. Please, i need the help of your Investment advisor.
*ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER* is my portfolio-coach, I found her on Bloomberg where she was featured, I looked up her name on the internet. Fortunately I came across her site and reached out to her, you can verify her yourself.
God bless you for sharing!
@@lailaalfaddil7389how much did she help you?
@@erko78 10% is our bargain, but i suppose it all depends whats involved
"Man's Search for Meaning" by Frankl is the single book that influenced my thinking over all others
Imo is a coaching book.
Great book..
I Second that. defensive versus offensive strategy
I think it’s overrated. That being said, his journey of writing the book while in the camps and getting it confiscated and memorizing it and rewriting it over and over was very impressive - a testament to the will that can express itself through us.
We have seen so much of holocaust movies that it seems and make you feel just like another movie. Still the concept of Logotheraphy is just awesome and praiseworthy.
This is financial advice and I never give financial advice: DONT LEAVE DURING THE BEAR. If you don’t want to invest…learn. If you don’t want to learn…build. If you don’t want to build observe. DO SOMETHING…other than leave. There is so much opportunity here. Take advantage!
Just because there are opportunities in the market doesn’t mean you should go in blindly. To understand the potential factors that contribute to your financial growth, I'll advise you to seek the help of a professional.

@@amenop6083most likely a bot promoting a crappy book using ambiguity as the selling point. I found it, it’s not free.
They are paid , i cannot afford it
One of the books that really made my mind more introspective definitely is The Laws of Human Nature. I cannot thank Robert Greene enough about it. It helped me see the narcissism in me and helped me get out of an abusive marriage.
I am currently reading that and it is fascinating
The Laws of Human Nature is a powerful blow to the self image of anyone who has a hint of openness. Unless you read it thinking it only applies to other people, which would make you a potent narcisist, by the end you should be taking a long, painful stare into the mirror. Great stuff.
Who was doing the abusing?
(Please forgive my sense of humor)
@@marjan992 Robert, the guy in the video.
Yes. It changed so much for me mentally.
If you ever listen to anything while reading comments, let it be this - go read the book 25 money secrets from Donald Trump, then come back and thank me

1. Mastery by Robert Greene (this should be mandatory reading in 6th grade all around the world)
2. Dune by Frank Herbert (the most quotable fiction book I've ever read, this book doesn't simply entertain, it teaches about life and society)
3. Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk (thought provoking book about the inner workings of someone who is for all intents and purposes a prisoner of his own life)

3. Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk ( a thought provoking book about the inner working of some one who is for all intents and purposes a prisoner of their own life)
There is a line in one of the Dune books which says, more or less, that the bureaucrat that controls the permit you need controls your life. And folks wonder why, the more they demand from government, the more that government grows and they less control they have over their life.
@@izm4life why did you just copy their comment and repost under their thread?
Lol
@@terrycrews1760 it helps for some one who don’t want to listen but want to know the content. I always browse comments if some one had summarized. I some time save snapshot and save it in my notes.
The 48 Laws of Power changed my life forever. What an amazing book!
yes, me too!
How change?
@@lawxs9114 it helped me understand, myself, other people, human nature and how society operates. To me it's a book you don't just read, you study it.
@@distilledsanity4830 but you still poor?
@@distilledsanity4830 yes its a study, we’ll said 🤔
Robert Greene, you are one of the best living writers and thinkers of our time. Thank you for your work :)
And a good person,he wants to help us ☺️
And one of the best living hearts! !
Jordan Peterson as well
@@aperezto Not even close by any stretch of the imagination ....
@@aperezto yup I agree
The actual three books that will change your life:
- Mastery
- The 48 Laws of Power
- The Art of Seduction
Who is the author of Mastery may i ask? Thanks in advance bruh
Robert Greene, all of them
So far this man has only published life changing books worth revisiting throughout your entire life.
@@andredelacerdasantos4439 which book you preferred?
Read 48 laws of power but look at most things he says as things to avoid, but also use towards narcissistic people if given no other option. I have mastery and the 50th law, never read@thelandsavior402
Flowers for Algernon touched my young heart so many years ago and still resonates with me.
Reading is not just enough". Take the action! Put your newfound knowledge to use. I read for a long time but Action made my life change in no time ( generally and mostly financially)
That's my two cents on this
I struggle to follow through, especially financially. I earn quite enough but hardly have a saving. Rent, bills, debt, expenses take it all away. It almost feels like I leave paycheck to paycheck
Live below your means, Adjust your lifestyle, be frugal in spending don't buy unnecessary stuff, Budget your spending and your debts, Save, Invest it's a better way to grow wealth, get a financial expert to help you.
Thanks
1 hear hiring a financial coach is quite expensive but I will have a look at it.
There's financial coaches out there to create value and not Just for the money they make. You can look out for them.
The moment you mentioned The Prince, owing to the level of attachment I feel towards you, I instantly found the book which has the most influence on me. I also love to write, to investigate, to learn about human nature. Thanks to Mastery, I know my primal inclinations so well. I meditate on the daily laws everyday. I keep revising the ideas from your books. Thank you Robert. You gave me the strength to navigate relationships and career.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. The Prince. The late James Dean said this book changed his life 1950’s
In high school, I was the only one to sign up for a class on John Stuart Mill or Henry David Thoreau...I don't recall which. What I will never forget is the teacher's offer to meet on Saturday mornings to read and discuss the book. What generosity! Thank you, Mr. Arkle; you changed my life.
You are his legacy.
sounds like an amazing and generous teacher
HOW? Details, or, at least a hint, please. (Unless, of course, you are writing a book about it.)
Would a teacher's union even allow that today, unless there was a private tutoring arrangement?

Dear Robert, thank you so much for making this series of videos. I've been seeing your videos come up and I'm saving them for a nice brunch session to properly watch and enjoy them.
I'm glad you mentioned Carlos Castaneda because it's been on my peripheral mind for a while now. I think the name came up a few times in some Aubrey Marcus podcast episodes as well and it piqued my interest. I think after you mentioning his work, it might be about time I delved into it as well.
I'm excited to finally watch your other videos very soon. Best wishes Robert! 🙏
"Power of the subconscious mind, Author Joseph Murphy", "Think and Grow Rich, Author Napoleon Hill", these two books helped me on this journey of self awareness, self understanding, self responsibility and accountability.
Power of the Subconscious Mind as well for me, along with Psychocybernetics. Didn't like Napoleon Hill's book much, lol. Got weird for me at the sexual energy part.
The 33 Strategies of War is my absolute favorite. It’s riddle with fascinating stories & how people overcome ‘impossible’ obstacles. Many of these lessons can be integrate into our daily lives. I read them in a slow pace to absorb the nature of each story. It’s too good to rush through. The Laws of Human Nature is another favorite. It goes well with having done shadow work for years. I love books that can be read over & over. They’re a refresher course and each time I read them I reached a profound truth and better understanding. I always get something about of these books. They’re PRICELESS. Thank you for your hard work and putting these incredible pieces of information together.
What's shadow work?
But I agree. I haven't read all of 33 strategies but ik it's gold
I studied Ancient Greek in college and am always grateful that I did so. Also, Latin. I have to say that translating Thucydides teaches patience and intellectual tenacity. You will either master that page- long sentence or throw your Greek grammar out of the window. Classics used to be taught to instill mental discipline - I wish it were still the case. I would also mention The Gulag Archipelago as a book that has influenced my life. Castaneda is very important - he will be rediscovered. Thanks for this great video - I just discovered your channel! And your books are superb!
@@CR-rm4iy By studying Ancient Greek you will learn inter alia and how to think better in your life and speak better your mother tongue. The grammar is incomparable. In China they are taught Ancient Greek. Greek monks taught Slavs their language and they still use greek letters in their alphabet.
About employers, they seek clever people to work for them and not dumbs. Multilingualism is evidence of a smarter person.
Try to learn Ancient Greek, a rather difficult language but it pays.
The book that changed my perspective of life is the 48 laws of Power. I was so intrigued I read the Art of Seduction, and then Mastery. Since the first book 48 Laws of Power I have gone on to read about 100+ other books and continue to do so. Thank you Robert!
I couldn't agree more. People e saying that the book is evil, but it is the truth. In the end it depends on what you do with the information that you receive. As for me, I became more aware on not becoming a victim. :)
What's evil is trying to keep all those valuable lessons away from the general public.
Read the laws of human nature! You will wish you did sooner
@@farhanazairy792 🙂
since thr human mind does not change any more than the humsn body...then circumstances swayed by human nature..are bound to repeat themselves...& men are bound to act in the same way ...unless shown to them that such a course ended disastrously.....thucydides
It makes me really happy to hear that you liked Carlos Castaneda’s books too. 🥰 I actually have a hard copy of Journey to Ixtlan. I find it impactful and full of wisdom that is still relevant today.
takeaways:
Machiavelli's "The Prince"
A book that made a big impact on the speaker in their teenage years
Brutal realism of human beings analyzed without guilt or moralism
Style of clarity, pragmatism, and beautiful language entranced the speaker
Read several times over the years
Ancient Greek study
Ultimate mental discipline
Studied Thucidides' "History of the Peloponnesian War"
Intricate and convoluted language required intense mental effort
An incredible fan of Thucidides after reading the book in English
Beautiful writing about human history 2500 years ago
A narrator with a clear perspective, analyzing dramatic events with brilliance
Carlos Castaneda's "The Teachings of Don Juan" series
A series of books that had a large impact on the speaker
Talks about the teachings of Don Juan
Includes "The Journey to Ixtlan"
Thank you!
Thank you kindly
Thank you for a list! His voice! OMG! I just screamed “just give me a damn list!!!”
Thank you.
Thank you ❤❤
1. Germinal by Emile Zola
2. A World Lit Only By Fire by William Manchester
3. Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka
4. 1984 by George Orwell
5. To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
6. Silent Spring by Rachel Carson
His most recent book The Laws of Human Nature is beyond next level!
You just changed my life completely. I have undone all my learning in my life. When I listen to 48 laws and 33 strategies of war, which I do every month. I get completely transformed by those principles and I see immediate benefits when dealing with the world. Thank you for bringing this book to life. I was living in ignorance for the last 38 years of my life. But, I wish I was acquainted with those books in my teens and twenties. You have transformed my life completely. You are a Master and a true student of Power and Politics. Simply beautiful :)
You must read the laws of human nature then! It's arguably his best book. Although, you can't go wrong with any of them.
Where can ii get this book?
The way he praises each work❣️
Journey to Ixtlan
is one of the
Greatest Spiritual books I have Ever read !!!
I was lucky enough to find that one first …
It helped me So Much ..!!!
I had the honor to see Mr. Castenada speak ,
But unfortunately the questions mainly centered around
the use of , substance to achieve Nirvana,
Not his incredible, Impeccable!!!🙌🏻🫶🏼
Deep Spiritual insight…!!!
ThankYou ThankYou ThankYou
Robert Green for your
Impeccable Work !!!🤩🌟
What a Relief…💜
Wow. Thank you Robert for honoring the Carlos Castaneda series. They might have made my top three, along with “Jonathan Livingston Seagull”, by Richard Bach; and “Stranger in a Strange Land”, by Robert Heinlein. I subscribe as soon as you mention Castaneda, and then chuckled that you picked my favorite philosopher and one of my favorite novelist. I look forward to reading your book. Thanks for this simple and engaging video.
The Brothers Karamazov has had the biggest impact on me by far. It is NOT an easy read, but I'm telling you it is so worth it.
I just finished crime and punishment should I read that next?
@@neekbot how's crime and punishment? I've tht book btt haven't start yet
@@neekbot Good for you, that's an excellent book! I certainly recommend Brothers K if you enjoyed that. Brothers K delves into a lot of the big questions and the chapter, "The Grand Inquisitor" is one of my favorite chapters of any book I've ever read.
The Brothers Karamazov is hands down the best book I've ever read. Some parts are admittedly a bit slow but I didn't find it hard to read at all. The Grand Inquisitor is probably the best known story from it, but there is just so much more to it. I'm actually reading through it again right now, and just got through Alyosha's account of Zosima's stories. So good. Could not recommend it enough.
@@austinmesservy6112 the biggest shit is Dostoevsky's book.Read them in original Russian.Biggest shit ever. Such a religious bullshit.
I love Castañeda’s books. Journey to Ixtlan is one of the best!
Thank you, Robert Greene! I have enjoyed two of your books and many of your youtube videos. You are insightful and helpful. As for the list, I am going to start with the Prince.
Im so glad youre making youtube videos, your books have changed my perspective on life thank you
Thank you Mr Greene. Your books are a game changer.... all of them 👍🏾✌🏾. You r unarguably one of the most influential writers of this century am sure.
May you be blessed with good health and wealth so that we get more from you to learn n enrich our lives.
Mine are: Paideia, the ideal of Greek Culture (it is over 1200 pages long but worth it) by Werner Yeager, Dune by frank Herbert (Full of quotable philosophy the author came up wit by himself) and The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli (a great book in practical politics and power). Honorable mention: Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein which short, to the point and if you can read between the lines it is actually about leadership not militarism and it makes great points about civic duty and Don Quixote (a story about fighting for ideals bigger than oneself at its central core and a critic of society in Spain at the end of the middle ages. These are the books that I first read in the late 1960's and really opened my mind.
One of the best podcast episodes I've ever listened to. Thanks to both of you.
Much love to you Robert Greene. I appreciate your guidance and mentorship 🙏🏽
I love Carlos Castaneda, it was the late Wayne Dyer who introduced me to his books through his lectures
Love dyer I love his thing traffic they are stuckI traffic his car was broken guy behind him blowing horn. He says hey you are better at this than me you fix car I’ll hold horn
I bought a bunch of your books finally. I can't wait to read them. I've listened to you for a couple years now.
One book that has really changed the way I see the world (and myself!) is Joseph Henrich’s “The weirdest people in the world” (2020). How many times did I think, while reading it: 6:14 ”Oh hell, I didn’t know that! Or: Gosh, I’d never thought of that!” Or: “How wrong I’ve been all along!” - It’s a real worldview-changer, and you come out of it much enriched and mire curious about everything you see and hear around you.
I bought the book on your advice.
I at 16 am studying Robert Greene the way he studies Machiavelli
A movie can never be as vivid and life altering as a good book. Some people substitute books with the movie made of it, but while movies are an interesting experience, books are like universes of their own. It’s something you step into, not something you’re being fed.
I was never a real reader.... So movies were always so much easier and faster... I have read maybe a handfull of books so far and am in my midlife. But... this winter I have bought around 50 books for personal growth and spirituality and so...
But I still have to set me to it to read them...... 😔😕
Robert, I can't believe that you too was so influenced by Carlos Castaneda. Well, we are from the same generation. When I was young this series was my guilty pleasure. My high school history teacher like others here told me to read Castaneda. My strict parents would have been stunned. I didn't take many illicit drugs, but I didn't need to. Carlos took me on some of the wildest trips imaginable and it helped me to be more open with my own experiences. Along with trying to listen to Ram Dass teach meditation thru cassette tapes, I never had to drop acid either. Ram had a really interesting mental pattern that was fascinating to follow. So thank you for the smile you put on my face for great memories this brought back.
I’ve learnt so much from you Robert! All of your books are amazing!
This is the first video I’ve ever watched of yours. As soon as you said the word “weird” I had tingles up my neck and thought, “Carlos Casteneda!”just before you said it. My husband, his brother, and I all read the set of four books in the 70’s and discussed them for years. I’ve never heard anyone else mention them since. Give the rest of them a try. We still have our set, along with our Zen and the Art by Robert Pirsig. : )
Nice episode I will definitely pick up the first two. I have ready Carlos Castanedas books and after that whole journey of reading them I came to the conclusion that what Don was trying to do was break us out of the illusion that what we see is what is and that there is so much more to life and spiritual life if we can only wake ourselves from this illusion. I was very moved by it. My wife did not think much of it so its definitely for the people who are seeking this knowledge even if its just a faint ember that needs fanning.
Amazing video full of lessons and humility. Really inspiring. I am just so hyped to read lately. Will definetely dive deep into those you mentioned. Thank so much for your help!!
I feel blessed just by listening to you. Such a kind, loving, brilliant human. A gift to mankind. Thank you for existing. Thank God for you. Xoxo
Getting to hear Robert Greenes book recommendations is a great privilege! Easily the best author of our times. Will gladly be picking up these books.
Also not sure if its just me but I have my audio blasted to the highest setting on mobile just to hear so maybe audio tuning could help for future videos
had to click on this as soon as I saw it
I have only one book: Siddhartha, Hermann Hesse. This book literarely changed my life.
what did you like about it
@@olliew2932 The different perspectives of how to look at life...
@@hurnidan are you willing to elaborate
Yes definitely top 3 for me. When my kids are old enough I will give both of them a copy.
Haven't heard of Carlos Castaneda in years and wonderful of you to mention him. Read the series of his books "Adventures of Don Juan" way back in high school and what a great adventurous ride. They changed me life as well. Thanks for the other recommendations as well.
For me, there are two. Pirsig's wonderful novels. The only two he wrote, a lifetime's work. An inquiry into values, and an inquiry into morals. Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance ... and Lila. Literally, the answers to life, the universe and everything ... his Metaphysics of Quality.
Wow u brought up Carlos Castaneda, I have all his books and it was passed on to me at 12 and read all of them at least 10 times,, one of the best minds ever
1. The Mars Trilogy - Kim Stanley Robinson
2. The Art of War - Sun Tzu
3. The Night's Dawn Trilogy - Peter F. Hamilton
The Mars Trilogy was amazing hard science fiction. Such a well thought out rich world and vision of the future.
I am so grateful for your books. Thank you for reading all those Books I'm changing my life
Glad you are posting regularly now. Keep the knowledge coming.
He is so humble, calm and clever. There's a huge sensibility inside this man, despite his realism.
1. The Art of Worldly Wisdom -- Baltasar Gracian.
2. Meditations -- Marcus Aurelius
3. On the Shortness of Life -- Seneca
These, may favos
4. On the Road -- Jack Kerouac (thrown in for good measure).
Indeed, also the soïcs
Excellent!
Thank you for sharing
The rawness of conversation I love those.
"Hero With A Thousand Faces" is a masterpiece. It both opened up the joy of story and how they are built, and also made it difficult to read another book without being able to just "know" or figure out where the story is going.
In this I discovered the myth that described a childhood trauma that changed my life so yes this is my most important book. My attempts at explaining what happened to me have been rejected by Wikipedia and others. No one seems to want to know or believe the real awful meaning of this myth.
Machiavelli and Thucydides would have been my guess. Dostoevsky is my favorite novelist too! Never heard of Carlos Castaneda, so I'll have to check that out. I didn't know Robert Greene studied ancient Greek, that's pretty awesome.
Robert I can listen to you talk for days 🤞
Thanks I started reading over 40 years old i've read three of your books so thanks for these new books to buy

thanks again for your influence on helping me break down barriers.
I loved "The Journey To Ixtlan", such a magical book.
I still can't believe He doesn't have millions of subscribers till now. Sir oozes wisdom every second of his life I feel❤️
Hate to say it but millions of people are sheep....
95% of the world is stupid. Tiktoks have tens of millions of views. Stupid is as stupid does.
Glad to see Castaneda getting some love. Don Juan's lessons and Carlitos's journey to yaqui wisdom have taught me a lot. Marvelous and beautiful adventures with a lot of inner truth.
You had a great impact on my life, Mr. Greene. Right words in the right time.
Books from video:

(Tanks to Mr.Robert and thank me later🙃)
1. Mastery by Robert Green
2. 48 Laws of power by Robert Green
3. The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
why the Alchemist?
@@MrJosedaluz self help fiction better than most self help books
The Alchemist?
The Prince is one of my favorite books too-for the same reason, thought I hadn’t worded it that way. Now I’m giving it to my teenage son to read. Thank you!
Wow, looking forward to reading these. Thank you 🤍
The 48 Laws of Power is one of my all time favorite books
Where can I get it.
Interesting how much my own reading journey/books with great impact included and paralleled these. I would add discovering Camus in high school, especially The Rebel and the Myth of Sisyphus. There are some books that leave their indelible mark when you are young.
Reading Narziss and Goldmund, Herman Hesse, was particularly impactful for me. It crosses between opposing ways to live through its characters.
Oooh I loved the Castaneda books! I read them as a 16 year-old in 1976.
Love all your videos, thank you!!
Castaneda's books are amazing. Incredibly undervalued in terms of perception/power, the structure of reality.
These Books changed my life:
1. Mastery by you Robert Greene

4. The Richest Man in Babylon
I'm really glad you exist mr green you changed not just my life but my whole family
Robert Greene, you are my favorite writer
You truly change people's lives, expose people's lies and hypocrisy, and put people on the right path. I hope to God that you are always in good health and in the best condition.
We read “The Prince 🤴 “ by Machiavelli in our Philosophy class as part of the requirements in Master of Arts 🎭 in Education major in Special Education at UP Diliman, Quezon City 🏙️ ❤
You're kind of a modern Machiavelli. At first I didn't like the messages in the 48 laws of power, I thought it was a bit manipulative. But then I realized it's just based on how humans actually are in real life, not how we want them to be....which is how Machiavelli wrote The Prince. (I remember in college when I had to write a mock advice column pretending to be Machiavelli for an english class lol)
The 48 laws is a great book to read if you're working a corporate job, it's like a manual for what to do and what not to do.
Did you major in classical studies? Is that why you studied Greek?
I love your selections. I'm not familiar with one by Carlos Castaneda. I'll have to pick it up.
Thank God for language, writing and communication - something we take for granted but imagine if it didn't exist. Thank you Robert

My favorite " The Art of Seduction", it gives you power, how to relate to people, how to talk to people, The second one was Mastery, and the last one is The 48 laws of Power..when you read these 3 books I promise you your life will change it will develop your business brain 100%..Knowledge is power...Thank you Robert Greene
The 48 laws of power is one of mine I read it at a very pivotal time in my life and it has stuck with me.
Same for me 👍
I'm currently on law 44. Omg this book is amazing. I think it's made me a better person aswell.
@@Sl33zytheclown It will change your mindset and your body will follow. I haven’t listened to it in about 7 years but it is still impactful. That’s why my TH-cam channel is how it is🫡
Journey to Ixtlan is an amazing book. A teacher recommended it to me when I was in highschool and it's still one of my favourites of all times.
I’d say all of Carlos Castaneda s books are top notch. But journey to ixtlan was the one I first read of the series.
These books changed my life. The lessons about personal power, self importance, and stalking your own behavior I still use today. I read the first one first, but continued on to read them all except the most recent 2-3. My favorites were The Eagle's Gift and The Second Ring of Power... honorable mentions are the one cited, The Fire from Within, and Tales of Power
So resilient and mindful! you are the best!
Very interesting thanks for the heads up
I own every book this man has written! Love his work.
He's a genius!
I've said this before, but if I were to make a shortlist 10 books I think everyone should read, Robert Greene is the only person whose name would appear more than once. Hard to pick a favorite, but 48 Laws, Mastery, and Laws of Human Nature are all three some of the most insightful and lifechanging books I've every come across.
Always appreciate hearing you share your thoughts, Robert.
Add the art of seduction
Thank you for sharing your interesting recommendations!
Great video. These books, and your reasons for loving them, say a lot about you. Thanks for sharing.
I read Carlos Castaneda years ago. In the first 2 drugs were a huge part of what he was writing about; Journey to Ixtlan, it seems he was recounting early lessons - without the drugs - and it was and is a fascinating story. Time to re-read that one!
Erasmus’ “in praise of folly” definite recommendation. Extension of il principe, Castiglioni, Al Mulk, Xenophon cyropaedia and “Hieron the tyrant”
Thank you very much for sharing this.
