    This is why Robert is a legend. I've never heard anyone approach the concept of purpose in such a deep, complete, and practical manner. Social media is the deadliest counterforce in our path to self-discovery. We unconsciously feel the pressure to imitate those who we perceive successful thinking that is the only path to power. We force ourselves to fit into the trends of the time and become so impatient and afraid to start from the bottom, to allow ourselves to freely experiment. As Musashi said, “You must understand that there is more than one path to the top of the mountain.” Ignore everyone and find your own unique path to the top of the mountain.

      Robert Green definitely redefines self-awareness, fear, empathy and many other things. He gets to the root of my deepest problems/issues, helps me know that it's okay to touch them, and guides me to look at them through a different lens. Ultimate #goat and so grateful to be alive during his lifetime

      Man is created to praise, reverence, and serve God our Lord, and by this means to save his soul.
      And the other things on the face of the earth are created for man and that they may help him in prosecuting the end for which he is created.
      From this it follows that man is to use them as much as they help him on to his end, and ought to rid himself of them so far as they hinder him as to it.
      For this it is necessary to make ourselves indifferent to all created things in all that is allowed to the choice of our free will and is not prohibited to it; so that, on our part, we want not health rather than sickness, riches rather than poverty,honor rather than dishonor, long rather than short life, and so in all the rest; desiring and choosing only what is most conducive for us to the end for which we are created.

    Robert, I’m 20 years old and I’m from Mexico.
    When I was 15 years old I had been a terrible student all my life, I had been expelled from 5 different schools, I was a really active marihuana smoker and alcohol consumer, and I used to be involved in street fights. My first serious touch with a book was at that age, and was with one of yours. I loved it. It give me an engagement with knowledge as I had never felt before, it make me see knowledge not as an obligation but as a world full of wonders. You aroused my curiosity. I read all of your books at the time I was 15 years old 3 times each. It was the perfect medicine for the right patient. At the time I graduated from High School I graduated with on of the Highest GPA’s, I received the 1st place award in 5 Models of the United Nations, I became a Mason, and I had the habit of reading 1 book per week. A Year ago, I decided to Migrate to the United States leaving everything I had to pursue my dreams. I pay my rent, transportation, school, food, all of my expenses. I’m currently studying at a Community college in California with a 4.0 GPA majoring in Biotechnology with the dream of Transferring to UC Berkeley. No one had been as influential as you to helped me found my Life Task. I will write a Theory that I’m developing about the Progress of Human Civilization and the installment of a Transnational Government, and I will create my own company using CRISPR technology and gene editing to help solve Climate Change. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making me want to live a life of adventure and service for Mankind. In others words; for teaching me the Art of Living.

    I am 40 years old now man. I have childhood memories of unfinished school work, struggling to meet my parents' expectations, mediocre grades, moderately overweight body, struggling to gain female attention, not great at sports. I remember taking a walk with my uncle, and him asking me about my interests. I drew a blank then, just as I do now. I did not realize it at the time but I feel like I suffered from ADHD and associated depression from a very early age.

    I first read Mastery about 7 or 8 years ago when I was 23. I was lost and directionless working as a cashier at a retail store. I spent some time soul searching and remembered how much I loved music. I decided I would pick back up the guitar and try to be a musician and put in the work and practice. Today 8 years later, I sold my electric guitar to a Pawn Shop for 50 dollars after it was collecting dust in my closet for 5 years. I loved music but I hated practicing scales and trying to remember how to play songs. It was a chore that gave me no pleasure and had no natural ability for it. I’ve started to enjoy music again now only after walking away from it.
    I’m a bartender now, and even though I don’t really consider bartending my passion or my purpose and I’m not the best bartender in the world but I make much more money in tips than I ever did as a cashier or security guard trying to make it a musician. Not everyone is born to be a musician, writer or entrepreneur. I’m sure Robert Greene would say I didn’t try hard enough or that I need to do more soul searching but after soul searching for over a decade I think for a lot of people having a regular job that you don’t necessarily care for but makes you enough money to live a comfortable life for you and your family is all you need.

    Love it man. I was always a loner and musician as a child.
    What you say so resonates with me. 50 now and took so many wrong paths.. mostly because of no positive influence. That’s what makes me very angry. I’m now rekindling my dream. Never too late people. I’m feeling Joy once again, rather than turning to alcohol and a dark depression. My marriage was also very hard because I’m so driven and you just look like a maniac when youre passionate about something.
    Was sexually abused for a few years as a young boy by my uncle. My dad was quite distant and has turrets and quite autistic so he wasn’t too keen on turning against his twin brother because his childhood was all sexual and physical abuse too. Anyhow… long story long: I want to start a channel or podcast and help kids who are dealing with this to realize they’ve got a shot in life. This hurts marriages and destroys self esteem. It’s destroyed my marriage in so many ways. My wife of 16 years would hug up on me at night and I would jump sky high out of bed and turn over. Never knew I did it. She’d cry alot because of this. Anyhow, we are working things out as much as we can. Back to my point: I love writing, story telling, and film making. I write and mix music also. My brother went to school to learn video so he’s jacked about this stuff too. It’s just in our family and we’re always in some dead end job because we feel like there’s no market for this stuff. At 50… a switch went off and I realized… I CAN DO THIS! You can too! Let’s go!

    Dig deep and you’ll find who you are. Growing and eating sugar snap peas in my moms garden has to be one of my earliest memories. I learned that food grew out of the ground and that fascinated me. One of my most vivid formative memories is finding dried corn amongst my moms packed away fall decor. Almost instinctively I picked them apart and planted multiple kernels in each of my moms many houseplant pots. I’m not sure how long it took but some time later I overheard my mom asking my dad why grass was growing amongst all of her houseplants, my dad laughed and told her it looked more like corn than grass. That was when I proudly confessed to destroying her beloved fall decor and planting it all over the house, which she was quite upset about. My dad on the other hand was impressed and promised me that when it warmed up enough in a few weeks we could plant them on the south side of the house. By the end of that short Alaskan summer we had a surplus of beautiful multicolored, delicious corn. We grew more than enough to replace what I had destroyed and my mom thanked me.. It felt like magic. That was the beginning for me.
    A couple years later our family fell apart and life was pure chaos from then on. In my teen years I lost my way and suffered greatly at my own hand in to my twenties. Through a relationship with God and help from my husband I began healing and I rediscovered my love for growing food. We are now living in an agricultural community, and learning how to care for an orchard. I couldn’t imagine a better life for myself.

    I'm 34 with the worst burnout I've ever experienced after 4 years in software development. Needless to say, I've always been recognized by my art teachers throughout my entire childhood and into college and really enjoy crafting new things and ways of seeing existing things into reality - perhaps it's time to have to courage to recognize it's ok to try a more creative career in design and let go of the fear of "starving artist." I particularly do hyperrealism drawing and have had plenty of great feedback but it's just my own inner motivation to truly take it on - maybe accept it can be something more. Maybe the most painful part of coding is all the technical limitations and disagreements among developers - raw design is absolutely more freedom.

    When I was in kindergarten, I was so proud that I was the first kid in my class to ride a two wheeler without training wheels. A few years later, I was planning bike rides to see how far I could go. On vacations I was always somehow able to find a bike to ride, and I'd plan out some type of challenging bike ride for myself. In 5th grade, I bought a new bike ($200) for myself using allowance money I had saved up. Fast forward 40 years, and after a long career in engineering and program management, I quit my corporate career to start my own cycling coaching business. The force driving me to do it was something I couldn't resist. I'm now about to launch one of the most innovative cycling coaching programs that I'm aware of in this industry. It's crazy when I think about it all!

I'd never even ridden a bike without training wheels but I'd be on that bike day after day trying to ride it in the playground and I'd have dreams every night where I was able to ride it...... I'd always prefer to be alone and investigating something or learning a skill than to be wasting my time with the other kids.

    Birth charts, IKIGAI wheels, therapy, motivational books, positive self talk, etc

    I like the question, ‘As a child when you were alone in your room, what was your go to activity?’ I feel like that speaks volumes on your interests without having to actually think about interests. It takes us back to the foundation of what we naturally gravitated to. As an example, my go to was writing stories and creating. I lost that growing up when I became self conscious and critical of my work compared to my peers. As an adult now, I’m so lost on what to pursue as a career, this kind of opened my eyes to focus on what I cared about before I was hard on myself and my fear of anything less than perfection.

      For this it is necessary to make ourselves indifferent to all created things in all that is allowed to the choice of our free will and is not prohibited to it; so that, on our part, we want not health rather than sickness, riches rather than poverty,honor rather than dishonor, long rather than short life, and so in all the rest; desiring and choosing only what is most conducive for us to the end for which we are created.

    I once watched a video of yours, Robert (I don't remember which one was it); where you suggested that people shouldn't follow their passion because that would not be necessarily a good idea. And I thought, "well thank you very much for your advice but I am actually going to follow my passion no matter where it takes me".
    But watching this video I say I completely agree with your message. Though I think purpose and passion go together, and they bring the fruit of life, which is the meaning. Where there's a purpose, there's an unquestionable passion, the "personal truth" that Kierkegaard talked about, "the truth for which I'm willing to live and die".

    I have to say the only reason I discovered this author is because I was so lost and wondering what is my purpose or who am I really. I did a personality test and that led me to typology and then eventually to Robert greene who funny enough is the same personality type as me. An infp. Now while this has helped me its also good to note personality tests can be not 100 percent accurate especially if you don't answer the questions truthfully. That said if you read about carl jung and myer Briggs and personality types it can really be an eye opener. And it was for me. It helped me steer me onto the right path and taught me that there is nothing wrong with me at all I just to work on myself. Now it is good to note don't get too wrapped in personality type it can warp your mind a little especially if you end up mistyping yourself but honestly Robert Greene offers great advice. I would recommend his books highly if anything else just to gain insight. 😊😊😊

    48 and Mastery are by far my 2 favorite. 48 is Machiavellian, amoral, and Mastery is like a more in-depth version of Gladwell's Outliers. I enjoyed them both, and did read them cover to cover.

    Hi Mr Greene, thank you so much for your books. Discovered 1st book concise version of the 48 laws in 2012 at Kinokuniya bookstore, and bought every book since. You enlightened me alot and shine a torch of introspection and understanding. Especially areas that was like a mental knot to me, I couldn't figure out why things worked as such, and as such running in circles. through your detailed examples and illustration, helped to unpack those questions and got answers from your books! Like many of your readers you have touched us. Greatly helped my career and brought understanding to my Brother who is now in university. Thank you again Sir and I wish you continued good health and happiness!
