I almost died in a hotel pool at 10. I took swimming lessons 3 times in the ensuring decades without success. I always wanted to conquer fear of drowning but had no good access to a pool for decades. In the mean time I watched a lot of swim lessons on vhs (effortless swimming) and later on TH-cam. When I moved to my retirement home in 2021 I finally had convenient pool access (no one uses it). I started to teach myself how to swim since July 2022. I’d go almost everyday. It was really hard and frustrating but I never thought to give up. Now I can swim front crawl and breaststroke well while building endurance. I have a good deal of respect for water, will never not be careful in it. In the mean time I am making friends with water everyday. I don’t ever tell myself never. It all depends on if I want to do it or not. Once I have decided, I would know everything about it to ensure safety and success. I have done this quite a few times in my life. Doesn’t matter how small, every try is building confidence.
if you've noticed. robert greene is one of the nicest interviewees. and one of the smartest. he asks interviewers outright about an experience of theirs. even though it's hes the interviewee. he also goes to note subtle things the interviewer does and compliments them. theres a lot to learn just from the way he conducts himself.
I don't know I'm a huge empath and I always listen to others and remember what they tell me because I listen so intently but it has never gotten me anywhere in love. People often take advantage of me being more interested in what they other is saying
Meet new people... Larger the group population better the chance... And try to find something more appealing than attractiveness.... Or if you are doing this, then go tell them how attractive they are... Doing completely unexpected things will bring spice in your life
I’m on my 3rd Robert Greene book.. he is a wonderful writer, that combines stories in history to psychology and human nature. Very smart man that makes lesson practical for everyday life.
No he doesn't he told in a interview that they are his real life experiences and since he cannot use the person real name he instead gives them a role for example the cruel boss may be a cruel king from the 15th century 😂
The 48 Laws of Power is my favorite book. I read it many times in 2016 thru 2018. I spent a few years absorbing all the messages and laws, and now I am using them and finding success. It’s crazy how powerful that book is if you treat it like the dense material it is and really study it for years
The one skill young people need to learn is the skill to learn new skills. The skill of learning new skills and developing with the times is the master skill to success.
Naaah! The most important skill is to say 'NO': >>No, I am not doing this any longer.>No, I am not going to finish that course, because it's not what I expected it to be and therefore not wasting more energy.>No, I am not staying where I currently am. I will leave.

I’m extremely perceptive and intuitive and wow it’s saved me so much pain ❤️ I’m an intuitive empath We have to emotionally detach and place yourself into there emotions
knowing that I'm going to be in pain isn't helping my anxiety it's funny how the fear of pain is even more painful then the pain itself for me and I would rather be in pain as long as I would need to be afraid of the pain
I agree with this 💯. Absolutely love Robert Greene's insight. It resonates with me so much. When you're present in the moment you can learn so much about a person without them even saying a word. Facial expressions and body language say so much about what someone is feeling on a broad emotional spectrum. It's intriguing. In the times when you do communicate with someone else it's so important to ask open ended questions, the 5 W's and then listen and wait for a response before you say something else you can learn so much. 💛 Such a great video.

How do you not get overwhelmed by others emotions? It usually effects me when I'm conscious of how others are feeling especially if it's a negative emotion. It drains me out and I end up avoiding crowds most of the time
Maybe meditation? Staying grounded. You can feel and show compassion, but try to leave the emotion with the other person and dont let it take you over. No one is helped by that. In the worst case the other person is toxic and thinks "Oh thats nice now this nice person takes over my emotion and i dont have to deal with it anymore - Let's hang out more often"..
Too many are narcissistic individuals and they don’t want to listen to you.. they think you are obliged to listen absolutely love to hear themselves talk never asking much of anything as they think they’re always the main attraction
Natural seducer and empath... life has been nothing but pain and set backs but noooow.... i am learning how my mind works and working through my issues and most importantly loving myself... self love is the key to happiness ❤
\Sounds like every guy I've gone out with...talk forever n it never goes anywhere or means anything...just more details of their needed car repairs or work traumas...always the victims of their own crappy thinking.

His opening statement is a double edge sword. You spend your life living in other people's minds to get what you want, then at the end you have loads, but you don't know your own mind or self anymore. 😨
The empath is the counterpart and favorite target of the narcissist. Each personality is borne of childhood trauma but the empath and narcissist develop in completely different ways as a coping response. Empathy is important but it takes much more than empathy to be a good and attractive partner.
Glad you corrected it to be, ' other people are 'AS' interesting as yourself' , because people who are tooo emathetic loose themselves and can turn into a doormat
That's kindness and altruism, but we have to be aware that other people may not see that as strength but weakness. So we should not be surprised if they start trampling on us. It means they are unhealthy, sick, toxic , unstable.
What if the other person is a disgusting pervert who is a psycho on the second meeting? I'm NOT kidding either..... There are a lot of inappropriate people out there that we shouldn't even interact with in the first place
That's my initial response, too. However, even the worst childhood may have had some happy moments. Or bittersweet moments, maybe. Search your memory for those.
I love you, Robert Greene and Lewis Howes! Thank you both for sharing your greatness. I can't wait until," Towards the Sublime" comes out...2023/2024!!! 🥰💖
Whats the difference with these techniques and being exploitative and manipulatative as narcissists and con artists do? Be yourself…. Too much work… I know people that naurally have charisma because they love themselves and are curious and love others😇
What every male misunderstands is : every person has human rights …..getting married it not a license for the male to trample on the female individual and human RIGHTS . Everyone is born FREE and EQUEL !
What about the female who tramples on every male ? How about people realize we walked around with a picture in our heads of what marriage looks like and talking about that picture before getting married and finding out the limits of what we each bring into the marriage so we have a clue of the work that a good marriage actually is. Good marriages rarely just happen.
Robert Greene might be my spirit animal. So I’ve bought the books. Physically and on audible and have not started them. I’m actually very tuned into Robert speaking with video it crosses the adhd barrier more for me. I can naturally do all of this and movies are my best friends. One problem how do I stop myself from being or becoming a dark empath? I’m going to take a stab in the dark at that question and say: by just choosing not to be an asshole. 😂. I think an empath is just that there are no sub levels of bad or good unless you allow those to form but also if you choose to clip parts of those branches off. I’d give anything for anyone of you to plead pitch in on this. Usually this is just a dark hole for my thoughts to be thrown into.

That is B/S.
Take a look at my comment's last paragraph i.e. the comment you are referring to.
It's hard when you have empathy because you take on other people's stuff
It’s really fun going into their mind as they undress you without realizing it well that’s the good but totally understand
I enjoyed Robert’s books 15yrs ago and it is so great to finally see the author share his wisdom
Every time a citizen bowed down to greet the emperor or shouted a word of praise about his great deeds, Marcus Aurelius instructed the servant to whisper a few words in his ear. These were the words: “You're just a man. You're just a man.”
I love how he communicates. Genius. Honest. Thank you for all you teach us Robert Green.

Love listening to this guy he is so inspiring and very sincere.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I Love Robert Greene! I learn so much from him!
Same same 💖
Pain is a very powerful motivating factor.
Absolutely!
It's a character asset called HUMILITY. That's what he's talking about. Great video.
Thank you so much for your feedback 🙂

knowing that I'm going to be in pain isn't helping my anxiety

Pretty simple, amazing how many people are just only interested in themselves and wander why their life and relationships suffer
How do you not get overwhelmed by others emotions? It usually effects me when I'm conscious of how others are feeling especially if it's a negative emotion. It drains me out and I end up avoiding crowds most of the time
Study avoiding personality disorder, and how not to be an emotional sponge, might help.
Maybe meditation? Staying grounded. You can feel and show compassion, but try to leave the emotion with the other person and dont let it take you over. No one is helped by that. In the worst case the other person is toxic and thinks "Oh thats nice now this nice person takes over my emotion and i dont have to deal with it anymore - Let's hang out more often"..
Get some boundaries. Stop emotionally investing your energy into them. You chose where your energy flows
@@averyintelligence yeah need to consciously try not to do that

Shift my focus on other's point of view, their perspective. Can hardly wait to practice this concept.

That's kindness and altruism, but we have to be aware that other people may not see that as strength but weakness. So we should not be surprised if they start trampling on us. It means they are unhealthy, sick, toxic , unstable.
Yes and we need to stay far away from unstable people
Super challenging for ADHD people, if they let us BLAH one sec it becomes magically half hour of hyperactive speaking.
Amazing man!

When u focus on them instead of self it helps u notice such character asap a u can avoid them of end the relationship earlier on
Did you watch the video? He talks about this at 5:50
I like this man
Robert greene is obsessed with "The Mask 🎭"
I know now that I have few fears except for falling from deep heights
