- In this video, I discuss an idea I've been thinking about for a long time, the difference between alive and dead ideas.
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.

There's so much gold in this video but at the moment, I want to say I really appreciate that story of the monk and the master. It's amazing how much difference it makes hearing those words from a monk just repeating them versus a master reflecting on the lesson behind the words as he says them exactly in the same way.
I often smile as I process a tough situation and then suddenly remember a lesson (and the phrasing of it) I was taught earlier in life. Now the words I technically knew carry actual meaning and wisdom when I say them internally or externally.
There's a lot more in this video to appreciate but for now I'll say thank you dear Robert for generously and passionately sharing these videos. They're a treasure. 🙏
I love your insights! This video was SO helpful. And, can't wait to read your next book.
Very humble of you to hope of explaining your point on the subject.
No question about it and thank you🙏
Thank you for sharing this. I haven't really had words for that concept, but the way you described it makes total sense
Wow , as a 19 yo , who started to get through some of his thoughts , what you are describing is extremely helpful . I started to recently write down my thoughts , and as you said they sound very cliche , ofc it is not the exact same thing you would hear from another person , but it’s this general idea that i have gathered from everywhere and that i have reinterpreted in my own way , i had this wild theory that i was able to "copy" personalities , idk if it’s true or not or if it even makes sense but you just helped clear this out , and for this i am grateful !!
What’s also super interesting is that i found me repeating to myself , quite a few times , that my thinking was unidimensional but when i came to break down this idea , i didn’t even know where to start from because i couldn’t consciously find a relationship between thoughts and dimensions , but now that you have mentioned the 3d example , you just confirmed the relationship i unconsciously established was in fact right . I also was considering one of the solutions to my unidimensional thinking , is to level it up to the second dimension, but now i just got to know that i might need one more dimension ( that is if my thinking is in fact 1d and not 2d )
I just feel like my unconscious is the smart part in me and the conscious is the opposite .
yes my friend enjoyed listening to him share it was amazing
Your information is so important especially now! Thank you so much for all that you do! 🙏
that's the most insightful idea i have heard in a very long time: thank you. you are indeed the youtube principal.
These are the greatest thoughts I have heard this year. Thanks RG
I’ve heard Robert talk about alive and dead ideas in interviews, and I thought I understood it. But this moment taken to really talk about it to the audience was really well done. I was watching with a lot of interest. I can see how I can even apply some of this to managing people on my team that are struggling. Thank you!
yes my friend enjoyed listening to him share it was amazing
So much to unpack, will be going back over this one multiple times to try to assimilate (if that's the proper word for it) everything said. Great video Robert, much food for thought!
yes my friend enjoyed listening to him share it was amazing
Great advice. I listen, comprehend, and respect his point of view. Thank you for creating videos.
Wonderful way of looking at things. Can’t wait to implement this strategy for my mental health! Thank you Robert
Explained it very well Robert! Thank you for all the work you put out
Robert greene for president of united states
Lol will be great
Coachs don't play
true unless its Rocky IV@@fredrickmwengi7370

A president with wisdom would be incredible to have back
Love the videos! A lot of us appreciate them so don’t stop 😂
Thank you Robert, for your great mentorship.

You Sir have such a real mind.Learning so much from your videos.Thank you
An amazing video and what a really thoughtful and wise person Robert Greene is
Thanks for sharing your views. Another way into greenhousing an idea.
This thought is quite orignal 😮. It is beautiful. I see i how we can free our linear mind.
Never thought about “dead” ideas before, but in hindsight I can really tell when an idea is alive!! Very insightful as always Robert, thank you
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much ❣
I listen to your shares a lot, it's great, I listen to most of your shares on the channel, you are a great inspiration.
Nice! Thanks for the longer upload.
Love you Robert Greene! (I genuinely mean that) 🙏 Your books helped me a lot and REALLY opened my eyes and i haven’t even read them all yet… Greetings to Los Angeles from Czechia.
Which one do you recommend for a start
@@mshklh2099the 50th law is a good book to start with because it's shorter and will warm you up to the 48 Laws of Power
Thank you for helping me improve the quality of my life Mr. Greene
For so many aspects of life and art.
I really enjoyed your lectures
Thanks for sharing
Beautiful Robert! Nailed it!
Good stuff, as always. Thank You.
The internet allows me to receive ideas that are very rare in my immediate environment. I don’t like to think of the idea of voyeurism - of watching Robert’s videos and reading his books, knowing all about his life and putting him on a pedestal while I am just another anonymous ghost watching along. But I feel a deep appreciation for his work and the technology that grants us access to it, and my way of using his expressions is to embody the spirit of his words and pass them along, amalgamating higher principles and ideas that make me a fuller person. Thank you for continuing your creative endeavours!!!!
yes my friend enjoyed listening to him share it was amazing
I can't wait to read your next book. By the way, thanks for helping me get into philosophy.
yes my friend enjoyed listening to him share it was amazing
What an incredible Video. Well explained
Thank you sir for sharing your wisdom with world ❤️
Great thoughts, as always!
Robert, you're amazing 👏
[4:27] ...what's very noticeable in the 21st century is we're trying to hurry children up into adulthood, we're trying to immerse them into technology, in social media, we're kinda trying to make them mature before their age, an 8-year-old now is probably the equivalent of a 4-year-old back in my day... (I think 8 and 4 are used interchangeably and what you meant is "a 4-year-old now is probably the equivalent of an 8-year-old back in my day")
Was looking for this comment. I noticed that too. It's okay, I understood what he was getting at!
Thank you for this I was so lost hahah
I can listen ROBERT GREENE talking all day long 😊
Best author teaches us the reality of the world 🌎
Not just once at least five times a day I reflect his thoughts of my present being the participant of the future, the grandeur of It really scares the s*** out of me.. usually instilling doubts within me Can I ever be worthy to live upto such a great stature
Yet I carry on my duty without any expectations
Believe me I really know I am going to be great but I have no clue What I am going to be
If this resonates with you.. You got yourself a true friend 😊
God Bless Robert Greene 🤍🙏
Oh wow I relate to this so much
Thank you!!!❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing! Very interesting perspective. This reminds me of the concept of theory vs. practice.
Thank you!
It would be helpful to suggest various methods of ingesting ideas to make them alive. Journaling is often suggested. What others?
I would like to humbly ask if you could talk in a video about what you think of the philosopher Fernando Pessoa, and perhaps his poem "Tobacco Shop (Tabacaria)", if you already know him. I don't see American thinkers mention him much, unlike people from other languages.
Thanks and great video as always!
Hugs from Brazil.
Spectacular explanation
You are such an amazing father-teacher. Thank you for your enthusiasm!
Something weird I’ve noticed is I repeat the same life patterns every seven years. I’m only 23 so I don’t have much evidence, or my brain will make connections where there aren’t any. But for example, at the beginning of each cycle, a major theme is locus of control. In the previous one it was free will vs fate. In this one it’s been ‘the obstacle is the way’ vs compulsion. I’m now noticing myself picking up an irritating pattern I had when I was sixteen. Sometimes it seems like general themes that can have different results. Other times it feels like I’m required to repeat the same mistakes verbatim.
Give examples. Hmmmm
Amazing concept
Really this person has great thinking
thank you
Thank you ❤
It’s the struggle for money that makes it hard to let creativity fully take over. I pursued two different unique ventures in my twenties but have never been able to fully realize them bc of the need for money (to pay bills and survive). Currently applying to jobs for a stable income so I can pursue my next venture with more peace. My advice to people in their early twenties is focus on money so you can have freedom to create when the time comes
waiiting patiently for the new book
Gonna be waiting for several more years…
Dear Robert,
Can you offer any advice on how to deal with saboteurs? Thank you x
just graduated and can feel the hardships of life already.
Namaskaram Sir
Robert Greene I am boy teen ager can you make how a student should be he should or disciplined and what human nature should he have . I request you to make video on this.
Thank you
Thank you 🤍
Sir I want to learn lot of things from you😊
Well do it then.
Go read his books
Dr. Robert Green
I'd also like to add that having a skeptical philosophy towards knowledge is an integral part of making ideas become alive...
I’m 72. A woman I met in 1981 of my age has reappeared in December 22’ and is a major partner in a major project I am doing now. Yes past law dictates future destiny.
Great video and topic, Robert!
Yo Nietzsche 😮
Robert Greene says:
I was reading a quote of Nietzsche,
whom I love deeply
and I constantly reading his books ❤
Alive explainer of creativity.
Correct about childhood….😊
I have a coworker, this is a position for freshers. I have worked before but she is straight out of college... this girl after geting instructions from our senior to ask me to help her out .... acts all bossy and tells me that she is "delegating" work to me ... I wonder how to counter that without geting into a fight
That's right
Robert...i think your video sound are a lil bit uhh low
if you could make it louder i would be so happy🤒
Hi Robert, is there any chances to contact you ?
Very few people think as deeply as Robert Greene
Sir I am 16 soon will turn 17 i wanna start reading your books can you recommend any starting point
Your books are most certainly alive, Robert. Thanks for sharing the wisdom.
The real question is how to turn the ideas into a reality.
Law number 2 in the 50th law is to make everything your own.
How old is this guy? Although he looks a bit weathered, you can feel his inner drive in his voice and the way he communicates
Kaleidoscopic thinking.
so complex world no simplistic thinking recursive skepticism ? I haven't read your books btw so lmk if I'm wrong thanks
Awesome
I should read his books
Perhaps this relates to fairy tales, Jungian psychology and the collective unconscious. Why children are featured prominently... we say the witch or step mother was jealous of the step-daughter, perhaps child doesn't have to represent beauty... but rather innocence and childlike nature.
Snow White coveted having her childhood coveted and preserved. Hansel & Gretel. Cinderella. The children get away or overcome at the end, allowing us to safeguard that nature into adulthood (they storyteller doing this).
It was an idea that came to mind as you spoke.
I want to be a writer what kind of advice you can give or maybe someone tips?
If you wanna be a writer just start writing 🙄
Thanks 🙏👍
How about asking a person? There is a possibility that he will tell you, what you cannot see.
He talks exactly like his books 🙌 🙌 🙌
He speaks like a rare human being 👌
Have you read The Unfolding: A Journey of Involution? It's packed with fresh perspectives on human behavior, the spectru of empathy and modern day dehumanization.
why this video has low fps
Hey robert, i emailed your assistant on feb 1 and march 20 for an interview about seduction. Let me know. Thanks!
so smart
As Nietzsche said, there are no eternal truths, truths grow and die. A dead idea is one that says it is eternal
I absolutely love the multi-branched tree. Time and again, I've been laughed at for having a plan #10 instead of just an A and fall back B.
It never made sense to me to just have 2 plans with the richness and vast amounts of variables life _will_ offer. Apart from the joy of the mental exercise unfolding, life has never been very straight forward in the lives I've been touched by.
Sir i want to learn more about children psychology as I have a 10 year old daughter. I am finding difficult to raise my 10 year old. Please help🙏
Could you plz explain us what and who is globalist ?
he never disappoint to give insightful advice's ...
Proverbs 4:7
Dimensionality = Perspectivism = Beginners mind (Greene, Nietzsche, Buddha)
Will you do a deep dive into Elon Musk?
I believe Robert hits right on the nail when he says that adults are jealous of children, and trying to get them to grow faster.
Think about a little boy who is actually very mature for his age; that boy will get every kind of positive reinforcement from adults, complimenting him for his maturity as a sign of him being superior to other kids who actually act their own age, and encouraging him to keep working towards becoming even more “mature” as a kid, since he is being flattered by so many adults because of his behavior.
Perhaps, this is not such a good idea after all… kids need to experience their childhood.
Robert thinks people dont have aspirational thinking and we need him to believe we can.
Modern day Socrates.
