Robert Greene Laws Interview
Are you afraid you’ll have to make a radical shift in your life in order to feel fulfilled?
Have you ever felt tempted to walk away from your career so you could pursue a dream?
And is it really too late to make a big change in your life?
In this encore episode, Mastery and 48 Laws of Power author Robert Greene is here to discuss how he wandered through dozens of jobs and being seen as a loser at the age of 37 to reading his name on New York Times Bestseller list.
In this interview:
- From wandering through 50 jobs to working with 50 Cent
- The mindset for handling uncertainty and change
- Why you probably don’t need to make a huge change in order to be fulfilled
Plus:
- How small changes make a radical difference over time
- Why everyone wants power but few will admit it
- Why what you loved as a kid is so important today
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, and Mastery.
In his highly anticipated sixth book, The Laws of Human Nature, he turns to the most important subject of all – understanding people’s drives and motivations, even when they are unconscious of them themselves. Drawing from the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr, and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach ourselves from our own emotions and master self-control. He shows how to develop the empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people’s masks, and how to resist conformity to develop your singular sense of purpose.
In addition to having a strong following within the business world and a deep following in Washington, DC, Greene’s books are hailed by everyone from war historians to the biggest musicians in the industry (including Jay-Z, Drake, and 50 Cent).
Greene attended U.C. Berkeley and the University of Wisconsin at Madison, where he received a degree in classical studies. He currently lives in Los Angeles.
