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.

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

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.

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!

@@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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Im so glad youre making youtube videos, your books have changed my perspective on life thank you

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.

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

Flowers for Algernon touched my young heart so many years ago and still resonates with me.

Robert Greene's books are like moon tugging on sea, propels one into motion, gives one a new confidence to face the rigidly dynamic world. I cannot be more thankful for his writings.

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.

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.

The first important book I ever read in my teens was Machiavelli's The Prince. In high school, I had a Machiavelli t-shirt. My older cousin, who is a devout Catholic, almost shit himself when he saw it. My favorite professor at university recommended Thucydides History of the Peloponnesian War. I did read some of it. I should finish it. I had the Thomas Hobbes translation. In my 20s, I read almost everything by Nietzsche. I still feel he is the best thinker that I have ever read. I did read one book by Castaneda: The Teachings of Don Juan (?). I still remember the scene where he rubbed peyote (?) paste on his legs and was running and hallucinating in the desert. I haven't read enough Dostoevsky. I don't agree with the conclusions he came to. Later I really liked Camus, Kafka, Cioran, and Ligotti. Thanks for sharing!

Much love to you Robert Greene. I appreciate your guidance and mentorship 🙏🏽

Reading Narziss and Goldmund, Herman Hesse, was particularly impactful for me. It crosses between opposing ways to live through its characters.

Hey Robert, thank you for posting. Hope you are well! Looking forward to more content!

95% of the world is stupid. Tiktoks have tens of millions of views. Stupid is as stupid does.

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.

I can't imagine reading the Prince at 15. Amazing.

Great video. These books, and your reasons for loving them, say a lot about you. Thanks for sharing.

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

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 you for sharing your interesting recommendations!

Robert Greene - Sir - Please make more videos and write more books. We - your readers demand MORE of your great work and teachings!!

@@mediasmoker Its a British expression. You wont understand it.

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.

Castaneda's books are amazing. Incredibly undervalued in terms of perception/power, the structure of reality.

I read one of Castaneda's books long ago, in college. Lot's of great insights about perception of reality and mind over matter - everyone should try the experiment of willing the second hand of a watch to stop or reverse itself. Do we see what we think we are seeing? Heading to Northern Italy this Fall, am going to have to dust off Machiavelli. Three great books that have blown my mind: 1. The brothers Karamazov. 2. New Testament of the Bible 3. One Hundred Years of Solitude. Honorable mention goes to Sun Zhu's The Art of War. Gonna have to check out Peloponnesian War - thanks for reminding me - shortlisted now.

Robert I can listen to you talk for days 🤞

I have only one book: Siddhartha, Hermann Hesse. This book literarely changed my life.

Yes definitely top 3 for me. When my kids are old enough I will give both of them a copy.

Erasmus’ “in praise of folly” definite recommendation. Extension of il principe, Castiglioni, Al Mulk, Xenophon cyropaedia and “Hieron the tyrant”

Thanks I started reading over 40 years old i've read three of your books so thanks for these new books to buy heres my list i've read so far The art of war The book of 5 rings 48 laws of power Art of seduction 33 strategies of war Mastery key system (just started this) Surrounded by idiots Chimp paradox A different drum The brothers Karamazov (I didn't know it was in two parts i have to get pt 1 then start reading) I went Sunday school then straight across the road to church when i was a kid so have to add The bible thanks again for your influence on helping me break down barriers.

Good selection. Will read your first 2 as I already read the Castaneda books...

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!

I have read many amazing books. The problem is remembering to live by everything I have learned.

what a relaxing voice he has . i can listen to him all day

Very interesting thanks for the heads up

I am currently reading Crime & Punishment…. And was lucky to see a man speak about it via Smithsonian Associates last week. My first reading of Dostoevsky (I’m 62!).

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.
