I'm a 22 y/o college student here in the Philippines, I discovered "The Prince" by Nicolo Machiavelli and "Art of war" Sun Tzu last year and "48 laws of Power" by Mr. Greene this year and I can say that this really changed the way I think of life and the way I think about politics. I really appreciate the fact that this era even if you're in the other side of the globe you can have an access to this kind of knowledge and be a better version of yourself.

Agree! Plus we’re constantly changing so it helps with a tune up.

I've first heard about Machiavelli when I was 18. I overheard a conversation of two people, during a trainride, and one of them stated that everyone who reads "The Prince" would understand the modus operandi of modern politicians. A year later I got the chance to read that book, but was frustrated by the ancient translation. A few years later I heard about your first book, and it was mentioned that the Machiavellian menthods inspired this. So I bought it and also The Prince in a more modern translation. Both books changed my life and way of thinking drastically. And yes, one can understand politics and politicians when reading them both. Thanks Robert and Niccolo ❤

Underrated comment

Happy 65th Birthday Robert. 🎉

_The Prince_ is a playbook, still in use - or instinctively used - by politicians. They either learned it (from, say, the book) or figured it out themselves. Both possibilities are scary.

I am not sure why you didn't show up on my radar until this year. I had seen you in passing but never knew the wealth of information that you possess about the human animal. You couldn't have been more right about how as a child you were so turned off by folks that lie about their character while knowing they are nothing of what they claim to be. My mother was the perfect example of that and I was disgusted by it. Because of that, I learned to maintain my own authenticity as I grew older with only a window in my 20's were I deviated from that path but regained it again. I have already known for a while that people tell you everything you need to know through their actions (without reading any book about it, but through painful observation). But you did teach me to notice micro-expressions in people to see how they really feel and have taken that knowledge into my daily observatiosn. Thank you for sharing so much with the world.

There are five thinkers that I have learned great things from when it comes to understanding the great power-structure and social-ecosystem that is our world, these thinkers are: Machiavelli, Nietzsche, Jung, Hegel and Sartre. What I find so amazing though is that time and time again I can tie the ropes back to Machiavelli, absolutely crazy how much his books contain if you read 'in between the lines' so to speak. I enjoy your work very much Robert, thanks for everything!!

I know this sounds crazy but I had this sense while listening to you, that you might’ve been Machiavelli himself in a past life. I have purchased the 48 laws of power and the laws of human nature and though I haven’t got the chance to complete reading them with joy yet, I am so excited to get your book Mastery. I am always happy to listen to you on KZread, when I read your books I can hear your voice reading the lines to me with the same tone setting. Thank you 🙏🏻

“Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved? It may be answered that one should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, it is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two, either must be dispensed with. Because this is to be asserted in general of men, that they are ungrateful, fickle, false, cowardly, covetous, and as long as you succeed they are yours entirely; they will offer you their blood, property, life, and children, as is said above, when the need is far distant; but when it approaches they turn against you.” This is my favorite quote out of any book ever written. Shoutout to Machiavelli for the brilliant work and for inspiring the great Robert Greene 🐐 🐐

Without love, the world quickly turns bleak and hostile. Trust vanishes, and negativity lurks everywhere. Even the smallest things can become sources of suspicion, and the fear of betrayal looms over every interaction. The lack of love leads to loneliness, bitterness, and a constant sense of unease, as anxiety and distrust become the norm. This extends to the point where even basic acts of kindness, like sharing a meal, are fraught with doubt. One might wonder if their food has been poisoned. The absence of love leads to loneliness, bitterness, and a pervasive atmosphere of anxiety, distrust, and fear because that which we sow, we inevitably reap. True power lies not in instilling fear but in inspiring reverence through a balance of potential for harm and a commitment to justice tempered by love. By adhering to the golden rule of treating others with the same love and respect one desires for oneself. From a survival standpoint, it's good to have claws to produce some fear to be able to protect yourself from bullies. But once you're established in self-defense, never choose fear at the cost of love where relationships and trust are better rewards, as opposed to enemies, desolation, and all negative emotions. Ultimately, you cannot have one without the other. That's the difference between the good king, tempered with wisdom, as opposed to the corrupt tyrant, who exercises extreme fear. On that note, both extremes are bad and inevitably fail. You need a touch of fear, with a whole lot of love. A king has to reprimand and cannot be all love, especially in the face of wrongdoing.

Keep posting videos of you talking! Your voice is so soothing to me!

The 48 Laws of Power is *must* read, Machiavelli revealed the truth behind the mask of power, and I'm grateful to him, and Robert for his wonderful work. #ThankYou.

The most succinct and knowledgeable synopsis of the true Machiavelli I have witnessed. I would add his significant diplomatic service to the city state of Florence when it was a republic. Reading his diplomatic dispatches is a window into the behavior of the ruling elites during that historical period. Thank you for setting things straight.

Always find your content incredibly helpful, valuable and interesting. Cannot wait for the new book. :)

Bought my first copy of Machiavelli in Berkeley, and a few years later wrote a comps question on his being the first modern.

I finished The Prince a few months back only. It gives a lot of valuable insight into the minds of rulers. I have my grandfather's copy which was published in the 1940s

Dear Robert, I discovered 48 laws of power in my early 20's, and for the last 10ish years (I'm old, I know) your books have been a constant guide through the trials and tribulations of my life. They have helped in developing my personality and improving my habits (including developing a general reading habit). They have also saved me from making numerous mistakes, which thanks to improved foresight I have managed to avoid. For example when I meet a "problematic" person in my life: whereas earlier me would get annoyed or frustrated with their behavior, nowadays I smile and think "Wow! Exactly as in the story/chapter xyz that I read in Robert's book!" My only regret is that I have not discovered your work in my teenage years. Oh, the drama and confusion I need not have had!

Im not sure how I came across Machiavelli but I did when I was going through some stuff at work. As a manager I really needed to hear some cold hard truth with my own actions. I would of rather be loved than feared and it created a work environment where they didn’t gaf. I learned to be stern when dealing with people and pretty much not gaf what they thought or what gossip they spread. Now I have gained respect from my workers but I also have created a fear in them by being straight up with them. Not only did you, the 48 laws of power and Machiavelli helped me but my kids too. At home I was stern as hell and my kids knew right from wrong and to be completely upfront with me when making stupid choices. I learned to be my full self at work as well. It’s like everything at work had to blow up for me to see where I was hidding myself away! Thank you!

Very Beautiful Conversation …….🌞

“Dear Robert, I humbly believe that you are the Machiavelli of our era. Thank you for so much wisdom!”

Expressively deep~ Thank you, Robert... for sharing your passion and beautiful knowledge as so. ❤

i’m not sure if you’re open to astrology, but i looked up your chart & Machiavelli’s chart and i am absolutely FLOORED… when i saw that you both have Sun (identity) in Taurus, i was like okay, cool coincidence. but because both of your works have such a huge focal point on power, i of course had to look at Pluto-the planet symbolic of power, influence, and subconscious control (among many other things). but to understand how insane and meaningful this is, you have to know that Pluto is a very slow-moving celestial body. in the charts of most people, it acts as a background sort of force unless there are mathematical configurations to other planets that suggest otherwise. both of you have the exact same sign of Pluto. it takes Pluto well over 500 years to move back into the exact same sign. and to think how big of an influence he is on your work blows my mind. the fact that you both have Taurus Sun / Virgo Pluto, with a positive aspect (the mathematical configuration i mentioned earlier) between them, and focus on similar things just can’t be a coincidence. you have to be his reincarnation or something 😂

you are my inspiration Robert ; just love the way you speak and the way you do everything i see.

You’re the greatest living author Mr. Greene I can’t express how grateful I am for you❤

the irony of you using the same principles as Machiavelli did to make your influence among people like you mentioned in 33 strategies of war is so damn brilliant. prob one of my fav living authors

Once again, thanks Mr. Greene.

I love how Robert addresses Machiavelli as his good friend...as if he is still alive-which of course, he IS when you consider his writings and the very real and ever contemporary influence they have on people through the decades and centuries...I feel that way about Nietzsche, and also Robert's own work, which will have a timeless impact down the line I'm sure...the 48 Laws of Power is his The Prince, and 300 years from now, people will address Robert as a good friend too

Amazing how i just finished reading the prince for the first time last week I always learn something new when you make a video on these philosophers (i know machiavelli isnt regarded as a philosopher but whatever)

Thanks for sharing

Thank you my good friend Robert Greene. In my head, you guys are the best friends i never had It is a rainy night here in India. I wish i could pour you a single malt and debate through the night about why humans do what they do.

That's a good video, glad I watched... that Man is very sharp minded.

That ending was very touching,

my man Robert, if you ever make your audiobooks with your own voice I'd buy them all with no hesitation

I meditating on the Prince for nearly 10 years still potent as when I first read it. It also introduced me to his other book, Art of War and Castrucho Casticani of Lucca classics

I hope to be able to speak with as much confidence as you do someday, especially because I think our minds perceive things quite similarly, albeit from different cultural backgrounds.

Thank you Dr Greene

Robert Greene's books and the internalization process of them have elevated my philosophical and psychological games to a whole a new level. It did take a couple years to really process all the information and turne it into my tools in the arsenal but damn it was worth the effort. Subtleties are everything!

I love Roberts Greene box with passion ❤❤❤

It is an amazing to have you in this age.Long live Mr green.🎉

You're a start Robert. Your wisdom opened my eyes on soooo many things. I ow you so much. I like that you're a Taurus, as a pisces with a 2nd house (Taurus house) in scorpio (known for depth, loyalty, power). I find myself connected to taureans on a deep level

I'm happy to have live during the time of Robert Greene.

Never outshine the master has been one of the most useful laws I’ve learned. Thank you Robert. Learning about human nature from you and Machiavelli actually makes me more optimistic about the world, because despite the manipulative nature of humanity, we have still progressed somehow into a world with historically low violence and poverty, when you compare it to all other times of history.

Thank you Robert you are doing gods work you changed my life and millions of others you'll be remembered till the end of human kind

Robert's reflection on Niccolò Machiavelli's influence is a testament to the timeless wisdom found in Machiavelli's writing. 📚 It's fascinating to see how Machiavelli's insights on power dynamics continue to shape our understanding of human behavior and leadership.

not to be all up in peoples business, but 0.33 Mr. Rob is moving the left hand even more! continue to get even better, and more well! POWERFUL Mr. Rob!!!

Love this 😊

“the human animal “ I like that expression ; before I thought i was the only insane who think that , now that the idea is blessed by mr Greene , i will adopt it from now on , i will always add - animal next to the word human; for the simple reason that “ people pretend to be what in fact they are not “ & that they play the game of “ fake it ‘till U make it “,… YET , i still have hope & believe in human nature can change for the better, since humans are victimized by ignorance & the surroundings 🕯 ❤ 🕯 .

Robert, thank you for this. As we become more understanding, how do we navigate narcissists while being nonviolent if that is the path we choose? A follow up if we want to be more empathetic, how can we reconcile this with a statement like recognize and avoid all narcissists? The Dalai Lama says even angry people deserve love. I’m really curious as I can see I have a fear of running into one or getting enmeshed with them but I still want to maintain my values.

This video just proves why everyone listening to Robert Greene has to read the 48 laws of power book. if you haven't read it, read it then read it again and learn all 48 Laws by heart. Which I did. It's worth it. Because all ads, commercials, marketing and newsletters use many of these methods. Everything outside of ourselves is constantly trying to persuade, and influence us.

I love Robert Greene and his books

Thank You

Unfortunately I haven't read Machiavelli's work, though I've read three of Green's, which changed my views towards the world and people. I'm not enough smart and masterful to use all the laws, however I've learnt how to quickly distinguish other people's true wishes, actions and thoughts clearly. So, I'm deeply grateful for such chefs-d'oeuvres.

I love how you refer to him as he was alive and somewhere out there. Im sure he would really appreciate it

Hey Robert. Thanks for you great work. Mastery is a Master's piece ;) maybe you feel like making a video about it, and for that I propose exercises for a flexible and adaptable mind. Best wishes, and looking forward to you next book and the one on human stu...

Hey Robert when's your new book gonna come out ? I'm eagerly waiting for it.

It's funny, Robert is one of my all time favorite people to listen to, and I just started looking in to Machiavelli by a series of random coincidences then I see Robert has just put out a video about him. I love shit like that.

I had an optimistic view of the world until second year in college when I studied The Prince in philosophy class. It broke my heart because I knew it was true. Not the truth for everyone but the way for people who act out of fear as opposed to pursuit of excellence. Focus matters including identifying someone else’s priorities and how that may affect the outcome.
