Description: Robert Greene is a globally renowned author and thinker best known for his groundbreaking books on power, strategy, and human behavior, including the international bestsellers The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, and Mastery. But before becoming a literary icon, Robert struggled through decades of uncertainty—working over 50 different jobs, battling self-doubt, and feeling lost in his 30s. It wasn’t until age 37, after years of rejection and frustration, that his life changed with the release of The 48 Laws of Power, a book that would go on to sell millions of copies and influence everyone from CEOs to world leaders and hip-hop legends. In this episode, Robert opens up about the real pain behind his rise, the dangerous truths about power, and the deeply human experiences that shaped his work.Timestamps:00:00 – The Psychology of Seduction11:45 – Overcoming Insecurity and Finding Real Confidence Through Action19:40 – Modern Dating and Human Disconnection32:00 – Finding Your Life's Task and Mastery44:15 – Mentorship and Preparation51:05 – Final Reflections: Leadership, Regret, and His Most Personal Life LessonsResources:Robert's InstagramRobert's WebsiteSneak Peak of Robert's New Book, The Law of the SublimeCoaching and Staying Connected:1-on-1 Coaching | Instagram | YouTube | TikTok | LinkedIn
