Summary

I've been looking forward to this one for a long time. This is a wide ranging discussion on how power (and the desire for it) shapes everything we do—from how we use social media to how we shape our identities. We get into how power is used and misused, misinterpreted, and of course, why we need to define our relationship to power. Robert Greene is the author of several New York Times bestsellers, including The 48 Laws of Power, Mastery, The 33 Strategies of War, and The Laws of Human Nature. Greene grew up in Los Angeles and attended the University of California, Berkeley before finishing his degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a B.A. in classical studies. Greene estimates he's worked about 80 jobs, including construction worker, translator, magazine editor, and Hollywood movie writer. His first book, The 48 Laws of Power, catapulted him to fame at age 36. His works are widely praised by a diverse array of sources, from politicians and war historians to musicians, executives, and actors.

0:00.0	The need for certainty is one of the greatest diseases that the mind will ever face.
0:16.5	That's a quote by Mr. Robert Green, who is my guest today.
0:20.9	You've likely heard of Robert Green because he is the author, New York Times bestselling author of the 48 laws of power, the art of seduction, the 33 strategies of war, the 50th law that he co-wrote with 50 cent, mastery, the laws of human nature, and his upcoming book, The Daily Laws, and his upcoming book,
0:42.3	The Law of the Sublime, which we briefly talk about at the end.
0:45.5	So he's the younger son of Jewish parents.
0:48.4	He grew up in Los Angeles and attended the University of California, Berkeley,
0:52.4	before finishing his degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
0:56.2	with the Bachelor of Arts in Classical Studies.
0:59.7	He estimates that he's worked over 80 jobs,
1:02.4	including construction worker, translator, magazine editor,
1:05.3	and Hollywood movie writer all before his first book,
1:10.1	The 48 Laws of Power. So Robert and I get into a number
1:14.4	of topics. I've been looking forward to this interview for a long time. If you've read any of
1:19.7	his books, you will likely have appreciated his approach. We get into power, how power shapes
1:27.0	our culture, our society. We talk about the misuse of power,
1:31.2	the misinterpretations of what power is and what can happen when we disconnect or disavow our own
1:38.0	power. And we take some interesting approaches. I ask them about how our current society approaches power and how
1:47.9	that will affect the way that we utilize things like social media, artificial intelligence,
1:54.8	how consciousness plays into power. So this is a very in-depth conversation, not just about power, but how our culture,
2:03.4	our society, our minds are all impacted and affected. And we also talk about the current times,
2:09.5	what's happening in our society and culture right now and how power impacts that. So I hope
2:15.8	that you enjoy this conversation. As per usual, do share this
