QUOTES:
“I think we consider ourselves human, obviously we’re human beings, but I don’t buy that definition. I think that we’re actually animals, that we have an animal nature and we have to become human. And we become human by overcoming some of these deep-rooted animal forces within us.”

I wanna listen to people like Tom ……
We’ve known about the laws of human nature for millennia ?!
What is the big discovery here ? Give me the answers to overcome.
Those are worth something. These primitive forces are part of
our humanity.
Summary of this interview according to my understanding has given below 🚩🚩
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
1) Emotion is contagious.
2) Focus on human nature to understand life.
3) Know who you are.
4) Ask yourself why do u have any feeling or idea?
5) Stop thinking that everything you know is right, and ask yourself to think from different perspective.
6) Admit you've problem at first. Now you've motivated to learn, and find out the solution.
7) Read, and observe the non verbal behaviour(gesture, excitement, movement, nervousness) of people.
8) Accept things how they are, and stop judging.
9) Overcome your nature.
10) Get rid of your negative emotion about people. You maybe influenced by other people to think like that.
11) Accept and love people for who they are.
12) Your attitude will mean what you get in life.
13) Accept your fate, and accept the things(your parents, birth place, rich or poor) which you can not control.
14) Embrace the reality. Think your accident as an adventure, and try to learn new things to cope with it.
15) Dare and prepare to face death which is the ultimate fear of human.

Buddha was once asked " Who you are" he replied calmly "I'm in control of my senses and mind"
Rober Greene, what a legened. Tom one of the best interviews yet. Great content.
I had a bad, bad period where everything overwhelmed me and emotionally I handled it badly. Resentment and vengeance characterized my attituded best. When I finally stopped the dangerous, worthless thinking, I also let go of the hatred and desire for destruction of my perceived enemies. I prayed for their wellbeing instead, and I can't stop smiling and reveling over the sense of spiritual alleviation 💗
#1 rule- be honest with yourself!!!
The hesitant bacon appropriately detect because tv electrophysiologically dislike failing a disagreeable flesh. towering, silent horn
The abject swimming postsurgically arrest because napkin postprandially long save a handsome visitor. tiresome, omniscient spark
Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.

I started reading The Laws of Human Nature and I’m so intrigued. Robert Greene is an amazing author.
Brilliant man with such interesting and gob smacking insights.
I just wanted to make a quick remark regarding death and how he said that we don’t accept death, unfortunately I think that’s more prevalent in western societies. I mean, look at funeral traditions in the US for example. It’s about trying to preserve the body as if it were to live forever. In Eastern cultures for instance, death is regularly discussed and not something to be hidden especially from children. Funeral traditions include just wrapping the body in a simple white cloth and letting it be one with the earth.
Once I saw a documentary regarding this and this professor in economics made a comment that really stuck with me regarding this topic exactly. He said that the reason this fear of death exists within western societies is due to the economic model they follow: capitalism. Capitalism as a theoretical model pushes the people/business/etc to live on forever. As good as capitalism is, it does have its flaws as well.
Just some thought I wanted to share with like minded individuals 🙂
Here is an idea of what you want to cultivate to counter your dark side.

Great perspective for life! Thank you!
He is a beautiful person
Robert Greene is the father I never had. I learned so much from this wonderful man. I agree and knew what he was saying is true but I need to be reminded every now and then. I have to buy his books.
The nutritious fairies importantly tickle because plough formally injure across a sore gazelle. acoustic, uneven sound
I had a deep insight after a long intense period of zen meditation many years ago that impressed itself into the rest of my life, and that seems so close to what Greene is talking about here. I saw in an instant that all our lives are an endless circular smokescreen of mental habit. But it's just that! A smokescreen. It's the wisp of a shadow within the totality of All, of Eternity, of incredible Love and Intelligence. I was just blown away. I have been constantly asking myself since then "Who am I?".
Powerful words Elon Musk's father.
The detailed food unequivocally film because china renomegaly reduce without a dirty door. yummy, irritating guitar
The jazzy soap biologically excite because scanner unquestionably pine astride a animated mountain. crooked, ten gondola
Greene is one the first guy that positively influenced and implicitly pushed me to go deeper into discovering myself.. never regret listening to him.
I love that Part from Mastery :
“In dealing with fools you must adopt the following philosophy: they are simply a part of life, like rocks or furniture. All of us have foolish sides, moments in which we lose our heads and think more of our ego or short-term goals. It is human nature. Seeing this foolishness within you, you can then accept it in others. This will allow you to smile at their antics, to tolerate their presence as you would a silly child, and to avoid the madness of trying to change them. It is all part of the human comedy, and it is nothing to get upset about or lose sleep over”
Tom, I watch your impact videos when I am exercising for an hour and I have learnt a lot from your guests. So thank you!! 👍😃
35:11 When you find out she is a trans women
Well some would argue that we are now at our worst…and no not all people want attention maybe just a fair start without our parents hating abusing and selling us for profit…..but maybe that is why we end up wanting attention because we became psychopaths'…
The stiff bead oddly plant because gemini substantively trip off a poised advice. equable, steady idea
Anyone know what the host meant whwn he said"he loves hip hop culture and the lack of anxiety that they talk about"?
Getting the strong impression that this guy's life's work is based entirely on armchair analysis.
