If you're determined to climb the ladder of success and avoid the common traps that hinder most people, then this conversation with Robert Greene is exactly what you need. We explore the dangers of laziness, overconsumption of distractions like drugs, alcohol, and social media, and the importance of managing your attention. The theme of this episode is clear: life may be tough and nothing is easy, but what will your next move be now? Will you settle for a mediocre existence, or will you find your purpose and master the power to rise above the 99%? It's time to stop playing the victim, stop going to self-pity parties, and start taking control of your life. This is just Part 1 of our conversation, so make sure to tune in to Part 2 for even more wisdom from Robert Greene. “You have to make a choice. Do I want something else for myself or do I just want to wallow in self-pity and blame other people?” -Robert Greene Make sure to check out Robert Greene's incredible books, which are packed with wisdom and actionable advice: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/stores/Robert-Greene/author/B001IGV3IS?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true⁠ Follow Robert Greene: Website: ⁠https://www.robertgreene.co/⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-greene-0294962/⁠ Twitter: ⁠https://twitter.com/RobertGreene⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/robertgreeneofficial/⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
