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.”

Words cannot describe how fortunate we are to have people like him into our world !

His book Mastery was the first book that changed my life completely. I have become a completely different person after reading that book and it serves and influence me to this day. I consider him my mentor and I want to thank him with all my heart. I hope you recover completely from your stroke. Peace.

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 💗

Anger is the most powerful emotion--more powerful than love. Take it, channel it. You'll surprise yourself with what you'll accomplish.

I don t envy other people because I don t know the pains and struggle they have. I don't know the debts they have , i don't know their past I don't know their future. I only know that we all suffer in different ways and that no one has a charmed life

I am a bit late to see this but I am literally listening to every Robert Greene interview I can find online since I have discovered him! He is such en eloquent, wise & humble person. Thank you Tom for another great interview.

My favorite of Tom's interviews. I can't believe it's taken me 35 years to discover Robert Greene's work. This is exactly the teachings I've been looking for on my journey in shadow work.

3 months before my dad passed away, I read Roberr Greene's book The 50th Laws. It helped me a lot. It saved me frm all negative emotions and helped me to face the truth that my dad is gone forever. But I have faith that one day I will be able to meet him again ❤
