Become the Master of Your Destiny | Robert Greene Speaks To SMU Dallas 

Robert’s books have stood the test of time from all these gurus and trends over the years on the internet. Every time I get confused and sucked into a new trend, his books have always saved me from bullshit. That’s one hell of an achievement.

After a long time, finally I found my mentor.

“As more people become more intelligent they care less for preachers and more for teachers” ~ Robert Green Ingersoll

What Robert states resonates with me. As a kid I loved to be hours at the water in a rowing boat. The boat was like a wooden box with oar locks. At age 19, I came into contact with race rowing by coincidence. I’m in my 50’s now and won almost 200 races. Winning was never my goal, I just love to push myself in a rowing boat. 🙂❤🚣‍♀️

The day I discovered Robert Greene I suddenly realized how much he had to reflect on how life works, so I started reflecing on myself, a few years later I can say I am a complete different person...how wonderful is to encounter extraordinary people like him...

I changed my career path in Law enforcement. I quit my job to follow my passion in the fitness industry. I'm currently studying and am enjoying my modules very much. However, laziness to study creeps in now & then and I decided to listen to this talk by my favorite author and immediately I'm inspired to open my laptop and continue with my studies. I love this topic about Mastery. Thank you!

I'm a minister of a Church in the Philippines but I learned a lot from your books, especially from the psychological aspects of human nature.

I can listen Mr. Greene for hours. In fact, I DO! Thanks

I'll never forget the advice you gave about narcissists and toxic work environments. You are so right about getting out if you can and that you may never recover. I'm sure you are a modest man so I hope you don't mind me saying that you are truly a modern day sage.

"Too many people believe that everything must be pleasurable in life." -Robert Greene

You look amazing Robert Greene and I’m going through a really tough time at the moment. If I hadn’t read all of your books beforehand I don’t know how I could’ve made it through. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Things are changing so quickly in the modern world. There is always something new happening. If we do not consciously choose to remove all these shiny objects/distractions & focus on our purpose, we feel lost. And rightfully so.

One of the most compelling aspects of this video is Greene's emphasis on the importance of taking responsibility for one's own life and decisions. He encourages viewers to adopt a proactive mindset, to set clear goals, and to develop the necessary skills and knowledge to achieve those goals. "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." Greene's presentation style is dynamic and engaging, making the video an enjoyable watch. He provides numerous examples and anecdotes from his own life and the lives of others, which help to illustrate his points and make his ideas more relatable. Overall, this video is an excellent resource for anyone who is looking to take control of their life and achieve success and fulfillment on their own terms. Greene's insights and strategies are practical, actionable, and rooted in his extensive experience and research, making them a valuable asset to anyone seeking to improve their personal or professional life.

It is so good to hear this. I am 44, and this is my mindset. Open, always learning, always trying to grow as a person. Glad to hear that someone with your vision approves so wholeheartedly of living this way. Thanks for being you Robert. Thanks for giving us all our power back.

Please don't stop uploading on this channel, these videos provide incredible insights to stuff that we otherwise would not have been able to look at with such depth. We love you ^^

Like Master Robert Greene says: what makes me unique is my source of power ❤

Thank you sir for the book Mastery.🙏❤️

Thank You Robert. Im a different person after reading your books Sir.

I love the deserted island metaphor. 🏝 That is what adult life in the modern world feels like.

he's finally triggered what im naturally drawn to thank u. i've always been drawn to it as a kid, now i finally remember i am truly thankful to come across this man

Robert Greene you are amazing and I love your mind. I noticed how in each book that you have written you included a historical piece and someway somehow find a way to connect it with the concept that you are trying to convey. I have all your books and savor each moment that I sit down and listen to you by either reading your books, listening to you being interviewed by social media influencers and now you are doing public speaking in universities. In one of your interviews you mentioned that you have an internal rebellious side that you didn’t allow others to change you nor change your mindset on what you wanted to do in life. I am in total admiration and fascinated in who you are and how you have arrived at your destination of the famous Robert Greene ❤

listening to you... I can remember, being with my grand parents 3 weeks ago, watching videos of me at 3 years old. I can actually SEE MYSELF REACTING TO SOUND. And now I'm 28, and recording my 3rd EP. And I'm literally obsessed with playing music and mixing sound since I'm... 3. Found my uniqueness. And planning to becoming session drummer & bassist and maybe, one day, sound engineer ?... a MASSIVE THANK YOU, AGAIN.

Your vision made me want to empower myself and empower others by your tools ❤️ your name will last in history ❤️

Who’s excited for the upcoming Talk at the Sydney Goldstein theatre in San Francisco :) ? I can’t wait, coming from Canada!

Mastery is my favorite book at the moment.💛

I fuck with Robert Greene. learned about him this month, all i watch when I take a break from writing raps.

This I have to listen to numerous times. It resonates at such a high frequency that it makes me crazy. I think that if I listen over and over and over again, I might really really understand and align your lessons with my individual life. This is mind blowing....

You’re the best Greene. You’re a treasure

Thank you Robert Greene for all the work you do, you are amazing!!!

I don´t have words to explain what i feel after viewed that video, It´s insane.

Thankyou soooo much the way you present is incredible , watching what I can my only wish I could share with you would be I wish ya had an apprentice to bring you water , you put so much out THANKYOU

Great job at putting us to sleep Robbie! The soothing music. The soft voice….

Robert , I have never met you but I would really like to so I can just thank you with the amount of wisdom that you have provided me through tough and unclear times . I am currently 18 years old and have always had this obsession for sports , particularly baseball . I just feel that my internal radar goes off whenever I am in a stadium and just feel like it's my destiny to pursue it and become the best or die trying . Of course at 18 I have already had experience with people trying to get me to conform and just choose a safe route. But I know that I am meant for something extraordinary , And I would really like to thank you for providing me with your words as guidance through my way to MASTERY.

I've read some pages of greene's books. Usually his ideas are very sound. You can see he has read a lot too. I want to thank this sir for his modesty even when his input has been tremendous!

Great stories. Yes they all had patience, perseverance and the ability to stay on task. Never quitting. Ty

A very good lecture, the opportunities do not always happen and you sometimes have to knock the door down!

Your books! I should say I have no words to express how greatly they have changed my life and guided me through situations.

Oh my God, this literally just saved me..

I like his books because they are straight to the point and packed with content. No substitute for substance and quality. Wished I would have read this stuff at age 15, I would have saved thousands of hours of wasted time and energy

22:10 Can't agree more!

Absolutely beautiful talk, Robert 🎉

Love Robert Greene. Thank you for sharing your wisdom 🙏🏽🤍✨

Robert Greene, one of the most interesting people i have ever met. Thank you so much voor sharing your wisdom!! Love it! Wish you a good health for alot more years!

Your books changed my Life! Thank you

Thank you for your contribution; words cannot express enough my gratitude! 🐔☀ 🙏❤

You are a guiding light of clear thinking. Thank you for being so practical and insightful.

Thank you Robert for your inspiring presentation. You're doing a great job to save humanity.

It absolutely is the most plentiful/sent-in (by inmate’s family) book in prisons. I’ve been in several during my stretch. There’s good reason for that and it’s because it’s valuable and enlightening for awareness of hierarchical realities and avoiding being chewed up whether one engages in climbing a ladder where ends justify the means for you or you wanna help avoid or guard against other’s schemes with that MO.

Your lectures are a real enlightenment. God bless you 🙏

Such a smart and hard working man!

As usual very informative Your books and multiple interviews of you have changed my life It would be awesome Robert if you inform us the process of writing books and thank you!!

Sir You're a master

Thank you for everything, Robert.

You are one of the most inspiring people I have ever met, you are as real as can be and it's hard to find the words to say how much I appreciate your work. It's so wonderful and so good I love you so much

He is so well-spoken.

0:46:20 Mr. Robert Greene: Summarizing 04 main ideas - solutions for the title.

Great work Mr. Greene!

I wish I went here. Mr. Greene is one of those great sages. That humanity gets to cherish every millennium. Thank you for all your work. I'm from Dallas.

Robert Greene is an ordinary guy put out on earth to do extraordinary things. I loveeeeee this man to d core. He hits you deep n I love love his thought process. This d unique thing about him. He does not sugar goat n tell u fantasy stuff. He tells u about life. How we are meant to figure it out sumhow using our inner radar n go find something that excites us. The way he articulates all d necessary info fr us is pretty extraordinary. I use to wonder why I'm so different in thought process.when I started listening to this man..then it clicked ..God bless him fr the goodness that he brings. My only wish is to see him in person fr a selfie n an autograph I'm so farrier away. But I wish that day we'd come. Thk u sir. U he changed my life immensely

Prazer para mim é ter entretenimento com aprendizado ! Aprender e cansativo é necessário mais o entretenimento e um alívio e não exige esforço mental

❤ ALL THE WAY IN MISSISSIPPI… much Love & Respect ❤️

Your light has vision and mission :) without you I can’t imagine what will be my life I manifested to be mentored by you :)

You are a god, thank you for all your teachings

Thank you Robert. I take your books to the isolated island

My favorite author after graduation he is writing inspired me to read again.

Thanks Robert.

Thank you for sharing

I love how in Robert Greene’s answer to the 48 Laws of Power production question, he perfectly followed one of the laws in the book: make your accomplishments seem effort. A large part of his answer revolved around motivation and desire, creating a sort of magical aura around it. Greene is truly *that* guy.

Thank you for these great insights.

There was no way you were here in Dallas, and I missed you!!😭

Excellent talk

You are soo great to follow, thank you

Thank you sooooooo much

Can. Not. Wait.

Superb talk. Great conclusions on oneself as emotional connectivity. Truly, not as genetic having physical brains nor deriving richness by parental assets. True connections could be only from within, which itself is a pure self to supreme self, as energies. Not that everyone could get motivated within in today's very sophisticated technological world. However, if the energies are attracted and blessing the conditioned living entities, it could connect, keep connecting, getting connected like the examples discussed be it Faraday or Yogi matsu. Thanks again as I like, enjoy listening to such super plain, super inspiring talks.

Thank you for this video. I've watched all your lectures on RU-vid (I don't mean interviews and also don't mean your videos on your RU-vid channels). There's only 5 of them. And I'm glad, that I'll get to watch the 6th one.

Unfortunately and I guess it is Fortunate now that I look back. When I read Robert Greene Books I was Embarrassed, angry, Self Embarrassed, Self Angry, How Could I be so blind to see, that I was being played because I was being Authentic, Most of my peers were always asking for help with things, and I would blindly help with a smile. Now I know that I was an idiot and everyone was taking advantage of the neighborhood fool that will give and ask for it back. Now i know i was the one who looked around the room and finally figured out that there are two types of men Perpetrator and victims. I was proud that I did not hurt others, now i know that is because i was the idiot victim, no more victim here, Don't play me i will bite back...lol. Thank you Robert Greene...Thank you for telling me the truth..

Well done here Sir

Same I become more manipulative now. Thanks for the wisdom.

love you from the heart

Thank you for your service

Very wonderful, very meaningful sharing and worth listening to

Very inspiring ❤

You’re incredible

you changed my life

Wonderfully Wise thoughts

Thankyou

Very astounding lecture.

I had the pleasure study the Bryan Tracy Phenix project! And the richest man in Babylon! My favorite audio books 📚 🇲🇽 achievements comes from the mind and mistakes make you learn. Life is all about learning new things and there's endless to learn from. Remember this working hard and getting knowledge is something that anyone can't buy also being kind to others buy's you loyalty 😊

Thanks, I just moved to Texas for the first time last month…

Ty Robert

I guess I will be ordering the book Mastery and start following directions and be grateful for all the opportunities given. Okay, so I am just getting started. Well, I got what I asked for,so get to work.

Super inspiring! Your unique, primal inclinations, as Robert described them, are what I call your 1st Nature, the attributes that you came to life to express. Question…How did Michael Faraday learn to read or do computations if he never went to school? THAT was the beginning of his success story, IMHO.

The biggest misery anyone would have is not to realize the potential they were meant for.

It's a long way to go but the only way to excellence

Nice practical information 👏

This is a strong argument against globalization

His books and the author Paulie Amigo has really helped me

Human evolution is also a subject that fascinates me! Why's that?

Love you
