In today’s episode of Impact Theory, Dr. Robert Greene is sharing his insights into the interplay between systemic disillusionment, personal fulfillment, and the complex dynamics of human emotions.
Dr. Greene, an astute observer of the human condition, is a figure deeply attuned to the complexities of the mind.

Powerful Insights From Dr. Robert Greene:
“…you choose things that aren’t right for you, and when you choose things that aren’t right for you, you’re not engaged emotionally and when you’re not engaged emotionally you get bored…”
“The reason you can’t deal with change or you’re not looking at yourself is you have emotional blocks. You’re full of fear.”
“What do you think social media is? It’s an engine of envy. It’s making you continually aware of what other people have and what you don’t have.”
“Everything you do, everything you breathe in is a desire for power.”
“Envy is a huge motivator of people’s behavior now. So the drive to pull other people down is really truly motivated by feelings of envy and inferiority that other people are better than you are.”
“They wanted that fulfillment. And I don’t care if they’re born poor and they’re poverty or they’re homeless, they still have that need and they have that capacity to become a master in what they do.”
“What makes you miserable is your self-absorption in many ways.”
“The worst form of therapy is to sit there and talk about your problems. The best form of therapy is to get outside of yourself.”
“Craftsmanship is a high form of intellect in my viewpoint.”
“I just want to get men out of the mode because we are so goddamn analytical that it’s such a problem that reading a book, […] get the f*ck outta there and pay attention to the person.”
