The Key to Success in Life Is People | Robert Greene
THE KEY TO LIFE IS RELATIONSHIPS.
Life’s an enrollment game.
You’re either signing people up or pushing them away.
The more you can learn about how the human mind works, the more you can be aware of how your actions influence others.
It’s so much more than just the words that you speak.
The energy that you bring into a room and the attitude you have towards life has a huge effect on the people around you.
That’s why I’m so excited to share this conversation I had with an expert on human nature and the art of seduction: Robert Greene.
Robert Greene is an American author and speaker known for his books on strategy, power, and seduction. He has written five international bestsellers: The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, and The 50th Law and Mastery.
Robert says that you have to understand human nature in order to get people to follow you.
He argues that how you interact with others determines how far you will get in life.
Are you enrolling people in your vision? Or are you showing up in a way that doesn’t make people want to say yes to you?
Learn how to take responsibility for the energy you put out into the world and harness the power of body language on Episode 713.
