In this episode of "The Diary of a CEO," Steven interviews Robert Greene, the best-selling author of "The 48 Laws of Power," about power, seduction, mastery, and human nature. Greene discusses his childhood, various jobs, and the serendipitous moment that led him to write his first book. He defines power as an internal force of self-control and understanding, rather than external dominance. The conversation explores the importance of appearances, the balance between playing a social role and staying true to oneself, and the strategic use of intention. Greene shares his personal experience of having a stroke and how it shifted his perspective on life, happiness, and empathy. He emphasizes the importance of having a sense of purpose, gratitude, and connection with others. He also touches on the need for effort and patience in relationships and the value of mastering a skill.
