Manipulation vs. Mastery w/ Robert Greene
Episode description
Hey Besties! To continue mentor month, this week on Almost Adulting we are joined by yet another legend, Robert Greene! Robert is the author of 6 New York Times bestsellers including the infamous The 48 Laws of Power and The Art of Seduction.
Together Violet and Robert go through some of the most important lessons in his iconic books and unpack the TRUE meanings behind them - regardless of any ‘bad press’ they may have received. Throughout the conversation Violet and Robert drop gems about how to further your trajectory in life: from learning how to see behind the ‘mask’ people put on for others, to finding your true purpose (even if that means failing). Finally, Robert speaks on what he feels is his most important lesson taught in the 48 Laws of Power, and how you can apply it to your life and reap the benefits. Get your notebooks out Besties, we’re taking over the world in 2023!
