Robert Greene: This Is The Most Important Book I've Ever Written
Robert Greene is the bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power, Mastery, The Art of Seduction, and The 33 Strategies of War. His latest book, The Law of the Sublime, is the culmination of seven years of research and reflection on one of life's most profound experiences: the feeling of awe, wonder, and connection to something greater than ourselves.In this conversation, Ryan Holiday sits down with his longtime mentor and friend to explore the extraordinary hidden within ordinary life. They discuss how history and literature allow us to transcend time, what the ancient Greeks understood about the forces of nature, why modern society has lost its sense of wonder, and how Robert's near-death experience transformed his understanding of the sublime.
Together, they explore what it means to truly experience life—and how we can rediscover the beauty, mystery, and extraordinary possibilities that surround us every day.
