Topics
Robert Greene: 本书作者Robert Greene分享了他38年人生经历中对权力运作的观察和反思,以及他如何将这些经验转化为畅销书《权力48条军规》。他强调,这本书并非完全是教人操纵的“宝典”,书中许多法则强调的是策略、计划和克制。他写作的视角是基于自身缺乏权力、曾受他人操控的经历,希望读者在保持理想主义的同时,能够意识到现实世界的复杂性和潜在的危险。他认为,真正的成功源于将内在情感转化为外在的创造和成就,并对人生早期经历持积极态度,认为那些失败和挫折最终促成了他的成功。他依然保持着理想主义,但对人生的看法因经历而有所改变。他认为,无论是过分理想主义还是过分世故圆滑,都存在着某种程度的“天真”,需要在两者之间寻求平衡。要推翻旧有规则,必须先精通这些规则。他认为真正的创造力源于对事物复杂性和矛盾性的接纳。 Simon Sinek: 访谈者Simon Sinek与Robert Greene探讨了权力、理想主义和人生智慧等主题。他认为Robert Greene的作品贯穿着一个主题:创造和保护安全空间,以便个人能够充分实现自我。他总结Robert Greene的人生目标是帮助人们创造和保护安全空间,以便个人能够充分实现自我。他认为智力不仅仅是认知能力,也包含情绪智力,即能够正视和反思自己的焦虑和不确定性。智力还体现在能够寻求帮助和不同视角。在复杂的人际关系和决策中,寻求多方视角有助于更清晰地认识问题。寻求他人意见的同时,也需要保持独立思考和判断能力。他认为,在理想主义和世故之间,需要做出选择,并为自己的选择负责。人类愚蠢的根源在于盲目自信和自以为是。

Shownotes Transcript

How do people become powerful? Can understanding power protect us from those who wield it too strongly?

When Robert Greene first set out to write about power, he didn’t have much of it. He worked odd jobs and was largely at the mercy of other people’s power. Now, his book “The 48 Laws of Power” has given him the power he wrote about. He sat down with me to share what he’s learned on both sides of that spectrum.

This… is a Bit of Optimism.
