FOLLOW on SPOTIFY ************ Thoughts from the Labyrinth: Robert Greene’s books, especially “33 Strategies” are what I’d call “mental porn” for young men and targeted to those same just starting out life or new chapter. The so-called rules do not correlate to real life and if you attempt to utilize these rules in your world, you’ll find yourself terminated, sued civilly, or otherwise face a truckload of shit barreling down upon you. It’s best to treat Greene as fun campy stuff for history nerds and nothing deeper. Buyer BEWARE. Quote Source: Telegraph.co.uk October 29, 2022 “Why Robert Green isn’t who you think” – in reference to a person following his so-called rules and strategies “Anybody who did would be a horrible ugly person to be around.” Link: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/authorinterviews/9695967/Why-Robert-Greene- isnt-who-you-think.html Further sources are the three books mentioned in my show. I purchased them and read them through many years ago. **************** Books you SHOULD buy: SELF-HELP **************** “Mindset: The New Psychology of Success” by Carol S. Dweck “Women Who Run with the Wolves” by Clarissa Pinkola Estes “Rewire Your Mindset: Own Your Thinking, Control Your Actions, Change Your Life!” by Brian Keane “UnFu*k Yourself: Get Out Of Your Head and into Your Life” Gary John Bishop “Stop Overthinking: 23 Techniques to Relieve Stress, Stop Negative Spirals, Declutter Your Mind, and Focus on the Present” Nick Trenton
