The Daily Laws 366 Meditations on Power, Seduction, Mastery, Strategy, and Human Nature

I read out of Ryan Holiday's The Daily Stort and I read out of Robert Greene's Daily Laws...

I highly recommend that you go and grab your copy.

What gets you what you want is your daily habits.

Every day is a meditation, and it's kind of structured in the beginning to help you go through your career, mostly things from mastery, about finding your life's purpose, what I call your life's task, and how to achieve a level of mastery in whatever you do.

He designed the cover of The Daily Laws and I'm hoping he'll...

I was reading The Daily Laws before setting up this interview and I'm going to read one. It's a set of meditations, 366 meditations on power, seduction, mastery, strategy, and human nature. And so here's the one for June 7th and I think it's relatively representative of the book.

Play a soccer to catch a sucker, seem dumber than your mark.

And I have the human nature, the Law of the Human Nature affirmation book from Robert Green.

I'm trying to encourage you to go by the daily laws, 366 meditations on power, uh, seduction, um, mastery strategy and human nature by Robert Green.

Retain the craftsman mindset. This is another concept from Mastery's / The Daily Laws.

The work is the only thing that matters is what you wrote.

The idea that you give is cultivate profound dissatisfaction with your work.

I highly advise that. So if you had a podcast that got you in trouble, then go through that post-mortem process to see what you might have done that caused it and so you can learn the lesson is extremely important.

But that's different from going back and criticizing a podcast that's already been created and it's out there. What value are you going to get? You're just going to be beating up on yourself as you say.

If you haven't heard of this book yet, everywhere you will, the book is one of those. Each chapter is a new day of the year kind of thing.

So this conversation doesn't follow the book because it kind of can't and it's a little bit all over the place.

And there's pieces where I'm like that had nothing to do with the previous day but oh well.

So that's why the show is going to be a little weirdo. It's a PSA for the audience.

the book is designed to make you a radical realist or many of your books are designed to make you a radical realist

Retain the craftsman mindset. This is another concept from Mastery's / The Daily Laws.

This is from, I think, the laws of human nature.

The attitude is if we are fearful, we see negative in every circumstance. We don't take chances, we blame others for mistakes. If we are suspicious or negative, we make others feel those same emotions. Then we create those outcomes for ourselves at home and at work.

I'm saying that the horse is your emotional self. It's all that animal energy. It's those hormones coursing through you and making you excited or angry, etc.

The rider of that horse is your rational self, is your frontal cortex or your executive decisions where you go through a rational process of coming to a decision about what needs to be done.

If you haven't heard of this book yet, everywhere you will, the book is one of those. Each chapter is a new day of the year kind of thing.

This and I'll mention this in the intro to the show. This is going to be a little bit of an all over the place conversation because of the book is that's what the book is right.

So when I say play on people's need to believe to create a cult like following, you know people going Robert is teaching people how to create a cult.

Well nobody's going to use that chapter to actually literally create a cult. What I'm telling you is the world we live in now there are cults everywhere. Political groups are cults. All kinds of organizations are formed like a cult.

The book is designed to make you a radical realist or many of your books are designed to make you a radical realist and that for me is well tell me what that means and why it's important.

And then the Daily Laws, which I was lucky enough to work on.

You can grab all those at the Painted Porch.

The daily laws,

I'm Ryan Holiday, the daily stoic wouldn't exist without Robert Green. The books that I've written wouldn't have existed without Robert Green. The places that I've talked to work that I've done wouldn't exist without Robert Green.

I think that's a great way to look at the screen in his book, The Laws of Human Nature. He talks about the difference between Shadon Freud, like wishing bad things, or other people in Mitten Freud, probably pronouncing least horribly wrong.

This is also a day we broke out in the daily laws, which I was lucky enough to work on if you haven't read it. You should carry it in the pane of porch. I think we even have some signed copies.

Anyways, again, I don't that there's another awesome daily laws, a daily book out there. Like I remember Rob going, is that going to be a problem with your book?

And I was like, no, this is amazing. More people reading something every day is good for the world and probably good for the category too.

But Mitten Freud is the active wishing of success or goodwill towards people.

He wrote a wonderful book called Mastery and he has another book I can't recommend enough called The Daily Laws, which is a sort of a daily primer on his way of thinking.

Robert Green's The Daily Laws is another one I recommend that I spent some time with this month

I have Tolstoy's calendar of wisdom here on my desk. I was lucky enough to work on Robert Green's The Daily Laws. These are two books I try to read on a daily basis.

This is the new book The Daily Laws I see it as kind of a greatest hits at one uh a best of Robert Green because to me I feel like it's a question people ask me a lot they they'll hear me or someone else talk about you and then know the what Robert Green book should I start with and it's kind of a tricky thing because if you go 48 laws of power maybe to get turned off it's dark if you went with seduction maybe there that's not what they're in it.

it's actually the second best-selling book in the Painted Ports this year

his new book The Daily Laws is out. You can pick that up in the Painted Porch.

And that book is now out, it came out yesterday. I'm talking about the daily laws, 366 meditations on power, seduction, mastery, strategy and human nature.

I see it as kind of a greatest hits at one, a best of Robert Green because to me, I feel like it's a question people ask me a lot. They'll hear me or someone else talking about you and then they'll know what Robert Green books should I start with.

But it's really on read number two and three, where 50 depending on how many of them are going to be by the book, that's where the value of the daily practice is like, imagine your meditation is relatively the same as it was 10 years ago, 15 years ago.

So it's really that we bring to the text exactly what we need. Because why fortune cookies and horoscopes seem to have power is that we see in them what we already knew but couldn't articulate to ourselves.

And his new book, The Daily Laws, 366 Meditations on Power, Seduction, Mastery, Strategy, and Human Nature is only more so.

In my view, the daily laws is kind of like a greatest hits album.

It gives readers one piece of wisdom every day which will help you understand and internalize the many lessons and ideas that Phil Roberts books.

Each is an easy to digest lesson which takes only a few minutes to read and concludes with the daily law a prescription or a prompt for the reader to put this lesson into practice on that day.

The daily laws then is packed page after page with his hard one wisdom.
