Don't judge people by how smart, charming, or successful they are. Judge them by whether they can take criticism.
In this clip, Robert Greene and Jay Shetty talk about how to spot a weak character before you let someone into your life, and why the people who pull you in fastest are usually the ones to walk away from.
Robert explains why negative people aren't actually attacking you, what stress and power reveal about someone once the mask slips, and why we keep choosing the exact wrong people over and over again.
Then it turns inward. Robert opens up about feeling like an impostor, why he refused to write a sequel to The 48 Laws of Power, and the one thing he's still trying to learn at this point in his life.
Learn about why your thoughts aren't real, how social media copied the human brain, and what happens when you start questioning every belief you have.
