🧾 EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of The Diary of a CEO, featuring Robert Greene and Steven Bartlett, The Manipulation Expert: You're Being Manipulated! Use Jealousy To Manipulate People! Robert Greene explores robert Greene Reveals Human Dark Sides, Power Games, And Purpose Robert Greene explores how misunderstanding human nature leaves us vulnerable to manipulation, failure in relationships, and frustration in careers. He argues that real power begins with brutal self-awareness: confronting our narcissism, dark impulses, and repetitive life patterns so we can channel them productively instead of repressing them. Greene and Steven Bartlett discuss identity traps, career reinvention, purpose versus false purpose, and why pain and urgency are often necessary catalysts for meaningful change. The conversation also covers reading body language, detecting frenemies, the inevitability of deception, political stupidity, mortality, and Greene’s forthcoming book on the sublime.
