I Wrote This NEW Book to Change How You Live Your Life in 2027 | Robert Greene

πŸ”” Subscribe for more great content: https://www.youtube.com/lewishowes ▢️ Recommended for you: https://youtu.be/TUbdHLxYaDw What if your consciousness was never locked inside your head in the first place? Robert Greene, the best-selling author of The Law of the Sublime, sat down with Lewis for his sixth visit, eight years after a stroke nearly took his life. His wife saw his slurred words and drooping face, made him pull over, and called 911 about 30 seconds before he would have been brain dead. He came back to a world that seemed to sparkle, and he spent seven years writing so you could feel that without having to die. He explains why a small child gives 90% of their attention to the world while most adults give 98% to themselves, and how that shift feeds anxiety and addiction. One story stays with you: a woman in surgery, with no brain activity and her ears plugged, later described the drill and the Hotel California song playing in the room. Robert talks through near-death experience research and the old idea that awareness might run through everything, along with what his marriage taught him about letting the ego go quiet. When this one ends, you'll want to step outside and look up at the sky. Then you'll look a little longer at the person you love.
