Self-awareness is that thing many people claim to have but in no time at all you know this person is completely unaware of themselves. Our versions of reality seem to fall in line with the narrative and stories we constantly remind ourselves of, but the truth is, we\u2019ve constructed a reality shaped and influenced by emotions that were never truthful from the beginning. Robert Greene, just released another book, The Daily Laws, and he joins Tom in this episode to share his profound wisdom and understanding of human nature. He beautifully peels back the layers of complexity around how we are able to perceive the world around us and the way in which we fit into our own stories. The main point Robert drives home is the power of detaching yourself from the emotions and egos to take an honest assessment of what you are truly experiencing.\nRobert Greene\u2019s last episode on Impact Theory: https://youtu.be/4EtN3DM74Ko\nCheck out Robert Greene\u2019s new book, The Daily Laws: https://amzn.to/3Bpmmk9\n\nSHOW NOTES:\n0:00 | Introduction to Robert Greene\n0:51 | Reading Words and Behaviors\n5:06 | Unhealthy Relationship Loops\n9:25 | Developing Awareness\n12:21 | Detaching Emotion & Ego\n16:33 | Self Analysis & Illusion\n24:33 | See the World As It Is\n30:35 | Shift from Blame to Power\n34:30 | Untruthful Emotions\n41:42 | Change Attitude with Belief\n48:42 | What Is Sublime\n59:02 | Experiencing the Sublime\n1:12:22 | Daily Struggle for Joy\n1:18:00 | The Problem with Hope\n1:25:58 | Abilities Taken for Granted\n1:30:30 | Processing Data Quickly\n1:36:29 | Envy & Comparison\n\nCheck out our sponsors:\nAthletic Greens: Go to athleticgreens.com/impact and receive a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 free travel packs with your first purchase! \nBLUblox: Go to blublox.com/impacttheory for 15% off your order or use discount code ImpactTheory at checkout.\nSkillshare: Explore your creativity at skillshare.com/impacttheory for a 1 month FREE trial of Premium Membership. \nShopify: Go to shopify.com/impact for a FREE fourteen-day trial and get full access to Shopify\u2019s entire suite of features.\nAnthem Software: anthemsoftware.com \nOmbre Lab: To get $30 off your Gut Health testing kit and probiotics -- go to: https://tryombre.com/Impact\n\nAre You Ready for EXTRA Impact?\nIf you\u2019re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.\nWant to transform your health, sharpen your mindset, improve your relationship, or conquer the business world?
