Do you ever feel like you're just putting on an act to get attention and love from others?


In this bonus episode, I talk with Robert Greene who dives deep into the concept of narcissism and how it affects all of us.

Robert Greene is an American author known for his books on strategy, power, and seduction. He is the man behind the international bestsellers: The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, The 50th Law (with rapper 50 Cent), Mastery, and The Laws of Human Nature.
