This classic SOUNDS OF FILM podcast presents an intimate and thought-provoking conversation between host Tom Needham and acclaimed author Robert Greene, best known for his bestselling book The 48 Laws of Power. In this wide-ranging discussion, Greene shares insights into genetics, Buddhism, and the dynamics of power that shape human behavior.
Robert Greene is the New York Times bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, The 50th Law, and Mastery. His most recent book, The Laws of Human Nature, explores what motivates people and how to interpret their behavior. Drawing inspiration from historical figures like Martin Luther King Jr., Pericles, and Queen Elizabeth I, Greene encourages readers to cultivate empathy, resist societal pressures, and discover a deeper sense of purpose.
With a devoted following across the business and political landscape, Greene’s influence also extends to the world of hip hop—artists such as Jay-Z, Drake, and 50 Cent cite his books as major inspirations. His work has also been featured in several television projects and documentaries, including 50 Cent: The Money and the Power, Good Luck, and Leadership.
This episode offers a rare and rewarding opportunity to hear one of the most original and influential thinkers of our time reflect on the hidden forces that govern human nature. Greene’s clarity, depth, and hard-won wisdom make this a must-listen for anyone seeking insight into themselves—and the world around them.
