Hello and welcome. I'm Shane Parish and this is the Knowledge Project. This show explores ideas, methods, mental models, and frameworks that will help you expand your mind. Live deliberately. and master the best of what other people have already figured out. You can learn more at fs.blog slash podcast.

My guest today is author and strategist Robert Green. Robert's the author of New York Times bestsellers The Forty Eight Laws of Power and The Thirty Three Strategies of War. He's also written on mastery and seduction. His books have been called amoral, cunning, and even ruthless for what they reveal. In our conversation

We talk about his research and writing process, including his famous note card system, how he applies what he's writing about and learning, and explore his unique mindset. You'll walk away with not only a deeper understanding about power and how it actually works. But how you can read more effectively. Enjoy the conversation. Your first book, The Forty Eight Laws of Power, was a slow burn, if I understand that correctly. I mean it didn't sell all that well initially, but six or eight years later
