How To Transform Your Dark Energy Into Unstoppable Power | Robert Greene
Check out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1024
"That dark energy, that anger, was the source of his power. It's kind of like Star Wars - how you use that dark energy and transform it into something positive." - Robert Greene
Robert Greene doesn't sugarcoat the truth about what drives greatness. The master strategist behind "The 48 Laws of Power" reveals something most people are afraid to admit: our darkest emotions - anger, bitterness, frustration - often contain the raw fuel for extraordinary achievement. He wasn't driven to write his first book by love and positivity, but by a burning need to prove everyone wrong. And he's not alone. Kobe Bryant openly confessed that his legendary competitiveness came from wanting to "crush" opponents on the court, channeling what he called his "dark energy" into becoming one of basketball's greatest players.
This isn't about becoming a toxic person or letting anger consume you. Greene explores the delicate art of transformation - how champions like LeBron James harness their drive and competitive fire on the court, then channel that same intensity into building schools and giving back to their communities. The key isn't eliminating these powerful emotions, but learning to direct them toward something meaningful. If you've ever felt guilty about being driven by anger or frustration, this conversation will completely shift how you see your own motivation.
