What if your consciousness was never locked inside your head in the first place?Robert Greene, the best-selling author of The Law of the Sublime, sat down with Lewis for his sixth visit, eight years after a stroke nearly took his life. His wife saw his slurred words and drooping face, made him pull over, and called 911 about 30 seconds before he would have been brain dead.He came back to a world that seemed to sparkle, and he spent seven years writing so you could feel that without having to die. He explains why a small child gives 90% of their attention to the world while most adults give 98% to themselves, and how that shift feeds anxiety and addiction.One story stays with you: a woman in surgery, with no brain activity and her ears plugged, later described the drill and the Hotel California song playing in the room. Robert talks through near-death experience research and the old idea that awareness might run through everything, along with what his marriage taught him about letting the ego go quiet.When this one ends, you'll want to step outside and look up at the sky. Then you'll look a little longer at the person you love.<a href="https://amzn.to/47sleyK" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Law of the Sublime</a><a href="https://amzn.to/4zWkWMX" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Daily Laws: 366 Meditations on Power, Seduction, Mastery, Strategy, and Human Nature</a><a href="https://amzn.to/4dBfmqw" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Laws of Human Nature</a><a href="https://amzn.to/4jk8AZR" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mastery</a><a href="https://amzn.to/47W4CPY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The 50th Law: Overcoming Adversity Through Fearlessness</a><a href="https://amzn.to/3WsGuSy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The 33 Strategies of War</a><a href="https://amzn.to/47Wjv4V" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Art of Seduction</a><a href="https://amzn.to/4hK1gFG" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The 48 Laws of Power</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/robertgreeneofficial/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Robert's Instagram</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@RobertGreeneOfficial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Robert's Youtube</a>In this episode you will:<ul><li>Discover how Robert Greene’s near-fatal stroke taught him to see the world with new eyes</li><li>Rediscover the childhood sense of awe that adult routine and ego slowly bury</li><li>Learn The Law of the Sublime and the doors that open you to wonder</li><li>Spot the false sublime behind addiction and choose experiences that come from within</li><li>Strengthen your relationships by giving first and letting go of defensiveness</li><li>Face your own mortality in a way that brings urgency instead of fear</li></ul>For more information go to <a href="https://lewishowes.com/2001" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://lewishowes.com/2001</a><a href="https://lewishowes.com/more" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">More SOG episodes we think you’ll love!</a>
