Everyone Is Important

Robert Greene is the author of The Law of the Sublime and was the first guest on The School of Greatness. The sublime is a feeling of awe that comes from seeing the world with new eyes, and a bond with something larger than the ego eases the misery that disconnection breeds. Topics include the death sublime, the false sublime versus the true sublime, panpsychism, Bruce Greyson’s near-death research, the Pamela Reynolds case and the Eleusinian Mysteries.

Lewis Howes, host of The School of Greatness and author of Make Money Easy, marks 2,000 episodes of the show with lessons on consistency and service. Greatness comes from using unique gifts to serve others, and showing up consistently matters more than feeling ready. Named touchpoints include The Mask of Masculinity, The Greatest Mindset, the Summit of Greatness, and his years on the USA National Team in team handball.

Yung Pueblo is the author of Journey: The Year That Changes Everything and a long-term daily meditator. Inner peace is the spaciousness to witness tension without letting it control reactions. Topics include Vipassana silent retreats, impermanence, the four elements framework from Journey, and a four stage process for designing a life through intention, action, consistency and letting go.

Lewis Howes, host of The School of Greatness and author of Make Money Easy, examines why unspoken expectations leave hardworking people feeling stuck and resentful. Releasing demands on timing and outcome while keeping the effort high makes room for good things to arrive. Topics include the silent contracts journaling exercise, the “Would you be willing to” ask, therapy at the start of a relationship, and the book Eight Dates.

Robin Sharma, author of The Everyday Hero Manifesto and The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, joins Lewis Howes on The School of Greatness. He argues that unhealed trauma forms a field of hurt that shapes daily behavior, and that healing it frees a person for service and personal mastery. The conversation covers the AFRA tool, the eight forms of wealth, the 5 AM Club protocol, journaling, meditation, and University College London research on habit formation.
