In 2019, TCP's Milena Z. Fisher visited Robert Greene, the author of many international bestsellers The 48 Laws of Power, The Art of Seduction, The 33 Strategies of War, The 50th Law, Mastery, The Laws of Human Nature etc to have a conversation about his views on creativity. You can read her subsequent article, A Voice Of Wisdom In Creativity Quarrel: "Mastery"by Robert Greene, in which she summarizes why Mastery is such an essential read for anyone interested in creativity.
The Importance of Mentorship is the first out of ten videos, which The Creativity Post team assembled from the interview. In this clip, Robert Greene expresses his views on acquiring skills, the importance of apprenticeship, and the relevance of deliberate and directed practice in that process.
