Avoiding Yes Men

Avoiding Yes Men

Danny asks Robert how he avoids surrounding himself with people who don't tell him the truth, despite his success.

  • As a writer, Robert doesn't have a "court" of people.
  • However, he admits to being a control freak and feeling uncomfortable when he loses control due to too many employees.

Robert receives praise from people onlikne, but he is still self-critical and doesn't fully believe the compliments.

He blames this negative mindset on his upbringing and the societal pressure to conform, which tames individuals and prevents them from being their true selves.
