It is amazing how many succesfull people swear by heart into his motivational material. One of the most under rated personalities in the pop culture. A true legend whose contribution will be known only after his death, like with many great people who are ahead of their time.
You have to be in that state of absolute hopelessnes, when any of the artificial "life painkillers" such as drugs, TV, alcohol, religion simply don't work any more to appreciate his motivational power.
In the dictionary, under "motivation", there should be a little picture of him.
But I guess, the insiders already know that -

He not only gives hope to the hopeless, but he's a guide.
He's helped me during the lowest of lows, times when I get off the track, and times when there's no one else there. Most of all is I truly know he cares about what he's doing and he believes in it. He's not trying to make money off of people sorrow's and tough times. It's not BS. You look at his Get The Edge program and see a $200 price tag, I'd pay $1000 for it. All of his products are simply the real deal, not some scam, and I can't wait every time I get another to see what else I can learn from him. He's certainly a person that found what he was meant to do in his life.
His way of life is something I can only hope to achieve some day.
He's a great man by my terms, and reminds me of myself from the things he has gone through, but I guess he can relate to a lot of people because he's done so much!
Keep going Tony, as long as there are more and more people like you in the world, there is still hope for it! I know you've made me one of the believers.
Best of luck,

The thing that gets me about Tony Robbins is how when you listen to himjust hearing him talk, makes you want to get up and make your life better. When he talks to you, it's like he's a long time friend. By the time your done, he's taught you everything you need to know and you didn't realize you were learning it.
I swear if the world was all Dungeons and Dragons, his Charisma score would be a 19+. -

Why can't you teach it to yourself? Why do you need someone ELSE to tell you what to do in pathetic language? Seriously, get a grip.
Because it happens to be a fact that pretty much everybody in life, including you, can't run a good life, pretty much everybody has problems. Anthony Robbins is there to help.
Its because its a fact that we can't teach ourselves. If we knew how to do that, then everybody on earth would be living on like there was no tommorow, there would be no murder, there would be no hatred, and there would probably be no war. Why? Because the presidents over the years would of thought that using Nuclear bombs to murder thousands of people is not the right way to go about things, there are better ways about going things without the murder and deaths of civilians.
But instead there are people that murder, kill, moan, and hate themselves, which many are depressed, angered, and some that continuously say to themselves over and over that 'life sucks' and then head out with a gun to kill many people and themselves.
So its a fact that WE CAN'T TEACH OURSELVES, thats why there are people that moan they have the most pathetic life in the universe, they say it like if its the end of the world. This is why we have war, because we can't teach ourselves, and its a fact.
Luckilly there are some people out there that know what life can bring to you, like me, Anthony Robbins, and many thousands of other people that know what life can bring to the front-door footsteps. We all know that life is a gift, and not a chore. This is why I've read many books of Anthony Robbins, and this is the answer to your question, which was..
Why can't you teach it to yourself? Why do you need someone ELSE to tell you what to do in pathetic language? Seriously, get a grip.
I now say, shut your pie hole robertjessetelford, you don't know what you're talking about.

He likes to be called a "life coach" and yes he is incredible. I was at his "unleach the power within" seminar in LA last month and I have made some incredible changes. I even walked on the coalsit was wonderful.

Parlor trick? Have oyu ever done it? My best friend and I both did it. It is a matter of setting your mind to believe that the coals are cool moss. It's not a parlor trick honey. 2500 people did at the LA seminar. I guess you should try it and then get back to me.

it is a parlor trick.
let me explain.
you can have a cake in an oven at 200 degrees,
but when you touch the top of the cake it dosent burn you.
not like 200 degrees of heat would.
why?
coal and cake are filled with tiny little holes,
these holes fill with hot air.
Now the air might be 200 degrees, but the coals are not.
Maybe the ones at the bottom, but not the ones at the top.
it's science baby! -

I don't know if you can call that a "trick." Sure it's science, but are you saying anything explanable by science is a trick? Is every field of science simply a trick?
Of course, it is a "trick" in that you are not really gaining some magical ability to tolerate high temperatures. He did not give you superpowers. He CONVINCED you that the coal is not hot enough.
But, can YOU convince 2000 people to walk on the coal? Go go, tell them all the science and the logic; explain to them scientifically that it's not hot enough to hurt them. Are they going to believe you? -

I've been to UPW. I did what they said not to do. I just walked it slowly - no "cool moss" rubbish - it was fresh coals - and there was no heat - just uncomfortable to walk on.
Its just a trick - anyone can do it - just like walking down the street - but you can use it as motivation to fool yourself into action if you wish.
