I can tell you it was pretty life changing. I also volunteered with Basket Brigade a few years back, the company he owns and feeds the homeless through. Just have to filter through what doesn't resonate with you. Most of you on this forum probably already know that, but I occasionally come across posts of "I have 3.0 GPA senior year em I Stuff like this could help when life kicks you in the balls. For example, He often preaches about knowing why you want X in life and then consistently going after it. Personally, some of his NLP and chanting stuff is a little weird, but I look for what I think can be applicable in my life and use that. With no degree, growing up in an abusive home, homeless, broke, surviving in SoCal to now being one of the leading performance coaches today I think there are a few things you can learn from him. In an interview, I watched he told the interviewer that all of his companies combined generate 5b a year with thousands of employees nationally and internationally. He coached Bill Clinton the day he was supposed to get impeached, Andre Agassi, Paul Tudor Jones (still is, gets a piece of his performance fee - I think), and the list goes on. One thing you have to realize about Tony Robbins is his track record. Others think he's another BS motivational scam artists. For the few that do like him understand his core principles and feel they can implement them yielding measurable results. My opinion is that Tony Robbins is not for everyone. That’s a decision that should be deliberated and made carefully, not something you do because some charismatic cock with a nice jawline and a deep voice pressures you into doing it in front of a thousand people. Nobody in that fucking room, Tony included, knew shit about her or her relationship. She does and everyone’s cheering and crying and shit, convinced she just made the right move. Tony has her call her husband on the phone right there and then and tells her to end it right there. He asks her what’s troubling her in her life or what she can’t make up her mind about and she says it’s her relationship: She’s not sure whether she should stay or leave. In his Netflix special he’s speaking in front of a big crowd, pumping them up and shit, and he invites this one woman up to the stage. So I felt neutral about him until I saw this: I’m plenty motivated so I’m not interested in anything these guys are pushing. He hasn’t accomplished anything outside of motivating people. The news covered how 20 or so people went to the hospital for walking on coals lol. Apparently it was like a 3-day pep rally where he spewed common tropes about always doing the best you can and being persistent. no thanks", but this one SVP who carried himself like a philosophical out-of-the-box thinker was not only completely sold, but made it mandatory for all AVP's and SVP's to go with him and I think they paid out of pocket. All the non SVP-level employees walked out of there thinking "yeah. Mind you, these were for the nosebleed seats in the auditorium. Anyone who came to see Tony during his scheduled weekend appearance would only have to pay $800 instead of $1000. Then at the very end, he told us that he would give us a special deal for our office. Its stuff we all think about regardless, but I guess it was nice to write it down. He gets us to do things like jumping up and giving ourselves high-fives, getting people to address their short-comings at work, and makes us fill-out a "life-wheel" that shows how we think we're performing in various aspects of our lives. He claims to have worked on wall street but gave it up after meeting Tony Robbins and becoming one of his "associates". He begins by pepping us up, and informs us that our employer brought him in today to help optimize our performance. We walk in and sit down, in comes this tall Indian version of BJ Novak wearing a black v-neck showing off noob gains from the gym, and black trousers. One day we get called into this meeting with "a motivational speaker". I interned at a commercial bank last summer, lots of great people.
