Tony Robbins

Tony Robbins is arguably the modern face of motivational speaking and life coaching/ success systems - he was even the guest ‘life planning’ guru on the movie “Shallow Hal”. We’ve all seen him on infomercials enthusiastically preach the benefits of setting goals, and he is also an example of someone who teaches what he preaches.

Born in affluent California in 1960 and with a relatively uneventful and ‘normal’ childhood and education, he went on to study neurolinguistic programming to develop the Tony Robbins flavour of motivational seminars.

‘Neurolinguistic programming’ (NLP for short) is a controversial form of psychotherapy that proposes a relationship between a persons emotion, thoughts and behaviour with sensory stimulation [sound, sight, feel, taste and smell].

But medicinal therapy aside, NLP is a successful model for personal development and motivation, and can be used to explain why, for example, people are motivated by certain pieces of music or particular smells.

Some of Anthony Robbins well know systems based on NLP include Get the Edge!, Personal Power and Lessons in Mastery.

Robbins is also founder of the Anthony Robbins Foundation, which empowers students and helps prisoners improve their lives.

Anthony Robbins has dedicated his life to creating and implementing strategies for the extraordinary quality of life desired by individuals and organizations throughout the world.

For more than a quarter of a century, Anthony Robbins has served as an advisor to leaders around the world. A recognized authority on the psychology of leadership, negotiations, organizational turnaround, and peak performance, Anthony Robbins has been honored for his strategic intellect and humanitarian endeavors. He has produced the #1 audio coaching system of all time and has directly impacted the lives of nearly 50 million people from 80 countries with his best-selling books and audiotape products, public speaking engagements, and live appearances. And the best thing is that all of Robbins knowledge on how to be a success has been captured in the training systems and resources he’s developed over the years. His seminars are world-famous and well worth attending if you can do so – everyone who attends these seminars are totally hooked on self-belief and how they can succeed.

But if you can’t go to his seminars, you can still obtain this wealth of knowledge from the books and programs Robbins has developed, including the world famous Get The Edge! and Get the Body You Deserve!
