Tony Robbins: think about it…
We all know who this guy is right? Every other night he’s on TV real late (here in Australia anyway) telling us that in order for us to live successful, fulfilling lives we first need to come pray at the temple of Tony.
Let me get right to the point, at best i think the whole idea behind Tony Robbins’ self help motivational crap is a bit contrived, somewhat dishonest and contains a lot of inconsistencies. At worst I think Anthony Robbins is an absolute rotten scumbag.
First of all, he claims he gets joy out of helping people. He claims anyone can use his system to improve their life in some way. I think it goes more like this; he gets money out of helping people, anyone who can afford to give him a few hundred bucks for some overpriced crud can use his system to alter their own life in some way (possibly just by making them a few hundred bucks closer to derelict, plus positively). But seriously, his busines plan really only includes helping himself, a few celebrities who’ll say they used his system or his guidance in some non-descript way for a quick $10K, and i guess a few ad agencies and hotel conference facilities.
His basic pitch is that by changing your attitude, your life will become better in every way. He uses himself as the prime example.
For me this poses a huge problem, if enough people try to follow in his footsteps and become a big success just like him, the global economy will grind to a positively affirmed halt and society will decay into nothing more than 6 billion positive thinking, self centered, useless morons.
How the hell can everyone be like Tony Robbins and be a mega rich motivational speaker? Who will they motivate? There’s only room for a handful of successful motivational speakers per country at most. Any more than that would require a massive increase in the number of hopeless and impressionable idiots in the population. I understand that this section of society is expanding, but not fast enough. Eventually there’d only be two types of people, the motivators and their faithful herds of morons. What would happen then? It’s just not sustainable. Who would be doing the useful and necesary tasks required to maintain and propel humanity?
Ok, so maybe you’re thinking other people can use his example, but apply it to other professions and areas of life, so it will work out and Tony Robbins doesn’t suck…
Wrong. He definitely does. The other examples that are given in the ads come in only 2 varieties: super succesful celebrities, and regular joes who’ve managed to make some minor improvement in their life. This almost proves the whole thing is a scam.
One of the celebrities who claims Tony helped him achieve is Quincy Jones. Quincy Jones had already produced the highest selling album in history when TonyRobbins was still sitting as like a fat, unmotivated gastropod, yet to transform himself using the power within.
But what about the regular people who claim to have used his system? If there’s even one quarter as much worth in the books and CDs as Robbins claims, these people are complete failures.
Using his system, you’re supposed to able to become super-rich and succesful in every way. Incredible physical strength and physique, total mental toughness and confidence, huge bank balance and financial independence, oceans of respect and social status, plus a really hot spouse are all to be expected by people who listen to this guy.
Instead of this superhero-like life transformation, these people are achieving ‘amazing’ things such as:
- losing 15 pounds
- reaching some minor career milestone
- improving relations with their loved ones
- finally fulfilling their dream of mastering the pogo stick.
Weren’t they paying attention when they had the CD on? Is this what they achieved on day 1 only?
Why choose to only lose 15 pounds when they could have easily become Mr. Universe with the help of TR…
I don’t get it. Oh no, wait… I do.
Tony Robbins is a rotten scumbag.
