A famous life coach who hit a snag when his tactics for creating change failed in the long term, in addition to his business parter running off with a giant chunk of his money. However, he bounced back by practicing what he preached and learning from his mistakes: he modified his techniques to work, and he turned his business around.

Today, he runs THE self-help seminar series, Unleash The Power Within, a four-day twelve-hours-a-day seminar that's a crash course is psychology, emotional stability, goal setting/prioritizing, and setting up your Master System of decisions: your physiological states, your habitual questions and vocabulary, your values (what you think leads to pleasure or pain), your beliefs and rules (your sense of certainty about things leading to pleasure or pain and when you know you've reached them), and references (interpretations about past experiences). The seminar is full of rock concert/dance party interludes, interactive exercises, live interventions, shouting back answers, and Day 1 ends with walking on hot coals to prove to yourself that anything that looks dangerous can be quite safe with the right standards, beliefs, and strategies. Also, he's wickedly funny, telling a steady stream of jokes throughout his seminars.

However, Robbins has quite a lot of detractors due to his cult-like following, his outrageous prices, and his own past failures mentioned above (and then some). Plus, they do the one thing Robbins advises you never do: whenever people fail after reading one of his books or going to one of his seminars, they blame Robbins for not "fixing them."

However, Robbins does not believe in surface changes: Robbins' way of thinking is that the only way to change our behaviors is to change the beliefs, our senses of certainty of what will lead to pleasure or pain, underneath all of our behaviors. If we change the behavior and not the belief, we will slip back into our old behaviors, but if we change the belief, behavioral changes follow.

If it weren't for Anthony Robbins, I would not be here.
