Anthony Robbins

[bluenix]

While I myself have never so much as listened to a Robbins tape, a friend of mine has reached "master facilitator" status at AR's international events and goes off to Fiji, Hawaii or wherever on a regular basis.

 

My friend is intelligent, fairly well centered and has a very high opinion of Robbins. Says he, Robbins is a genius at relationships. For whatever that's worth.

There have been quite a few people, at work, who have suggested I listen to this self help / motivation guru's CDs. I have been hesitant because I do not understand how listening to 8 (or whatever the number) discs are going to make some dramatic difference in the way I live my life. Yet these co-workers live by the guy.

 

I am wondering if people within this forum have any experience or thoughts on his seminars / discs?

 

Cheers! Ritchie

Haven't heard the cd's.

 

I cannot even bear the infomercials.

I've not listened to Anthony Robbins (too many teeth), but I gained a lot from listening to the complete set of tapes "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Dr. Steven Covey.

 

Its mostly common sense, but it never hurts to sharpen the saw.

My only experience with Anthony Robbins is seeing him in "Shallow hal" He's the one who hypnotizes guys into seeing people's 'onner beauty'

I found Robbins to be a lot of hype and fluff.

 

But, I agree with Hooboy on Covey. I've been through his seminar twice - one in person and once on video tape. It is a lot of common sense but it did help me focus and fine-tune elements of my life.

 

BTW, the Covey sons are drop dead beautiful. I like them almost as much as Donny Osmond. :+

Stick with Oprah and Dr. Phil. Robbins is a crook. Its all about selling a product and then getting others to sell it for you. And I agree with HooBoy. Covey is dynamite.
