Anthony J. Mahavorick, also known as Tony Robbins, pen name Anthony Robbins, (born on 29 February 1960 in Glendora, California, USA) is an American life coach, writer, and professional speaker. Robbins has authored a number of books, including Unlimited Power and Awaken the Giant Within. His best known tape program is Personal Power II; other programs include Get the Edge! and Lessons in Mastery.
Neuro-linguistic programming: Anthony Robbins is the inventor and proponent of what he refers to as neuroassociative conditioning, which is based on Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). Robbins studied NLP under NLP co-founder John Grinder, who encouraged him to look into the firewalking experience, which became the foundation of his popular firewalk seminars. The book Unlimited Power offers a number of examples of how to employ elements of NLP in day to day situations.
Robbins also conducts seminars, the most famous of which is his four-day Unleash the Power Within seminar, during which the participants walk over hot coals in bare feet. The aim of the seminar, demonstrated in the firewalk, is to illustrate that the main quality shared by those who achieve greatness is the ability to take action ('Personal Power'). Robbins' philosophy asserts that fear often holds people back from achieving what they want with their life, and that fear is a more powerful motivator than desire or attraction. Walking safely on burning coals requires no special physical skills, but it does require the mental discipline to overcome one's inner doubts. Applying that same principle to other aspects of life can, Robbins claims, empower the individual to attempt tasks he or she would previously (erroneously) have considered impossible.
Recently, Robbins has appeared at many of The Learning Annex Real Estate Wealth Expos wherein he is a headline speaker and at the Technology, Entertainment & Design (TED conference) conference alongside Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Malcolm Gladwell, and Jeff Bezos.
Techniques: Among the techniques Robbins teaches are the following:
* Altering the body's physiology to achieve a change of emotional state. * Asking specific questions to direct one's attention to aspects of human experience that create a more favorable psychology. * Getting leverage to create change by associating a person's old behavior with massive pain and the desired new behavior with massive pleasure. * Interrupting one's limiting pattern by doing something totally unexpected. * Conditioning behavior by visualizing it over and over again. * Goal-setting * Creating a compelling future, vividly imagining one's end result to generate enthusiasm and power to work towards one's goals.
"Success is doing what you want to do, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, as much as you want."
"A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.”
"Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy. Human beings have the awesome ability to take any experience of their lives and create a meaning that disempowers them or one that can literally save their lives.”
"I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those people who live what they teach, who walk their talk.”
"If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.”
"In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.”
"It is not what we get. But who we become, what we contribute... that gives meaning to our lives.”
"It's not knowing what to do, it's doing what you know.”

"Once you have mastered time, you will understand how true it is that most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year - and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade!”
"One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.”
"People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals - that is, goals that do not inspire them.”
"Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.”
"The higher your energy level, the more efficient your body. The more efficient your body, the better you feel and the more you will use your talent to produce outstanding results.”

"There is no such thing as failure. There are only results.”
"We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.”

"Live with passion!”

"Goals are a means to an end, not the ultimate purpose of our lives. They are simply a tool to concentrate our focus and move us in a direction. The only reason we really pursue goals is to cause ourselves to expand and grow. Achieving goals by themselves will never make us happy in the long term; it's who you become, as you overcome the obstacles necessary to achieve your goals, that can give you the deepest and most long-lasting sense of fulfillment."
