Tony has shared his personal story of rags to riches with the world through his seminars, as well as his audio and video learning series and books. He is well known for producing results with quick turnarounds, and his sensational style. Tony's ability to help people quickly turn around any area of their lives is legendary.



In the 2001 comedy movie, Shallow Hal, Tony plays himself, and pokes fun at his ability to change people's lives. He hypnotizes Jack Black's character into seeing the world in a different way.

What Robbins may be most famous for are his infomercials, offering his Personal Power home audio course. This course may best be described as a complete approach to personal change.

With Personal Power, Tony's program brings together a number of different systems and techniques that people can use to change anything they want about their lives. It is packaged up in an audio course, which he personally recorded. This definitely gives it a personal touch and a flavor all its own.

During the course, you get to hear Tony describe his techniques along with his personal story. I found this course to be extremely effective. Tony tends to be very animated, and his presence comes through, even in audio. It's an entertaining and results oriented program, but it's very demanding so be prepared.

Personal development gurus had been around for some time, but many of the programs were rather stiff, and impersonal. Tony moved motivation up to a more personal level. and emphasized speed and results over the traditional therapy methods. In addition, he made his sysem available to the masses.

What normally was reserved for high powered executives and corporations, Tony brought to you and me. He created a system that could work for everyone, yet was individualized. In effect, he introduced us to the concept of being our own personal life coach, before we even knew what that was.

Before the Anthony Robbins home course, Personal Power, and its updated version Personal Power 2, many of Tony's techniques were outlined in his books. In Unlimited Power, for example, Tony describes neuro linguistic programming, or NLP, upon which a lot of his techniques are based.

NLP is used to create dramatic life change. It's a results focused, highly flexible, and highly individual system for personal growth.

Tony describes how his NLP based techniques can empower us to take control of our lives and our futures. In fact, he tells you that if you master an understanding of how your brain works, you can become your own therapist and personal consultant. Tony says that you actually go beyond therapy, and are able to change any feeling or behavior for yourself in just moments.

If you're looking for both quick and lasting change, I recommend you look into these methods and see if they fit. I found the convenience of an audio series that you can use at home to become your very own coach a valuable tool.

Anthony Robbins has many loyal followers, as well as many detractors. While his methods are powerful, in my opinion his most powerful methods work best if you're good at visualizing. If not, then you may have to work a little harder in order to get substantial results. If you are looking to make sweeping changes and willing to work for it, then Anthony Robbins and his personal power techniques are for you.
