While I was in college, I read Tony Robbins book called like ultimate power or something like that. It was basically his first book.

I noticed how he "urgently" pushes the notion that no matter who you are, and what station you are in life, that if you desperately want something very bad, there is a way to take steps to get there.

HIS BOOK basically just tries to hammer home that if you want to get from POINT A TO POINT B, you HAVE to actually DO SOMETHING, or copy EXACTLY WHAT someone else did to get to that point.

AFTER i read his book, I FELT A BIT BETRAYED BECAUSE I COULD SEE THAT IN MY OPINION, THE ONLY REASON HE WROTE THE BOOK WAS TO FIRST BENEFIT HIMSELF AND PAY HIS OWN BILLS.

SECONDLY, ANY EDUCATED/REASONABLY INTELLIGENT PERSON who reads the book is going to realize all he has done is WROTE IN A VERY ORGANIZED WAY, JUST BASIC COMMON-SENSE NOTIONS that every person should try to follow if they want to get ahead in life.

I FELT STUPID READING IT because I SAW THAT YOU CAN MAKE MILLIONS LIKE HE DID WITHOUT BEING EDUCATED AT ALL. IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THIS GUY (TONY ROBBINS) didn't even attend/or graduate college.

HE USED HIS NATURAL TALENT HE ALREADY HAD, which was to BE EMPATHETIC TOWARDS EVERYONE ELSE because FROM HIS VIEWPOINT, MOST PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES, THAT ARE WAY, WAY WORSE THAN HIS. HE WAS A VERY GOOD LOOKING GUY. HE USED his CHARM/CHARASMA to help people "not feel so bad" about themselves and to not give up hope (which is great).

BUT ULTIMATELY NOTHING IN HIS BOOK IS WORTH ANYTHING if YOU PERSONALLY DO NOT DECIDE TO "make a true effort" to make changes in your life.

The truth is though, he saw a market and did exactly what anyone else would have done.

OPRAH ALSO STILL DOMINATES IN THIS MARKET THAT CATERS TO PHENOMENALLY WEAK MINDED PEOPLE WHO CAN'T THINK FOR THEMSELVES AND CANNOT GIVE UP ADDICTIONS that keep their personal lives as crappy as possible.

OPRAH AND TONY ROBBINS PROBABLY LAUGH LIKE HELL behind people's backs. THE USA IS FULL OF MINDLESS / LOST/ SEVERELY handicapped people who DON'T KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO DO ANY SINGLE THING SUCCESSFUL AT ALL. starting with watching their weight, or just hanging around with people who are "positive/successful" type of persons.

IF YOU ARE A LOST/CONFUSED/DEPRESSED PERSON, IT LIKELY WON'T HURT AT ALL TO READ TONY ROBBINS BOOK BUT LATER ON you hopefully will see HE IS NOT SOME GENIOUS.

HIS GOAL IS JUST TO TALK COMMON SENSE INTO PEOPLE WHO TRULY NEED IT.

EMPATHY GETS YOU A LONG WAY THESE DAYS. (EVEN FAKE EMPATHY.)
