Tony Robbins--Gettin' the Edge

Now I'm not defending the guy, nor did I start this thread to take cheap shots at people who buy into his program. Sure it's easy to call him a "21st century snake oil salesman"--but the guy has the ability to rouse people like crazy, which is a rare and interesting trait.

Also, those teeth.

I guess this is par for the course for motivational speakers, though.

I always feel inspired after seeing his infomercials. Granted, usually I am drunk or high and go on to eat some nachos and fall asleep. Today I am thinking a roast beef sandwich. I will make that sandwich and I will eat it. It will give me momentum, who knows what I'll make tommorrow when I take it to yet another level. Ravioli is not out of the question.

Oh and the best part of the infomercial is when he cries on the beach talking to a very large crowd of people. So classic!

Question: doesn't it look like he got a teeth reduction?

I found a book of his remaindered for two bucks and I started skimming it and then I bought it and now I am sucked in and am in the cult and getting the edge! Reading him means not looking at him.

It's not a scam as much as it's just peak-performance motivational stuff -- how to convince your mind and muscles to do things that help you instead of hinder you, that kind of thing. I was expecting something more cultish, but it's more like Flow theory with some secular Sri Chimnoy thrown in.

You all can come swim in my pool in Santa Monica when I get rich.

Of course.

I mean, when your LAWYERS are saying this about you:

“He was ’never intentionally naked’ in front of staff, his lawyers said in a letter. ‘To the extent that he may have been unclothed at various times...Mr. Robbins has no recollection.’”

Four more come forward. Robbins claims that he is a "better human being than I was in my twenties and thirties" (which is what all of these creeps say)

Seriously, fuck this guy.
