When I watch the infomercial and see Tony do the Judo chop through the planks of wood, I just want to stand up and cheer.

five years pass...

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.

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.

New: footage shows self-help guru Tony Robbins using the n-word repeatedly and describing how he responded to a skeptical female participant by getting “in her face” and kissing her. https://t.co/u8EQFi4zr3
