Has anyone used the Tony Robbins tapes or Seminars?

[jcrew2001]

I've seen the commercials and have always been intrigued by his products. I just bought an audio cd from amazon and it was pretty cool. Its not just the techniques that he espouses, but his energy level is infectious. I would say its similar to the support that one can get from church or from the family, but Robbins does it in a very focused manner.

Has anyone had positive or negative experiences to his products?

I hear his seminars are very expensive, so I won't be going to any of those. But they seem really cool.

1. They have made terrific

bookends

I've listened to the tapes or part of them, I got them free somewhere, sold them at a garage sale several years ago.

He's infectious.

If you are really interested in his techniques read anything by Bandler and Grinder http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Bandler

Tony uses a dumbed down version of neurolinguistic programming.

It is a repackaged name for hypnosis that came from Bandler and Grinder. They are interesting in that they studied Milton Erickson, considered to be the guru in the modern clinical hypnosis ranks.

They basically studied how he did what he did (he was amazing in terms of helping people with his words, an artist at it.) and attempted to create a way to model his behavior as well as others behaviors in how they went about helping people.

Robbins studied a lot of authors, but his book "Unlimited Power" was very much NLP oriented.

:shrug:

he's making money at what he does, he is infectious in his enthusiasm and that in itself is salable, whether it is transferable to persons always, I dunno.

I'd like to go to one of his workshops where everyone walks on hot coals. I believe that if he could get me to do that and not get burned badly he would have convinced me of something, although I'm not sure what... :P

2. I like the cd's and hopefully i can find the personal power set

at a garage sale. It sells for $299 - 24 CD's, I can't imagine why someone would need 24 CD's but If i can buy it cheap, I want to give it a try. I think its called personal power 2.
