He is deeply influenced by neuro-linguistic programming technique and a variety of philosophies.

Books

Robbins has published two best-selling books, Unlimited Power and Awaken the Giant Within.
Unlimited Power, published in 1987, discusses the topics of health and energy, overcoming fears, persuasive communication, and enhancing relationships.^[33]

One reviewer called the book "uplifting and idealistic" and referenced the "dynamic enthusiasm" of the book;"^[34] and another describes Robbins as “a persuasive communicator who spends more linage on step-by-step details of his recommendations than in self-boosterism."^[35] while another reviewer said it's "too wordy" and "reads like a transcript of a series of talks."^[36]

Other reviewers dispute the book's originality, pointing to ideological similarities with Maxwell Maltz, Norman Vincent Peale, Napoleon Hill, and Dale Carnegie, all of whom Robbins acknowledges in his book.^[37]

Some have criticized the chapter called "Energy: The Fuel of Excellence" which includes information on food combining, lymphology, and deep breathing to promote health.

Robbins makes reference to the book Fit for Life and its authors, Harvey and Marilyn Diamond, whom he refers to as his "former partners".^[38]

The National Council for Reliable Health Information wrote a critical review of the chapter and called his sources unreliable.^[39]^[40]

Awaken the Giant Within, published in 1992, was an expansion of his personal development techniques and strategies taught through a motivational self-help type approach.

Robbins made the distinction between his techniques, coined as Neuro-Associative Conditioning as distinct from Neuro-Linguistic Programming because the trademarked difference is defined by the application of "conditioning" to a newly learned personal development technique and/or skill or strategy rather than "being programmed" and suggest-ably fixed once and for all by someone else who had more power than the individual to make a change.^[41]

Television and film

Robbins has cameo roles in the 2001 movie Shallow Hal, the 1994 movie Reality Bites, three episodes of The Roseanne Show and an episode of The Sopranos.^[42]

In July 2010, NBC debuted Breakthrough with Tony Robbins, a reality show that followed Robbins as he helped the show's participants face their personal challenges.^[43]^[44]

ABC canceled the show, after airing two of the planned six episodes, due to low viewership of 2.8 million.^[45]

In March 2012 the OWN Network picked the show up for another season beginning with the original first season set to re-run and thereafter leading directly into the new 2012 season.^[46]

In April 2012, Robbins began co-hosting "Oprah's Lifeclass" on the OWN Network^[47]

Celebrity status

In his book Awaken the Giant Within, Robbins recalls meetings with various celebrities, saying he was a student of their success.

People he mentioned were Nelson Mandela, Mikhail Gorbachev, Bill Clinton, Margaret Thatcher, François Mitterrand, and Princess Diana.^[63]

In Robbins' infomercials, celebrity appearances were made by Fran Tarkenton, Pamela Anderson, Quincy Jones, Erin Brockovich and Anthony Hopkins. Robbins stated that they came without any compensation.^[64]

Occupation	Author Actor Professional speaker Peak Performance Coach
Years active	1978–present
Influenced by	Jim Rohn
Height	6 ft 7 in (2.01 m)^[1]^[2]
Spouse(s)	Becky Robbins (m. 1982–2001) Sage Robbins (m. 2002)

Early life

Robbins was born Anthony J. Mahavorick in North Hollywood, California, on February 29, 1960.

His surname was originally spelt Mohorovic and is of Croatian origin.

He later moved to Azusa, California, and attended Glendora High School.

Robbins says that he lived in a small low-rent apartment in the Los Angeles area during his early twenties and had dreamed of living in a mansion for years.

In 1984, as his career began to take off, he bought the Del Mar Castle, designed by Richard Requa, for $1.7M.

He sold the property in 1988 for $3.25M.^[14]

Career

Robbins began his career promoting seminars for Jim Rohn.

According to Robbins, Rohn taught him that "happiness and success in life are not the result of what we have, but rather of how we live.

What we do with the things we have makes the biggest difference in the quality of life."^[15]

Later Robbins began his own work as a self-help coach. He taught neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and Ericksonian Hypnosis after training with NLP co-founder John Grinder.

In 1983, Robbins learned to firewalk from Tolly Burkan^[16] and began to incorporate it into his seminars.^[17]^[18]

Robbins promoted his services as a "peak performance coach" through his books and TV infomercials, gaining strong public recognition and lucrative sales.

He conducts a large range of seminars and live events around the world dedicated to achieving greatness in his participants by unleashing their personal power and helping them align their values with their individual life goals.^[19]

In 1997, Robbins began the Leadership Academy seminar, in which participants learn to "[c]reate an identity for them self as someone who can help 'anyone', no matter what his/her challenge may be."^[20]

Robbins is a featured speaker on the seminar circuit sponsored by Learning Annex.

Robbins appeared as a featured speaker at the 2007 Technology, Entertainment and Design (TED) conference.

Till 2008 his talk was among the top ten TED talks viewed online.^[21]

Robbins is involved with the Robbins-Madanes Center for Strategic Intervention, which focuses on personal, family and organizational psychology, and claims to help people "find breakthrough strategies and solutions for overcoming the problems that confront us all."^[22]

Seminars

Robbins also conducts seminars, including his four-day Unleash the Power Within (UPW) seminar, Mastery University and Business Mastery.^[23]^[24]^[25]

The UPW is also known as his firewalk seminar, during which the participants walk barefoot over hot coals at the end of the first evening.

The aim of the seminar, demonstrated in the firewalk, is to illustrate that the main quality shared by those who achieve greatness is the ability to take action ("Personal Power").^[26]

Mastery University is promoted at the UPW seminar.^[23]^[24]

Mastery University is composed of three seminars:

Life Mastery, espouses Robbins' ideas about what makes for a healthy lifestyle, and has in the past featured guest lecturers including Deepak Chopra and John Gray.

Wealth Mastery, espouses Robbins' ideas about what makes for a wealthy lifestyle.

Date With Destiny, the only Mastery event at which Robbins is present for the entire event, is said to be designed to help participants align their values so that they are not in conflict, but rather are aligned with the participant's individual goals.^[27]

In 1997, Robbins initiated his Leadership Academy seminar,^[28] in which he invites participants to learn the skills he uses, with the stated goal of the program to enable the participant to "[c]reate an identity for yourself as someone who can help 'anyone', no matter what his/her challenge may be".^[20]

In 2009 Robbins created his Business Mastery program,^[25] designed to provide business leaders with tools to manage and grow their businesses.

The seminar is conducted live by Robbins and features entrepreneur guest speakers. Past speakers have included Steve Wynn, CEO of Wynn Resorts,^[29] Peter Guber (Chairman & CEO of Mandalay Entertainment Group)^[30] and Tony Hsieh (CEO and Founder of Zappos.com).^[31]^[32]

Les Brown~ "The Power to Change"

Leslie C. "Les" Brown (born February 17, 1945) is a motivational speaker, former Ohio politician, popular author, radio DJ, and former host of The Les Brown Show.

As a politician, he is a former member of the Ohio House of Representatives.^[1]

As a motivational speaker, he uses the catch phrase, "It's possible," and teaches people to follow their dreams as he learned to do.^[2]

Leslie Brown
Member of the Ohio House of Representatives from the 29th district
In office January 3, 1977-December 31, 1982
Preceded by	William Kopp
Succeeded by	Ray Miller
Personal details
Political party	Democratic

Early life

Les Brown was born with his twin brother Wesley on February 17, 1945 in a low-income section of Miami, Florida in an abandoned building.

He was subsequently given up for adoption and adopted by Mamie Brown, a then 38-year-old single woman who worked as a cafeteria attendant and domestic assistant.

He was declared "educ-ably mentally retarded" while in grade school.

Despite the obvious self-esteem issues this created, with the encouragement of his mother and assistance by a helpful teacher in high school, he learned how to reach his full potential, a key point in many motivational speeches he gives now.

Professional Life

As derived from many of Brown's speeches, he first decided to get into public radio and kept returning to the same radio station time and time again looking for a break, and it wasn't until the on-air failures of the afternoon DJ that he took his break in radio into his own hands and was hired full time as on-air talent.

Upon his termination from the radio station, he ran for election in the Ohio House of Representatives and won.

After leaving the Ohio state legislature, he decided to get into television and eventually ended up on PBS.

He also formed Les Brown Enterprises in order to support his newest career as a motivational speaker and is now also on KFWB in California on a daily syndicated radio program.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he also won many local and national awards for excellence and he has an Emmy to his name.

In 1993, he began hosting a new talk show, The Les Brown Show, which began airing on September 6, 1993.

After nearly four months, it went on hiatus on December 3, 1993,^[3] and on January 17, 1994, King World Productions replaced this with Rolonda, a show hosted by Rolonda Watts.^[4]

Personal life

Les Brown currently lives in the Columbus, Ohio area. He was married to Gladys Knight of Gladys Knight and the Pips in 1993 but divorced in 1997.

He markets a DVD for young people titled No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!.^[8]

In March 2008, Vujicic was interviewed by Bob Cummings for the 20/20 American television show.

Vujicic starred in the short film The Butterfly Circus, which won the Doorpost Film Project's top prize of 2009.^[9]
