Early life

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

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.

His talk is 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]
