Anthony Robbins
 
I recently got hired in an small independent bookstore, so Im there by myself looking around at things and I see "how to awaken your inner giant". I figured I'd give it a browse and laugh at the fact that the sheep fall for this self-help bullshit.

So I started reading somewhere in the middle and it was some section on how Elvis' life at the end was miserable, he was miserable and wanted to die, and then Tony is talking about stuff that makes sense and seems good.

Then I go to the front and the book seems alright. Like maybe he is onto something.

I havent really read much. But Im wondering if anyone knows of negative things regarding him or his book.

He is on to something. But he didn't come up with any of it. It is called NLP and it was invented by John Grinder after modelling the language patterns of Noam Chomsky, Milton Erickson, Virginia Satir, Fritz Perls, Gregory Bateson, and dozens of others. The Awaken the Giant book is a commercialized and very oversimplified version of NLP.

Oh you wanted negative. Well, all of his seminars cost 5 times more than the typical nlp seminar of the same duration but you only get half the benefits.

I really havent read much but NLP is neuro-linguistic programming right? That is roughly speaking to people in a way that can control their feelings right?
