Anthony Robbins is probably one of the most recognizable self help authors today
because of his many appearances on infomercials and other media programs.
He is the author of two best selling self improvement books, but
is also known for his CD and DVD programs.
Robbins teaches various
techniques and exercises that are based in NLP, or neuro-linguistic
programming, that help people control their minds for better control
over their lives.
Background and Career of Anthony Robbins
Robbins was born on February 29, 1960 in California.
As a young
adult he found himself broke, overweight, and holding onto a dream
of some day living in a mansion.He eventually landed a job
promoting Jim Rohn seminars.
Jim Rohn was a popular motivational
speaker with his own rags-to-riches story, and he motivated Robbins
to find a way to fulfill his own dreams. Anthony Robbins went
on to become a self-help coach. He learned NLP under John Grinder,
one of its founders. He incorporated NLP and hypnosis into his
practice and also added firewalking after learning about it from
Tolly Burkan, an expert and spokesman for the firewalking movement.
As Robbins' coaching business grew, he branched out into
seminars and infomercials. He gained public recognition and his fame
and his sales skyrocketed. He was able to buy the first mansion of
his dreams in 1984.

Learning from
Anthony Robbins
Besides learning from books, audios, and
videos, many choose to attend live seminars hosted by Robbins. These
events are very popular and tend to sell out early. These sessions
are similar to the lectures given by Robbins on his infomercials and
DVDs, but when experienced in person, are very inspiring and
motivating. These are often multi-day events that conclude with
participants walking barefoot across burning coals.
For those unable
to attend live events and workshops, Robbins maintains a website and
community forum where his fans can discuss his work and stay
informed of his latest publications and seminars.
