Tony Robbins discusses the "invisible forces" that make us do what we do -- and high-fives Al Gore in the front row.

  • I tried to fly after watching this, I climbed up on my roof and jumped off. And guess what I did it ! I CAN fly NOW ! Its so cool, I save like 500 bucks on bus passes every year. Yesterday I built a computer out of a pile of sand, I just said "you can do it, you can do it" TADA here Iam typing on that mofo right now.

  • @myopium You're right "THINKING" wont do a damn thing! DOING something WILL! And the "background" I come from summarized is... grew up with no vehicle in the family, my dad struggling to RENT a trailer in a trailer park..Dollar stores and kmart for clothes..WHEN we could afford it. My brother and sister high school dropouts and my parents also dropped out. No college education. My mom didnt work. But I STILL achieved what I set out to do and more still to come..BECAUSE I took ACTION repeatedly

  • @drivingbible Your religion contradicts your statement and you are so small minded that you don't even realize it. If I were try to explain this to you, you would not listen to a word; rather, you would simply debate it, as you will with this reply. One day, you will understand. Lucky for you, it's not a race.

  • this is all bullshit. it's not emotion. emotion is only IF and WHEN things are happening ALREADY. BEFORE emotion is chosen destiny. if you're not choosen, then you can have all the emotion you want and not get nothing and nowhere. destiny. chosen. and this is not up to you but to higher power.

  • I'm kind of glad Tony did a Ted talk simply for the negative comments he receives. I think people like him (who make reportedly $50 million per year off people's vulnerabilities) need to be critiqued and examined. I mean some of what he says is ok, but a lot of it is just fluff, it's not science or anything that really helps people longterm. What's more, this motivational speaking stuff has been around for centuries, it's getting old now. Time for the TED revolution I say.

  • You can be HAPPY and RICH its your birth right !!!!!

  • Please try to translate these very valuable videos. cause I really hope to spreed them in my beloved country (EGYPT)

  • You're kidding me? TED invited this scam artist to give a talk?

  • the fact ADULTS need a 'Tony Robbins' to help lift them out of their slumber tells me we are failing our kids!

    ADULTS are a waste of time (they need to be deprogrammed first) the effort should go into educating the KIDs properly from the word go.

    What we know about how the brain operates suggests ADVERTISING and MEDIA are a big part of the problem.

    The facts we know about how the right and left brain respond to stimuli suggests a complete OVERHAUL of the BS western public school system.

  • I clicked on the top ten TED talks and got Tony Robbins?
