Why we do what we do, and how can we do it better

Tony Robbins discusses the “invisible forces” that motivate everyone’s actions. I have placed a video for your indulgence as you watch him in action and deals on the topic on “why we do what we do, and how can we do it better”.
Tony Robbins might have one of the world’s most famous smiles; his beaming confidence has helped sell his best-selling line of self-help books, and fill even his 10,000-seat seminars. What’s less known about the iconic motivational speaker is the range and stature of his personal clients. From CEO’s to heads of state to Olympic athletes, a wide swath of high-performing professionals look to him for help reaching their full potential.
Some of his techniques — firewalking, for example — are magnets for criticism, but his underlying message is unassailable: We all have the ability to make a positive impact on the world, and it’s up to us, as individuals, to overcome our fears and foibles to reach that potential.
Robbins has won many accolades for his work — including his memorable performance in the Jack Black comedy Shallow Hal. (It was a small but vital role.) His Anthony Robbins Foundation works with the homeless, elderly and inner-city youth, and feeds more than 2 million people annually through its International Basket Brigade.
“What Tony delivers is an ever crescendoing call-and-response oratory that often gives the proceedings a teetering, Pentecostal kind of energy. ” - GQ

This is a great summary of what Tony Robbins is all about. I recently watched this talk and was reminded and amazed of how powerfully he talks. His self-definition of being the “why?” guy gave me a lot to think about. I continue to forget about the power of the mind in my daily life and I thank you (and Tony) for the reminder.
