Tony Robbins
The Catalyst
Ideas with a spark, energy, range and the ability to start things.
Tony Robbins reads as The Catalyst because his entire method is acceleration. A performance coach and entrepreneur, he leads by compressing the distance between where people are and where they intend to be, supplying the activation energy for change rather than managing its aftermath.
“Given up feeling anxious about it. And it just like forget it. I'm not going to get to it. So here's the question for you, and you don't have to answer it, but hang out with it. A couple questions. The first might be something like, when did you start feeling overwhelmed? How long have you felt overwhelmed?”
“As I did all the time. And I remember saying to her, just stick a fork in me. I'm fucking done. Put me in the hospital, throw away the key. And, you know, to be clear, the threat was real because when I was 18, I did try to kill myself. And so no fooling around here, right? I mean, this isn't just some idle ideation going on here.”
“I mentioned the suicide attempt. I was 18 and I had on January 2nd, something about the number two, right? January 2nd, I guess 1981, I'm losing track of the time. I had just turned 18 and I tried to kill myself. I cut my wrists and first went to, I was taken to the emergency room, Jamaica Hospital. The Trump pavilion.”
“So I went down to Canyon Ranch and I read these books Let Your Life Speak Holy I've actually not been listening to my life and I started to spend the next few months. It was the beginning of my meditation practice. First meditated a canyon ranch. And I would argue first began listening to my life, to my heart.”
