Does anybody know where Anthony Robbins is these days?
I mean the guy was ubiquitous on TV just a year or so ago.He made it seem as though his audiences were overflowing with praise for him.Has he turned into a GWB incarnation or worse, an Amway salesman?

1. He's still hawking his tapes on one of the
home shopping channels.

2. Get up early any Saturday or Sunday morning...
...and flip through the channels...You'll find him there somewhere.

4. I'm working on the Robbins tour.
We were in N.J. at the Meadowlands last week and we will be in Palm Springs Dec 4th-10th. Why you would want to know is beyond me. The guy is a scam artist. You ever seen one of his live shows? Every show he does is setup to make you feel like if you just spend a little more money on his "products" and live shows you'll get the life you "deserve". He uses slight brainwashing and cult techniques to get ahold of weak minded people and suck them dry financially. The sad thing is he's attracting more and more people every year, especially overseas. Here in the states he averages (in spite of what he tells you) about 1200 people. In Europe he gets in the 10 thousands. I've been doing the live shows for 8 years, the only thing good I can say about him is the checks don't bounce...

6. And dollars to donuts...
...every one of those weak minded people in the states voted for the chimp. They are the same people that write huge checks to Falwell, and Roberts. It's because they want a little happiness, and peace of mind, and are prey for unscrupulous people who package it as hope.

7. Robbins supported Clinton and Gore
I haven't heard if he supported Kerry, but it would seem logical.

Unlike most of the motivational speakers, he also puts a significant amount of money into philanthropy. That's unheard of in that industry.

You can also get all his stuff free on P-2-P.

Robbins' organization is one of those half-full-half-empty things ...
