No need to apologise Chaos. It's an interesting and sensible post.
No need to apologise Chaos. It's an interesting and sensible post.i haven't been cos i generally refuse to look at self help stuff. (covered this in the psychology thread in "general")
from what you say, that stuff about pleasure and pain is basic psychology, conditioning in fact. Pavlov did it with his dogs.
and incorrect (imo) about the will power. Anything that involves you doing something that you don't want to do involves willpower, unless you love your job SOO much, even just the act of getting up at *time* in the morning just to go to work takes willpower.
Smoking (for smoker) is an enjoyable behaviour, unless you manage to reshape thought around smoking, the only way you will be able to stop is via self-regulation/self control/willpower. The more times you're able to stop the more likely you will continue to abstain... also, what generally happens with 'reformed" smokers is that the enjoyment of cigarettes hasn't decreased at all, what's changed is that either
a/ the smoking as a rewarding behaviour has decreased OR
b/ that the NOT smoking behaviour has become more desirable.
--> check out the Premack Principle for this one....
--> also check out Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for the cognitive restructuring..
what i think about self help, is that the people who benefit are most likely the people who probably could've done it themselves, and the people who don't are the people who went looking for somebody else to blame..
repetition isn't the mother of all skills, perfect repetition is.
anybody can swing a golf club 1000 times.... question is whether you can do it perfectly every time even when you're tired.
what i feel people gain the most (the ones who can't do it alone) they need a large group in order to feel that they have others who are trying to do what they're doing. I mean really people don't HAVE to go to church to listen to sermons, they could technically preach to themselves at home.
... sorry i can never keep posts short ^^"
Tony Robbins is at the top of his game, earning ONE MILLION dollars for personal coaching and that doesn’t include the 50 million dollars a year with the Anthony Robbins Companies’ sales. His fees are the highest in the business.

WOW ....... He must be good !
In Shallow Hal Robbins appears in a scene with Jack Black in an elevator and Robbins hypnotizes Black in order to change his mental state. Black then sees people's outward appearance based on their inner personality. During the scene, Black refers to Robbins' hands as "banana hands". Robbins' wife Sage, also has a cameo appearance in the movie.
Anthony Robbins was born Anthony J. Mahavorick at North Hollywood, California, United States of America on 29th of February 1960. He was 51 a few days ago.
Having been to many of these kind of "motivational speakers" I must say Tony Robbins is the best at what they have to offer.
Sounds more like a religion.

I like watching, listening and reading about successful people and it appears to me what they all have in common is they have something many people want. If you have Wing Wongs for a goose's bridle selling at a buck each and a million people want Wing Wongs for their goose's bridle then that is millionaire stuff.
If you have energy, charisma, high self esteem, inner strength, knowledge and belief then people are attracted to that too.
I occasionally thought I was ill when out seeking enlightenment and personal mind growth. Why would one be seeking such if they were not ill. Truth was I inherited a guilt complex and thought I had done so many people wrong. Truth was I was introverted and weak so feared many people and situations. Truth was I was trying to keep friends by folding to peer group pressure. Truth was I was nervous under scrutiny and would make mistakes. Truth was I felt inferior to anyone more intelligent or larger framed.
So people like Anthony (though I have never met him before) open doors to places that people wanting to improve their lives can walk through into a new world. For as the saying goes ... With our thoughts we make the world.
Wondering why Garpy thinks Robbins is not a good thing for the human race?And in the beginning was the word, and the word was robbins....
Gimme a break

Going back a while and a different person now.
In a primitive way, bullies would sense my weakness and prey on me. I notice that happens to other weaker beings also. Preying on the weak. My best personal growth came when I punched a few. One case had a loosed tooth and never picked on me again while the other ended up with a red rosey face and a whimper. For some reason I don't get hassled nowadays. Like I said ... my best personal growth.
