The problem with Tony Robbins...

is that he's peddling dangerously wrong beliefs to gullible rubes.

A coworker came back from one his events telling me all sorts of fruity crap. Like how the germ theory for disease is bunk. So apparently I gave myself cancer with negative thoughts (blame the victim).

That flipped my bozo bit for Tony Robbins.

I love gifted, charismatic, motivational speakers. Sometimes called leaders or actors or politicians. But they shouldn't profit from causing others harm.
