Review of Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru (2016) by Rose B — 20 Jul 2016

I finally found out why my good instincts told me that these type of motivational seminars are idiotic. I finally watched the documentary and then felt disturbed and embarrassed by the creepy level of emotional manipulation and hype saturated in this seminar.

It felt like a sad combination of Jerry Springer / Dr. Phil goes super evangelistic. The audience is hyped to the hilt by professional "hype pros" long before Tony steps on to the stage and it's a total "I Now Agree with Everything Tony Robbins is Saying!!!!".

Let's face it, who can say "No" to anything when 2500 people are hyped like monkeys on steroids? Then Mr. Robbins actually manipulates a guy to start roaring like a lion for his sexually dissatisfied girlfriend, and then we are supposed to believe the guy's life will be forever changed after the seminar runs its course.

If this is what we're dummying-down to as a human race to feel good about who we are as human beings, we are in big trouble.?
