Tony Robbins is a well-known American author, motivational speaker, and life coach. Born Anthony J. Mahavoric on February 29, 1960, in North Hollywood, California, he’s built a massive following through his high-energy seminars, self-help books, and personal development programs. He’s famous for works like Unlimited Power (1986) and Awaken the Giant Within (1991), where he dives into strategies for mastering emotions, finances, relationships, and overall life goals. His events, like "Unleash the Power Within," often feature intense experiences—think fire-walking—to push people past their limits.

Robbins grew up in a tough spot, with a chaotic home life and no college education, but he turned it around by diving into personal growth. He got his start promoting seminars for Jim Rohn, another big name in motivation, before striking out on his own. Over the years, he’s coached everyone from everyday folks to big shots like Bill Clinton and Oprah Winfrey. His style mixes neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), psychology, and a lot of charisma—people either love him or find him over-the-top.

He’s also got a business empire, with stakes in companies spanning tech, health, and sports, reportedly worth hundreds of millions. Plus, through his foundation, he’s donated tons to causes like hunger relief—claims to have provided over a billion meals. Still, he’s not without critics; some call his methods overhyped or question his personal life, like his two marriages and past controversies. Either way, he’s a polarizing figure who’s left a huge mark on the self-help world. What do you think about him?
