Has anyone ever attended an Anthony Robbins seminar? If so, what did you think?

How about the books? Helpful, not helpful?

Robbins rebranded and repackaged NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) created by Bandler and Grinder, calling it Neuro-Associative Conditioning. In a nutshell, the idea is to model effective behavior from either our past, or others, using an "anchoring" technique to deliver a message to our brain. It could be as simple as rubbing two fingers together that triggers the behavior through association.

Does it work? Probably. Use of NLP is an act of volition. I suspect that all of us behave with that type of stimuli, but its not something most people study. NLP in theory would allow you to have control.

I've read the first book, "Unlimited Power" and bought a tape set. It was more than a few years ago but I remember that I liked most of the material.

I could see salespeople using NLP skills to develop and maintain productive (positive, confident, etc.) attitudes.

About fifteen (15) years ago I attended one of Anthony's seminars. During the seminar we performed his famous "Firewalk" experience. Fun stuff.

I've heard about that before. I'll take it that you still have five toes on each foot?

Did anyone fry?

I think there might have been a few "non-believers" who felt the fire but I wasn't one of them. I think I might have lost an eyebrow or two though.

I wondered about that.

How did you like the seminar? Did you find it to be worthwhile? Would you recommend it to others?

It was a long time ago but I remember thinking it was "ok".

The "firewalk" was pretty hot.

As for a recommendation, I think it was too long ago to make a recommendation since I'm sure the material has evolved.
