Motivation by Tony Robbins

Michael What I wanted to get off my chest: To motivate myself, I often listen to motivational tapes from my favorite guru, Anthony Robbins (he's the one who always shouts: "Make a difference today! Take action! Now!"), and since then, things have only been going uphill. So, I highly recommend it: In America, you can find tapes for everything and anything in every bookstore, like how to negotiate better, overcome fears, and plan career success. You can conveniently listen to these tapes in the car or on public transport with a Walkman and arrive at the office all fired up.

Anthony Robbins is the most well-known among the motivators; he also offers courses where you learn to walk over hot coals, all a matter of motivation. He also gives useful fitness tips; for example, on one tape, he mentioned that you should drink a lot of freshly squeezed fruit juice--and, bam! We bought a juicer, a $160 piece that quickly juices fresh grapefruits and oranges, and now we often drink half-liter amounts of fruit juice. Man, it tastes incredible, I tell you, and gives you energy to unroot trees! Unfortunately, you have to spend five minutes cleaning the juicer afterward, but the juice makes up for everything, it's so creamy and amazing. Jogging on the beach is also supposed to be healthy, so from now on, every Tuesday and Thursday, before I start working from home, I'll drive to the beach (20 minutes) and run for an hour in the sand, just past the incoming waves. Well, just fully Americanized, the man.
