In 1000-2000 years everyone will be talking about Anthony Robbins as the greatest philosopher like we do the Greeks today.

>teaches practical philosophy that actually works
>updated for the current times
>proven by millions worldwide and has saved thousands of lives from depression and suicide

Drop the ego, /lit/. Anthony Robbins is legit.

>> No.11026272

Bait.

That said, I think there is something to him, but I really don't know what it is. I've read, listened, and watched some of his stuff, and it all just seems like really vacuous, feel good nonsense. Yet he gets respect from philosophers, psychologists, and authors whose work I find a lot of value in, so there must be something of value there. I just have no idea what it is.

If I took Robbins quotes and put them under a picture of a Greek or Roman statue you would all say he's the greatest philosopher ever. But because he's our contemporary you show him no respect despite him proving himself time and time again. Fools indeed!

You can try to pass the greeks as self help literature all you want but there's much more to what Socrates was saying and that's why he was executed, try to read one of his books sometimes. Great ideas are timeless.

unironically I believe ROBERT GREEN will be still talked about in 1000-2000 years. His books are just so jam packed with practical wisdom. His books also contain summaries and the "best parts" of boring and or shit books. Reading 48 laws of power is like reading 14 other books, I'm serious.

I dunno about Robins, I think he's great and entertaining but his books might be a little fluffed up for page count. He should infact take all of his ideas and make a similar book to robert green. HELL , he should pay green to write his next book.
