Tony Robbins' Tour and Interview

Tony Robbins announces new tour dates, including a return to Atlanta's Fox Theatre on April 4th. Tickets go on sale on January 10th at 10:00 a.m. local time.
Tony Robbins is interviewed by Theo Von.

Tony Robbins discusses his daily routine and habits for personal growth and well-being.
He emphasizes the importance of discipline and consistency in practicing these habits.
Tony Robbins shares his "priming" routine, which includes a cold plunge, exercise, and a 10-minute process of gratitude, fear and anger management, and visualization.
He explains that true gratitude involves fully experiencing and feeling grateful rather than just thinking about it.
Tony Robbins highlights the power of visualization and feeling outcomes as done to program the subconscious mind and make them happen.
He encourages people to take control of their lives by setting their intentions and priming their minds before engaging with their phones and responsibilities.

People can be easily influenced by their environment, as demonstrated in a study where individuals held a cup of hot or cold coffee and later described a person differently based on the temperature of the coffee.
Creativity can be enhanced by exposure to certain stimuli, such as an Apple commercial or logo, which can lead to higher scores on creativity tests.
It is important to prime one's mind and nervous system to be in a grateful, anticipatory, and moving state, as this can positively impact one's mood and interactions with others.

The brain has a tendency to delete, distort, and generalize information, so it is crucial to direct one's focus to cultivate a positive mindset.
Changing one's perspective and attitude is essential for having new experiences.
Three key decisions that individuals make every moment are: what to focus on, whether to focus on what they have or what's missing, what they can control or what they can't control, and whether to focus on the past, present, or future.
Focusing on what's missing, what you can't control, and the past can lead to negative emotions such as anger, sadness, frustration, or depression.

The speaker, Theo Von, discusses his experience with depression and his decision to stop taking antidepressants.
He mentions a study conducted by Stanford University that showed that 60% of people who take antidepressants do not improve, and the average improvement is only 50%.
Theo Von also highlights a study conducted at John's Hopkins Hospital that showed that psilocybin (magic mushrooms) and cognitive therapy were effective in reducing depression symptoms, with 54% of participants experiencing no symptoms of depression after 6 weeks.
He describes his own Date With Destiny seminar, which involves a six-day program without drugs, and reports that 100% of participants experienced no depression symptoms after 6 weeks, with 72% reduction in negative emotions and 52% improvement in positive emotions 11 months later.
Theo Von emphasizes the importance of changing one's perspective and rewiring the brain to overcome depression, rather than relying solely on medication.

Overreacting to situations is often due to accumulated problems or stress.
Stacking positive experiences can lead to biochemical changes and improved well-being.
Changes in biochemistry can create new habits in the nervous system.
A Stanford study found that combining biochemical changes with movement, breath, and voice produced 300% greater results than teaching alone.
During live events, the speaker's testosterone levels increase while cortisol levels drop, leading to increased drive and reduced stress.
The audience's biochemistry also changes during these events, mirroring the speaker's state.
A study conducted during the pandemic showed that people in different countries experienced similar biochemical changes while attending online seminars.
The changes in biochemistry can last for a year or more, even without further interaction with the speaker.
The path of least resistance does not lead to happiness; self-esteem is earned through overcoming challenges and personal growth.
Achieving goals provides temporary happiness, but the pursuit of those goals and the personal growth that comes with it is what truly brings lasting fulfillment.
Personal growth and progress lead to a sense of fulfillment and purpose in life.

New Year's resolutions often fail because people don't have a clear plan or address the underlying gaps between their current state and desired outcomes.
To achieve meaningful change, individuals need to identify what they want, understand why they want it, and acknowledge the gaps they need to overcome.
Common obstacles to progress include fear, limiting beliefs, emotional barriers
