Abraham or Tony

Who do you know better?

Abraham Maslow or Tony Robbins?

Maslow is known for his hierarchy of needs, going from physiological needs to the need for self-actualization.

Maslow was one of the most influential psychologists of the twentieth century.

Tony Robbins is known for filling up ballrooms and concert venues with thousands of ‘fans’ looking for personal breakthroughs.

“Unleash the power within” is the name of Tony’s programs. He’s also aiming for self-actualization.

Sometimes I wonder whether good old Abraham would turn over in his grave if he could see what Tony has done with his theories.

High-profile individuals like Tony Robbins claim what they proclaim is all invented by them.

But nothing could be further from the truth.

99% of what we get exposed to in theories, ideas, concepts, books, conferences, etc., has already been an idea of someone else.

It’s just, and sometimes brilliantly, combined, adjusted, and improved to our creative mind.

And then transformed into a product of our own.
