They’ve entered a Tony Robbins state
of mind. But what exactly does this
consist of?
It is, first and foremost, a superior
mind—the antidote to Alfred Adler’s inferiority
complex. Tony uses the word
power rather than superior (we’re too
sophisticated nowadays to frame our
quests for self-improvement in terms of
naked social positioning, the way we
did at the dawn of the Culture of Personality),
but everything about him is
an exercise in superiority, from the way
he occasionally addresses the audience
as “girls and boys,” to the stories he
tells about his big houses and powerful
friends, to the way he
towers—literally—over the crowd. His
superhuman physical size is an important
part of his brand; the title of his
best-selling book, Awaken the Giant
Within, says it all.
