Long story short he was a &#8216;loser&#8217; who transformed himself into becoming an insanely successful life coach. However &#8230; at the core &#8230; is Tony Robbins an individual with high self esteem or low self esteem? My thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Tony Robbins is an individual with low self esteem who augments his feeling of self esteem by helping empower individuals with (even lower) self esteem than himself. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tim Ferriss is Tony Robbins 2.0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A person I really like and admire is Tim Ferriss. I read his 4 hour work week and got lots of good ideas but also got a lot of bad ideas (for example I think the notion of <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2017\/05\/25\/why-passive-income-is-a-myth\/\">&#8216;passive income&#8217;<\/a> is a very bad notion as all income is active and *must* be active). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But anyways Tim Ferriss is around 5 foot 6 inches, and certainly the guy has a maaaaaasive inferiority complex. I admire his courage and honesty in talking about his experiences wanting to commit suicide while he was an undergrad in Princeton &#8212; but at the core, that is who he is. He drove his mom&#8217;s van, hustled, and listened to Tony Robbin&#8217;s motivational tapes every single day. Now Tim Ferriss is a giant. He is probably one of America&#8217;s most successful self-made entrepreneurs (truly). But &#8230; Tim Ferriss at the end of the day is probably deeply insecure about himself. Is this the individual we want to be guiding our intellectual thought and lifestyle approaches? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-videopress\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"VideoPress Video Player\" aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='500' height='281' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/9rmEBblG?autoPlay=1&amp;loop=1&amp;muted=1&amp;persistVolume=0&amp;preloadContent=metadata&amp;hd=0&amp;cover=1' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/v0.wordpress.com\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js?m=1674852142'><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2020\/08\/27\/eric-kim-home-gym-pump\/\">PUMP by KIM<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ethics and duty. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kant&#8217;s notion of the &#8216;Categorical Imperative&#8217; is a bad moral and ethical code. Why? It assumes all humans are the same. We need to need to promote a much more dynamic form and code of ethics which treats every single human being as a &#8216;bespoke&#8217; (one of a kind) case. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A thought: Is it the duty of individuals with high self esteem to help those with low self esteem?
