Consider this: according to metastudies, only about 40% of people respond to treatments for anxiety and depression, and that 40% shows an average of 50% improvement in symptoms.
Knowing that, Stanford Genetics Lab conducted a controlled study at Tony Robbins’ Date with Destiny seminar to measure its effects. Of the participants that were clinically depressed before the seminar, 30 days after, 100% of study participants who were depressed were in remission, and their average improvement was 87.2%. No drugs, and in only 6 days of seminar participation. Entering the Stanford study, 17% of participants experienced suicidal thoughts. Thirty days after the seminar, none of the study participants reported having suicidal thoughts. Remarkably, one month after the Tony Robbins event, study participants still experienced a +50% increase in positive emotions (satisfaction, inner strength, well-being), while also reporting a -50% decrease in negative emotions (loneliness, anger, sadness, stress, anxiety). Additionally, they reported feeling happier and more satisfied in relationships. Study participants saw a -38% decrease in anxiety even 11 months after the seminar while the baseline population (non-Tony Robbins seminar participants) saw 28% increased anxiety.
In this episode, Tony, Sage, and Mary B., explore the critical ways to improve emotional fitness and navigate out of "stuck states”. They uncover specific tools for use in moments of overwhelm, stress, anger, or fear. The family explores the ultimate power move: assigning life events empowering meanings; and the fascinating connection between THE TRIAD of physiology, focus, and language.

Two years ago I was a lost drug addict about to lose everything. Doing self care and working on my mental health, getting in the gym 6 days a week and listening to these podcasts saved my life. In July I will have 2 years clean ❤ thanks Tony

To hear them tell each other "I love you" actually made my day . That true love is more valuable than a billion dollars at the end of the day.

I love this notion and practice of good stacking! This is so good - stack the positive and pay attention to language. I grew up the same way with colorful language and it is a practice to pay attention and change it.
