I'm a huge Tony Robbins fan.

I recommend everyone at least check out "Awaken The Giant Within" and "Personal Power 2". All of his products are great though.

Tony also walks the walk and has his whole life;

At 13 years old he decided he wanted to be a baseball reporter and within in a few months (and still aged 13) he had an interview with one of the best baseball reporter in the US at the time, Howard Cosell. His interview made it to the Los Angeles Times and by 14 or 15 years old he was offered a contract to be a sports reporter for for a paper and as well as a job with a television station.

Then at 16 he delivered a speech that lead him to upset his more popular competitors and become the student body president.

In his late teens he elevated himself to one of Jim Rohn's top sales people, eventually being a director of sales and earning $10,000 a month.

He then slumped (due to discovering having lots of money lost him a lot of friends) to his lowest point at 21 (fat, broke and alone). This allowed him to gain new key distinctions and reinvent himself and become the true success that he is today.

He has also contributed massively and done lots of charity work.
