Top 3 Motivational Speakers? Especially international ones?
 

So I live in a lucky metropolis where negative energy comes tenderly with cloudy days hunting the library for audiobooks with positive words to listen to.

Have been acquainted with big names like Zig Ziglar, Tony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, and the Dalai Lama...but I'm curious about what else is out there. Who's topical for you?

This guy wasn't a motivational speaker, but I always got a lot of value from comedian Bill Hicks. Also, David Icke from England is a bit controversial, but has some great ideas. Both can be seen on Youtube if you wish. Also, Michael Tsarion has some pretty crazy and cool stuff you could watch, but he's not motivational, really.

Motivational speakers and writing is like a drug. Just don't get addicted to them. Although the side effects can be positive, just remember to use your common sense when listening to people speak. Some of the people out there turn out to be complete frauds who give bad advice. Just let your intuition be your guide.

Bill Hicks is hilarious but gives a lot of views on life that are rather smart than funny. I remember his speeches on smoking and 'a positive drug story'.
My top 3:

1. Myself (if you can't motivate yourself, then who can?)
2. Steve Pavlina
3. Bill Hicks

1. Brian Tracey

I love him because his advice are always grounded in reality and he is not talking too much about space, religion and spirituality.

2. Tony Robbins

Mega star of personal development. Really inspiring and motivating.

3. Steve Pavlina

I haven't heard him speaking but his blog is very good.

4. John Rohn
His personal story is very inspiring and touching

5. Napoleon Hill

Grandfather of personal development.
