I love when science studies edge cases.
This morning, I discovered Stanford had conducted a study on the effect of Tony Robbins's events Unleash the Power Within and Date With Destiny on people who suffered from depression.
The results are worth reviewing.
/TLDR/
Finding #1: Date with destiny is more effective in treating depression than traditionally studied treatments.
Finding #2: Study participants report a +50% increase in positive emotions and a 70% decrease in negative emotions.
Finding #3: Study participants saw a 38% decrease in anxiety during the pandemic, even 11 months later, while the baseline showed a 28% increase.
Finding #4: Tony Robbins event participants experienced physiological shifts that created a measurable change and lasting effect.
300% Increase in cognitive performance
159% Increase in learning hormones
139% Increase in performance biochemistry
/--TLDR--/
Here's a summary video where Tony presents findings:

Clearly, knowing NLP and learning from John Grinder pay dividends.
