Tony Robbins asks why we do what we do

http://www.ted.com/talks/tony_robbins_asks_why_we_do_what_we_do.html

First off I have to say I had to post Tony Robbins. I blame watching late night infomercials when I was younger when there wasn't anything else on.

Summary of talk
Tony Robbins discusses the "invisible forces" that motivate everyone's actions and high-fives Al Gore in the front row.

impression of the talk
I had to watch this when I saw that Tony Robbins gave Al Gore a high-five and I needed to know why. While watching the talk I was first surprised to hear that Tony Robbins says he doesn't motivate people he just asks what motivates people. He also watches, studies, and tries to find out what makes people tick and drives them. The talk seemed to be a mix between a motivational talk with how Robbins works/helps people get their inspiration, drive, and motive to accomplish back again. He ends the talk about with a story about being in Hawaii when the world trade centers fell, many people at the seminar had lost people, and one man who was vocal about wanting to be a terrorist.
