3 Books Tony Robbins Has Recommended — and What You Can Learn From Them
Tony Robbins is a world-famous life coach who's best known for his live events and motivational speaking tours. But as a best-selling author, he also knows a thing or two about the power of a good book. Robbins frequently stresses the value of reading and claimed in an interview to have devoured 700 books before he turned 18.

A literary resume like that is too vast to chronicle concisely, so GOBankingRates highlighted the top three books that Robbins recommends for their ability to teach ordinary people extraordinary skills for success.
Although Tony Robbins is not known for his athletic endeavors, one of his most recommended books is from none other than — sorry, Joe Montana fans — the undisputed greatest quarterback of all time: Tom Brady.
On his Facebook page, which was linked to an endorsement of the book 'The TB12 Method,' Robbins referred to Brady as his 'dear friend.' On his YouTube channel, Robbins revealed why he doesn't think it matters that Brady's specialty is football because his true skill is winning.
'Now in his 40s and still considered one of the best quarterbacks in the nation, Tom Brady knows a thing or two about performing at an elite level,' Robbins wrote. 'In this book, Tom Brady discusses his strategies for succeeding on and off the field.'
Read Next:
'As A Man Thinketh' is a classic that delves into the art of thinking. It reveals how — when pursued as a skill and a science — critical thinking can solve every problem a person encounters.
Robbins wrote on his Facebook page, ''As a Man Thinketh' by James Allen is a book everyone should read. I've read it more than a dozen times and I often gift it because it's concise, easy to read, but also deeply profound. For anyone who wants to understand how your thoughts really, truly shape everything in your life that you feel and experience, this book is a must-read.'
Like Tom Brady, Ray Dalio's niche is not one that most people aspire to — but as the founder of Bridgewater Associates, the largest hedge fund in the world, his true specialty is success.
Also like Brady, Robbins believes ordinary people can apply the lessons of Dalio's book 'Principles' to any endeavor they pursue. On the book's official page, Amazon quotes Robbins as saying, 'Ray Dalio has an uncanny capacity to understand what is happening in the world and develop principles that allow him to prepare for what's ahead. 'Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order' is a must-read full of insights into where the world is today and where it's going.'

Dave Nemetz Reviews The Bear: Hulu's Culinary Dramedy Finds a Recipe That Works in a Resurgent Season 4
Throughout the new season of The Bear, Carmy and his staff are preoccupied with getting a bad review — and that feels kind of meta, doesn't it? After a pair of acclaimed seasons, Hulu's pressure cooker of a dramedy returned last summer for a Season 3 that felt like a letdown, with fans and critics (like me) wondering if The Bear had lost that unique flavor that drew us in. Well, like any good restaurant reviewer, I've returned to see if my evaluation holds up, and I'm happy to say that the flavor is back in full force in Season 4 (now streaming; I've seen all 10 episodes). Season 4 is an absolute triumph, right up there with Season 2 in terms of quality, shaking off the doldrums by tapping into a powerful emotional resonance and rediscovering what made this show so great in the first place. More from TVLine Sarah Michelle Gellar Wants to Bring Back Every Dead Buffy Character in Reboot - Who Do You Want to Return? Sterling K. Brown's Washington Black: Watch First Trailer for Hulu Adventure Event Series Dave Nemetz Reviews Countdown: Amazon's High-Octane Action Thriller Is Peak Dad TV, for Better or Worse Season 4 picks up right where we left off, with Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) and his restaurant getting a crucial review in the local paper — and it's decidedly mixed, with the reviewer dinging them for inconsistent food and service. Uncle Jimmy (Oliver Platt) is turning the screws on Carmy as well, putting a big clock in the kitchen that counts down the hours until their funding runs out. (The ticking clock gives Season 4 a sense of urgency that was sorely lacking last season.) Life gets in the way, too, of course, with Carmy, Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) and Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) all dealing with an avalanche of relationship crises that take their attention off the food… for a while, anyway. The Bear has always been really astute in observing the fragile balance between work life and home life, and that balance is front and center in Season 4. There's a spark here that we didn't see in Season 3: less mournful brooding and more kinetic action. From Carmy's romance with Claire to Sydney's role in the restaurant hierarchy, Season 4 resolves things that should have been resolved last season, which leads me to ask: What was the purpose of Season 3, exactly? That season was spinning its wheels, narratively speaking, but in Season 4, those wheels hit the ground and take off. Yes, there are contemplative moments here, too, which is good, because The Bear excels at those. But thankfully, the storytelling arrow points forward this time, giving the characters fresh depth and complexity. Season 4 offers a veritable buffet of highlights, including an emotionally charged confrontation between Carmy and Claire, a side quest for Sydney that gives Edebiri some of her best material yet and a sprawling ensemble episode in the mold of Season 2's 'Fishes' that clocks in at over an hour but flies by. (It has another top-secret star cameo to boot). This season really leans into the acting, too, with extended scenes of dialogue that feel raw and improvised and real, culminating in a powerhouse finale that delivers the kind of exhilarating catharsis that The Bear does so well. Is it a comedy, though? Based on Season 4, not really — but that's OK. There are definitely funny elements in each episode, with Moss-Bachrach finding new and novel ways for Richie to curse in every scene. (The infamous Fak brothers are still around, but their goofy antics have been tastefully reined in.) It may not be a 'comedy' in any sense outside the Emmys, but The Bear is one of TV's best shows, in any genre, and this season reaffirms that. If I had a Michelin star to hand out, I'd give it one. THE TVLINE BOTTOM LINE: If s previous season was a letdown, Season 4 is a triumphant return to form, with raw emotion and beautiful performances. Season 4 of is now streaming on Hulu; if you've already started watching, grade the season in our poll, and give us your tasting notes in a comment below.

Who is Jeff Bezos? Amazon founder set for lavish and controversial Italian wedding
Tech baron Jeff Bezos is set to tie the knot with fiancée Lauren Sánchez in Venice, Italy in what will likely be a star-studded event. The fourth-richest person in the world is set to have a lavish wedding in the Italian city, an event that has caused consternation online and in Venice. Reuters and The New York Times reported the three-day wedding is likely to occur between June 26 and 28. The threat of protests caused the celebrations to be moved to a less accessible part of the city, Reuters and CNN reported. The city said in a March statement that the couple did not intend to interrupt the day-to-day activities of residents with the wedding. "Only two hundred guests will have been invited and therefore it will be easy for Venice to accommodate such an event, without any disruption whatsoever to the city, its residents and visitors," the statement read. Here's what you need to know about Jeff Bezos. Bezos' net worth is estimated by Forbes to be $226.7 billion. He is currently the Executive Chair for Amazon, after stepping down as Amazon's president and CEO in 2021. Bezos is 61 years old. Bezos founded Amazon in 1994. The online bookseller has since grown into a multi-part conglomerate that includes Amazon Web Services, Whole Foods and Project Kuiper – a satellite internet project. In 2000, he founded the space technology company Blue Origin and also purchased the Washington Post in 2013 for $250 million. The Amazon founder began dating Sánchez following his split from ex-wife and author MacKenzie Scott, about six years ago.

From inflatable crocodiles to the celebrity guest list: What we know — and don't know — about Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's Venice wedding
It might be the most anticipated, and controversial, wedding of the year: Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are getting married this week in a multiday event that is set to bring Hollywood stars and power players to Venice, Italy. At the same time, the billionaire Amazon founder and the former journalist's wedding has brought out protestors from different activist groups, some of whom are using the moment to hit back against Bezos's politics and environmental impact, as well as issues that arise with mass tourism. With the couple already arriving in Venice for the event, there's still much we don't know about the celebration, including when the pair will actually tie the knot. Here's what we've been able to figure out from news reports, and what we still don't know. So far, all we know is that Bezos and Sánchez will likely tie the knot some time between Thursday and Sunday — and that it will not be held at the Venice City Hall, per the New York Times, due to Venice's rules around marriage rites. (George and Amal Clooney got married at the venue in 2014.) Outside of Venice, it's not clear where the actual 'I dos' will take place. Luca Zuin, spokesperson for Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro, suggested the ceremony would be held on Bezos's superyacht, per CNN, while some outlets have reported that the two will marry on the private island of San Giorgio Maggiore. We also don't know whether Bezos and Sánchez have signed a prenup. Experts told Yahoo this week that it's a good idea for the ultra-wealthy couple, who both have kids from previous relationships, to do so. Mayor Brugnaro confirmed that the couple was hosting their event in the floating city in a statement back in March. In the statement, a translation of which was made available by Good Morning America, Brugnaro shot down critics, saying that the wedding would be a manageable affair with only 200 guests and insisted there would be no 'disruption whatsoever to the city, its residents and visitors.' Those 200 guests, per People, will include Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, who reportedly arrived in Venice on Tuesday. Jared's brother Josh Kushner and his wife, Karlie Kloss, are also reportedly on the guest list. Designer Diane von Fürstenberg, who previously threw the couple an engagement party in 2023, was also spotted arriving in Venice, seemingly to attend the festivities. While details of who else is invited are scarce, there has been some speculation based on the couple's social circle. For example, Sánchez recently took a high-profile, all-women Blue Origin space trip with Katy Perry, Gayle King, Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyễn and Kerianne Flynn, so they could potentially be on the guest list. Sánchez is also friends with Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian, both of whom attended her Paris bachelorette party in May, so they may make the cut as well. Others who were in attendance for the bachelorette party include actress Eva Longoria, as well as Lydia Kives, who is married to Hollywood power broker Michael Kives; Veronica Grazer, wife of Oscar-winning producer Brian Grazer; and October Gonzalez, who is married to former NFL star Tony Gonzalez — who also happens to be the father of Sánchez's son, Nikko. Tony himself is also expected to attend, per People. In addition, Leonardo DiCaprio's name is also floating around as a potential guest of the high-profile couple. TMZ reported that the wedding guests will stay at the swanky Aman Hotel in Venice, which ranges from $2,000 to more than $10,000 per night. Bezos and Sánchez may be staying there as well: On Wednesday, they were seen arriving in Venice on a helicopter and, later in the day, made their way to the Aman Hotel. Multiple groups are protesting the Venice wedding, each with a shared frustration over billionaire excess and its impact on the city. No Space for Bezos, a local coalition of housing advocates, student groups and anti-cruise activists, argues that the wedding symbolizes how Venice is being turned into a playground for the ultrarich while the city's residents face a housing crisis. Meanwhile, environmental group Greenpeace Italy teamed up with Everyone Hates Elon, a U.K.-based activist collective, to stage a demonstration in St. Mark's Square on June 23 with a massive banner that read: 'If you can rent Venice for your wedding you can pay more tax.' Together, these groups are using the wedding to spotlight broader issues like over-tourism, inequality and climate injustice, and to call for more taxation for billionaires like Bezos. Some protesters have even threatened to use inflatable crocodiles in an effort to disrupt the nuptials, forcing the couple to rearrange some of their plans for the event, per reporting from the Guardian. According to protest group No Space for Bezos, Venice residents stated they planned to throw the blow-up reptiles into the canals to block celebrity guests from arriving by gondola or water taxi for the wedding. Out of caution, the Guardian reports, the couple moved the wedding reception from Scuola Grande della Misericordia to Arsenale, a complex of shipyards surrounded by fortified walls. As the Guardian notes, local press reports have also cited security concerns due to the current conflict between Iran and Israel as a reason for the change of venue, particularly in light of the fact that President Trump's daughter, Ivanka, is among the expected guests. Still, local activists are taking it as a win. 'We feel as if we scored a victory,' one activist, who chose to remain anonymous, told the Guardian. 'The crocodile initiative would have given a bad impression of the city — this is why the venue was changed, even if the authorities might try to claim it was because of the war.'
