The Tony Robbins Corruption

By Leo Gura - June 16, 2025

The mainstream self-help industry is so disgustingly corrupt. The more mainstream it is, the more popular it is, the more corrupt it is. And the most disgusting thing about it is, not only are all the most successful self-help gurus massively corrupt grifters, their grit is to teach their students and followers how to become grifters just like them. It’s grifters teaching grifters how to be more effective grifters while providing a set of rationalizations for why grifting is good for the customer. The self-help industry sells courses in corruption which are bought by all the major podcasters, influencers, and Youtubers to optimize their marketing funnels. It’s such a pernicious form of corruption masquerading as goodness and self-improvement. Naive folk enter self-help without any idea that they are being inducted into a corruption funnel.
