In the first video segment, Tony Robbins commented on how when someone is depressed you can tell! "When someone's depressed where's their head, where's their shoulders? Down!" Talk about over generalising depression!
There's a big difference between being depressed and "suffering from depression", and that video clip annoyed me so much that I stopped watching it after the 2 minute mark. I've "suffered" from depression for many years, and suggestions that a behavioral/motivational speaker or positive affirmist (what ever label he has) can alter that suggestively is insulting to my intelligence. I don't mope around or hang my head, and most people would have no idea. I wish my depth of depression was so simply overcome by re-evaluating key needs and creating a positive outlook, but this isn't a workplace presentation I'm having here, this is my life!
Every human being is unique, irrespective of our nervous system similarites. I have an I.Q. and and E.Q. along with a unique personality and don't like to be generalised. Body language is all well and good, but not when it's over simplified, and there's always more to the puzzle than what first appears.
Today people are to caught up in quick fixes. Everyone wants everything now! Why wait? Just do steps 1 to 8 and you're all fixed. Simple! ........... I wish!
Sorry if I've ranted here, but that video really got up my nose and I had to share my thoughts!
