Tony's message about motivation and life comes at blinding speed, though replaying it and sorting it out can be worthwhile. We all know pretty well the science of achievement and now that works -- setting goals and going for it. But the problem is to achieve Transformation. Robbins sketches out common sorts of needs (an interesting list), and then clarifies that it's our maps of the world that shape us profoundly. We have more or less common needs, but have different models of belief about how to get them met.
