Practices that may help

  1. Tony Robbins’ Core Practices
    Tony Robbins’ method centers on deliberately managing your internal state — through priming, physiology, language, and focus — so that better decisions and actions follow. The practices range from well-supported (gratitude, slow breathing, mental rehearsal) to mechanistically plausible but thinly studied (incantations).
  2. Engineer your proximity (peer group)
    “Who you spend time with is who you become” — treat your environment as a force, not a backdrop.
    Tony Robbins’ Core Practices
  3. Tony Robbins’ Rapid Planning Method (RPM), Made Practical
    Tony Robbins’ Rapid Planning Method reframes planning around three questions: What do I want (Result), Why do I want it (Purpose), and What’s the most efficient path (Massive Action Plan). The "why before how" sequence is consistent with motivational research on purpose and implementation intentions. RPM is a practitioner framework rather than a formally studied protocol.
  4. Never Eat Alone: Building a Real Network
    Keith Ferrazzi’s approach treats networking as ongoing generosity rather than transactional deal-making: connect people, share knowledge, follow through, and show real interest. The evidence base is largely practitioner experience and case studies — honest about what it is — but the underlying principles align with well-studied reciprocity and social capital research.
  5. The Rockefeller Habits: Scaling Up with Rhythm and Focus
    Verne Harnish’s Rockefeller Habits (updated in Scaling Up) distill John D. Rockefeller’s management practices into a system of priorities, data, and meeting rhythms that keep growing companies focused and coordinated. The framework is practitioner-developed and widely used in scale-up companies; the evidence base is primarily case-study and clinical rather than controlled trial.
  6. Incantations (not affirmations)
    Spoken phrases delivered with full physiology and emotion, repeated until they shift your felt sense.
    Tony Robbins’ Core Practices
  7. Mental rehearsal of outcomes
    Vividly rehearse the result and the process, with emotion, before you act.

  8. Priming (the 10-minute morning routine)
    Three short blocks — gratitude, connection, and outcome rehearsal — to set your default state before the day sets it for you.

  9. Fill your social calendar intentionally
    Treat every meal, coffee, and event as a relationship-building opportunity and schedule them as such.

  10. Treating friendship as the most essential pleasure
    Invest in the quality of a small number of close friendships as your primary wellbeing strategy.
