In 2006, Tony Robbins gave the famous talk, “Why We Do The Things We Do.” Ten years later, it is still one of the most popular TED talks of all time – and for good reason. Every single person has the same fundamental six “human needs,” but each person places different levels of importance on them and has unique beliefs about how to satisfy those needs. By understanding what your #1 human need is and how that shapes your behavior, you can take control over your life’s direction and even learn how to create new patterns that unlock your hidden potential and lead you to lasting fulfilment.
