Question 18 of 433
What is the big idea in Tony Robbins’s Life Force?
The short answer
That you should become the chief executive of your own health, and that regenerative medicine, including stem cells, gene therapy, and new diagnostics, is about to change what is possible.
The book, written with Dr. Peter Diamandis and Dr. Robert Hariri, runs to some 700 pages and draws on interviews with well over a hundred scientists. It tours stem cells and exosomes, organ regeneration, gene editing, immune-cell therapies for cancer, focused ultrasound for tremor, advanced scans, hormone optimization, peptides, and a long list of devices. It closes where Robbins is strongest: on mindset, emotion, and decision.
Robbins also tells his own story: a pituitary tumor, what he describes as mercury poisoning from years of eating large fish, and a torn shoulder he says recovered after stem cell treatment abroad.
