Tony Robbins Celebrates 10 Years of "I Am Not Your Guru" Documentary

Tony Robbins, the world's number one peak performance coach, is marking a decade since the release of his documentary "Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru." The film, which premiered at South by Southwest in March 2016, has since introduced Robbins' approach to personal development to a global audience on Netflix. A decade later, the documentary continues to resonate with viewers, offering insights into the transformative six-day personal development event known as Date with Destiny.

Date with Destiny, now in its 38th year, is a six-day event where participants discover their true purpose, overcome limiting beliefs, reignite passion and confidence, and create a clear blueprint for their ideal future. The documentary filmmaker Joe Berlinger first attended the event in 2012. Initially a skeptic, Berlinger was moved to tears by the experience and left convinced that the event deserved a broader audience. He spent the next two years persuading Robbins to allow him to create a behind-the-scenes film about the event.

This empowering idea sits at the heart of Date with Destiny. Robbins rejects the notion that external conditions control one's life. He believes that unless individuals can find joy in their current moments, including challenging times, they will not have a sustainable quality of life.

The documentary, which premiered at South by Southwest in 2016, has had a lasting impact. Berlinger has shared that viewers continue to reach out, drawing inspiration and hope from the film during times of challenge, such as facing cancer or divorce.

Robbins' work continues through his results coaching for individuals and businesses, as well as his ongoing events. The next Date with Destiny is scheduled from December 4th to 9th, 2026, at the Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. His programs have reached more than 100 million people from 193 countries, including four U.S. presidents, athletes like Serena Williams and Andre Agassi, and business leaders such as Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff.

The anniversary of "Tony Robbins: I Am Not Your Guru" gives longtime viewers a reason to revisit the film and new ones an introduction to what happens inside the room at Date with Destiny. To learn more about Robbins and his live and virtual events, visit TonyRobbins.com.
