In this chapter, Robbins reviews the life of two men. He talks about a celebrity who appears to have it all – then tells you the celebrity struggled with depression and died of a drug overdose. He describes a horrific motorcycle accident which leaves a man paralyzed and disfigured – then tells you about all the happiness and success this man has achieved since his accident.

The difference between how people handle adversity has always amazed Tony Robbins, so he has dedicated his life to understanding these differences. We all have problems – the only people without problems are dead. The difference is how we perceive our problems.
