An intriguing aspect of Robbins’ philosophy involves the concept of identity. He argues that our self-definitions strongly dictate our behaviors and emotions. Many people's identities are shaped by past experiences, leading to a reluctance to break free from self-imposed limitations.

The fear of remaining consistent with their past self-image can hinder progress, reinforcing the need to break away from outdated identities.
