Newsom Reflects on Tony Robbins’ Impact in Upcoming Memoir
Governor Gavin Newsom attributes a significant part of his personal development to Tony Robbins, as revealed in his upcoming memoir set to be released at the end of February.
The California governor shares insights about his childhood challenges with dyslexia and the self-esteem issues that came with it.
At 24, he discovered that reading and listening to Robbins’ works helped him learn how to exude “confidence and authority.”
“Find someone who embodies the qualities you aspire to have. Study them and embody their traits,” Newsom wrote, summarizing what he gained from Robbins’ teachings.
Robbins’ influence can still be seen in Newsom’s speeches; he was recently invited to a private screening of a documentary at the White House hosted by President Trump.
Interestingly, Robbins had been considered as a running mate for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. during his presidential campaign.
The memoir, titled “Youth in a Hurry,” is set for release by Penguin Press on February 24.
Known for his work as a life coach and author of popular books like “Awaken Your Inner Giant,” Robbins has counseled many well-known figures, including former President Bill Clinton and tennis champion Serena Williams.
At 58, Newsom is looking ahead to potentially running for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2028.
He seems intent on redefining himself as a progressive disruptor within the Democratic Party, gearing up for a possible showdown with Donald Trump. This memoir appears to be a part of that plan.
“Youth in a Hurry” will hit the shelves on February 24.
