“Breakthrough” is a summer reality show on NBC starring Tony Robbins, the self-help author and motivational speaker. That alone is something of a breakthrough — after more than 30 years in the high-end advice business, Mr. Robbins at last has his own network show.
His empowerment seminars and audiotapes are marketed worldwide, making the name Tony Robbins synonymous with life coaching, even to those who don’t seek his services. He has played himself in movies like “Shallow Hal,” but television viewers mostly know Mr. Robbins through his ubiquitous 30-minute infomercials that, according to his Web site, tonyrobbins.com, play 24 hours a day somewhere.
