5 comments about Get the Edge : A 7 Day Program to Transform Your Life.

1. Worth every penny!
   Takes the bulky 30 Day Personal Power Program and condenses it into 1 week! I highly recommend!!



2. It worked for us (as did Personal Power) the first time and, again, this time around. WHEN WE REALLY LISTEN TO WHAT IS BEING SAID, we pick up new issues to focus on and improve with each session, some that we missed the last time. Life is too precious to keep on making the same mistakes. Thank you TONY!!!! When it gets down to it, it's up to us to make it all happen. For those who are serious about this, the green fresh ph diet actually works. Have known an actual case where it cured cancer in a good friend. Chow



3. I just finish with "Get the Edge" and I have to say I learned a lot of wild stuff in this course. If you do what he tells you to do and take action than one thing I can guaranteed you is success in all of the areas in your life.



4. If you have done the "Personal Power" series, you probably will like this although there is not a lot of totally new thought here. If you have not, you can start here and experience the very best in motivational tools. This guy pretty much says it like it is:
   
   (1) Get your rear out of bed early in the morning
   (2) Take time to reflect on who you are and who you wish to be
   (3) Exercise and eat right (more on this below)
   (4) Decide what you really want, and take action immediately and every day to make that work.
   
   He has some neat techniques to help you stay on track and focus without getting bogged-down with too much planning. In my experience in working with people, I find that most either plan too much (and never execute) or they don't plan at all and wander around aimlessly. This program helps you to find the right balance.
   
   I'm not a huge fan of the dietary recommendations, as I don't believe there is good science behind some of the theories (at least none I could find on PubMed, Medscape, or credible medical journals). However, I don't thing the recommendation of eating less meat and lots more vegetables will cause harm to anyone! [What seems to work for me is a diet that consists of lots of green vegetables and salads, some fuits, Fiber One cereal in the morning with skim milk and berries, and a small-portion lean protien source with lunch and dinner meal - preferably fish or one-quarter grilled chicken breast.]



5. Depending on where you are at in your life this may have a lot to offer you. I wasn't all that familiar with Anthony before my co-worker said "Hey, I got this at a tag sale, see if there's anything you want to listen to". I took to it immediately. I felt charged to make major changes. I also thought "Wow, what a great guy. Genuine, really out to make the world a better place." I asked around to see if my friends had heard of him and all I got were negative comments about him being annoying and conceited. I can't imagine they have actually listened to him because he is far from those things in my eyes. Have they heard his messages??? Through these discs, Anthony gives solid actions you can take to improve the quality of your life. It is a step by step guide. I found no part of it unreasonable. It makes so much sense. It's great even when things are going well as motivation to continue on the path that is making things work for you.

5 comments about Lessons in Mastery.

1. Put this on your mp3 player and listen to it everywhere you go.



2. I think Tony Robbins is the best speaker I ever heard. If you want to change your life for the better than buy these cds. I don't see him as a motivator I think he's more of a coach because he strongly recommends you take action to get results. I also recommend Live with Passion!



3. I think, this is one of the best Anthony Robbins' audio series. I really like listening to the different mastery techniques that Anthony Robbins teaches.
   
   I know some of the stuff he teaches are already on his other audio series, but it is good sometimes to be reminded of what you already know. It is good to listen the wisdom and knowledge that are shared in the CDs several times because we tend to forget what we learn the first time.
   
   When you drive a lot to go to work or a business trip, this audio series will be a great one for you to listen to. It will inspire and energize you as Anthony Robbins will teachers different level of mastery skills to bring you to a different level of thinking.
   
   Just like what Earl Nightingale said "We become what we think about." This audio series will be a great investment to give to your mind.



4. Me and my husband listen to this in our cars as we drove to work daily until we finished it! This is the first CD book I have listened to 3 times and passed on to others! It is absolutely inspiring, life changing if you incorporate the teachings into your daily life. Its not about doing some drastic workbook. Its about reflecting everyday for a few minutes as you drive to work or anyother time of day on ~"CANI" ~ stands for Constant And Never-ending Improvement. The concept of CANI, improved my married, my career, my friends, my family, EVERYTHING.
   CANI..... CHANGED MY LIFE.
   
   A must buy!



5. This is a great series if you haven't heard it. Great and quick response time.

5 comments about Energy Tapping for Trauma: Rapid Relief from Post-Traumatic Stress Using Energy Psychology.

1. 'Energy Psychology' is a term that refers to a set of treatment techniques that conceptualize thoughts, feelings, emotions, and other psychological phenomena as manifestations of energy working through the system of the human body. If a psychological phenomenon is causing pain, distress, or a lack of function to an individual, the somatic techniques of energy psychology can work to disrupt the flow of energy causing that phenomenon. One of the principal techniques arising from energy psychology is 'energy tapping' -- a practice similar to acupressure and involves manipulating and tapping certain points along the body's energy meridians to influence psychological events. In "Energy Tapping For Trauma", clinical psychologist Fred P. Gallo presents a concise overview of just how trauma affects people and why certain aspects of traumatic experience can linger as post traumatic stress. Gallo then goes on to apply the technique of energy tapping to alleviating and recovering from acute trauma and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Thoughtful, reasoned, based upon sound research and exceptionally well written, "Energy Tapping For Trauma" is a strongly recommended addition to academic library Medical and Psychology reference collections, as well as being very appropriate and informative for the non-specialist general reader with an interest in treating psychological trauma and post-traumatic stress syndromes.



2. Fred Gallo's new book is very through, well organized and has clear and easy to follow directions for clearing trauma. Dr. Gallo has a masterful understanding of trauma from the psychological, physiological and energetic perspectives. He has used his understanding and his considerable therapeutic skills to craft a book that explains what trauma is, how it affects beliefs and functioning and how to help your own energy system rebalance and release the emotional effects of trauma.
   
   This book is helpful to the practitioner who already uses energy-based techniques. New ways of using energy techniques as well as integration and consolidation of methods such as the Eight Step Process are offered. Therapists who are unfamiliar with Energy Psychology will find this book gives them a clear grounding and methods they can easily use for themselves or for their clients.
   
   Anyone who wishes to work with their own trauma will find the methods offered user-friendly and effective. Dr. Gallo has made a valuable contribution to the field of Energy Psychology and a generous contribution to those who want to increase their health and happiness.



3. Fred Gallo, PhD, has created a wonderfully crafted book suitable for the professional who uses energy psychology/meridian therapy, as well as for the the layperson wanting to help themselves and others be free of "stuck stuff."
   
   In my 26 years as a chiropractor, I've seen daily the need to release emotional stress from my patients (and myself) to achieve the best healing results, but didn't have the ready means until energy psychology came along. Since I've recently chosen to focus on meridian therapy for the relief of PTSD symptoms, Dr. Gallo's book will serve as a splendid major resource for my practice. I am especially delighted that he doesn't talk simply about clearing the stuck patterns, but covers in detail energy methods of "Reconnecting to and Empowering Your Life" (chap. 7).
   
   Pioneers, such as Fred Gallo, are leading the way in new understanding of what makes us tick, and what makes us sick, helping us to reclaim our inherent wholeness and joy of life. He suggests that if each of us used these energy tools ourselves, and then shared them with six others to use, who then each shared them with six others...Wow! Just imagine the possibilities! Thank you, Fred.



4. After using, Dr. Gallo's energy psychology techniques for more than four years, I'm thrilled to see that his new book focuses on rapid relief from post traumatic stress. As a healer and practitioner, I am happy to report that not only are these techniques effective, they are ever lasting. They bring about quick, powerful release of negative emotions, thoughts and behavior patterns, and are particularly useful when traditional therapy approaches do not work. Best of all: they are fast, simple and accessible to everyone--unlike traditional psychotherapy which is slow, complicated and often prohibitively expensive.

   Diet for a New Life: An 8-step Integral Solution to Weight Loss and Well-being



5. Ok, so, I'm looking at buying this book. But, all the comments and reviews seem to be biased. They seem to be written by other authors, who then, promote their own books. Has anyone read this book besides friends of the author??? I'd like some REAL feedback, from a REAL person with PTSD.

3 comments about Think and Grow Rich.

1. After finishing "Think and Grow Rich" I have suddenly realized that this simple slogan is the single way of life in a capitalist society. In this book, as the only way of getting rich, the author advocates goal-directed way of life, purposefulness, constant self-perfection, courage, the skill to think and to act, and the other similar traits of character.
   
   Many people came to a conclusion that the wealth, in some extent, depends on a level of education, motivation, self-esteem, and so on. The problem is that not all the people in equal extend incline to the education, to their self-improvement. This is because of the differences of their needs, habits, abilities, capabilities, and so on. Leo Tolstoy in his novel "Resurrection" arose a question of how to improve the level of education within a society: from inside of each individual or from outside? Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Should first the level of education of each and every individual be risen which yields a revolution (dialectic transition of quantity into quality) or the revolution should make the environment to foster the education of every individual?
   
   The traits advocated by Napoleon Hill correspond to the first Leo Tolstoy's way of improving society. If each and every individual will improve, the society will automatically improve. The second way of Leo Tolstoy (create the environment which will foster the education of every individual) is contrary to Napoleon Hill's ideas: "if something is got for free or without big effort, it won't be appreciated, won't be handled with care or you won't trust it". Free education and medical care won't be respected properly by people, regardless how good this education and medical care are. That's why the socialist society will develop slower than capitalist. Marxists knew this and have built the concept of World revolution (to overthrow of capitalism in all countries), and a further idea by Trotsky that it was impossible to build socialism in a single country. Trotsky wrote that the socialist economy is not as efficient as capitalist and without the World revolution the USSR won't be able to overcome its economic underperformance.
   
   Napoleon Hill praises the freedom and opportunities of the capitalist society of the U.S. in particular, which gives, according to Napoleon Hill, boundless opportunities for an individual who is able to think and grow rich.
   
   I also recommend "The Road to Serfdom" by F. A. Hayek in addition to this book. Although "Think and Grow Rich" is a classical self-help book for a general reader while "The Road to Serfdom" is mostly academic, I think that both of them should be read.



2. This is the original classic personal-growth and wealth-building book that all the self-help "Guru"s have been copying and imitating. Buy this and learn from the original. Buy this and learn the classic techniques the new-age thinking was built on, and that the "New-Wage" hucksters imitate without crediting it.



3. A little dated but his kind of information is timeless. Positive thinking to the max. Wonderful, simple book that sets forth basic principles for living a prosperous, healthly life.

5 comments about Unlimited Power Featuring Tony Robbins Live!.

1. Once again this is a GREAT companion to the text of this book that keeps refreshing you every time you listen. We usually forget many things after we read, so CD programs like "Unlimited Power" remind us through repetition. Anthony Robbins products are a pleasure and push for positive life changes.



2. Tony Robbins is full of good information. He teaches you how to take a normal life, and make it an extraordinary life. I give this book 5 stars!



3. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book "Unlimited Power". I am reading the book again and I have already successfully used some of the concepts and ideas. This certainly is not a book that you read just once but the insightful and useful information needs to be read again and again until it really sticks. In fact, one benefits a lot by practising what is being suggested say for 3 -4 weeks and see the results for yourself. Then maintain the new useful habit.
   
   Anthony Robbins encapsulates the best personal development strategies and combines it with NLP to create quick change. This book will improve your entire life from reaching goals to rapport with others. "Unlimited Power" gives the utmost concepts on achievement, given by a very successful author, in a clear and easy to understand and follow style. I was very impressed with the ideas and information contained inside it which are very practical and powerful.
   
   However, the book can only provide guidance and it's up to the reader to put into practice the advice and wisdom of this motivational guru.
   
   It is overall an interesting book to read. This book is recommended as it has the potential to highly motivate, stimulate and help you focus your mind on meeting your goals.



4. If you like to listen to a quick information and inspirational, I mean literally quick. This CD is for you! If you like a detail and deep substance materials, you won't like this CD.
   
   First of all, there is only 1 CD in the package, it is hard to try to put a lot of information in 1 CD.
   
   I think, the Unlimited Power 6 tapes/ CDS series that is released by Nightingale Conant company is a lot better than the one that Simons and Schuster. It is too short and Anthony Robbins didn't really go into details on how to apply what he is talking about on this CD.
   
   I still think, Anthony Robbins is a great motivational speaker! He is awesome! He has stories that you and I can relate to.
   
   About this CD, I guess the price is right, the simons and schuster series is a lot cheaper than the Nightingale Conant one. So if you want the generic and cheap version of this CD, buy the Simons and Schuster one.



5. Tony is hugely sucessful but he's like a tool salesman with no real accomplishmet to show for his tools.
   
   Its as if he were marketing a "new and improved" monkey wrench and his "proof" that it works is that he sold a lot of them. But none of his customers, no matter how enthusiastic, can measurably prove that its any better than the wrench they already have.
   
   There is nothing in this work that one would not ordinarily acquire though common sense, an elementary school education and some life experience. Don't buy this, you have enough junk in your "toolbox" already!

5 comments about Live with Passion! : Stategies for Creating a Compelling Future.

1. Tony Robbins has a natural gift for inspiring others and this 6-CD set is no exception. Not a rehash of Power or Power II, this set offers the listener (and doer) an opportunity to make a change in life, based on pursuing and implementing specific stratagems and in adopting and nurturing particular mindsets about life.
   
   The only flaw I find is in the packaging - it's a 6-CD plastic "fold-out" box - the construction is surprisingly low quality and sections pop out, making the use of these CDs in this particular box very "challenging". I am surprised that the Robbins corporation would have allowed this inferior packaging. So what type of packaging should have been used? A zippered container with built in soft sleeves of course: And if you need a great example for reference, please check out:
   Brian Tracy's SUCCESS MASTERY ACADEMY 16-CD set. Brian Tracy scores a hit with not only the CONTENT of this great set but the awesome packaging! So to all professionals (personal development and otherwise) serious about packaging your audio sets: forget those plastic fold out boxes and pay for a little quality - after all, you're supposed to be worth it, right? And in any event, we certainly are.



2. Just Like the Mastercard commercial, Anthony Robins motivational CD's are truly priceless! I have been recommending them to everybody I know. Just pass the word around, it is the best gift you can give to your grownup children, you never know, it might a make a big difference in their future.



3. This CD set is a great tool for making big changes in your life. Tony teaches the listener some fantastic ways to address problems (Chalenges!), end bad habits, and generally lead a more passionate life.



4. I heard Anthony Robbins from Jay Abraham and Brian Tracy sales training series. Since most of our life struggles and challenges come our ability to deal with the problems that come into our life, I recommend this CD series for those of you who feel depressed, frustrated and uninspired.
   
   The Live With Passion, Anthony Robbins CDs are amazing! After I listened to these CDs, I went ahead and bought $300 worth more of his CDs because what Anthony Robbins really brings back what I have learned in the past from great mentors, like Earl Nightingale, John Cummuta, Brian Tracy, Jay Abraham, Zig Ziglar and so on.
   
   I am extremely excited to be able to listen to Anthony Robbins' wisdom and advice, because it has helped me to take charge of my life.
   
   Must listen CDs!



5. Tony Robbins has the gift of expressing concrete, easy-to-implement ideas that can make a difference in living a more fulfilling, successful life. Since listening to these CDs a few weeks ago, I have found myself spontaneously recalling some of the concepts he shared that have helped me face a challenge I was having at the time. In particular, the concepts of "Build a Relationship Bridge" for having patience with others during times of miscommunication has been very helpful. Also, the importance of carrying around a (properly-tempered) sense of "Certainty" in one's daily life as a pre-condition for success has been extremely useful. Some of his concepts seem self-apparent, but Mr. Robbins' charismatic delivery and excellent communication skills really drive them home.
   
   I refrained from rating the set at 5 stars due to the multiple references to Mr. Robbins' seminars embedded throughout the recordings. However, in the end that was a small (additional) price to pay for the inspiration and extremely useful concepts that Mr. Robbins offers. I recommend this CD set highly.

5 comments about Notes from a Friend: A Quick and Simple Guide to Taking Control of Your Life.

1. 
   Exellent book,
   
   Recomended for anyone..
   This is a book you'll read again and again..
   its also a perfect introduction for anyone who hasnt hear from Tony.
   
   just buy it..



2. Tony Robbins is unique. You cannot miss to read this book. It will change your life.



3. This little book is all you need to change your life. It only has a small amount of the material from his other books but it is all you really need to get started. Keep it in the bathroom so everytime you sit down you can read a chapter. It is written so that anyone can understand and apply the principles. Next to the BIBLE it is the most valued book in my household.



4. I realize referring to any book as an "oasis" sounds silly, but this particular book qualifies.
   
   I bought my first self-help book forty-eight years ago, when I was still in grade school. In college I first minored in philosophy, and then in psychology. I've read everything from classic self-help psych books to the most outrageous metaphysical self-improvement techniques. Oh, I've read and tried it all.
   
   I discovered Tony Robbins over twenty years ago, and really liked him. He seemed practical and made sense. After going through the Personal Power tape set three times, I lost track of Tony and got involved in other techniques. Last month I stumbled across his latest -- The Edge. While waiting for the CD set to be delivered, I read this book.
   
   It's terrific. "Notes From A Friend" is the Cliff's Notes of Tony Robbins' philosophy, and is presented with his contageous enthusiam. It's a quick read (about an hour), but is packed with good advice and humor.
   
   Of all I've devoured over the past forty-some years, Tony Robbins' material and the Life 101 series (now out of print) are simply the best. Like wise old friends.



5. 
   In a straight-forward approach with his contagious enthusiasm and lots of real life examples, Anthony Robbins's "Notes from a Friend: A Quick and Simple Guide to Taking Control of Your Life" shows his readers that we can change our life literally in a matter of moments, by tapping into the power that's inside each of us right now.
   
   What if "unleash the power within us" is what we need to be successful? It sounds too simple, but many of us including myself, have no idea how powerful we truly are. This book effectively showed us that we can shape our destiny by shifting focus on solutions, instead of problems. Having a clear vision of what we want, with a sense of flexibility in pursuing our goals, and continuing to take massive, positive, constructive actions, we can empower and enrich our lives and others' lives around us in all aspects!
   
   
   A concept from this book particularly caught my eyes; "the past doesn't matter. Whatever hasn't worked in the past has nothing to do with what you'll do today. What you do right now is what will shape your destiny." It reminded me of my favorite authors; Ariel and Shya Kane and their books Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment and Working on Yourself Doesn't Work: A Book About Instantaneous Transformation. The Kanes presented the idea of "Living in the moments", showing "the current moment is all we have and living in the moment is all it takes to have our life transformed." It is so freeing to be able to let go of all the "I should have done this" and know that what happened in the past is irrelevant to now and now is all we have! We have absolutely everything we need right now to create our lives.
   
   These three authors are magical. I highly recommend them to anyone that wants to have a magical life and to discover his and her brilliance!

5 comments about 8 Minutes in the Morning: A Simple Way to Shed up to 2 Pounds a Week Guaranteed.

1. I have contemplated this book for about 2years, I hesitated to spend 12 dollars on yet another excercise plan that probably wouldn't work. I found the book on the bargain rack 2 1/2 weeks ago so I got it. I have not followed his eating plan, I was going to ease into that. Instead, I have cut back on carbs and tried to add more lean protein. I also allow myself one day per week to eat those things I was craving. This helps me stay on track the rest of the week. The excercise are fairly easy, I like the abilty to use different weights and the variety of muscle groups worked is great. By the end of the first week my husband said he thought I had lost weight, I said nah, it's only been a week. At the end of week 2 I had to agree that I lost at least 2 pounds. My goal is to lose 10 lbs. This is the first time that I have tried to loose weight and actually succeeded!



2. I purchased the book over 2 years ago and it collected dust on my bookshelf. Just a little over 3 weeks ago I decided to use the program. I have to say that IT WORKS! My clothes are much looser and I've lost 5lbs. give or take. The eating portion I'm tweaking but if I were to follow it precisely I'm sure I would've lost more. The book is worth the price and Jorge is very encouraging with the daily talks noted in the book. I highly recommend this book for anyone struggling with losing weight!



3. This was a good book with exercises that you can do in the comfort of your own home, or on the road (traveling).



4. I do the at home exercises. Nice explanation. Very practical examples. Haven't done the diet part.



5. I'm not going to rave completely about this book, but it is simply the best and most complete method of how to loose weight and keep it off. It is aimed at women more than men, but the things in the book are effective for men as well. He explains how the body works, which gives you better insight on why we eat what we eat in order to loose weight. It explains that carbs are just as important as protein, and that (certain) fats are just as important as vegetables. I was surprised to learn how fruit is healthy but does not help weight loss at all. Many books cover just excercise and others just food. This book gives you a solid routine for both. The food plan & excercise plans are very realistic even for the worst coach potato. I was dieting/excercising on my own and plateaued after a month - no weight loss for two weeks. I forgot I had this book, opened it up again, followed the plan, and BAM after two days I started loosing weight again. It works.

5 comments about Unlimited Power : The New Science Of Personal Achievement.

1. A good friend of mine recommended this book to me with much praise. So I found it on amazon used section listed for $0.01, which came out to about $4 with shipping. You might be thinking who cares how much I was able to pick this book up for.. THIS BOOK IS WORTH MUCH MUCH MORE! If everything in these pages are considered and used, there is not a price that can be put on it.
   
   Life would be so much easier if all the knowledge and principles in these pages where second nature at an early age. The good news is that you are here now reading the reviews and likely to pick this book up like I did and buy it.
   
   Out of all the books I have read all my life this is definitely in the top ten. If you think the bible is important to read, I would put this one right beside it if not in a more accessible place.
   
   Anthony does a terrific job organizing his writing and making his concepts clear and understandable. There are many guidelines, rules, and strategies that can help you improve your life and ready you for what is to come next in your life.
   
   People pay ridiculous amounts of money to find the secret success formula for this or that or the next thing.. and its all here for the taking.. Heck, its likely at the library for nothing. But this book is like a bible for life. A bible for the mind and the way to do and achieve.
   
   Keep in mind that no book is going to kick you in the [...] every day to make decisions and take action, you need a wife or a mentor for that :)
   This is however is a fantastic place to start. You will be glad you did!
   "Unlimited Power: The way to peak personal achievement"



2. I have actually been through a long period of spiritual chaos. I have owned this book in the past. I also owned many other books that are of this kind. This book is actually useless. The best thing to do in times of turmoil is to keep things SIMPLY. That is the best solution. Think in a positive way but not to the extreme end that is advocated in all these self improvement books which are actually self DESTRUCTION books.
   For those who question my opinion, I have been severely depressed for over 6 years. I stop being depressed back in 2003. I am currently a psychology major. REAL psychology books are VERY different from these SHAM books.
   I hope my review have helped someone. If you have books like this, you should throw them away.



3. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book "Unlimited Power". I am reading the book again and I have already successfully used some of the concepts and ideas. This certainly is not a book that you read just once but the insightful and useful information needs to be read again and again until it really sticks.

4. Everyone on earth, needs to read this book.
   
   A lot of NLP tactics are used in this book, but hey whatever gets the job done.
   
   What I've learned through this book:
   - how to change my physiology to change my current state of emotions
   - how to better manage my emotions and time
   - how to build rapport with others
   - to really know and understand what I want
   - new techniques on how to completely delete bad thoughts
   - so much other stuff!
   
   your gonna love this book, it's basically just you that's helping you and in the end who else is gonna help.



5. This was a great, great book. I have resisted reading his stuff for quite a while because his ventures are so commercialized and he still has a bit of that infomercial stigma in my head - but I was completely wrong. This book was gold. Great for beginners, great for the experienced.
   
   About half the book is basic material that I was well acquainted with - goals, health, motivation, etc. Although I did get a few new viewpoints. The real benefit to me was the introduction to Neuro Linguistic Programming, or at least Tony's flavor of it. It was so effective, I was able to put it into use while only about halfway through the book. My wife and I were stuck waiting for our son in a dentist's office that had the air at about 60 degrees and I was able to program myself into feeling warm - the chillbumps went away, my skin warmed up - even my wife (who thought the whole thing was hokey) admitted it worked.
   
   This is not a one time read, but a manual to be often revisited.

5 comments about Awaken the Giant Within : How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial Destiny!.

1. Everyone knows Tony Robbins. I'm sure we all have seen his late night commercials on TV at 2am in the morning. As someone who always would laugh at the commercials I was always intrigued with them at the same time and always found myself watching them til they were over. Well flash forward a few years and in desperate need of a "LIFE" change I came across this book by Anthony Robbins.
   
   It is a book that I highly recommend. Not only is it filled with commen sense ideas but also is filled with examples of other peoples problems that they overcame. It motivated me to change my negative thinking and behaviors and start to live a more positive life. What Tony made me understand is that obstacles are not brick walls but small challenges that we can over come. Positive thinking is more than just thinking positive but "Living" positive.
   
   I highly recommend this to anyone who needs a little motivation to change their life for the better. Even if you don't need this push in your life it's still a great read that gives you quite a lot of advice and hints that you can use in your life from the first page that you read. I think you won't be disipointed if you purchase this book and if you really follow his advice you will live a more fulfilling and enjoying life. Do yourself a favor and get one of tony robbins books today if not this one. So Awaken your giant within today.



2. This review is for the 2 Audio CD version of Awaken the Giant Within. While listening to the CD, I kept waiting for the Wow moment, as in when is he going to say something, I think "WOW!". Never happened. The material is good, but simplistic and very basic. It is a good introduction for someone who is becoming aware of self sabotage by their own thoughts and needs a primer to shift their focus. This is like the movie that ends and you know there's definetely going to be a Part 2, because there are too many unanswered questions. In other words this work is the hook, which gives you a taste, and then reels you in (if you allow it), to buy other products authored by Anthony Robbins. I also felt that his using what is plainly NLP methods is highly unethical, regardless of how you package it or rename it.



3. After years of being mesmerized, hypnotized, industrialized, robotic and socially ostracized, I found something that would get me back on my feet again. That was Unlimited Power. This book goes beyond Unlimited Power and once you get it about swooshing and skipping in the street, you GET IT. A similar technigue is used in a new kind of therapy that is teaching people to recognize body postures that keep people stuck in negative states and can trigger a failure mode. A person with confidence doesn't walk around with his shoulders slumped and his arms dragging the ground. Carolina Tarheel players were swooshing all evening yesterday. If you don't like swoosh, find another word.
   
   I have Robbins's tapes as well, you want to improve your life, read this book and DO WHAT IT SAYS, you will get results.



4. I'm only on chapter 3, but it's like he is talking to me. I have a hard time with change and he inspires me to want to be a better me. To make changes in my life and to go after my dreams. I really like this book it is very insightful and it gives me that extra push that I need! Thank you Tony!



5. Awaken the Giant Within encourages taking control of ones life to promote positive change. Robbins has read extensively on human development and has rolled many worthwhile concepts into his book. He explores topics including belief systems, how to change, positive decision making, destroying blocks to success and more. This book gives a good overview of how to take better control of one's like.
   
   The reading is quick, but he could have been somewhat less verbose and get the same points across. Then again, it is a relatively minor point if this is what is needed to motivate people to take control of their lives.
   
   Although interesting, Robbin's book did not change me significantly. Almost all of his concepts can be found in other sources. However, Robbins work has helped many people a great deal. Thus, it would be unwise to argue with this success!
