Summary: Unlimited Power:A Black Choice
Review: I found this book to be absolutely what the doctor ordered! Anyone can use these practical tips and techniques to change their thought patterns and create success in their lives. I have been a Tony Robbins fan for over 10 years and I read the original Unlimited Power and several others he has authored. I found this version, co-authored by Joseph McClendon III, to be refreshing, exciting, surreal and a must-have for any true booklover! Joseph adds a positive, dynamic force to this writing duo! I am interested in buying more books written by Mr. McClendon. I recommend this book highly!

Summary: A Motivating Experience
Review: This book as whole provided a great thought provoking experience. It starts out by addressing some of the real issues that plague African American people today dealing with racism and oppression. The fact that the book speaks directly to African Americans takes into account the lingering affects that past oppression has had on black psychology. I liked that the authors acknowledged that these problems are still present, but enocouraged a greater focus on self-accountability. They effectively motivate the reader to visualize themself as an achiever rather than a failure. It encourages people to focus on achieving the outcomes of their desire. The overall value of the book lies in the fact that the authors provide a great strategy for action.

Summary: Give me a break!
Review: This book is another example of the African American community crying about the "racism" that occurs in society today. There is no doubt racism in our society. However, African Americans need to stop complaining and get off their lazy butts and try to get ahead. If people would spend half as much time doing something constructive rather than complaining about how hard they have it, they would actually get somewhere in life.

Summary: Unlimited Power: A Black Choice
Review: This is based on Robbins's classic UNLIMITED POWER, which McClendon has rewritten from his perspective as a Black man. He starts off by telling of some of his experiences - being beaten up one night by a racist gang, being asked by the police 'What were you doing in that neighbourhood?' when he reported the incident. He speaks of how this resulted in his developing a fear and mistrust of all white people - which also affected his relationships and interactions with Black people. McClendon's experiences, attitudes and feelings will echo those of many of us.

He then goes on to describe his first meeting with Robbins, and the workshop Robbins led which helped the author to turn his life around. McClendon describes and explains many techniques which Black people can use to improve our mental and emotional states in order to empower ourselves in any situation. This book is very inspiring, as it proves that we truly have the power over our own lives in our hands.

Summary: unlimited power a black choice
Review: Unlimited power is a milestone in black personal achievement. It tells the reader how to take control of your mind, body and emotions to get what you want and become a force for good. What I like about it the most and what sets it apart from other black self help books out there is its based on science. NLP is the science of modeling excellence in people wherever you see it whether its in self made millionaires or someone who just knows how to be healthy or you could even use the technology to learn algebra or calculus it doesn't matter. I've used it myself to learn computers now I'm using it to learn how to make more money. The book has Anthony Robbins name on it but it's Joseph's voice through the whole book except for the intro. I think it is essential reading for any black man or woman that wants to become a success in this white dominated society. This book does show you the skills of persuading yourself and other people to do what you want them to do.

The book's goal to give black people access to "unlimited power" I think definitely this book should be read by all african americans because it got me to make decisons about what I wanted and got me to take action. I also learned to actually control my emotional states of mind. There are some deep things in this book about the lies of success that didn't make sense to me initially but they do now. I can sum this book up like this : If black people are to succeed they must change three things: 1. We must raise our standards. 2. We must change our beliefs. 3. We must change our strategies . This book if taken to heart is a golden opportunity to do all that.
