Summary: Life changing
Review: Best book ever read from my part, especialy the section on Energie. I've been to Tony's seminars date with destiny and UPW etc. 10/10 Beleive me he walk's the talk and vice a versa. Most of all he creats results. Succes leaves clues remember? I think he has left us a map. This is more than positive thinking, it's understanding how to become happier with your life. His whole approche is based on helping people and making money - Selling is legal, last I heard. So let the soft mouths be silent for he is making a difference. Thanks for the inspiration Tony ! Your the best Steve Lachance

Summary: Very vague
Review: This book is a really long book for a self-help book. I am in immediate need of help and I have to read 400 pages? Is it worth the read? Not. Is it inspirational? Slightly. It is a very vague book on NLP popularized by Bandler and Grinder. You are better off searching for books by these guys. For even better stuff, search for book under Milton Erickson, the father of hypnosis whom Bandler and Grinder studied under. Why am I telling you all this? Well, this book is basically on human psychology. To understand yourself and others, this is the topic to study and what this book preaches, but very vaguely. Robbins has become a very wealthy man because of other people's work which once again proved you don't have to invent or build a better mouse trap. You only need to market it well.

Summary: No congruence!
Review: How can you take advice on success from someone that never done anything but sell himself? How can you take advice from someon who has: Left his wife for someone who he's cheated with, endorses many MLM companies if they'll pay him to go directly to the top, and changes his philosophies on diet, depending on how much money he'll make? Have you ever looked up the number of times that this guy has been sued? Sure, he'll tell you that it's because it is because he is famous and people are out to get him -- If that's true, how come Nice people like Zig Ziglar, Chic Hearn, Brian Tracy, Ken Blanchard, etc., never get their name in the paper due to lawsuits or disputes? They are ALL much more famous than a guy who has had massive constructive surgery. If you're going to write a book on walking your talk, why not start by living what you espouse?

Summary: Helped me!!!
Review: This is an amazing book. Anthony Robbins quickly helps you identify what you really want to accomplish in life, and how to accomplish it as quickly and easily as possible. In my own case, this book helped me acheive my biggest goal in life: to stop wasting eight hours per day sleeping. By following Anthony Robbins' plan and effectively motivating myself, I was able to reduce my nightly sleep requirement to seven hours; then six; then five, four, three, two and one. Within two months I was able to remain awake 24 hours per day. And now, one year later, I am completly free of the need to sleep. I haven't slept in over a year! Not only do I have more free time, but I also have more money since I work double shifts as a nighttime security guard, in adition to my daytime job as a CEO of a dot.com company in Silicon Valley. I'm also much happier today, since I have perfected the ability to construct and visualize hallucinations while I set at my security desk.

Summary: Headtrip!!
Review: I found this book to be a nauseating headtrip. Yes, there was some interesting if not valuable information, but you'd go nuts if you were to take it all on board & in the manner prescribed. I wouldn't recomend this book to a teenager or young adult without life perspective. Some of it may get you pumped up, though there's no info for the gut or the heart. As well it only skims on many issues, though seemingly infering that's all you need. It will open your eyes - however relevant depends on where you are on your journey. I'd regard this as more of a tabloid 'self help" book. If you want to go deep, look else where.

Summary: Disappointing
Review: Anthony Robbins Companies highly recommended I read this book before buying anything from them. Unfortunatly, I'd already purchased Personal Power II, attended Tony's Unleash the Power Within Seminar in Tampa, FL and signed up for his Life Mastery Seminars. Anthony Robbins is an incredible man, but the only value I received from reading this book was learning how he became so successful in such a short period of time. The book covers a lot of the same material in Personal Power II and Unleash the Power Within. Tony is a vegetarian, and his nutrition advice is slanted in that direction. I learned a lot about the lifestyle, but I found most of his advice useless. The program he sells and writes about in this book is called Living Health. I've been to the seminar and listened to the tapes because I wanted to try the program to see what it was like. It was the worst diet I've ever been on in my life. If you want a practical exercise and nutrition program that really works try Body-for-Life by Bill Phillips. If you are a fan of Anthony Robbins and you don't have this book then save your money and borrow it from a friend or pick it up at the library because you'd be better of buying something by Richard Bandler, John Grinder or NLP Comprehensive.

Summary: Very disappointing
Review: I bought this book after reading Unlimited Selling Power--a great book. This one by Anthony Robbins leaves much to be desired. Interesting reading, but low on content. I highly recommend Unlimited Selling Power for some real techniques. For relationships, read Phillip McGraws books. For personal development read Stephen Covey or Denis Waitley. If you just like to read, then borrow this one from your library or pick it up for [low price] at a second hand book store.

Summary: Seminal In Its Time - Get It, Read It, Use It
Review: Glancing over some of the recent reviews of this book, I got quite a chuckle. Apparently, some recent readers of this don't realize that when it was first published (1986), no previously published books that explained NLP had ever come remotely close to reaching a mainstream audience. Tony Robbins changed all that with his own brand of showmanship and self-aggrandizing promotion. Like it or not, he quickly demonstrated a mastery of NLP and 'walked his talk' at seminars and in front of TV audiences around the country. Some may consider this book dated but when I pick up my copy from 1986 and re-read underlined passages, I still find gems of wisdom I missed way back when. If you want to succeed, if you want more 'juice' from life, pick up this book and its successor, Awaken The Giant Within, read 'em and start using them. They changed my life - they can change yours. Or, as Tony says in the book - "The Past Does Not Equal The Future."

Summary: Not that good - Save your money
Review: I agree with the reviewer that said that Tony Robbins only uses NLP for self promotion. In this book, he only touches on it and doesn't appear to understand it all that well himself.I do not recommend this book. Read NLP: The New Technology of Achievement or Learn NLP for some real meat without the fat.

Summary: Out of Date and not particularly good for it's time
Review: This book was published in 1986, and it shows. I was expecting something more current when I bought this book. There is a lot of filler in this book. The text raves about the methods and tells lots of stories of great results, but there is not much discussion of the methods. The discussion of NLP is weak. You can't really learn what NLP is or how to use it from this book. For Tony Robbins NLP was a sales gimick, not something he is committed to teaching anyone. I feel like I wasted my money on this book, and I hope to save you the same fate.
