Rating: Summary: Open your Mind for Heavens Sake! Review: It's amazing to me how many people in society think that psychologists and psychiatrists are the "know all" of the human mind. It's the same with medicine (especially in medicine). Do the research...you'd be amazed on what you'd find. (especially on how much money doctors make pharmaceutical companies a year..and how about those kickbacks!)Why is it that much of society is dogmatic? Raised on beliefs of their parents (handed down from their parents and so on) and the "norms" of society shaped very much by the media. Society as a whole fails to think for themselves. Ask someone why they believe what they believe and most can't give you any logic behind it. That's sad. Robbins teaches us to break our negative belief patterns by challenging your beliefs. Why do you believe what you believe? Robbins offers logical principles much of what is taken from NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). I've been a fan of his ideaology since 1990. Have an open mind and stop giving into the dogmatic views of the western culture.

Rating: Summary: If you are stuck in a rut this will really help you Review: I first read this book a few years ago when I was jobless and feeling only despair . The overriding feeling and message I got from the book was that your past was not equal to your future. It gave me new inspiration to continue and more importantly it gave me some much needed advice on how to deal with rejection when it inevitably comes along. Mr Robbins is a great motivator and I expecially like that fact that he rarely embellishes his work with any religious hocus-pocus . He makes you believe that it is in your own power to make changes and I now believe that everybody is responsible for their own happiness and destiny .Before i always used yo blame others for my problems. Perhaps the book does mirror what others say bit the book is so well-written that you always feel better having read a few pages of it . Although i first read this book 3 years ago I still keep my dog-eared copy of it . It's like a personal handbook that I refer to again and again whenever I need some inspiration . This is the highest recommendation I can give it.
Rating: Summary: Don't waste your money Review: If you're into these self-help manuals- save yourself alot of money and borrow them from your local library. Most of these books contain superficial, insubstantial and not to mention highly recycled information. Useful principles in these self-improvement guides eg.changing ones attitude and beliefs can be condensed and written on a sheet of A4 paper. Remember college or highschool? Just take notes from the book, then these self-help books no longer serve their purpose since they're full of silly vain anecdotes anyway. And this way you will retain the information. Get a life!
Rating: Summary: Increadible, laser-like, phenomenal, ecstatic, captivating ! Review: I seldom finish a book but the information and his way of communicating is so intense and compelling that I just can't stop reading. He relays such 'a profound knowledge' so passionately that I could actually feel my heart pounding. I have always known that I am more that I am demonstrating. He literally helped me to follow through and storm through the walls that used to bother me. When I started reading this book I said to myself that this is a very knowledgable man; when I got to the last chapter, though, it suddenly hit me, "Anthony Robbins is one of the greatest men alive!"
Rating: Summary: It Works! Wonderful! Review: All I can say is : Wonderfu
Rating: Summary: Life will never be the same again! Review: I loved Tony's book. It changed my life forever. To the people reading this, here is what I believe to be true. All the information Tony supplies us with is obviously already within us. He is the ultimate coach in the area of human development. I can also tell you for a man with no education he has a Ph.D . How, you say. He has a Ph.D in results. He can turn the most limited minded person into what their true potential really is. He gets people from knowing what to do, to doing what they know. He is relentless in his pursuit. Anyone out there that does not understand him is obviously has some major disempowering associations. I do not work for Tony, though I would love to. Anyway, I found an affective strategy that I can utilize on a consitent basis in order to enhance the quality of my life.Tony is the ultimate mentor of success. It works. Try it, but make sure you put 100% of yourself into it and stay committed. What do you have to lose? Tom
Rating: Summary: TONY'S WORKS CHANGED MY LIFE! Review: I agree with the previous reviewer. The guy from Los Angeles knows not of what he babbles. I bought this book when it first came out in hardcover and have bought several paperbacks for friends and family members. I went back and looked at the goals I set on the pages of that hardcover book in 1991 and I ACHIEVED EVERY SINGLE GOAL!!! I overcame a serious illness, met my solemate and married her, bought the dream house, got closer to God, achieved my career goals, etc. etc.. I used the techniques and took the action, turned pain into pleasure and now I'm working on my next set of goals. The book is fun reading. I appreciated the areas that were highlighted, underlined and italicized for quick review. I was curious about all the negative one-star reviews and wonder if they really read the book and/or put what Tony Robbins teaches into action. However, it looks like the vast majority of the reviewers have had great experiences similar to mine. With only the exception of the Holy Bible, this book, ranks right up there with the greatest books of all time. Everything is a choice. I'm very grateful I bought this book and applied its content. It truly brought joy, love and satisfaction into my life.
Rating: Summary: This is the book I've been looking for. Review: After reading the psycho-babble of the reader from Los Angeles, I had to comment. I am familiar with all of that and if it gets you out of bed in the morning--great. Tony Robbins book has been a key for drawing together a lot that I know but have not been able to put into practice. I have learned that simplicity is really quite a good determinant of wisdom. If I can't understand something, how can I accomplish it? Awaken The Giant Within is very exciting to me because I can check what is said against my experience. Robbins is not "the expert" who's words cannot be verified, but must be taken on trust. Rather, He states his case and you are free to test it out. By me early tests, the book holds up, and I would be able to recomend it.
Rating: Summary: Tony is very motvating & inspiring. Review: My intro to Tony was though his first book, "Unlimited Power" and tape of the same name. At the time I was like a miniture version of Tony, broke, lonely and newly divorced. Tony's book and tape got me massive immediate results. Since then I have been a student of Tony Robbins and added "Awaken the Giant Within" both the book and audio tape and also started to pick up copies of "PowerTalk" My financial life was also a mess and through Tony's "PowerTalk" series, I was introduced to Charles J. Givens and as per Tony's advice went out and bought "Wealth Without Risk" (now More Wealth without Risk) Givens book did as much for my financial life as Tony's material did for me on a personal development level. Thank you Tony for some great books, tapes and especially for some GREAT RESULTS!
