I am really enjoying this book It really makes you stop and think about your life and how you react to things that happen in it. And helps you to over come your fear and things that are stopping you from fulling your with good things. Great read so far

Absolutely brilliant book. Opened my eyes and showed me the way. This book really changed my life for the better.

This is my first purchase by Tony Robbins. I have previously watched a bunch of his on-line videos, and was impressed and interested, and wanted more. This is the abridged audio version, a mix of studio and live recordings.

When I started listening to it, I was intrigued and was easily pulled in, but was left wanting much more when it was done. (Looking at the size of the book afterward, it looks to be briefly hitting highlights, as one hour cannot come close to covering all of the content of the 421-page book.)

This is about producing results in our lives, through action. He looks at various things such as our belief system, discusses Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP, how language effects our nervous system) modeling other successful people's traits, such as energy, passion, belief, clarity of values, and mastering communication. He teaches: The quality of our life is the quality of our communication - with ourselves and others. He gave an example of the Colonel Sanders story of his starting Kentucky Fried Chicken: Beginning as a retiree on social security, with nothing more than a good recipe and an idea - and being rejected 1009 times before getting his first franchise partner saying yes.

I figure this is the low-cost, entry-level condensed version for busy people, to expose more people to Tony's message and help draw people to the "full meal deal experience." I'm impressed and looking forward to much more, so I'll be reading the full book and getting more audio products.

Great book! I've been a fan of Tony for years. This is one of those timeless books that never fails to inspire!

This is THE ONLY book you need to read. I am strongly interested in psychology and self help books, this cut the "fluff" and got straight to the bits you need to know. It's like all of the most perfect pieces of advice put together into the most perfect book, written perfectly, structured perfectly, flowing perfectly and in an easy to understand format. At the same time, trying to employ all of these techniques is just too much for a beginner all at once, but one step at a time, I will master them all.
I borrowed this from my library, however judging from the sheer amount of useful notes I made from this book, I need to buy myself a copy, because all I did was retype this book.
This book is really an educational short course. It may take you a little longer to read because I strongly advise you complete the small activities throughout the book (there's not too many). You simply will not get everything you can from this book if you skip over them.

This book for me, is life changing. Thank you


I've learnt:
* the ultimate success formula
Know your outcome, take action, develop the sensory acuity to know wha you're getting and change your behaviour until you get what you want.

* success is available to all of us but those who achieve it are those who take action. Knowledge is important but it's not enough.
* Modelling. Every result produced by an individual was created by some specific set of actions in some specific syntax. You can greatly decrease the time it takes to master something by modelling the internal actions (mental) and external actions (physical) of people who produce outstanding results.
* Communication is key. Communication with yourself. The meaning of any event is the meaning you give it. You can send your brain powerful, positive signals that will make everything work for you or you can send your brain signals about what you can't do.
Communication with others. You have learnt everything in this book to become a master communicator.
* Positive beliefs can make you a master. Negative. Reliefs can make you a loser. You can change your beliefs to make them work for you.
* The power of state and physiology
* Syntax and strategies people use.
* How to establish rapport with anyone.
* Reframing and anchoring tools
* How to avoid the "fluff" (generalisations) that kill communication by using the precision model to get others to communicate effectively with you.
* Handling the 5 road blocks to success.
* Metaprograms and values that serve as the organising principles for personal behaviour.

Change leads to more change. Just start somewhere. Growth leads to more growth.

Add more value to people's lives.
Call. Make an effort. Appreciate them.

An amazing book and a must for anyone who wants to learn NLP. I found the book filled with lots of details and doesn't get to the point directly, but this is not a bad thing, at least for me, because there are many inspiring stories that motivated me.

If you are some on who have no knowledge about NLP and you want to learn it then this book is a good choice. Also, like any other self development books, nothing will change without taking actions :-) After all, like what Jim Rohn said, you can't hire someone to do your pushups.

Lastly, NLP is a powerful tool to transfer your life. It works for students, sales people and more. So no matter where are you in life, there should be something for you that you can apply.

This is another great book by this author that has the power to change your life. This man has devoted his life to find and harness the power to change your life.

Anthony ‘Tony’ Robbins saved my life about 4 years ago (2015). I was working an office job where I was routinely bullied by co-worker and made to feel I was awkward and insignificant by many of the other staff. Combined with a home life with an emotionally abusive father, I felt trapped. This awoken from my twin demons called ‘Anxiety’ and ‘Depression.

Many times, I found myself at the wire frame of the work staircase on the top floor and argued with myself not to jump off onto the pavement. The only thing that stopped me was watching Tony Robbins motivational videos on YouTube, which I used to motivate me to get out of bed in the morning and to go back to work after lunch. The strength I got eventually inspired me to leave and live a happier life.

I’ve finally reunited with Tony in 2019, where I have read his debut novel ‘Unlimited Power’. Tony is a Motivational speaker (probably the most famous) who has released countless books, tapes, audiobooks and is famous for his presentations where he claims he can get anyone to walk on burning coals in under 2 minutes. A ‘fire walker’.

You either love Tony or you think he is ridiculous. Despite how you feel, this is a wonderful and easy to read self-help book which focuses on using ‘NLP’ - Neurolinguistic Programming - to change how our mind works. It’s mainly about how we can be successful in achieving our goals if we alter and manipulate our ‘state’ and how we communicate messages to ourself.

However being published in 1985, the public figures he speaks about are very outdated (maybe there is a revised edition of this book?) and his views on mental health are a little insensitive - he argues people who suffer from depression or severe anxiety choose to be this way.

But there is a lot to get from this book. I’ll definitely re-read. And so should you.

The science of NLP shines through here and although it isn't as well written as Awaken the Giant, this earlier book is still an essential read for anyone wishing to change their life!

One of the best books I have ever read

Comparto la idea general que quiere transmitir el autor. Estoy de acuerdo en que nuestra mentalidad, y nuestro cerebro, a veces nos ponen obstáculos para conseguir nuestros objetivos en la vida. Depende de nosotros cambiar eso.

El problema es que el libro es aburrido y muy repetitivo. Y a veces (muchas) tiene un tufillo a telepredicador, que echa para atrás.

I wanted to read this more than 20 years ago. Better late than never!

It's amazing how much Tony has packed into this book. No wonder he's the king of personal development.

This was the book that catapulted NLP into prominence. However, this book contains much more than NLP.

Some of the examples, research and information is outdated but overall if you filter all that out, it still contains very practical, helpful strategies to transform your life.
