Favorite!

I've read 3 books by Tony Robbins and this is still by far my favorite out of all of them. This is a must read!

Quality is too bad.

The book I received is torn from binding.

Very poor condition not very good. Also this is an older version of this book not the updated versio

I am not reviewing the material just the physical book itself

A Fresh review, almost 7 years later!

Hi all, I originally wrote a review for this book back in 1998. See 'Easy and exciting to read, with amazing results., January 11, 1998 Reviewer: A reader' That was me! At that time I was back in the UK and finishing up in University. In my original review, I emphasised how easy it is to apply the lessons that Mr. Robbins suggests in this book. Having recently reviewed the posts near to mine, I noticed something very interesting. Very few posts have been marked as 'helpful' where the post is giving the book a positive review. But WOW! Look at all the 'helpful' agreements for all those that have something negative to say about it!! Those people who say nothing good about it, obviously haven't applied the everyday principles to their lives, to help themselves. Now, I'm not suggesting that one should solely rely on just this book for all their advice. Indeed, one should seek confirmation from other sources if needed. But, since reading the book, almost 8 years ago; and giving the review nearly 7 years ago; I have to tell ya, whenever I've hit bad patches, I've referred to the teachings of Mr. Robbins and put myself back on track!! Almost 15 years ago I lost everything I had to my then partner. She took the lot, including our daughter, whom she later gave up for adoption. To this day I have never been able to trace her. (Lots of reasons stand in the way). I tried for several years to get over the depression, even seeking counselling from therapists. Nothing worked. I realised, only I know ME like ME! Mr. Robbin's book helped me understand areas of my life that were in a mess. It helped me to sort them out. In essence, what it did was help me discover myself and my OWN learning processes of success in ALL areas. Including beating severe depression. If you're feeling suicidal, trust me, you're reading this book review because somewhere in your soul and heart, you KNOW there's something better for you ahead in your life, and you're simply seeking answers to sort it out. Suicide is NOT the way. WHATEVER negativity you're feeling in your life right now, you CAN change it by applying the lessons from this book! The authors of book reviews that talk negatively, failed to continue learning. Simple as that. Today, 15 years later, I have achieved EVERYTHING I set out to achieve to end the depression in life. I went to college, then University, and am now married, with a 3 year old son. Also, I now successfully own TWO businesses that I started from scratch, and make more money now than I ever thought possible! Why? Because I learned to believe in MY OWN POWER of change - thanks to Awaken The Giant Within! Not every word is necessary, and this is made clear in the book. Just use what you need! I don't need the book anymore, but I KNOW, I couldn't have reached my goals today, without the invaluable advice from Mr. Robbins. I apply the lessons whenever I'm hit with negativity - which usually comes from those that don't stick with anything long enough to make th

Awaken The Giant is a powerful book

I first saw Anthony Robbins many years ago on the Joan Rivers show along with Charles Givens. Both were talking about success and hawking their respective books; Awaken The Giant and More Wealth Without Risk.What impressed me about Awaken The Giant is that it is not just "feel good" stuff that gives a puffy, artificial high. Tony Robbins offers real meaty advice that works and works right away.NAC or NLP offers fast and permanent change. I had a stuttering problem. After using Tony's methods--gone. Not in months or weeks but right away.I also had a fear of public speaking. When my manager called upon me to speak to our group, I was petrified initially. But after following Tony's advice, using swish patterns and installing anchors, the fear was gone and everyone complimented me on my performance. It didn't take weeks, it took one application.Since then, I have been able to flatten my fears, overcome lifelong phobias e.g. fear of snakes and public speaking. I have made rapid and permanent changes.Awaken The Giant is a great book. It will unleash the giant sleeping inside of you and h elp you reach whatever goals you can realistically set and go for.I also recommend More Wealth Without Risk, a book that does for personal finance what Awaken The Giant does for you on a personal development level and also SuperSelf, another great book by Charles Givens that offers personal development strategies different from what is in Tony Robbins book.

Awaken the Giant YOU within YOU

Yes---there is a sleeping giant inside each of us. We all have untapped potential. According to research people we condier successful are only using 10% or less of their potential. Whatif you could tap into the other 90%? And wht of people who haven't even touched that first 10%?Awaken the Giant has many of the same exercises and techniques that Tony teaches at his $650 seminars and in his $209 personal power program. Awaken the Giant will show you how to tap into that inner giant that has been sleeping all this time. Awaken the Giant will help you unleash the greatness within you.For me, I found the chapter on asking myself questions particularly helpful and a great way to start and finish my day.MANAGING my state instead of letting it be managed by cirumstances was a tremendous help. I use to get bothered by those people that cut me off in traffic then I realized that they are supposed to do that--they're called highway cutter offers. I used to think that liars shouldn't lie. Of course they should--that is why they are called liars.The chapter on goal setting was very helpful and a step up from other books on goal setting that I have read. Learning to use swish patterns effectively also lead to dramatic and rapid changes in behavior for me.I liked Unlimited Power and I like Awaken The Giant even better. Great book. Highly recommended for those who want to achieve the best out of life.
