If you have done the "Personal Power" series, you probably will like this although there is not a lot of totally new thought here. If you have not, you can start here and experience the very best in motivational tools. This guy pretty much says it like it is:

(1) Get your rear out of bed early in the morning
(2) Take time to reflect on who you are and who you wish to be
(3) Exercise and eat right (more on this below)
(4) Decide what you really want, and take action immediately and every day to make that work.

He has some neat techniques to help you stay on track and focus without getting bogged-down with too much planning. In my experience in working with people, I find that most either plan too much (and never execute) or they don't plan at all and wander around aimlessly. This program helps you to find the right balance.

I'm not a huge fan of the dietary recommendations, as I don't believe there is good science behind some of the theories (at least none I could find on PubMed, Medscape, or credible medical journals). However, I don't thing the recommendation of eating less meat and lots more vegetables will cause harm to anyone! [What seems to work for me is a diet that consists of lots of green vegetables and salads, some fuits, Fiber One cereal in the morning with skim milk and berries, and a small-portion lean protien source with lunch and dinner meal - preferably fish or one-quarter grilled chicken breast.]

Depending on where you are at in your life this may have a lot to offer you. I wasn't all that familiar with Anthony before my co-worker said "Hey, I got this at a tag sale, see if there's anything you want to listen to". I took to it immediately. I felt charged to make major changes. I also thought "Wow, what a great guy. Genuine, really out to make the world a better place." I asked around to see if my friends had heard of him and all I got were negative comments about him being annoying and conceited. I can't imagine they have actually listened to him because he is far from those things in my eyes. Have they heard his messages??? Through these discs, Anthony gives solid actions you can take to improve the quality of your life. It is a step by step guide. I found no part of it unreasonable. It makes so much sense. It's great even when things are going well as motivation to continue on the path that is making things work for you.

Worth every penny!
Takes the bulky 30 Day Personal Power Program and condenses it into 1 week! I highly recommend!!

The Get The Edge CD changed our lives 8 years ago. Dave my husband was a police officer and I was an employee for a local city government. We were indebt, unhappy, working long hours and dissatisfied with our life. When we won this 7 CD set at a local chamber of commerce auction, my husband Dave started listening to the CD every morning at 5am when he rode the train to downtown LA to work. All of the sudden I started to notice a pep in his step, something was changing about him. He came back and told me: "This guy is amazing." Then I noticed Dave started going on walks every day. He started to eat healthier. I asked him to give me the first CD because I was not about to let him change without me :-)

Needless to say, we both started listening to the CD's and they helped us change various areas of our lives. 8 years later, we are self-made millionaires, have achieved success in health, wealth, relationships and we even started our own personal development and seminar training company. It has been life changing and break-through for us. Thank you Tony Robbins for all you have share with us every step of the way!!

Get the Edge: A 7-Day Program To Transform Your Life

It worked for us (as did Personal Power) the first time and, again, this time around. WHEN WE REALLY LISTEN TO WHAT IS BEING SAID, we pick up new issues to focus on and improve with each session, some that we missed the last time. Life is too precious to keep on making the same mistakes. Thank you TONY!!!! When it gets down to it, it's up to us to make it all happen. For those who are serious about this, the green fresh ph diet actually works. Have known an actual case where it cured cancer in a good friend. Chow

I just finish with "Get the Edge" and I have to say I learned a lot of wild stuff in this course. If you do what he tells you to do and take action than one thing I can guaranteed you is success in all of the areas in your life.

Get the Edge is a very powerful motivational program. Tony Robbins really knows what he is talking about and really gives a lot of powerful techniques that you can use straight away to find that "gap" between where you are now, and where you want to be, so that you can begin to close that gap. He is so full of energy it is infectious and you will be swept away with the energy, if you are like me.

For a whole month after this, I was getting up at 4 in the morning to do my hour of power. Now I do it 3 days a week but I have really kept the spirit of this program with me every minute of the day. It changed my life, and it can change your life too. Tony is such a powerful motivational speaker that he will get in your head and motivate you to seriously achieve your goals TODAY! He is really good at firing people up and getting them excited to make changes in their lives! And that's good, it's really great if you use it and put your effort into it.

I can understand people's complaints about this product though. If you don't "buy into" Tony Robbins, and you don't believe that his words can help you, then he won't be able to help you because you will be too negative to listen to what he's saying and just take it for what it is. I can really understand why people would say that this program lacks details and direction because it seems like he goes from one thing to the next- trying to help you with your health, controlling your emotions, how to be successful, getting the relationship that you've always wanted, and finding fulfillment and joy in your life.

When you realize that the scope of this 7 day program is to try to change your entire life for the better, you will be overwhelmed with how powerful this stuff is. Tony Robbins does not provide a lot of very specific directions for everyone to follow, because everyone is different, and every situation is different. What he does tell you is WHAT WORKS. Tony says that Reasons come first, and answers come second, and that is absolutely true, I have seen it in my own life at least a hundred times! You have to go out there and JUST DO IT, you can't sit at home and listen to Tony Robbins CDs and hope it will come to you. I mean, that's a good start, but it is up to you to change your life, and no one else.

What Tony tries to get you to do in this program is to come up with powerful reasons for change, he helps you figure out what direction to go in, and then he motivates you!! All you need to do is take the ball, and run with it, and your life will drastically change into what you have wanted all along! Tony does make it easy, but not everyone is going to put into it what they want to get out of it. So that is one of the reasons why I think people may not like this program, is because it actually takes effort. And if you are not willing to apply to effort to get the life that you want, then Tony Robbins is not for you. Just read the product description and decide if it is something that you would be willing to do: Transform Your Life. If that sounds like something you need or want to do, then get this program!

The other reason I have Thought that people might not like this program is that Tony is speaking to his entire audience throughout. Since Tony is a world-renowned motivational speaker and coach, he works with a vast assortment of people all the time. And if you have heard all of the proper statistics, then a huge portion of Americans are obese! So Tony speaks a lot to people who are obese, and there is a large focus in this program on health. But I do not think that that is any reason for someone who believes themselves to be fit to not get this program. The Hour of Power makes you unstoppable throughout the day, whether you need the exercise or not (most people do). And if you don't have your health, you have nothing. So everyone can always become more healthy, and that would be a good thing, so do not become angry that he is talking to people who are at different points in their lives.

I also saw a comment on here where someone said that Tony basically blabbers on about the same stuff in personal power and doesn't get to the point. I just want to say that anyone who believes that when you hear something one way, you already know it and therefore don't need to learn it again, will never master all of the principles that are taught in this and Tony's other programs, as well as basically anywhere else from anybody. Hearing things in a new light creates new and deeper understanding, and the reason that Tony never "reaches the point" is that the point of everyone's life is different, so how is he supposed to tell you what you are meant to do on this earth? He just wants to help you get there, but you are the only one who knows where "there" is.

There is something for everyone in this program, and if you apply the knowledge, even the stuff that he says you feel is not directed at you can be something from which to learn and grow and helpful to your life if applied correctly. I think that this program is worth much more than it is selling for, because you can't put a price on growth, and that is what this program will help you do. I highly suggest it for anyone who wants to work at their life and bring themselves to the next level. For everyone else I would suggest Personal Power first, and then come to this program, because you need to bring an open and positive attitude to this program in order to achieve the changes that Tony is talking about.

Cd's arrived and I could not wait to listen to them. The program has been so inspiring spiritually emotionally and physically. Answering some very important questions and allowing more focus in my life towards the directions that I am meant to go. I highly recommend this program for anyone needing grounding, inspiration and wisdom. Tony Robbins is direct in his approach and way of speaking, which I appreciate.

This is a 14 day program - there is a 7 day personal power course and 7 days is the Get the edge course. The instructions say listen to Personal power and then listen to Get the edge. Personal power was brilliant and if I rated that on its own I would have given 5 stars. However, the Get The Edge part of the program was tedious listening....it starts off well but Tony just goes on and on and on and on......rambling on about a topic without getting to the point - there are parts of this where he is so hyped up that he doesn't even make sense - it's as though he is blurting out random nonsense. At various points during the course he try's to sell you various things from his special "Green drink" to coaching lessons, to seats at his various seminars.....while at the same time telling us what a great guy he is because he gives lots to charity and how he has looked after someone else's children since he was 24 years of age, blah blah blah. If you look at the credentials of the Green drink on the internet you'll see that the US authorities have instigated legal action against the manufacturers for making highly exaggerated claims about it being able to cure cancer.

Overall, steer clear of this product. If you wanted to purchase an Anthony Robbins course I think you would probably be better with the full Personal Power course (the one in this set is a shortened version).

We enjoyed Anthony Robbin's Get The Edge tapes so much we decided to sign up for a course. Also we found shopping online with Amazon to be easy and much more econimical.
