Read Carefully before you buy it!, February 17, 2004
I have listen to almost all AR books and definetly he is a very good writer and motivator. he helped me a lot. My comment is not on his work but on this book particulairly.
Before you really go and purchase please do know that this book is no different than other AR books. His theory is based on one 6 steps formulawhich is repeated over and over again. I think he is good in marketing because he covers same formula with different packages. There is nothing new in this book than his first book.
However if you never listened or read his books this is the most comprehensive one. I advise you to purchase an audio version because u get more motivated with his voice. But if you had already other Anthony books, dont waste ur money. Try Power of Now!

Comprehensive lessons on different strategies., January 7, 2003
Anthony Robbins talks about different topics on these audio CD's. Some of these include decision making (a big one with him), using metaphors in our life, living in our technologically-advancing world, and knowing what we want. These are just a few of thing concepts and topics he talks about. I like many things that Tony Robbins writes because he gives us the key to any of the technical stuff that he uses--that we have to take the effort and do it! He constantly talks about not just listening to the tape, and this is important to hear. In these CD's, he discusses his role as a coach, and that is what he is. Not just someone who gives the information, but also reminds us that we have to do something with it.
As for the techniques, I have not been able to take advantage of all of them yet. I think the beauty of it is that I think one of his strategies is to give people many different ways of reaching their goals, becoming happy, and improving their lives and people can choose which ones they like and might fit in with their personality and style.
I recommend this to you if you are willing to do some work in improving yourself. If you just want to listen to the CD's and say, "that's nice" it probably won't work for you.

We all have incredible potential, here's how you harness it., August 16, 2003
By A Customer
I can only speak from my own personal experiences. I think the previous review was a total bunch of crock by a person who seems to have some sort of deep-rooted anti-Robbins bias.
Here's my take: Tony Robbins seems to bring out the best potential in people who are open to what he has to teach. I have purchased many of Robbins' books and tapes and each one has been a huge help to me in some way. Robbins' "techniques" are not his own. The has taken the best in human performance condensed it, and brought it to the masses. I am skeptical and negative by nature, it's how I was brought up. I didn't like these negaitive traits and I wanted to make some serious changes. What this program, along with other Robbins material has done, is to help me where I am not able to produce the desired results in my life I want. And by applying the techniques with focus and work, I have been able to overcome my shortfalls and move forward logatithmicly in my life. To compare my life now to ten years ago, I can not even begin to tell you of how much greater my life has improved.
In ten years I've gone from:
Being hopelessly single to happily married to my best friend and the love of my life;
Worked on having a successful marriage;
Have two wonderful daughters my wife and I have adopted;
Being in a lousy low paying job to owning my own successful business;
Built a custom home from scratch;
Became a local chapter president of a very prestigious organization comprised of my peers;
Became chairman for a local well-known charity;
Lost 20 pounds and have stayed in somewhat decent shape
Attained a Masters Degree.
And I am on my way to:
Becoming independently wealthy;
Owning a vacation home;
Getting my private pilot's license;
Owning my own plane;
Starting another business.
and others...
And the conduit for having all of this is through the Lord God Almighty and having investing my time in what God and Tony Robbins has to teach. Others may choose to nay-say. I just want to put in my yea-say's. Take it from a previous die-hard skeptic, Tony Robbins' programs can have had a profound and positive impact on your life if you CHOOSE to open up and give what he has to teach a try. There are no Samantha Stevens' nose-twitches, magic wands, or genie's in a bottle. There's a lot of hard work that goes with Robbins' curriculm.
Now, to the previous reviewer from the great State of New Jersey... If your desired goal is to become the best Tony Robbins critic and basher, CONGRATULATIONS! You've succeeded in setting and accomplishing your goals...WITH PASSION! (See Matt, I told you this stuff works!) ;-)
