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!

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.

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!) ;-)

I play these cds when I do housework to keep my mind occupied. It's amazing to me how listening to them can change my attitude and my day completely. Tony can, in about 5 minutes, take me from lonely, depressed, tired, and unmotivated to energized, happy, grateful, solution-oriented, and completely motivated. I am actually on Amazon now to buy some other Tony Robbins product.

Also, to that person that says the cds are worthless because they contain too much "common sense," I say that if you are ever a person who feels ungrateful, overwhelmed, or depressed, then you probably need reminders of these "common sense" principles once in a while.

If you are set in your ways and are stubborn than any lesson will be difficult and perhaps impossible. I have listened to the comments stating that Anthony Robbins is merely more than a professor of common sense, and that in part is true. We may listen to these discs and read these books and say to ourselves, "Duh, that's simple." This simple realization made, common sense is something we all have but rarely tap into. We often dispel common sense for a more complicated answer to our troubles. It is often simple, subtle changes to our lives that can make lasting improvement.

While Robbins may seem to perpetuate the same principles, as a reader of his material I can say that each new piece offers new value to the reader. I would say that this is not a regurgitation of previous material but a consolidation of many great works of Robbins.

The index and topics are well organized helpful and well laid out. The CD's make a great filler for a long road trip and are only cerebral enough to engage those interested in change. Robbin's subtle yet substantial presence may be worthless to the skeptics and those who are not genuinely interested in change.

I give this a 5 star rating for value and quality.

This audio tape program by Anthony Robbins is excellent. Some of the information is familiar...some is off his popular Power Talk series, but hey, sometimes we need to be reminded. However, there is also new information that you won't find on other Robbins programs.

With Lessons in Mastery, you will learn how to:

* Experience true happiness

* Harness yoour decision-making power

* Anticipate and prepare for major life changes

* Commit yourself to daily improvement

* Replace dormant resources with new assets that will improve
the quality of your life.

* Empower yourself to take the right moves at the right time

This program is 4 tapes and 6 hours of power packed information that will make a difference in your life.

I think Tony Robbins is the best speaker I ever heard. If you want to change your life for the better than buy these cds. I don't see him as a motivator I think he's more of a coach because he strongly recommends you take action to get results. I also recommend Live with Passion!

I borrowed the audio set from the library and listened to each CD 3-6 times! When the time was up, I knew that I had to buy it! In the short about of time it has positively affected my life. It was so moving and powerful. I have listened to many audio books and Anthony Robbins's voice is the most inspiring!

Put this on your mp3 player and listen to it everywhere you go.

He has way with words, no doubt. Tony Robbins has some heavy duty charisma. No doubt. It even shows in his book. I think he is an alien with some powers or something. You read his book and it motivates you to think you can take on the world. Problem is, that doesn't last long once you go back out into it. Another book I would like to recommend, one that I love, is called, The Little Guide To Happiness. Don't leave home without it.
