5.0 out of 5 stars This book unleashed the Giant within me!, June 12, 1999

By A Customer

I first saw Tony Robbins on the Joan Rivers show back in 1993. I was very impressed by his charisma and energy, but like many others, felt that Tony Robbins was just a salesman trying to dupe the naive into buying his books and then all of the other products, seminars etc. At work, I ran into a friend who was radiant (unusual for her) and unusually bubbly She told me some of the changes in her life that were taking place and she had begun to read this book: "Awaken the Giant" What really impressed me were the changes that started taking place in the days and weeks that folowed. She started to lose weight, was participating more in meetings at work, and then got promoted. I was impressed. So I decided that this must work. I went out and bought Awaken the Giant and began to use the techniques such as "the swish pattern" and"scrambling technique" Awaken the Giant is a huge book, but I read it in one week. My job performance improved immediately as did my tennis game. I got immediate and dramatic results. This is not just a "feel good book" the techniques really work. My girlfriend also recommended that I read "More Wealth without Risk" by Charles Givens. She told me that More Wealth without Risk did as much for her on a Financial Level than Awaken the Giant did on a personal development level. I went out and read that book and I got equally dramatic results from a financial perspective. I highly recommend both books to anyone who wants to dramatically change their lives...and quickly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awaken the Giant YOU within YOU, January 31, 2004

By A Customer

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A super self development book., December 25, 1999

By	Lou Caputo (USA) - See all my reviews

I must confess that after seeing Tony Robbins informercial, I thought he was the king of hype. Then our local Waldens had Awaken the Giant and Unlimited Power on sale for $2.99 each! At that price, I figured how could I go wrong.Much to my surprise, the techniques worked. Swish patterns and anchors have helped me tremendously. Now having experienced remarkable results, I would have gladl paid the full cover price for each plus some more.If you are in business or in a managerial position, then I highly recommend Direct from Dell by Mike Dell. Great book for anyone in a leadership role.Thank you Tony for your great work.
