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 Very powerful communicator, June 8, 2003

By	Mark (USA) - See all my reviews

Tony Robbins is absolutely outstanding as a communicator both on tape and in print.

I have his Personal Power program along with AWTG and Unlimited Power.

Tony has a way to make you get fired up about success and take action. Many other books on motivation and especially NLP are boring.

5.0 out of 5 stars A VERY GOOD BOOK, July 16, 1998

By A Customer

I enjoyed AWAKEN THE GIANT and feel that this book gave me a new lease on life. It's very easy to read, entertaining, uplifting as well as informational. Tony Robbins has the ability to get you to "take action" like no one else.

If you just read the book, you'll get knowledge. If you read and apply that knowledge by doing the exercises, you'll get results like you've never seen before!

I also subscribe to Tony's "PowerTalk" Program and highly endorse it. Nobody communicates with the power of ROBBINS.

As a result of "PowerTalk" I've been building my library as per Robbins recommendations. I particularly enjoyed Barbara DeAngelis "Are you the one for me" and Charles Givens "Wealth without Risk" and the related interviews with Tony on the "PowerTalk" Tapes. In fact, if anyone had to pick just three books that would substantially turn their life's around, the three best books would be 1)Awaken the Giant-perso! ! nal development and achievement, 2)Are you the one for me?-relationships and to ignite that passion in your life and, 3) Wealth without Risk-for building and keeping wealth.

So thank you TONY ROBBINS for not only helping me reach a new level of personal achievement with your book and tapes, BUT also for recommending DEANGELIS & GIVENS. Without your recommendation, I never would have considered buying their material.

I also own Tony's "PERSONAL POWER" audio program. It was the best $180 I ever spent!
