Standing nearly bald ... I was captivated by Anthony Robbins, May 5, 2005
"Unlimited Power" is an exceptional compliment to "Awaken The Giant Within" and is easily one of the most powerful books I've ever read. In December 1994, after winning a battle with cancer, I stood, nearly bald, in the audience of my first motivational seminar, conducted by Anthony Robbins.
Shortly after the seminar I read "Awaken The Giant Within" and "Unlimited Power" to learn more about taking charge of my destiny. To this day, I refer to these books often for inspiration and guidance.
Over the years, I've read and listened to a great deal of self-help material in my quest to discover the secret to success. Without question, this book provides the clearest and most incredibly inspiring ideas. Since reading this book, I've greatly increased my level of health (by becoming vegetarian), doubled my income, and formed my own consulting company.
"Unlimited Power" consists of three sections:
Section I: The Modeling of Human Excellence
Section II: The Ultimate Success Formula
Section III: Leadership: The Challenge of Excellence
Although the book is quite long, it is a very exciting read. Starting off with "The Commodity of Kings" Robbins talks about how specialized knowledge (information) is available to anyone and can literally transform ourselves, and the world. Think of what Bill Gates, through Microsoft, really owns - almost nothing. Instead, he controls a vast reservoir of knowledge.
In summary, what I enjoy most about "Unlimited Power" and all of Anthony Robbins' other works, is that he challenges you to test his ideas for yourself, instead of accepting ideas on blind faith. Also, I must emphasize that "Unlimited Power" (or any other book for that matter) WILL NOT magically make you successful. It requires YOU to work with the material, develop strategies, and most importantly - take action.

Robbins will change your life!, June 8, 2000
By A Customer
This book is priceless to me. I have read almost every self-help book I can find, yet I wasn't changing. I knew a lot about self esteem etc, but it's as if I was waiting for ONE FINAL PIECE, the missing part of how to succeed - in a big scale. And this book gave that to me. It's called Personal Power. If you're like me, having read a lot, know a lot as well, then you need that final piece. This book also gave me lots of effective STRATEGIES to control my mind, and it's scientific. From this book, I used the NLP 'swish technique' to get rid of my nail biting habit in just 2 minutes! That was just 2 months ago and I never bit it since( it actually feels unnatural to do it now). Learn how to increse your energy level and see your vitality 'explode'! There are many strategies in this book, many of them from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) a science that can change your life, habits, fears, attitude, beliefs etc so quickly (in minutes!) that you'll be surprised. How do you motivate yourself to do the things that are good for you (eg study for that exam earlier) and feel happy doing it, and how to de-motivate yourself (eg to eat that pizza). Once you learn the skills in this book, your mind will be at your command literally (instead of letting it run you). How do you create rapport with people and even strangers so easily that they fell like they know you for a lifetime? Another essential formula I learned from this book got rid of my fear of failure that used to stop me from taking action. Since then, my life, my confidence changed so much that I can hardly believe it.

A step above positive thinking, February 1, 2004
By A Customer
Some books teach just to be positive. Certainly having a positive attitude is better than being negative, but positive thinking is not enough.Anthony Robbins teaches positive thinking but goes beyond that to positive doing. That is what personal power is all about, it is the ability to ake action and get the results you want. Unlimited Power is an excellent book to show you how to bring out that power. Robbins advice works. Try it you'll ove it.
