Product Description

A common-sense approach to achieving success in one's life offers workable, step-by-step methods and positive visualization techniques to help readers personalize goals, trust creativity, transcend old beliefs and limitations, and transform positive thinking into positive action.

Original published in 1988 Berkley Publishing under the title of "The Advanced Formula For Total Success". For 13 years it continued to sell under that title. In 2002 Berkley Publishing discontinued publishing "The Advanced Formula For Total Success". As soon as it went out of print, it became a collector's item with copies selling for up to $100 per copy on the Amazon.com used books marketplace. In 2003 Dr. Anthony decided to update the book and republish it under the original name of Beyond Positive Thinking with an introduction by Joe Vitale.



About the Author

Dr. Robert Anthony is an undercover secret for some of the most successful people on the planet. For the past 30 years he has spent his life unraveling the mysteries of the mind. During that time he has earned a Ph.D. in behavioral psychology and has worked as a psychotherapist, NLP practitioner, master hypnotist and personal performance trainer.

He has spoken at over 5,000 prestigious seminars all over the world, and been featured as the keynote speaker to clients who paid hundreds or thousands of dollars to attend.

He has authored over 15 books, which have been published in 22 countries. His flagship book, The Ultimate Secrets of Total Self-Confidence has sold over a million copies.

Unlike most other "mind performance" and "self-improvement" experts, he hasn't thrived on publicity to make a name for himself. What makes Dr. Anthony different is his ability to take complicated ideas and teach them in a simple but powerful way that gets immediate RESULTS.

He doesn't teach motivation seminars and "positive thinking". It's much deeper than that. He goes Beyond Positive Thinking. He aligns your personal power in accordance with the natural laws of the Universe - and reverses the polarity of your life! So rather than eliminating the things you don?t want, you become naturally attracted towards the things you do want!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Thing, November 2, 2006
By Sally Atman (Redondo Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Beyond Positive Thinking: A No-Nonsense Formula for Getting the Results You Want (Hardcover)
If you read a lot of self improvement books and find the same information presented again and again, try Robert Anthony's material. All the newer "gurus" like Tony Robbins and Joe Vitale blatantly took Robert Anthony's material and re-wrote it. Badly.

There may be typos in this particular book, but it's straightforward, easy to read, and is well-written (unlike most of the more modern hype).

My daughter is a thirty-eight year old going for her PhD in Psych. She reads everything she can get her hands on regarding self help, self improvement, etc., and she's been complaining that everything is beginning to sound alike. I gave her a copy of Beyond Positive Thinking, and she loved it.

Buy this book. Enough said.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone can benefit from this book, June 27, 2005
I truly believe that every person can learn a great deal about themselves by reading and implementing the recommendations in this book. I would reiterate what many of the other reviewers mentioned here. Take more control of your life and put it on a better track to not only achieve your goals but interact with the world.

That said I would like to say to the author that this is absolutely the worst edited book I have ever read. There are so many examples of a "the" that should be "he" or and "of" that is in a sentence that shouldn't be there, or similar grammatical mistakes. Interestingly these are not errors that would be picked up by a spell checker in a word processor.

Despite that, the book can truly change our life. It is all up to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deep but Simple and Real, September 25, 2005
By John Hurt (Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
*Post review EDIT* The Title 'Beyond positive thinking' is explained in the book to mean something along these lines: The idea of thinking positive is flawed in a very fundamental way. Many times when we are confronted with a situation in our lives that cause us pain, we are encouraged to think positive about some aspect of that situation so that we can find some peace about it. But finding the positive in a painful situation doesnt help us to solve the underlying problem that caused us the pain, it just gives us a coping mechanism. The concept of going 'Beyond Positive Thinking' teaches you to see the situation for what is really happening and then discovering the root of what is causing the pain so that we can then focus on the solution to that problem that is causing the pain. The way that this book teaches you how to do that is described below in my origional post *End EDIT*

I have been reading and skimming success books for some time now, I am fairly young, but the subject of perceiving reality as it truly is really interests me. One of my goals is to become a master of my thoughts and emotions. This book is really helpful if you are interested in finding the truth in any situation in your life.

Many times in people relationships there are many different perspectives... what this book teaches is how to get to the truth of the situation by seeing around the perspectives we place on situations in our lives. The focus on the book is to get you to understand that we all have our own way of interpreting reality, but our interpretations are filtered through our accumulated experiences and therefore are not processed by the mind as they really are, but as we perceive them to be. If we can become aware of our environment in a present moment awareness and a willingness to not judge positive or negative of any situation, then we are more apt to see things as they truly are and we will then understand the truth of the moment and then have the ability to respond accordingly to it. Basically it replaces the idea of thinking positive or negative with the concept of 'Right thinking' and 'Wrong thinking.

Also this book teaches you not to judge yourself or anyone else for that matter. It teaches you to replace your judgements of yourself with 'observation of yourself'. In other words, if we will just watch how we act in certain situations, we can learn so much about the way we think. If you feel yourself getting anxious in a certain situation, dont panic about it, Calmly watch the situation unfold and do not judge yourself over it. Allow yourself to be anxious and see yourself as you go through it. Then learn from it! That is what it is all about....

Like I said, the book is Deep, but it is written in a very Simple format and the ideas here will strike you with stunning clarity. There is no hype in this book; just plain speech.

If you are looking for a book that teaches the fundamentals of the human mind and how to overcome fear and all other human folly, then I would sincerely recommend you buy this book then read it twice!
