 Inspirational and insightful book April 5, 2007

This is an inspirational and insightful book that is well written and contains some profound methods to improve your thinking and improve your life. The ideas and methods that Robbins suggests are not just theory but I can attest from personal experience that they really work as I have successfully used some of the concepts.
Anthony Robbins summarizes the best personal development strategies and combines it with neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) to create quick change. He also presents a tool called Neuro Associative Conditioning (NAC). This technique assists you to condition yourself for success. Robbins applies them in a very practical and useful manner.
"Awaken The Giant" is a fantastic book with powerful strategies for those who are perceptive enough to use them. This book will improve your entire life from reaching goals to rapport with others. You can change your limiting beliefs and achieve goals that you thought were out of reach. You can greatly improve your interpersonal relationships. You can be better than your best. You can learn to quit bad habits like smoking or alcoholism or solve your overweight problem. You can overcome fears and phobias.
The material is presented in reader friendly way. The material is well organised and flows smoothly throughout and is easy to read and follow.
Don't be intimidated by the length of the book as it is very interesting and exciting to read. Robbins gives some very insightful anecdotes that illustrate the practical application of his principles and methods that really work. He methodically, step-by-step, explains how to go about articulating what it is you want, the forces that shape our destiny, and how to harness the power within to create our own destiny.
This is recommended reading for those who want to change for the better and are prepared to back up their desire with action.

"I really respect you as the kind of person who really wants to change the quality of your life and you're committed to doing something about it." ~Anthony Robbins
Anthony Robbins' teachings present a new world for those ready to discover their destiny. I remember finding one of his books when I was just out of college and even at that point, I was not ready for his message and didn't complete the reading of what I then considered to be a very complex read. I was in emotional turmoil, having just ended a serious five-year relationship. I had no idea how to overcome such pain and confusion. I felt completely powerless.
Anthony Robbins is a powerful influence if you even take five main points and start to apply them to your life. I had to walk my way out of hell, but I know now that it was the daily decisions and empowering actions that took me from complete heartache to wanting to live again.
Anthony Robbins sees himself as an integral part of other people's success and this attitude challenges me on the highest level. He can take you from wherever you are now to wherever you would rather be. He teaches you how to work with pain and pleasure so you can reward yourself for success in any area of your life. This CD also introduces you to Neuro Associative Conditioning (NAC). You learn to break negative patterns and to choose a new pattern of behavior. This can help you in weight loss, getting on with your life after serious heartache (emotional trauma), overcoming procrastination, overcoming depression, ending bad habits and escaping from addictions. You could stop smoking, get out of a bad relationship, change jobs and produce any result you want in your life.
This is truly a great introduction to awaken you to change. If you are experiencing more pain when you think of taking action, Anthony Robbins can help you think through emotional roadblocks so you can take pleasure in your success. You will learn how to change disempowering associations and associate pleasure with new action.
Anthony's message can help you take immediate control of your life. If you listen to this message and take it very seriously, watch out...your life is going to be different. Be patient with yourself and start to focus on what you truly want and magically your life will start to change. There are some great examples of perpetual persistence that blew me away. Even one example of success could teach you an eternal principle. So many successful people have crawled their way out of complete disaster and they just kept going and never gave up.
Destroy walls holding you back
Awaken the power to change your life
Understand how your mind, body and emotions work
Start living your dream
If you need a quick refresher course, this CD is perfect and the message will help you get back on track. Many of my friends have told me that Anthony Robbins was influential in helping them realize their dreams. He truly knows how to awaken the giant.

One of the most powerful books I've ever read. April 8, 2005

Awaken The Giant Within is 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 to learn more about taking charge of my destiny. To this day, I refer to this book often for inspiration and guidance.
Over the years, I've read and listened to lots 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.
Awaken The Giant Within consists of four sections:
Part One: Unleash your power
Part Two: Taking Control - The Master System
Part Three: The Seven Days to Shape Your Life
Part Four: A Lesson in Destiny
Although the book is quite long, it is a very exciting read. Starting off with "Dreams of Destiny" Robbins tells a story of how his life changed as a result of the principles he learned. He states "We all have dreams ... We all want to believe deep down in our souls that we have a special gift, that we can make a difference ..." Moving on, he explains, step-by-step, how to go about articulating what it is you want, the forces that shape our destiny, and how to harness the power within to create our own destiny.
In summary, what I enjoy most about Awaken The Giant Within, 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 clarify that Awaken The Giant Within (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.

First Class Self-Help & NLP For Everyone December 27, 2006

Tony Robbins' second book, 'Awaken the Giant Within', is one of the best self-help titles available today. It is an excellent companion to his first book, 'Unlimited Power', and while I agree with other reviewers that 'Giant' is not as brief, still, it is not to be missed for it's excellent content. I also recommend any of his CD programs or personal seminars.
One of Robbins' greatest gift is his ability to simplify the sometimes overly complex terminology and methodology of NLP into a series of straightforward processes easily understood by anyone. As a result, he has managed to make a very powerful technology for personal growth and change accessible to the masses without watering it down.
Richard Bandler, one of the co-founder's of NLP, dedicates his book 'Time For A Change' to Robbins and refers to him as 'one of the few geniuses of our time'. Robbins received training directly from Bandler, and he is to be commended for being one of a handful of individuals who have paid considerable licensing fees for use of Bandler's material.
I am a certified NLP master practitioner and clinical hypnotherapist and the content of 'Giant' is exceptional. In fact, it was this book that inspired me to explore NLP in the first place.
If you're looking for solid success coaching 'in print' and a powerful set of practical tools and techniques for improving your life in virtually any area, personal or professional, this is a great place to start.
As a professional life and career coach, I use many of the tools and techniques described in this book on a daily basis with my clients with fantastic results. Simply check the testimonials page on my Peak Performance Group website and see for yourself.
But don't believe me, buy the book, and learn and practice the material until you experience the results for yourself!

I was a trainer for Robbins Research from 1989 to 1995 while this book was created. Even today there isn't much new written about such concepts as transformational vocabulary, global metaphors, and empowering questions. While the stories are somewhat outdated, I think this book stands up well even today. I look forward to any new works by Mr. Robbins. It's very surprising to me that this work and Unlimited Power are his only real original books written to date (the others are take-offs). Any new reader should own both and perhaps an audio program as well.
