Customer Reviews

Amazing book -- gives real results.
I'm now reading this book for the third time, it's that good. I want to give you three concrete examples of how this book has helped me. After I first read this book, I wrote down that I wanted to lose weight. Within 7 months of doing so I had lost nearly 11 Kg. Today I weigh 73 Kg, which is a good weight for my age, height and sex.

I then wrote down "Speaking a foreign language fluently" as a goal. Within seven months my ability in that language was good enough to cope with job interviews, and I got the first job abroad I was interviewed for.

My third example: when I read the book I was living in a tiny one-room flat, with a bathroom and kitchen too small to turn around in. I was sleeping on an old futon base on the floor. The flat was inundated with ever-multiplying dust, partly from the polluted road outside. Within 6 months of reading the book I had a larger, dust-free flat with two rooms, a bed, and a larger bathroom and kitchen.

Pay more attention!
Anthony Robbins has total self-belief. He is proud of where he has got to and of his achievements, but the reader hears just a little too much about these. He went from being an unhappy overweight underachiever to having a large company, a good relationship and all the success he could handle by transforming his life himself. Unlimited Power describes the process he designed to get himself where he is today, and shows the reader how to do the same. It is full of interesting ideas, with some exercises for the reader to try out. Does it work? I have no idea, but Mr Robbins would like you to try.

Anthony Robbins is American through and through, and so is this book. There's nothing wrong with that, but most of the people he mentions are American millionaires or politicians and I'm not sure how many people outside the US will have hard of them or know what they have achieved. Norman Cousins? Lee Iacocca? Who are these people?

The book’s poor production values constantly get in the way of the message. Spelling mistakes abound. These are sometimes entertaining, such as when someone is so angry he flies into a range, but are usually just annoying. If Anthony Robbins is so attached to his book and so passionate about it, why didn’t he get it proofread? My copy is printed on quite coarse, yellowish paper, so the pages just don’t look inspiring. There is also no index, which might have been useful.

An interesting read, but maybe one to get out of your local library before you actually buy it.

Robbins Transcends Platitudes about Attitudes
Do you want to take control of your life, abolish your limitations and achieve your most elusive goals? Anthony Robbins teaches you how to do just that. You’ll learn how your brain processes information and how to manipulate that process to your advantage. You’ll explore the science of "Neuro-Linguistic Programming" (NLP), the study of human neurology, so you can analyze and duplicate your successes. Robbins uses NLP extensively, although many experts debunk it. He explains that the best path to success is to find an accomplished person, discover his or her strategies for becoming successful, and duplicate that process. He also weighs in on how to keep your weight down, communicate and eliminate bad habits. By the way, he cautions against skimming this book to separate the self-help wheat from the chaff. Instead, he encourages you to read every page and perform every exercise. This is not easy because he explains each concept at least two or three ways. However, Robbins has a big following and is clearly onto something; We think you might want to find out just what. This book is a good place to start if you seek a personal achievement makeover.
