Have you dreamed of a better life? Are you finding yourself not receiving the results that you want? Well, if you answered yes to these questions, then this book may be for you. You can get the life that you desire and deserve by reading this book. This book not only gives knowledge, but it also provides exercises and examples of situations where these activities worked.
I've already began using many of the tools in this book in my life. I have assisted my friend with overcoming stage fright by using my skills in "anchoring," as well as I have learned how to build rapport easily by "mirroring" and "matching" the people I speak with. Because of Tony, I have been able to achieve high scores in my metrics at my job. I honestly wouldn't have been able to do it without the tools I have learned from this book. I didn't know I was overachieving at work until my supervisor sat down with me and informed me. I am proud of how far I have came because of reading.
Tony Robbins is a master of personal achievement and has worked with people through his books, seminars, and his audio recordings.
This book is a guidebook for you to become conscious for the habits you've been doing your whole life. This book allows you to obtain awareness of your patterns and behaviors and how to change them quickly so you can obtain instant results.
The book begins with the importance of recognizing your state of mind and how it influences your actions. Although you behave differently in different moods, Tony emphasizes that you are the same person and any state of mind that doesn't enable you to act your best is paralyzing. A popular example that Tony Robbins uses in his seminars would be his fire walk. Several people paralyze in fear before walking on fire, however, he proves that with a "resourceful" state of mind, anyone can do it. Being in a resourceful state affects the body physiologically causing an individual to perform better.
Tony then describes "beliefs" and how it could limit us or allow us to achieve more. He describes, "Beliefs are like commanders of the brain. When we congruently believe something is true, it is liking delivering a command to our brain as to how to represent what is occurring." (p. 54) Belief is a powerful tool that allows us to take action that can cause us to create desired outcomes. Our beliefs come from our environment, events, knowledge, past results, and from creating in our own mind what we desire in our future. Whatever we believe is our reality. He helps determine what beliefs are limiting and what beliefs are empowering.
Tony then provides information on how to master the mind by utilizing Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). This is done by combining visual, auditory, kinesthetic activities. He gives examples on how to recognize these three categories within conversations.
In part 2 of Tony Robbin's book, he gives instructions on how to formulate your outcomes. The steps are found below:
1. State your outcome in positive terms.
2. Be as specific as possible.
3. Have an evidence procedure.
4. Be in Control.
5. Verify that your outcome is ecologically sound and desirable.
He proceeds with asking a question that he commonly asks in his seminars, "If you knew you wouldn't fail, what would you do?" He then gives instructions on creating a list of your desires and provides exercises when it comes to reaching those outcomes and the duration of time it will take to reach those goals.
One of Tony's favorite topics is building rapport. In his next chapter, he explains how essential it is to learn how to build rapport. We typically like people that are like us. When utilizing the skills learned from NLP, building rapport can be done by, "mirroring," or "matching" a person. He explains how mirroring someone can cause you to adopt that individual's feelings.
When disagreeing with an individual, Tony provides three phrases where we can contain rapport and avoid conflict.
These phrases are:
"I appreciate and..."
"I respect and.."
"I agree and..."
The above phrases build rapport by acknowledging their thoughts without denegration or ignorance with words such as, "but" or "however."
Another crucial tool explained in the book is the power of "reframing." He explains this as an action, like a "footstep" that can give us different experiences based on the context of the action that occurred. Our framing is dependent on our past experiences. Changing our frame of reference by looking at a situation from a different point of view can result in changing the way we respond in our life. Reframing is essential because we can respond to situations appropriately.
The next tool that Tony mentions is, "Anchoring." Anchoring can be positive or negative and it occurs when a person is in an intense state where the body and mind are corresponding together from a stimulus that provides a peak of state.
The Keys to Anchoring (further explained in Tony's book)
-Intensity of the State
-Timing (Peak of Experience)
-Uniqueness of Stimulus
-Replication of Stimulus
In the final section of Tony's book, he talks about values and how it can cause failure. He then helps readers determine what their values are. Discovering values is important of one's self, and also important when working with another person. He concludes the book with challenging his readers to model excellence and produce life exactly as how it is desired and reviews the tools described throughout the book.
