Would you like to live a more pleasant life? Wouldn't it be great to solve your problems using effective questioning? Are you feeling unclear of what your true destiny is? Do you desire to quit a bad habit? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I recommend that you pick up this book and implement every exercise and techniques that he teaches within the book.
I picked up the book, "Awaken the Giant Within" because I came across Tony Robbin's audio on youtube that had a similar theme. The hour long audio made me feel empowered enough that I wanted to know more about the author. I recommend this book if you would like to discover your true life's purpose and the steps to achieving your goals efficiently and effectively while taking complete control of your life.
Tony Robbin's has a reputation as a successful businessman and he teaches people how to master their emotions. He is our nation's leader in peak performance and an expert in the psychology of change. In his early life, his mother was an alcoholic who has had several husbands, while his father was absent in his life. He's like many of us, but decided without any formal education in psychology to begin his own work as a self-help coach.
Within this book he emphasizes how beliefs, values, and your rules affect your behaviors. He links pain and pleasure as the reason why people make decisions. For example, if an individual is overweight and desires weight loss, but links a lot more pleasure to eating unhealthy foods and pain when it comes to exercising, then they aren't making a change to their behavior. Tony Robbins gives step by step tips on how to associate pain to your bad habits so that you can ultimately stop those decisions or bad habits and make better life choices.
Tony also explains the importance of asking your self quality questions. He regularly uses "Seek and you shall find" and describes how your mind will find whatever you tell it to seek. If you ask lousy questions, you will get lousy answers.
He then explains how our every day vocabulary and metaphors can affect the way we are feeling. For example, using the metaphor, "I hit a brick wall" means "I'm feeling stuck" and Tony teaches how to break those metaphorical patterns by responding to this by saying, "Then climb over the wall" or "Then go around it." He describes how we can use our everyday language to benefit our daily lives.
Tony later mentions within the book that our identity is what we make ourselves to be. For example, an individual can identify them-self as an alcoholic and this will cause them to desire alcohol. In order to stop drinking, the person must start seeing themselves as a non-alcoholic to begin creating lasting changes. The person would have to create a new experience and reference points to provide them with this newer, beneficial belief. Even small successes that occur will give an individual the belief that they WILL succeed.
He then mentions the, "CANI" attitude meaning "Constant and Never Ending improvement." By going beyond what we set our limits are is enough know that we CAN be successful. The attitude is, "If I CAN do this activity, what other activities, CAN I do?" This attitude is about how accomplishments can cause you to do activities that you may have felt wasn't of your ability. As your confidence increases with your accomplishments, you will begin to believe that you CAN do more.
The difference about this book and many other self-help books is that it gives several examples and also gives a more interactive experience with the exercises he has within this book. This book has benefited me because I feel more in control of my emotions. I used to stress out a lot but found that it was so much better for me to put my energy in a more beneficial place. Because of the knowledge I have obtained from this book, I have found myself noticing patterns of people's behaviors and how it benefits them and also how it ruins them. I found that Tony's techniques have been useful is creating a more pleasant lifestyle that is healthier for my body and the people around me.
I can confirm that because of this book, the people I have surrounded myself with have changed as I became better. I am now surrounded by more successful individuals, and people who have similar interests in being in control of their life. This book will give you a fresh perspective on your life and the factors that contribute to why you are where you are. I wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for the assistance of this book.

Reviewed in India on January 24, 2016
MAIN IDEA OF THE BOOK:
------------------------------------------
the author shares his philosophy about pain and pleasure and says our likes and dislikes,behavior patterns and habits are evolved from this .
"" if we link massive pain and pleasure to anything , we can use this understanding to harness the force of pain and pleasure to change virtually anything in our life""
this book is the powerhouse of motivation. the author discusses various topics of self improvement in details with a lot of real references
like :
the power DECISION MAKING.
the concept of NAC ( neuro - associative conditioning).
the concept of CANI ! (constant and never ending improvement)
the importance and impact of WORDS ,vocabulary in developing once character.
EMOTIONS and and there impact and how to use them in self empowerment. ETC are some of the concept covered in this giant book .
every section of this book contains various activities and sequential steps about how one can make a change in oneself which i found very good and thought provoking and one can found himself involved in this book.
at the end of each chapter the author summarize's it very brilliantly.
this book contains so much wisdom that i have underlined most of my book.
initially you might find this book a bit boring (my friends did) because the author talks about what this book contains and can do for over and over again.
one thing i noticed about this book was its font size.they are quite small as compared to the other books that i have read.the book content is little compressed.for a better reference i'm some pics.
WHO SHOULD BUY THIS BOOK ?:
------------------------------------------------
i believe this book contains so much value that every one must have a copy of this books in their collection.
if you are looking for an all-rounder motivation book, or are interested in mind and human behavior .
or if you want to change a habit or your life all together and are looking for a way then this book can be a great help.
this book is very vast in terms of content that it is very hard to review this book in a little paragraph.
i hope that this review was helpful to you. if yes give it a thumbs up (y) and have a great day.
