The best Tony Robbins book ever

Thanks Toby,

I appreciate you posting this free offer. I read this book back in the early 90s and it changed my life.

My copy of it is filled with highlighting, notes I've written in margins, post it notes with more notes, and I even got some of those sticky tabs to bookmark important sections.

Unfortunately, a lot of books in the self help field contain lots of fluff. A good one is 50/50 meat to fluff, but This book by Tony is 100% meat.

Good job letting the forum know about how to get their hands on a free copy.

Hi Toby, such a good and useful thread post. Yippee. My wife is a life coach in southern Oregon and also facilitates the work of Byron Katie.

I have forwarded your link to her because I know she gets so much new material from Tony Robbins. She will be delighted and I will offer you her thanks in advance. And I want to Thank you for being a true helpful Warrior. We will utilize your original knowledge of this work and your extra effort to bring it back into this domain. How good is that?

Sincerely,

LLS

Pretty awesome, How good is that!

And Byron Katie's work with the four questions is another excellent starting point. Your wife may also be interested in the work I do as well.


Byron Katie - (my analysis)
my reverse questions I wrote (in my notebook?)
Specialized or oversimplified “methods” to solving “all” problems
Popular due to simplicity ((the truth (or the gospel) MUST by pure and simple))
Works because of intention
Easy answers (see examples of popular lists of steps on Oprah’s web page)
Forcing it to work under any and all conditions (the holocaust)
sticking to your philosophy to make the rest of the world fit into it.

It can often be a good starting point for people though.
She started talking about the same things as the great minds in spirituality after her event
She found the present moment, with her two fighting sons

Ability to focus on putting more positive emotion into being healthy
Focus on the positive through some emotional work from negative feelings
If you’re not specifically doing this consciously then you might miss it
Or the trap of forcing positive emotions on top of the negative ones, overwriting

Since it’s overly simplistic and so specialized she did what I have often seen people do and that is force it to work under all circumstances. Instead of realizing it shouldn’t be used in certain places she forced it to fit and the result was a nightmare. She used the four questions to erase the holocaust. And what if the four questions were used on religion, faith, or wholesome desires? So that’s why I wrote the reverse of the questions to be used when you want to keep something. And it’s also important to know when to use each one because one affirms something and the other erases it. Then, you also often get things that you have to differentiate between. Or in other words you have to sort out from one thing parts that you want to keep and parts that are considered negative. This is a whole new level of defining yourself. This level isn’t even considered as part of the work. It is the ability to keep developing that is ALSO part of the work.

What is real?
How do you know anything is real?
Analyzing to death
Can lead to existentialism – transcending everything including happiness


I studied many other methodologies and personal development experts as well. All the top people plus many others. Nobody could explain an exact system to produce change with a high success rate, let alone what to do when their method doesn’t work. So I had to figure it out myself. Let me know if you want to know about any other methodologies out there.

Thanks Toby. I too read Awaken The Giant book in the 90s (more than once). It had a big impact on how I looked at the world and how to respond.
This looks a great shorter version of the book. I'm going to enjoy reading through it.

Thanks for the share! Tony Robbins changed my life. I have been to 4 of his events, I recommend everyone gets to his events if possible.

So glad it's an ebook - now I can transfer it to my kindle.

Thanks for sharing! Not read this one but will be doing so soon!

Hi
Thanks for reminding me about Tony Robbins - I have dug out is book from the shelf and am reminding myself just how wonderful I am!
Best of luck with your reading

I found it very refreshingly concise. Often times "philosophers" talk way too much. Just get the point - glad he did.

Thanks for the great share. I'm using December to prep and plan for 2014, and I'm in the process of creating my book list for next year. This will definitely be on it. Thanks again.

Thank's for the share.

Don't forget to also check out YouTube for Tony's gems. There are A LOT of great videos out there!
