Awaken The Giant Within – book review
More than anything else, I believe it’s our decisions, not the conditions of our lives, that determine our destiny.
“Awaken The Giant Within” – How to take control of your mental, emotional, physical and financial destiny by Anthony Robbins.
Free Press; Soft Cover edition (November 1, 1992) – 544 pages – ISBN: 978-0671791544
The international best-seller is divided in four parts.
In part I, author Anthony Robbins, is setting the stage for the reader to ‘unleash your power’, when he explains the impact of our decisions, the forces that shape our life, our belief systems, the science of Neuro-Associative Conditioning, the vocabulary of success, ten emotions of power and how we can create a compelling future. He finishes part one with a ten-day mental challenge, where the reader is challenged to focus on solutions for 10 consecutive days.
Part II concentrates on ‘taking control – the master system’, with topics like ultimate influence, life values, rules, references and identity, where Robbins explains the six master steps to change, five areas of intervention, how to discover, order and rearrange values and how to make them strong and powerful, the challenge of changing rules and how to communicate them as well as how to use references to put your life in perspective and how we define and defend our identities.
Part III then is an instruction for ‘the seven days to shape your life’, where the reader is guided to create his emotional, physical, relationship and financial destiny, his own code of conduct and how to master time and life.
In part IV we read a short but powerful ‘lesson in destiny’ and how heroes are made.
What I like most: Once you have ‘worked’ your way through the book, you can not feel but empowered. With all his detailed explanations, descriptions, examples, stories and exercises, Tony Robbins leaves you with the message, that the results you get in life are your responsibility and that each of us has the ability to design our own destiny.
Conclusion: a must for coaches, a great start for every one who likes guidance and is disciplined enough to actually make the exercises.
Valuation: 41/2 of 5 stars
