I have the 1986 version and I regard this book as a classic: as a hard cover reference copy for my private library. This book is so well written, inspirational, motivational, and sets forth principles with many clear examples. I have marked up my paperback version with notes and highlights; each page is concentrated with so much information designed to educate and empower the reader. It includes the famous persistence story of Colonel Sanders, who started off with a chicken recipe and a big dream. I get the sense from Anthony Robbins' writing that this is a guy who transcends mere materialism to genuinely give and share what he sees and experiences- As Gary Zukav would say, a "multisensory" personality, rather than five-sensory, and as Abraham Maslow would say, a "self-actualized" personality. In light of this book, any criticisms would appear as self doubts; for it really is Up To Me And You: to keep an open mind and to decide on what it is we really want. For, in the end, everybody gets what they really want, as master-trader Ed Sekota would say. I found this book most effective when I took just a few pages a day, rather than trying to assimilate everything in one or two readings. I can effectively couple this book with the works of Dennis Waitley and Guy Finley, and it doesn't have to be about money or fame at all; it could also be about seeking "...treasures that don't fail." With knees shaking and staff raised as did Moses (or Charleston Heston), I can approach boldly to the throne of God and know that faith, even simpler than a mere mustard seed, is in the speaking, "...the substance of things hoped for and the conviction of things unseen." As the surprisingly insightful Starfleet Daily Meditational Manual states, "...when we risk the first step toward our dreams, the next step will become clear, then the next, and the next - as if a light begins to illumine our way." Anthony Robbins walks the talk, but it is up to me and you to take the first step and balance what he says with some of our own study and search, because there's always more than one way to do things. For example, a master web designer can share an approach, but it's always a good idea to get a second professional opinion. |

Tony Robbins is one of my favorite success and personal achievement mentors. He has a lot of wisdom when it comes to understanding how people think and act even before you finish reading Unlimited Power for the first time, you will be a changed person - it's that incredible. I say first time because you will want to read it again and again. Every time I pick it up I gain new insight. I believe that I will be learning from this book for years.
Tony Robbins covers all of the proactive bases: smart thinking, system thinking, futuristic thinking, and positive thinking. If you are truly seeking the kind of success and abundance that makes your life 100% livable - you must read this book. Many of his ideas are found in Success Bound, another book built on learning how to be responsible and live proactively.
Everything that I have put into practice that Tony Robbins has recommended has worked. The NLP philosophies in this book will bring you success. Read it and you will believe that you can do anything that you set your mind to. My copy is well worn with highlighter and pen marks all through it from the numerous times that I've returned to it in order to study it again.
One of the most helpful parts of his book is the section on beliefs. Tony Robbins has studied those that successful people have and he recommends that you incorporate them into your belief system too. They are: 1. Everything happens for a reason and a purpose, and it serves us. 2. There is no such thing as failure. There are only results. 3. Whatever happens, take responsibility. 4. It's not necessary to understand everything to be able to use everything. 5. People are your greatest resource. 6. Work is play. 7. There's no abiding success without commitment.
You will find that this exciting book becomes a part of you. Don't hold back - let it happen. In fact, you should spend 10 to 15 minutes every morning focusing your thoughts on the truths of this book, thereby allowing them to seep deep into your subconscious mind. If you do this I guarantee this wisdom will most assuredly bring you the success and abundance you deserve.
Enjoy the book and your new proactive life!

There is no doubt that Unlimited Power offers certain useful techniques that could potentially improve your thinking and outlook on life. For that reason alone I give it three stars. Nonetheless, for several reasons I ultimately don't recommend reading it. First, I object to Robbins' overly-simplified characterization of the personal improvement process. Although he states or implies that the simple use of certain NLP techniques essentially guarantees success, of course in real life it's not that easy. Second, much of the prose reminds me of text that you find in overly agressive multi-level marketing materials. It's kind of annoying and distasteful to me. Third, there are alternative, superior places where you can find out about the techniques (which may also be more up to date). You'll need to do a bit of research on NLP, so it will require more work than just reading Unlimited Power. But if you are not just looking for easy answers, in the end you will have to do the research anyway if you are really interested in these subjects. So you may as well do it now. If you do wish to do the research, perhaps you could get started by reading a book by Richard Bandler or David Grinder (there are lots of choices). |

For the person just reading the reviews to Robbins’s book just to click "No its not helpful", I suggest you get a life and start thinking of what you really want in life and taking actions to achieve it, instead of spending your time going against Robbins just because you don't understand what he is writing about (or you didn't apply it after reading it). Give up the narrow mindedness and start to open your mind and start taking action towards the life you want. Just because someone is happy, successful, rich, doesn't necessary mean he is doing it by unscrupulous ways. Robbins truly is out there making a difference in people's life. If he couldn't touch your life because you were closed off, then whose fault is it? Have you ever asked yourself, "If others can change their life for the better with his books, then why can't I? Or why didn't I even try to apply it as a test?"
As a philosopher once said, "If you choose to be poor because you think its spiritual, that’s fine. But if at the same time you despise or envy those who are rich, then that is called a hypocrite."
The more you envy and despise other people's success and wealth, the more you are sabotaging your own growth. And who in this world is not selling hope? Think about the religions, the makeup companies like Revlon, the schools, the architects, the teachers, the entrepreneurs - all these people and institutions are selling Feeling and Hope AndImprovement for those who want to improve their life in some way!
For the reviewer who said Tony is not original, let me ask you this- does it necessarily take an original splendid and complex idea to change your life? Do you want a new sophisticated idea just to make yourself feel so sophisticated and intelligent or do you want to change your life? Isn't changing your life with simple ideas that works more intelligent than trying to fill your brain with so many philosophies but doesn't change a thing?
Tony is not really known for his ability to come up with new ideas. Even the people whom he learned those ideas from were trying to emulate some other geniuses. In fact, one of his core ideas is to 'model' the best people in any selected field and master their beliefs and consistently apply it. He is more known for his commitment to be the best, his ability to apply ideas intelligently in different contexts etc.
This is a really exciting book to read. How could a young man with little education, no money, washing his dishes in his bathtub, low income , became a millionaire in 1 year? The answer and knowledge is all in this book. Written in 1986, it was a bestseller among entrepreneurs and business people. This book teaches you how successful people think. Tony was a total failure, until one day he went to a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) seminar by the genius Dr Richard Bandler and John Grinder.
NLP is a new field of science/psychology that can radically and quickly change human behavior and thinking in very short time. With techniques and beliefs modeled from America's genius hypnotherapies Dr. Milton Erickson, and family therapist Virginia Satir, Richard Bandler and John Grinder was able to cure phobias, anxieties, depression, etc within minutes (where traditional Freudian Therapy took up to 4 years without results).
IN a nutshell, NLP is to find out specifically how somebody who is good at something do that thing, (studying his beliefs, and subjectivity), and then model that to apply it to yourself or others to produce the same (or better) results. It is called the Modeling of Mastery.
Tony mastered NLP within a short time frame, and he used NLP to change his thinking, beliefs, behavior in a massive way that turned him into a success. Tony is one of the few people Richard Bandler (the NLP co-founder) gives a license to teach NLP, and if you know Richard, he trusts very few people!
The first time I came across NLP, I thought, "oh yeah, right, another of these quick way to happiness and success", without really understanding it. Then slowly I learned more about NLP, and I applied some of the NLP techniques on myself, and I was so shocked it Worked! I used the NLP method to cure my nail biting habit, instantly! Then I used it to cure my shyness. Then I used it to propel myself to success. Bandler and Grinder's mastery is in how the Brain and nervous system works. They are not theorists, (unlike most psychologists). They only do what works.
When Bandler and Grinder first came out with the NLP model in the late 70s, everyone said they were making false claims. Yet one by one Bandler proved to them that NLP really works, where traditional psychology doesn’t. His favorite saying is "If the old way of doing things doesn’t work (or is producing mediocre results), do something else... do something new!" I recommend people to read other books by Richard Bandler, especially Frogs Into Princes and Magic In Action (this book is from the famous seminar where Bandler proves the cynics wrong and cures phobics and patients (on stage, live!) within 30 minutes, (no preparation before hand) as an experiment' conducted by one of the Universities who wanted to disprove Bandler).

This is definitely one of the best books on personal achievement and the science of Neuro-Linguistic Programming in the market today. Anthony Robbins has probably been the most well known peak performance consultant and life success coach for the past two decades for good reason. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is the study of excellence and the systemic study of human communication and is widely recognized worldwide as the most effective technology for achieving almost anything you want and has helped millions around the world. This book is not only an excellent introduction to NLP but also gives extremely useful advice on Success, Health and Personal Power. This is definitely a book everyone should own. Anyone can be a skeptic but less than 20 dollars to change your entire life for the better forever is a fantastic deal. |

The bad reviews on this book absolutely boggle my mind. I read this book for the first time seven years ago and since then have become a millionaire, written and published two children's books that are now sold in major bookstores across the country, bought four homes as investment properties, and gotten into a very fulfilling relationship. I would have done NONE of this if it weren't for this book. Anthony Robbins is for real. I was skeptical before I read his books, but was blown away after reading the first chapter. Awaken the Giant Within and his 30 day Personal Power CD program are also brilliant. I owe him more than he will ever know. That's all I have to say. |

This is how Tony Robbins started with powerful NLP techniques. It is the advice in Unlimited Power that made Tony Robbins a household name; showing people how to overcome fear, release lifetime phobias in minutes, helping superstar athletes reach beyond their previous best performance, achieve goals in record breaking time and more.
Unlimited Power offers the best of what Tony Robbins learned from his mentor Jim Rohn and the best of NLP techniques. Tony puts it all together in an easy to read and exciting form. Once you start reading, you won't want to put the book down.
Anchors and swish patterns were a huge help to me. At the time when I first read Unlimited Power, Tony's goal setting session was the most powerful goal setting system I had ever used. For setting and achieving goals now I recommend Brian Tracy's excellent book Goals along with the information in Unlimited Power: limitation disengage and Tony's massive goal setting session in Awaken The Giant.
Tony Robbins is clearly helping a lot of people. He is like a modern day Napoleon Hill harnessing the winning strategies of the most powerful and successful people of the times as well as the rich and famous.
I can't recommend Unlimited Power enough. It can change your life. Read this along with Awaken the Giant. Also recommend Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and Goals by Brian Tracy.

This is without doubt the best book I have ever read. I recommend all my clients to read this. This man has worked with President Clinton, Princess Diana, Mother Theresa and on the other end his worked with cocaine addicted kids in the ghetto.
He has focused his whole life on how anyone, with any real commitment can improve their life now, and not someday. After reading this book it will be nearly impossible for you to not make a marked difference in all areas of your life. It covers emotional, physical, financial and spiritual areas. Einstein said "A mind once stretched can never return".
This book will teach you how to be an effective communicator, how to instantly change how you feel, how to change what you believe in and how to leave a legacy among other things. These are serious life issues and Anthony Robbins has used the latest in technology to develop simple patterns that anyone can use.
You can trust this man because his worked with everyone from the most famous to the most destitute. His philanthropy work has pledged millions to the homeless, elderly and those in prison.
It would cost you over a million dollars a year to get this man as your personal coach but you can get the best of what his learned in over 15 years research scouring the planet for the best information for under $20 from your local bookstore. A truly remarkable feat.

Unlimited Power by Anthony Robbins is about success... period. Whether it is success in your marriage, finances, professional career, relationships... everything is covered in this book.
The basis of part 1 is modeling. Author Anthony Robbins states that success leaves patterns. And if you copy those patterns, you too will achieve success. From this premise, Robbins goes on to teach exactly how to model successful behavior through several techniques. Some of the techniques include; the "Swish" pattern where you take a behavior you want to change and you create a link to a new, positive behavior, "Strategy Elicitation" which involves determining the exactly mindset of successful people, and modeling physiology to create the emotional state you need in order to be happy and successful.
Part 2 is about the Ultimate Success Formula, or what do you want? Without having a clear direction, it really doesn't matter how much effort you put in so part 2 includes section on goal setting, learning to develop rapport with people, and metaprograms or learning to address someone in the right key.
Part 3 focuses on leadership. Essentially this states that if what you want is not in line with your deepest values, then you will never live a completely fulfilled life.
In all, I found this book to be fantastic. Anthony Robbins does a fantastic job of getting to the point and breaking down barriers but in a way that is both sensitive and caring. The exercises take some work, but I am certain that they are worth it. This is definitely a book you are going to want to pick up and one that you are going to want to read several times. 5 out of 5 stars.

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. |
