"Awaken the Giant Within - How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Emotional, Physical and Financial Destiny!" by Anthony Robbins is a classic self-help book. The information contained within remains relevant and the ideas and powerful advice Robbins offers are as fresh now as they were when this practical, revolutionary, and fast paced book was originally published. This abridged version, boiled down to the most important points and now available as an downloadable audiobook read by Robbins himself, weighs in at a mere 1.5 hours of listening time. The depth and breadth of the advice Robbins gives warrants a second, or even a third listen, though. The original book is 544 pages long, but rest assured that nothing is lost in the audiobook version. In fact, with the benefit of hearing Robbins tell his story and deliver his tried and true life enhancing advice in his own voice, you may prefer the audio version of Awaken the Giant Within over the print publication.
Robbins gives the listener all they expect and more in this entertaining, anecdote filled mini-seminar, without the hefty price tag of his live performances. Awaken the Giant Within will show you the basics of goal setting and introduce you to neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) in a manner that will encourage to you to try, and succeed, at life in ways you only hoped you could.
Robbins began his own journey to success in a dead end job as a janitor in Orange City, Florida. In twelve years, he had completely turned his life around and was arriving by private jet to speak to a sold out crowd in his home town. As an international best-selling author, Robbins has published five books. His professional development system; Personal Power has been sold worldwide. Anthony Robbins is also a widely recognized and respected philanthropist, and an innovator in the world of self-development.
Positive change requires hard work on the part of the listener, but with a road map as detailed, well thought out, and proven as the one Robbins offers in Awaken the Giant Within, wanting success and being willing to take the first step is all it takes to begin the journey.
"Tony Robbins narrating his own book should immediately let you know this book will provide you with inspiration, and tons of it! This book centers around positivity and speaks on the power that being positive holds. My only problem with this title is that certain chapters ask that you have a pen and paper for certain activities but being a person who listens to audiobooks driving on the way to work made this difficult, and going back to that specific moment in the book on this app is a hassle. Besides that, a fantastic read! "
