The book is basically a breakdown of Robbins' system for taking control of your life and making your dreams come true. It gives you tons of tools for managing every aspect of your life, such as "transformation vocabulary", "global metaphors", the "Neuro-Assosociative-Conditioning model" (a mouthful) and many more.
I think an even better way of describing this book is this: it's the exact opposite of "The Power of Now", which I reviewed in an earlier post. This book is longer, more complex, and advocates a system polar to "The Power of Now". Instead of eliminating pain, as "The Power of Now" suggests, Robbins tells you to use your pain as a motivator to change your life.
I'd highly recommend the book to anyone who eats up self-improvement texts, no matter the size, shape, or form. For anyone not in love with the genre, if I were you, I don't even know if I could get motivated enough to get to the part of the book where Robbins teaches you how to get properly motivated.
You didn't exactly do the hard sell on this one! Of all the self-help type books you've described, this one appeals to me the least. Was that also your take, or did I get the message a little wrong?
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of like photoshop. It has tons of great tools and information, but learning to use it can be a lot of grunt work. I enjoy that kind of thing, but most others do not, which was why I tried to make it clear in the review.
