About the author
Anthony Robbins
393 books4,893 followersFor more than 30 years Tony Robbins' passion has been helping people BREAK THROUGH and take their lives to another level -- no matter how successful they already are -- in the areas that matter most: their business, personal finance, intimate relationships, families, careers and health.
Tony Robbins has helped more than 50 million people from more than 100 countries transform their lives and their businesses through his books, audio programs, health products, live events and personal coaching. He's been fortunate enough to work with everyone from presidents of countries to some of the true legends of entertainment, sports and the business world. But his work is not limited to Fortune 500 CEOs and athletes. He has a special passion for small-business owners, parents and students.
Being the Chairman of seven privately held companies and five holding companies in diverse industries keeps him busy. Many of his companies have become brands that are leaders in their category - from the award winning Namale Resort & Spa in the Fiji Islands, to Twinlab and Metabolife in the sports nutrition field, to the Anthony Robbins brand in personal and professional improvement.
Most of Tony's core strategies for creating breakthroughs have come from his work with some of the biggest names in the business world: He's had the privilege of modeling and distilling the strategies of leaders in some of the fastest-growing companies in the world. He's used these distinctions to help optimize and grow enterprises to new and more profitable levels.
One of the things Tony is most proud of is his humanitarian work through the non-profit Anthony Robbins Foundation. He's always believed that if we're blessed enough to have insight and economic opportunities, then we're also blessed enough to be able to give back. To those who much has been given, much is expected. Tony Robbins is extremely blessed to be able to feed more than two million people in 56 countries every year through his International Basket Brigade.

I am reviewing "Unlimited Power: A Black Choice" by Anthony Robbins & Joseph McClendon III at the same time that I submitted my review for Unlimited Power by Anthony Robbins.
I will start this review by stating that I am a 49-year-old African-American male. I will also preface this review by outlining that I am highly successful and believe that excellence will always transcend.
At the same time, I will acknowledge that my path has been filled with trials that are unique to African-Americans. I was raised by a mother and father that told me never to view my race as a disadvantage, but that it would make me unique…A trailblazer. I was fortunate that my college-educated father forced me to read books on the mind, on faith, and on success. When I became a teenager, I sought these books out of my own doing. I know they are the foundation and a powerful reason for why I am where I am today.
I also understand that not everyone (no matter the race!) gets the advantages I had as a Black child growing up in the 60s to a proud but struggling lower middle-class family. I am even more aware of how fortunate I am to have been part of a family that taught me how to fight - through excellence.
All of that said, I understand the historical need to "segregate" the success message. As a sales trainer, and author, I teach a lesson called The Message and The Messenger - it is not a lesson on race but a lesson on building rapport and chemistry (regardless of the clients background) - the foundation of sales.
I applaud Anthony Robbins for trying to address the specific needs of an audience with a specific messenger.
Few people know that Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich) had also begun a transcript of a message to Black America back in the 70s. That mantle was then picked up by Dennis Kimbro with the book "Think and Grow Rich: A Black Choice".
Both works are essentially a redo of the original works with a specific audience in mind, and I believe well intended.
Even now with a two-term Black president (more specifically bi-racial) we still see great disparity, but it is no longer simply defined by race but other components of socio-economics.
As an author of success books, books on sales and other works on achievement, I see myself today as just that - an author. I want those works to affect and impact the world, regardless of race color creed or national origin. Pollyanna perhaps, but I can only control my intent.
Soapbox aside, this book is powerful not because of who it was written for but because of who wrote it. I believe that the creator gave us all what we need, and in spite of what others may think, or do, we can express that gift if we engage the principles outlined in both of these works.
Not to be controversial, I would recommend this book to anyone...

I started reading this book versus the original because this version was tailored to the African American. I really loved the inspirational quotes, learning was very clear and concise, and filled with hope. I would recommend this to people who are determined to change their lifestyle and improve the quality of who they are, and strive to do anything to make themselves better.
