I have read this book over a thousand times and it has empowered me to write my first book called Digital Mindset. His mental techniques have changed me in so many ways and moved me into a brighter future ahead of me. I found all his shortchanging stories that he implemented into this great short book which will open your mind, spirits and give you hope. This book is a must-read for those who need directions because believe me it helped me change my whole life. Now I am more motivated, inspired and happy because this man has the power of real change inside all of us.

This is a republished, slightly updated version of a book Tony Robbins wrote in the beginning of his career. A lot of the themes are very familiar to anyone who has read some of his other works or has listened to his talks. Still a good reminder about the importance of goal setting, motivation, helping others and having a positive, problem-solving attitude in life. There is an annoying advertorial-type final chapter that advertises all the different ways in which you can become a client/stakeholder of Tony Robbins' many ventures that felt totally out of place. Hence my 3/5 rating.

Change and control

This was a quick read and good life advice to perform and give yourself some time to reflect and learn and help others to understand that life isn’t hard unless you focus on the wrong things, or give up on your goals. I’m grateful for running across this book:it helps with my mental health and journey forward

A nice read for when you’re feeling stuck.

I was feeling stuck and not quite sure where to go or what to do. This book was perfect for giving me the little jolt that I needed. I don’t have to go anywhere. I don’t have to sign up for any course. I don’t have to spend any money none of that.

I can be grateful for who, what and where I am and then help someone else.

Το βιβλίο είναι γεμάτο από χρήσιμες συμβουλές και στρατηγικές για προσωπική ανάπτυξη. Ο Robbins, γνωστός για τη δουλειά του στον τομέα της αυτοβοήθειας και της ενδυνάμωσης, μοιράζεται τις εμπειρίες και τα διδάγματά του για το πώς μπορεί κανείς να ξεπεράσει τις δυσκολίες και να πετύχει τους στόχους του. Το βιβλίο επικεντρώνεται στην ιδέα ότι η αλλαγή της νοοτροπίας και η συνειδητοποίηση της δύναμης που έχουμε μέσα μας είναι το κλειδί για την επιτυχία.

Ο συγγραφέας προτείνει πρακτικές μεθόδους και στρατηγικές για να βελτιώσουμε τη ζωή μας, να ξεπεράσουμε τις ανασφάλειες μας και να αξιοποιήσουμε τις ευκαιρίες που μας δίνονται. Από τη διαχείριση του χρόνου μέχρι την καλλιέργεια θετικών συνηθειών, το βιβλίο παρέχει εργαλεία που μπορεί ο καθένας να εφαρμόσει στην καθημερινότητά του για να βελτιώσει την προσωπική και επαγγελματική του ζωή.

Αυτό το βιβλίο είναι ιδανικό για εκείνους που αναζητούν έμπνευση και πρακτική καθοδήγηση για να πάρουν τον έλεγχο της ζωής τους και να δημιουργήσουν την πραγματικότητα που επιθυμούν. Με τη γλώσσα του απλή και άμεση, ο Robbins καθοδηγεί τον αναγνώστη σε ένα ταξίδι αυτογνωσίας και προσωπικής εξέλιξης, βοηθώντας τον να αναγνωρίσει το πλήρες δυναμικό του.

Praf in ochi cu sfaturile astea. Sunt mai degraba mici algocalmine pt dureri de cap decat solutii pe termen lung. Simpliste si foarte generale. Mai bine ai folosi banii pentru o sedinta de psihoterapie decat sa cumperi cartea.
