Summary: Tony is very motivating & inspiring.
Comment: My intro to Tony Robbins was through his first book, "Unlimited Power" and the audio tape of the same title. At the time I was like a miniture version of Tony, newly divorced, broke and alone. Unlimited Power got me started and gave incredible results in a short time. Since then I have been a avid Tony Robbins student and also subscribe to the popular "PowerTalk" series. My financial life was also a disaster and through one of Tony's "Powertalk" tapes, I was introduced to Charles Givens. As per Tony's advice on the tape I went out and bought Givens book WEALTHWITHOUT RISK (Now More Wealth Without Risk) Givens book did as much for my financial life as Tony's book's and tapes have done for me on a personal development level. Thank you Tony for some great material and truly incredible results.

Summary: Powerful and practical...
Comment: Master motivator, Anthony Robbins brings back to life what lies dormant in most human beings -- the power of self. Not at all a "get rich quick" scheme, Robbin's work instructs the reader on how to effectively manipulate and utilize one's natural talents. By following the steps outlined by Robbins, the reader is empowered to increase the quality and enjoyment of his or her life. Tony Robbins most basic premise is, "In our moments of decision, we begin to shape our destiny." Simply, a person can change his or her life's course by making a decision and sticking to it. This process is easier said than done, but Robbins offers real-life solutions on how to accomplish the task. Stressing goal-setting, Robbins asserts that an individual will be able to maximimize his or her potential by making a decision, setting goals and then taking action. Most human beings have great goals in mind, but do not take the necessary steps to achieving these goals. Without taking the proper course of action, one never realizes one's goals. Simply wishing for the fulfillment of goals without action, according to Robbins, is simply "A weak prayer." He writes,"True decisions are the catalyst for turning our dreams into reality...(One must)proclaim, This is who I am. This is what my life is about. And this is what I'm going to do. Nothing will stop me from achieving my destiny, I will not denied!" Once an individual makes a decision, he or she has created a belief. Robbins states that "Behind all successful people lies a specific set of empowering beliefs." The next step is putting the beliefs into action. By doing so, writes Robbins, "(One must) rehearse (the beliefs and methods of attaining the goal) again and again until a neurological way is created...Your brain will begin to associate this as a new way of producing this result on a consistent basis." Robbins insists that if people envision acheiving their goals, they will go into a state where they feel like they could make it happen. By positive projection, one can easily reach his or her goals which he or she had before felt was unattainable. What give Robbins' assertions credibility is that he insists individuals must set realistic goals. He does not assert that everything is possible; he insists instead that most things are possible. Tony Robbins simply teaches the reader how to overcome negative "road blocks" that prevents one from acheiving what one most desires -- whether it is seeking a better career, publishing a book, or becoming a kinder, less stressful person. *Awaken the Giant Within* is a useful resource for those who feel that they have not attained what they are capable of attaining, as well as for those who have been successful, but wish to reach greater success. Robbins is a master motivator who has the gift of stimulating and improving the quality of life for all individuals. Unlike some other "motivators", Robbins does not assert the rediculous, nor does he offer the impossible. He simply strives for bringing out the best in each individual who wishes to do so.

Summary: Not how to get rich
Comment: Funny thing about all of these motivational speakers... they're all rich. And that's one of things that makes us buy their stuff. Though they preach motivation and personal growth, the unsaid implication is that if we follow their lessons, we'll be rich, too.
Tony is no exception; he talks on this tape about how one year he was living in a tiny bachelor apartment, and a few years later he was living in a castle and flying his jet helicopter to his seminars.
But what none of these people ever talk about--including Tony--is HOW they got so wealthy. That would be a problem, since they tend to downplay the importance of money, all the while being paid millions of dollars to do so.
My hunch is that Tony makes his money by having people come to his seminars and buy his stuff. It's the same with financial guru Suze Orman--she hasn't made her money through smart investing; she's made it by writing books and doing a TV show telling us how to invest.
One of the secrets of making money is to find a niche and fill it; if you can't find one, then you invent one and convince people they need it. Arnold Schwarzenegger did this back in the 80's; he convinced people they were out of shape and came up with the whole "I'm going to pump you up" campaign. Tony, Peter Lowe, Zig Ziglar and others have done this with our minds: convinced us that we need to get control of our lives, and to let them tell us how to do it.
That's not to say Tony's stuff is a scam; if you're feeling out of sorts with the world, this tape is indeed a valuable help in focusing on how to get back with it. But for people who have a normal level of intelligence and presence of mind, it may be somewhat unsatisfying.
One thing I've learned is that sometimes the best advice someone can give you is to stop asking for advice! I think a fair number of Personal Power converts probably spend too much time and money going to seminars and studying Tony's stuff, and not enough time simply living their lives and making their own decisions. This tape is not going to tell you how to earn enough money to buy a helicopter or live in a castle. It is not going to tell you how to end up with a beautiful spouse and kids. It will tell you to follow your dream, and offers a few basic guidelines on how to do that. But you have to do the work.
N.B. The tape ends by telling us that by following Tony's advice, you'll attract the "appropriate coaches and role models." Sounds like a plug for Tony's personal coaching services. In other words, even after you've awakened your inner giant, you'll still need help! (Hint: you still need to buy more stuff!)
