Awaken the Giant within: How to Take Immediate Control of Your Mental, Physical and Emotional Self

Product Information

Whenever you want to describe something new and unfamiliar to someone, you use metaphor to connect it with something well-known to the person. Awaken the Giant Within is a fascinating, intriguing presentation of cutting-edge findings and insights across a broad spectrum of issues, including the growing consciousness that true success is first anchored to enduring values and service to others.

Am I the same guy who eight years ago was struggling, frustrated, feeling alone and incapable of making my life work? it’s never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events—how we interpret them—that shapes who we are today and who we’ll become tomorrow. And if you teach yourself to associate pleasure to something you want to be a regular behavior, you are more likely to do it, because your nervous system will want to. You’ve got to do it deliberately; otherwise, you’re going to be at the mercy of whatever happens around you.Awaken the Giant Within is a book, or life guide written by Anthony Robbins, a professional coach and motivational speaker. You need to ensure yourself a list of things that make you happy, can cheer you up, change your mood, and train your brain to use them as routine actions. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thing was changing what I demanded of myself. This is one of the rare books, and coaching methods I find, that puts human emotions and pleasure in the first place, which I consider the crucial thing to do to make any sustainable change and development. If we held the great heroes of our past to the same unbending criteria by which we judge our present-day heroes, we wouldn’t have any heroes… A hero is not someone who is “perfect,” because none of us is perfect.

The quarterback is the public hero; however, in any game in life there are a multitude of players who are the hidden heroes, and in this endeavor there have been many. If you raise your standards but don’t really believe you can meet them, you’ve already sabotaged yourself. I recently finished “Awaken the Giant Within” by Tony Robbins, and I’d like to share my thoughts and a book review.You’ll often learn things that you could have never expected, and your life will improve as a result of that learning. However, if you do read “Awaken the Giant Within” one day, I’d plan to highlight the text, bookmark pages and take a lot of notes. Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards and believe you can meet them. It’s okay to use metaphors, especially if it helps us to understand a situation or emotions, but the problem becomes if we use global metaphors in an inappropriate way.
