Awaken The Giant Within By Anthony Robbins

This book is the bible of self development for the modern day. I’ve yet to see a person finish this book without experiencing a drastic change in their life in one way or another.

Early on, Robbins mentions that the majority of people who pick it up don’t get past the first chapter, and I was one of them on my first attempt. But when I came back to it several years later, I couldn’t put it down. It’s one of those books you need to be in the right headspace for to fully receive.

He covers a wide range of areas. Some might not be relevant to you, while others will hit hard. For me, it was his model of pain and pleasure, and I apply it to my daily life. I won’t go too deep into it here because I wouldn’t want to take away that lightbulb moment when you get there yourself.

It’s a big book, but once you’re into it, it feels small because no pages are wasted. Anthony Robbins did the work so we don’t have to, combining the wisdom of great minds from various eras with his own to create what truly is the self development bible.
