Financial security, personal power, happiness and a good sex life
So you want it all then? Financial security, personal power, happiness, successful relationships, good sex life plus lots of other things?
Yes? Then have I got the book for you! Read Unlimited Power and you'll be like an express train heading towards the land where all your dreams come true.
OK, so I've gone a bit over the top, as usual, but this is one of those books that could give you the kick up the backside you may be looking for. So bend over and get reading. I did and my boyfriend was delighted!
Unfortunately though, just reading this book won't achieve anything wondrous in your life - boooo! To succeed you'll have to put the principles taught into practice and that takes effort. There's always a snag isn't there?
The guy who wrote this book, Anthony Robbins, claims he went from being an overweight, unhappy bachelor (what a cute word) living in a small apartment to a happy multi-millionaire with a castle overlooking the Pacific Ocean - yes he's American! And what's more he is willing to share some of his secrets.
How Did Anthony Robbins Make His Money?
I'd believe Richard Branson
I can feel that you are itching to know how Anthony Robbins did it. From what I can see he made his pile from telling other people how to be succesful!
Now I feel this is cheating a bit.
If, say, someone like Richard Branson (UK entrepreneur) said he did this, this and this to make his fortune and that if I also did this, this and this I'd be as rich as him, I'd listen - even though I'd like him to cut his hair, do something with that beard and stop wearing funny jumpers. But with Mr. Robbins I can't be certain he could have achieved his success in some other business.

Neuro Linguistic Programming
How NLP supposedly works

The book Unlimited Power, a fat 360 pages, is mainly about Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and something the author calls 'modeling' - that's his spelling.
NLP is quite popular in the world of self improvement. Neuro refers to the brain, Linguistic is language and Programming is the installation of a plan or procedure. It's really programming the brain to make it work effectively. And this brings wealth and happiness you may ask?
Well yes, because life is how we look at things. Nothing is real. It's that old example of a bottle being half full or half empty. Same bottle, but you and I may see it differently.
NLP is about taking charge of your life. Robbins claims we can move away from being like Pavlov's dogs responding to stimulus such as trends, advertising, negative messages and so on. Instead we can use our brain properly and choose how we wish to act and behave - and so achieve what we want from life.
Sounds reasonable.

Can Unlimited Power Help With Depression?
Anthony Robbins has an answer
Lets look at depression, for example, that should cheer us all up!
According to our main man you don't 'catch' depression you create it like everything else in your life.
If you want to feel depressed (hopefully you don't) it helps if you collapse your shoulders and look down a lot. Speaking in a sad sounding tone of voice and thinking the worst possible scenarios also helps. If you mix this with poor diet, alcohol and maybe drugs you'll assist your body in creating low blood sugar and thus virtually guarantee depression.
Now if you want to change, what do you need to do? I'm not going to tell you, you'll have to read the book! Well come on now, this lens will probably be too long as it is and I can't condense 200,000 words into twenty or thirty.
I'll just say that you have to alter the way you think, the pictures you create in your head and your body posture.
The good news is, if it's possible to make ourselves feel depressed, we can also make ourselves feel happy and can achieve exciting things. What do we have to do? Just get them brains working and feed in the right images.
Actually I disagree a bit with Anthony Robbins as I think it is the mind that we have to control, as the mind works the brain, but what do I know compared to a multi-millionaire and a real nice guy!

The Unlimited Power Success Strategy
Modeling is one of the secrets
If we look at the success strategy that Tony (a bit familiar, but I feel I know him now) suggests, it partly revolves round that word I mentioned earlier - 'modeling'.
He likes using fancy words to describe something to make it sound special and different. There's a lot of this in the book. Personally I would replace the word modeling with copying. You have to copy what others have done before - and not become like the girl in the photo!
As T ( well he is quite a cute T) says, "The movers and shakers of the world are often professional modelers (copiers) - people who have mastered the art of learning everything they can by following other people's experience rather than their own".
In other words if you can think, act and so on like someone else you can duplicate their success. Personally I'm off to buy a stick on beard, some big teeth and I'm going to begin to think like a Virgin! Hope my boyfriend won't mind.
So you are ready to programme your brain, use the right body posture, copy someone else but what do you have to do first?
You've got to decide what it is you actually want from life, that's what. This is quite difficult, but you've got to be brave and get it all down on paper. To help T tells us to think along the lines of, "If you knew you wouldn't fail what would you do?"
This is to free our mind of limitations. Many of us think we can't do something because of lots of negative thoughts we have accepted over the years
How do we get rid of all of these limiting thoughts? By replacing the pictures in our brain/mind/head with positive pictures.
The pictures of how we think things are can be manipuated. We can look at them and make them darker or smaller until they fade away and replace them with new brighter, bigger positive pictures. This book will tell you how.
Unlimited Power will also tell you about communication, rapport, persuasion, how to overcome phobias and a lot more besides. All of this is designed to turn you into one dynamic package ready to conquer your world.

My Thoughts On Unlimited Power
The things readers should be able to do
I found Unlimited Power by Anthony Robbins very interesting but I have read several similar books and so I knew what to expect.
There's a lot of strange words bandied about that aren't really necessary. There's a lot of syntax, submodalities, sensory acuity, eye scanning patterns throughout the pages. He's also into 'Optimum Performance Technologies' by which he really means the best way of doing something. This makes reading sometimes a little heavy and occasionally I had to do a double take to see what the guy was on about.
Nevertheless the principles laid out in the book will make many readers think differently about what they can achieve in life. After the final page readers should be able to:
(1) Duplicate the success of others
(2) Create instant rapport with anyone
(3) Eliminate fears and phobias
(4) Find out what they really want
So that can't be bad!

How To be Successful With Girls
... and with guys
Oh and guys, did you know that some girls like to hear things, some like to see things and others just like to feel? Now if you know how your girl thinks you should either say, show or touch accordingly. Get it right and well ... but get it wrong and it'll be the kiss of 'goodbye'.
It's the same the other way round of course.
I've discovered, with a little observation, that my boyfriend thinks auditory i.e. in words. So if I say a few right words he's putty. "Oh you're so clever/handsome/big," usually does the trick!
The book, Unlimited Power by Anthony Robbins, certainly hasn't been wasted on me, some of it I have put into practice - so watch out!
Yes, worth a read, lots of useful stuff providing you can wade through the jargon.

- Am glad I stumbled on this lens. I have always wondered about Robbins. Maybe I will read one of his books now. Modeling intrigues me.
