I'm sure a lot of you have already read this classic, but I just finished it and WOW.
Tony Robbins is incredible and the way he's able to present all of this information and make it easily digestible is fascinating.
I strongly feel like this is one of those books that anybody who is struggling to make it as a fastlaner, or even for those looking to just improve their personal lives one step at a time can drastically benefit from.
It focuses on the basics/fundamentals of human psychology (which are absolutely essential to success not just financially but in life as a whole..the sooner you realize that the quicker you'll begin to grow and gain all of the feelings that you think would come from only becoming rich and successful, such as happiness, gratitude, fulfillment, etc) behind everything that we do (how we are constantly seeking ways to gain pleasure and avoid pain), how we go through our lives with these unquestioned beliefs and convictions which in return dictate our behaviors, the way we act, the thoughts we think and the life we ultimately end up living.
Most of us live on auto-pilot without ever even digging in to the reasons behind why we do what we do and why we act the way we act...which is sad because it means we aren't in control of anything...we are living a life based on our perceptions of past experiences and outcomes and not the true reality of them, and most importantly not the way we truly want to live. We have the power to control our mind and change our destiny!
He discusses how the quality of our questions that we subconsciously ask ourselves each and every day and the words we use to craft those questions can have a significant affect on the trajectory of our lives.
Simply put, by using more empowering words and by asking better quality questions, you can focus your energy on making positives strides in your life versus negative.
Even though the book is over 500 pages, I highly highly recommend reading it.
One of the biggest takeaways I got from it (there were a LOT of them), was the concept of determining the types of states of mind and emotional feelings that you want to feel on a daily basis. Then defining your rules about them/how you know when you are feeling them, and then making an effort to figure out how to accomplish feeling each one every single day.
So many of us go through our lives without ever sitting and reflecting on what our rules are on what happiness is to us or when do we feel most happy. Instead of taking the time to do this and then committing yourself to figuring out ways to constantly feel these ways, we remain in our cycle of habits that we find most comfort in (which circles back to Tony's concept of people linking more pain to changing than to not) which typically revolves around feeling a lot more negative emotions than positive.
Anyway, just thought I'd share my two cents on the book and would love to hear others input on it. If this convinces anyone to read the book, then I'll have achieved what I sought out to do
Oh yea, I also wrote all of my notes regarding the book on my website right here...wasn't sure if I'm allowed to put it here but thought it would be beneficial for those who don't have the "time" to read it or are just too lazy to do so!
