Awaken the Giant Within is a #1 New York Times Bestseller selling millions of copies worldwide. The author, Tony Robbins, is not only a #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, but he is the #1 business and life strategist in the world. He is best known for his life-changing seminars he hosts around the world such as Unleash the Power Within and Date with Destiny - a seminar that has its own Netflix Documentary feature about it.

Tony Robbins grew up very poor, and the pain of this experience drove him to action. He did not want to have the environment he grew up in shape the rest of his life. He was made for more. Tony found a mentor Jim Rohn who is one of the greatest motivational speakers ever. Through being guided by Jim, Tony became obsessed with the question "What makes the difference in the quality of people's lives?" 

He has religiously sought out answers to these questions over the course of 40 years. This book contains a lot of the answers to this question. Tony realized early on that the power of the mind is infinite. Everything we do, believe, or feel starts with the mind. This book is all about how to take immediate control of your mental, emotion, physical, and financial destiny.

In this episode, I take the highlights of the 300+ pages of content and provide you with the best lessons that Tony has to offer. The biggest lesson of the whole book is that what we link pain and what we link pleasure to shape our decisions. Our decision shape our destiny. Therefore, to make immediate and actionable change in our lives we have to change what we link pain and pleasure to.

This process is called Neutralistic Programming (NLP) and is a main topic of conversation in this episode. Please enjoy this episode of me sharing the knowledge of one of the brightest minds this world has seen.

Go Live An Extraordinary Life.
