Do you want to take control of your life, abolish your limitations and achieve your most elusive goals? Anthony Robbins teaches you how to do just that. You’ll learn how your brain processes information and how to manipulate that process to your advantage. You’ll explore the science of 'Neuro-Linguistic Programming' (NLP), the study of human neurology, so you can analyze and duplicate your successes.

Robbins argues that by using a new technique called neurolinguistic programming (NLP) anyone can become successful at almost anything. NLP teaches us how to communicate success to ourselves. One of the best ways to do this is to model ourselves on people who are successful: Think, act, and speak like a success and you are on the way to being one.

Robbins uses NLP extensively, although many experts debunk it. He explains that the best path to success is to find an accomplished person, discover his or her strategies for becoming successful, and duplicate that process.

He also weighs in on how to keep your weight down, communicate and eliminate bad habits. He encourages you to read every page and perform every exercise. This is not easy because he explains each concept at least two or three ways.

This is a comprehensive and intelligent success achievement program for setting and following through with personal and professional goals by the California behaviorist who popularized the method of "neurolinguistic programming'' (NLP), or control of mind over body, culminating in his trainees' barefoot jaunt over hot coals. Essential to Robbins's "Ultimate Success Formula'' are clarity of desired goals, energy, passion, persistence of action, effective communication skills and altruistic motives.

His is a success prescription based on realistic and sophisticated ideology, best suited for those who have already "got what it takes'' and simply have yet to make it happen.

This book is a good place to start if you seek a personal achievement makeover.
