What is Tony Robbins’s Unlimited Power<\/em> about? What is the key message to take away from the book? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his book Unlimited Power<\/em>, Tony Robbins claims that the key to this is ensuring that your actions, beliefs, and goals all work together and complement each other. He believes that doing so will allow you to harness a level of energy and conviction that will enable you to achieve all of your goals in life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is a brief overview of Tony Robbins’s Unlimited Power: The New Science Of Personal Achievement<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Unlimited Power: The New Science Of Personal Achievement<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlimited Power <\/em>by Tony Robbins is a classic self-help book that teaches you how to take control of your life<\/a>. Tony Robbins is a world-famous life coach, motivational speaker, and business strategist. Unlimited Power<\/em>, published in 1986, was his first big hit as an author. The book has enjoyed largely positive reviews praising its insights and straightforward, actionable ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide will start by teaching you how to harness your thoughts and beliefs and turn them into purposeful action. Then, once you understand how to achieve<\/a> your personal goals, we\u2019ll discuss how you can find even greater success through cooperation and leadership. Finally, we\u2019ll briefly examine how you can use your successes to help others and improve the world<\/a> around you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that, since its 1986 publication, some of Unlimited Power<\/em>\u2019s core principles\u2014especially those based on psychology\u2014have fallen out of favor or been refuted outright. Therefore, our commentary will explore how those theories have evolved since the 1980s, including how Robbins himself has updated some of the ideas he presents here. We\u2019ll also draw connections to other prominent self-help books like Flow<\/em><\/a> and Extreme Ownership<\/em><\/a>, offering clear and actionable advice on achieving your goals and living a happy, productive life<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harness the Power of Your Mind<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Robbins believes that taking control of your life<\/a> starts with taking control of your mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people find themselves wasting enormous amounts of time and energy because their thoughts and beliefs aren\u2019t aligned with their goals\u2014their mental gears grind against each other instead of meshing smoothly. For example, imagine someone wants to lose weight but spends a lot of time thinking about food and believes that he lacks the self-control to eat healthily. He\u2019ll waste a lot of energy fighting against those thoughts and beliefs and berating himself for his perceived lack of willpower<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step toward achieving your goals is to eliminate that internal resistance; in other words, to make sure that what you think <\/em>and what you do <\/em>are really getting you closer to what you want. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s discuss three of Robbins\u2019s tips for how to gain power over your mind by aligning your goals<\/a>, thoughts, and beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #1: Reprogram Your Mind<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

One way to take control of your mind is through a practice called <\/strong>neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robbins says that all people\u2019s nervous systems\u2014meaning both the brain and the body\u2014work in more or less the same way. Nervous systems are like computers all using the same operating system. Therefore, whatever one person can do, <\/strong>any <\/em><\/strong>person can do; it\u2019s just a matter of running the right mental \u201cprograms.\u201d<\/strong> This theory is known as NLP. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robbins believes that NLP provides a method to accomplish anything you can imagine. Furthermore, because people\u2019s minds all work with the same programming, you can figure out which programs to run by observing and imitating people who have already done what you\u2019re trying to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, someone who wants to become a better martial artist might study Bruce Lee: how he moves, how and when he strikes, and even how he breathes during a fight. Robbins calls this process modeling<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there\u2019s more to NLP than just copying the person\u2019s physical actions. <\/strong>Robbins says you have to copy that person\u2019s mental state, intentions, beliefs, and values. If you want to achieve what someone else has achieved, then you must\u2014at least for a short while\u2014think and act exactly <\/em>like that person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #2: Control Your Mind by Controlling Your Body<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Another way to take control of your mind is by stimulating your body<\/strong>. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robbins says that mental and emotional states are closely linked to what your body is doing. <\/strong>For example, someone who\u2019s afraid will probably be tense, have an elevated heart rate, and breathe quickly and shallowly\u2014these are all physical responses to the emotion of fear. However, the connection goes both ways. <\/strong>This person can bring his fear under control by relaxing his muscles, sitting up straight, and taking slow, deep breaths; a physical state associated with calmness and confidence.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same goes for any mental or emotional state: You can create the state you want by recreating the physical cues that go along with it. <\/strong>For instance, if you want to improve your focus<\/a>, you could lean forward; if you want to feel happier, you could force a smile. Just as your body naturally reacts to what you think and feel, your brain naturally reacts to what you do<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robbins adds that, while you can influence your emotions with short-term bodily mastery as explained above, a major part of taking control of your life is through long-term bodily mastery\u2014or in simpler terms, physical fitness. A strong body is a source of endless energy, both physical and mental; you can use that energy to help you accomplish your goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #3: Control Your Beliefs<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A crucial part of taking control of your mind is to make sure that you have powerful beliefs rather than disempowering ones. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robbins says that everyone has a belief system<\/a> that they\u2019ve built\u2014largely without realizing it\u2014based on their upbringing, personal experiences, and knowledge. Those beliefs create the boundaries, or the lack of them, that person operates within. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, you can do whatever you believe you can; conversely, you <\/strong>can\u2019t <\/em><\/strong>do what you believe you can\u2019t. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, suppose two scientists each get the chance to present their work at a large and prestigious conference. One believes that he doesn\u2019t deserve the chance\u2014that his work isn\u2019t important enough, and that he\u2019s not experienced or knowledgeable enough to stand in front of a room full of famous scientists and teach them something new. He believes that he can\u2019t do it, so he declines the invitation and remains in obscurity. This scientist\u2019s beliefs got in the way of him achieving his goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other scientist believes that she\u2019s as good a scientist as anyone else at that conference, that her work is as important and as well-done as anything the other attendees produced, and that all she needs is the chance to prove herself. Therefore, where the other scientist saw a frightening and overwhelming event that he wasn\u2019t prepared for, she sees an opportunity. She presents her work, her name spreads through the scientific community, and she gets a large influx of funding to continue her research. This scientist\u2019s beliefs drove her to achieve her goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose Powerful Beliefs<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that you can replace your disempowering beliefs<\/a> with powerful ones. <\/strong>According to Robbins, changing your beliefs<\/a> is as easy as simply deciding to do so: You can identify a disempowering belief, pick a powerful belief that you\u2019d like to replace it, and then act according to that new belief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help with this process, Robbins suggests that you imagine what life will be like once that new, empowering belief<\/a> is in place. Envision, as clearly and specifically as possible, a situation in which you act according to that new belief. This will put you in the right mindset to go forward and make your imagined life a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Determine What You Value Most<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Robbins adds that values are a particularly important subset of beliefs: They\u2019re beliefs about what\u2019s right and wrong, or what\u2019s good and bad. Values are important because while other beliefs determine what you <\/strong>can <\/em><\/strong>do, your values determine what you <\/strong>will <\/em><\/strong>do.<\/strong> For example, someone who values wealth will work hard at a profitable career, while someone who values friendship will work hard at relationships instead. Someone who values joy will seek it out; someone who values health might forgo momentary joys like junk food and alcohol to stay fit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as people have numerous beliefs, they have numerous different values. Furthermore, sometimes those values can oppose each other\u2014for instance, someone who values both honesty and self-esteem might experience some confusing feelings if someone else\u2019s honesty damages his self-esteem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why Robbins suggests creating a list of values and then ranking them by importance. <\/strong>Doing so serves two purposes: First, it allows you to see what\u2019s important to you and decide what\u2019s most <\/em>important. Second, if you find yourself caught between conflicting values, you\u2019ll know which one should take precedence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, remember that it\u2019s possible to pick and choose values just like any other beliefs, so make sure that your personal values<\/a> are beneficial and empowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Align Your Beliefs, Values, and Actions<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Robbins concludes by saying that you can achieve incredible energy and focus by aligning your beliefs and values with bold, confident action. <\/strong>He calls this congruence<\/em>: a state in which you\u2019re able to bring all of your mental and physical abilities to bear on whatever task is at hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trick to reaching this state is making sure that all of your thoughts, desires, and actions are working toward the same objective. That\u2019s why it\u2019s crucial to take control of your mind\u2014you must make sure that you\u2019re not obstructing yourself with disempowering beliefs or conflicting values. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, someone who talks about what he \u201cwants\u201d to do, or what \u201cmight\u201d happen, is getting in his own way; he doesn\u2019t fully believe <\/em>that he\u2019ll achieve his goals. Therefore, he won\u2019t be able to fully harness his energy and his conviction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Power Over Your Life<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know how to create energy and momentum by controlling your body and your mind, it\u2019s time to learn how to harness that energy to achieve your goals<\/a>. Based on Robbins\u2019s ideas, we\u2019ve created a four-step process to accomplish anything you can imagine. We\u2019ve included some of Robbins\u2019s essential tips to help you through the steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Decide What You Want<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Before you can start working, you need to know what you\u2019re working toward. <\/em>Robbins says that an effective goal must be clear, ambitious yet achievable, and most importantly, inspirational. <\/em>That last point is crucial because, no matter how much energy you have, you won\u2019t want to put any of it toward a goal that doesn\u2019t excite you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Get Started<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Once you have a goal in mind, figure out a course of action that seems likely to get you closer to that goal, then take that course. Robbins emphasizes this step very strongly; no matter how much you want something or how carefully you plan, you\u2019ll never get closer to your goals unless you take action. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2.5: Fearlessly Work With Others<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

There are few goals, if any, that you can accomplish completely on your own. Somewhere along the way, you\u2019ll need support, advice, or approval from someone else, and any interaction with another person carries the possibility of being rejected. That\u2019s why one of Robbins\u2019s essential tips is: <\/strong>Don\u2019t fear rejection.<\/em><\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rejection can be painful, but you mustn\u2019t let the fear of it stop you from doing whatever\u2019s necessary to reach your goals<\/a>. Remember: Some of the world\u2019s most famous artists, actors, and musicians spent years experiencing rejection after rejection before they finally found success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Gauge Your Progress<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve started your plan of action, regularly review your progress toward your goal and consider whether each action so far has served you well. Whether it was a simple conversation, a business investment, a workout, or just a daily habit, determine whether each action got you closer to your goal or farther from it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robbins adds that, in many cases, other people\u2019s responses to your actions will be the best indicator of whether or not you\u2019re getting closer to your goals. Did people respond positively or negatively to what you did?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Change What\u2019s Not Working<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you determine that an action got you closer to your goal in some way, then continue doing it. However, if it didn\u2019t, then you must be flexible enough to change your approach. Reexamine your actions and see if you can determine what went wrong; if necessary, recheck your mental program against the person you\u2019re imitating to make sure it\u2019s accurate. Keep evaluating and adjusting your actions however many times it takes to start getting the results you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This brings us to another of Robbins\u2019s essential tips: Learn to cope with aggravating setbacks. <\/em>Nothing great was ever achieved smoothly and easily. The world\u2019s top achievers in any field\u2014business, sports, science, art, and so on\u2014went from mistake to mistake and defeat to defeat on their way to success. So, no matter how many times you have to adjust your plan and try again, remember that the only true failure is giving up. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another of Robbins\u2019s essential tips is that you mustn\u2019t let yourself stagnate.<\/strong> Once you accomplish a goal, start thinking about the next one\u2014use the momentum you\u2019ve built to keep improving yourself<\/a>, rather than resting on your laurels and losing the energy you worked so hard to create. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other People Multiply Your Power<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So far, you\u2019ve learned how to create incredible energy by aligning your thoughts with your actions and how to use that energy to take control of your own life. However, no matter how empowered and motivated you are, there will always be limits to what a single person can achieve. That\u2019s why Robbins says that you can only achieve the titular <\/strong>Unlimited Power <\/em><\/strong>through leadership and cooperation. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn People\u2019s Motivations<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Robbins says that to effectively work with people, you need to understand their motivations.<\/strong> Even if you have a motivating, inspiring goal, you won\u2019t be able to get others to cooperate in achieving it <\/em>unless you can communicate it in a way that motivates them. Note that Robbins doesn\u2019t mean that you need to find out people\u2019s specific goals and desires\u2014although that can help. Rather, try to understand how they interact with the world around them. You can use this understanding to find the most effective way of motivating someone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, one person might be highly motivated to get what she wants. You\u2019re likely to convince this person with promises of what she could gain by listening to you: perhaps a new job, the chance to make a difference in the community, or the respect of her peers. However, another person might be more motivated<\/a> to avoid <\/em>what he doesn’t <\/em>want\u2014for someone like this, you\u2019d have to tell him what he might lose by ignoring you (like missing out on an exciting opportunity, losing money, or ending up with an inferior product from your competitor). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is just one example\u2014people can have countless different motivations. Robbins\u2019s point is that getting people to work with you requires observing them, speaking with them, and finding clues about what motivates them. <\/strong>Whether you\u2019re trying to resolve a problem with a loved one, make a sale<\/a>, or bring in a new business partner, finding the right way to communicate with the other person is crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use Your Power to Help Others<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know how to create and harness unlimited energy to achieve your goals, Robbins warns that you mustn\u2019t let your personal successes define you or control you. <\/strong>In other words, stay true to your own beliefs and values even after you successfully transform your life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, don\u2019t start believing that you\u2019re better than others because of what you\u2019ve accomplished. Similarly, don\u2019t fall into the trap of believing that your only <\/em>worth is in what you accomplish or how much money you have so that you become obsessed with working. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others may try to define you or stereotype you based on superficial things like your job title<\/a> or your income; don\u2019t accept their judgments either. The only one who defines you is yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This brings us to Robbins\u2019s last essential tip: Be generous\u2014since only you can decide who you are<\/a>, make sure to be a good person. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robbins recommends taking 10% of your income and donating it to good causes. Furthermore, he suggests starting this practice today, rather than waiting until some undefined point in the future when you\u2019re \u201csuccessful.\u201d However, Robbins adds that generosity isn\u2019t just about money; you can be generous with your time, with your skills, with your love, or with anything you have that others need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, give more than you think you\u2019ll ever get back\u2014the happiness and fulfillment you\u2019ll get from doing so are worth more than anything you could possibly give away. In short, Robbins believes that true success in life doesn\u2019t come simply from creating unlimited power or even from achieving your personal goals. Rather, success comes from using your unlimited power to help others.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
