One of my favorite books is "Unlimited Power" by Anthony Robbins. It is a non-fiction, self-help book that presents dozens of practical techniques for using your mind to change the way you feel. This is the only book I have ever read from cover to cover and then immediately started it again and read it through a second time.

I have used many of the techniques Tony presents to make my life better. The book is not about hype or "pop psychology", but is more of a systematic approach to changing your thinking, your emotions, and your life. And the amazing thing is, Tony's techniques work -- if you will persistently do them.

Here are some samples:

"If you adopt a vital, dynamic, excited physiology, you automatically adopt the same kind of (mental/emotional) state. It works so fast and it works without fail." --Tony Robbins

"The level of success you experience internally -- the happiness, joy, ecstasy, love, or anything else you desire -- is the direct result of how you communicate to yourself. How you feel is not the result of what is happening in your life -- it is (the result of) your interpretation of what is happening." Tony Robbins

"No matter how terrible a situation is, you can represent it in a way that empowers you." --Tony Robbins

"You can let your brain run you. You can let it flash you any picture or sound or feeling, and you can respond automatically on cue, like a Pavlovian dog responding to a bell. Or you can choose to consciously run your brain yourself. You can implant the cues you want." --Tony Robbins

If you want a happier, more effective life, read and do the things taught in "Unlimited Power".
