A summary of ANTHONY ROBBINS AWAKEN THE GIANT WITHIN and other pop psychology books.

General principles

Your mind leads your body.

Your actions lead to your beliefs. Your beliefs lead to generalizations. Generalizations lead to your values. Your actions thus become you. Therefore you can be in control of you.

Leaders are not realistic.

Your vocabulary matters. All about NLP.

Transform your emotions into action towards your goals.

People overestimate the amount they can do in a year, but underestimate the amount they can do in ten.

Small changes can make a big difference.

Thinking is just a process of asking and answering questions. Successful people ask better questions and get better answers. They evaluate situations better and are able to discern what they need to do.

You can distort and master time to fit your needs.
