This book is about taking the kinds of massive, focused, congruent actions that lead to overwhelming results. In two words, Producing results!. In the book, Robbins discusses how to use one’s mind to achieve goals and success.
This may explain how he could transform himself from a person, in the mid twenties, from an extremely unhappy person, thirty pounds overweight with floundering relationships and limited prospects, to a centered, healthy, respected individual with great relationships and the opportunity for unlimited success, in 3 short years.

Knowledge is only part of the question… a major part is ACTION. ACTION produces results. In fact POWER is defined as “The ability to ACT”
Every communication is action, so communication is power. Your level of communication mastery will determine your level of success with others, personally, emotionally, socially and financially. The level of success you experience internally, is based on how you communicate with yourself. How you feel is not the result of what is happening in your life, but what you perceive is happening in your life. One can interpret any result in a positive way or a negative way.
Outstanding peopie leave clues to how they achieve results. Duplicate actions of others. Adopt actions and beliefs that produce similar results. Find models of personal excellence.
The key to love, power, joys i the ability to control, direct and manage your states.
How to run your brain – How you produce a state of depression and ecstacy is how one structures your internal representations. You can direct and implant in your brain, the cures you want.

People who shape our lives have an ability to communicate a vision, quest, joy or mission in a way that creates a passion in you to share that vision. It is what makes a great parent, artist , politician or teacher.
7 Beliefs that foster excellence

- Whatever happens, take responsibility. If you take responsibility, you can control the agenda. We generate our own experiences of life and we learn from all of them.
- You do not have to understand everything to use everything. Don’t get bogged down in the details. Understand the outcome, and what you need to get the outcome.
