A Life-Altering Experience
I HATE self-help books, except for their humor potential... as in, making fun of them. This book was recommended to me by my brand new "friend"... my therapist. God, it feels funny to even utter the words "my therapist." I borrowed the book from the library last night, and started reading it at about 11:00 p.m. I literally could not put it down... and finished at about 12:30. Today, I'm ordering my own copy from Amazon, and I'm going to let everyone in my office borrow it too. I think that EVERYONE should be REQUIRED to read this book once in their lives... you don't have to buy into it, but you should at least read it. Thank you, Anthony Robbins.

Short, sweet and challenging
Notes From A Friend is a interesting book. If you want to know more about Tony Robbins thoughts and techniques Notes From A Friend gives many of his popular ideas in a very compact format. If you are one of those people that likes a book that challenges you, asks you to exercises and change they way you think this is the book for you. I found the book quite useful from a couple of different perspectives. Some of the changes that Notes From A Friend suggests are really small distinctions, but taken together they can have significant impact. One of the examples from Notes From A Friend are the questions that you ask yourself. Notes From A Friend suggest asking questions that lead to the solution of a problem rather then victim questions such as why did this happen to me. Another distinction is how we view failures. Failures will occur if we try anything useful. It is really our reaction to these failures and what we learn from them that matters.
Not content to Notes From A Friend just be an intriguing read Robbins challenges the reader with a ten day program that is a powerful application of the essence of the book. If you want to know more about Tony Robbins, his techniques and are not afriad a book that gives homework assignments I recommend this book.

Don't Buy Into The Hype
Ya Know, it still amazes me to see mostly all of tony's books with 4 or 5 star reviews. Yet, these people can't say HOW the book changed their lives, just that it was 'a great book'. I think these people just follow him blindly and swallow any garbage he puts out, it's actually a shame people are this gullible. THis book is a smaller version of ATGW and Unlimited Power. With the silly cartoons and large print, it looks like it's catered to dumb people(who have to be to follow his work) Nothing more than shallow, 'pump up' mumbo jumbo this con man is notorious for.
