Notes From A Friend: A Quick and Simple Guide to Taking Charge of Your Life

This has to be one of the best books I have ever read in my life. It's a fairly thin book, but all the things in it are powerfully described, yet simple ideas and very very thought provoking. It deals with how to approach difficulties in life, your own outlook, how you currently self talk and how to self talk, how you come across to others visually/physically, how to think with the right mindset, how to deal with difficulties along the way and gives many examples of real life people and how they succeeded, including the authors own life situation. This is a superb book, very very inspiring. I definitely recommend it. It's a very empowering book if you have the right approach to the information and tips Antony Robbins gives the reader. I found this book so useful I have since bought 3 more copies for other friends who could benefit from a copy.

I probably paid more for the shipping than the actual book. I've heard of Tony Robbins over the years, but just can't seem to get through his big books at the moment. Too much coursework to read, the kids are demanding...oh, and I'm starting my own business. This little book is a gem to simply get a perspective shift. When you're living life in the fast lane, and feeling extremely overwhelmed...you need "simple"! The biggest benefit of the book is that it helps to shift your mind off of yourself and onto others. Instead of thinking, "how the heck am I going to make money?!"...I'm thinking, "How can I help others?". It's all about perspective. I love this little book!

A book of knowledge and information great self help book just keep going back to it

A light and easy book to read to start your journey of personal growth. It provides inspiration for those who know there is more to life and are open to achieving.

I think this a great buy for one man to another . YOu know when you want to help but for want of a better phrase 'it all seems a bit gay'. Passing this to someone you can put it under the heading 'its for motivation' not because 'I can see you are on the edge of a breakdown and I don;t know what to say'. If you see someone that needs a book on Life , or you need some pointers yourself., Get this. Short and to the point ....unlike this review.

If you've ever read any of Tony Robbins' bigger works and thought "I wish there was a quick, no-fluff version of all this" — this is it. Notes from a Friend is essentially Tony's success philosophy distilled down to its essentials, and it delivers exactly what it promises. It's a quick read, but don't let that fool you. The core ideas on how to think, how to act, and how to shift your mindset toward success are all here. Whether you're already familiar with Tony's work or coming to it fresh, this book works on both levels — as a handy reminder of principles you may have drifted away from, or as the perfect introduction to what makes his approach so powerful and enduring. I found myself nodding along throughout, getting that familiar nudge back toward the right mindset. Sometimes that's exactly what you need — not another 500-page deep dive, but a concise, energising reset. If you're on the fence, get off it. Highly recommended!

Some books seem to arrive at the right moment - this was one of them for me. Having been to a Robbins' live event I knew he was the real deal but never read any of his stuff. Succinct, great messages underpinned by vignettes/stories with Robbins' gift for making the complex simple, it is compelling and easy to read. It has really helped me get solutions-focused around my current challenge. Outstanding. If you're stuck or struggling with a challenge buy it, you won't find more bang for the buck elsewhere.

This is definitely one of those little books that can have a HUGE effect on your life! All of the fundamentals that Tony Robbins' teaches is wrapped up into this one little book.. You can finish this book within a day with ease, make new commitments to yourself, new action plans, new ideas.. in a nut shell.. have a NEW life all within a day after reading this book.. I am a huge fan of tony before this book.. would recommend it to ANYONE.. whether you are new to his material or not. Enjoy

I’ve done all of this before and for 3 years I thought I’d never feel “the way I used to feel” ever again. I thought I was forever changed, and I loved who I had become. Then I stopped the work that I had done to create the persons I wanted to be, life threw me a curve or two, and my consistent practicing of simple fundamentals on a daily basis wasn’t there and so neither were the results I had created in equally difficult circumstances in the past. I’ve realized the daily “mental workouts” which massively created what/who I wanted to be just needed to be reimplemented. I’ve been working daily, again, and my thinking is already better again, my optimism is returning, and this book is one of the tools I’m using. I believe Tony discusses building mental muscles. I worked my ass off to do that once before but was shortsighted in thinking that once I had it, I had it forever. I’m re-dedicated and am excited because I know what’s coming: extreme belief in myself, optimism no matter what life throws at me. Showing up believing there’s no better MD in the ER than me and that each patient is lucky to have me; each friend is going to love being around me; my kids will adore their time wih me. I had it. I slipped a bit, and now I’ll ge it all back by doing the work again….and keeping up wih I this time. Please believe. We are all more alike than we are different. If others can do it, why can’t we? Let’s create what we want!

Good book indeed. Anthony Robbins' books are generally quite long. If one does not have so much patience to read too many pages, one can go for it as it contains the essence of two of his best selling books in a few pages.

A great summary of important ideas. Tony Robbins explains concepts in an easy to understand format.

This book has helped me me so many times this is my 3rd purchase. One I gave away to a woman who husband has a hard time looking for work, I gave her my copy and said , I read Notes from a friend a 1000 times and used every aspect of of his book to change my mindset, my spirit ms and new direction to focus on to get a positive result. Got it again because I loved Tony’s real life stories on KFC with 1009 no’s for one giant big yes which made him a millionaire. Honda stories are incredible and I have also purchased Tony’s Audio tapes and the giant within everyone of us is just waiting for the opportunity to release it onto the world. Been struggling with grieving issues for 30 months, 17 days , 16 hours , 45 minutes and 17 seconds. That I needed , to read Notes from a Friend to help control my emotional distress and high anxiety of going poor for my first time in my life. Each time I read it, I write all the positive ways then I immediately try it with my photography and printing services to keep me moving forward. I really want to thank Tony Robbins for creating this guide to help me move forward one day at a time! Super new cover design and it will be useful tool in my life for eternity!
