Anthony Robbins was one of the first books I read when getting into personal development. The first program I ever read/listened to was “Awaken the Giant Within” and that book and the rest of his works continue to change the way I think and live my life.
He was recently on Good Morning America a day ago talking about how to handle the stress in the “crisis” of today’s environment. Some things I found interesting when watching:
- Notice how he emphasizes frames of reference- you can see it in the conversation with the interviewer, how he uses his and her personal situations to build a commonality and then transitions it to personal growth.
- Leverage- While it is easy to say that the external environment today is much more stressful than what it was a few years ago, notice the emphasis too on leveraging that “crisis” as a point of inflection to analyze where you are and where you want to go and use it as your launching pad towards a better you.
