Guest post by Abby Williams
Reading through several writers’ forums I note that many of us want to write, love to write, but occasionally lack the self-motivation to write. A great self-improvement book I read years ago, and which I continually dip into is Anthony Robbins’ ‘Awaken the Giant Within’
It’s not a book about writing, more about giving you tools to plan an effective strategy to improve every facet of your life. In turn this should help our productivity as writers. Normally self-help books bore me – I feel I’ve read it all before – but this one keeps me interested.
If you sign up for his newsletter (www.tonyrobbins.com) you’ll get lots of inspirational tips too to keep you going. There’s a facility where you can even send inspiring e-cards to each other.
Writing can be a lonely job but if I start the day reading a page or chapter (even a sentence) from his book it gives me a positive kick-start to the day. It’s good to read too that even the most successful people in our society have had some severe knock backs. Rather than saying ‘why me?’ they’ve picked themselves up, dusted themselves down and started all over again. Whenever I get a rejection I think of them and try to feel inspired again.

I have never read this book but I’ve heard the audiobook version of it. Although I find the content very inspiring to the point that I’ve re-listened to it, there is something about Tony Robbins and the way he made the audio that puts me off. Maybe I should try the paper version of it.
Thanks for this review.
