Personal Power II: The Driving Force
Anthony Robbins

Phone orders call 1-800-898-8669

Personal Power II: The Driving Force is a 30-day program designed to help you determine what you really want out of life and teach you how to get it. This is the same program you have probably seen advertised in television infomercials on many occasions.

This program was my introduction to the work of Anthony Robbins. If you are familiar with my writing in the bodybuilding magazines, you may be aware I am a big fan of his. I credit his work for helping me focus on and achieve many of my "unbelievable" bodybuilding accomplishments. Along the way, I also improved the overall quality of my life.

If you are motivated to take your training to the next level, consider learning how your mind already works. Currently, I am going through the program for the third time since 1993. It is a great tool for making continuing improvements in every facet of my life.

You must give this program 100 percent effort and follow through on every assignment Tony gives you. Believe me, it will make all the difference in the world and be well worth your time.

Over The Top
Zig Ziglar
Thomas Nelson, Publisher
Available in bookstores

Over The Top is the latest book from Zig Ziglar. It was 14 years ago, at the age of 21, that I was talked into seeing him conduct a seminar on human development. This amazing seminar was the first of its kind I attended and launched my fascination on this subject. Although I have become acquainted with many other speakers and authors, Ziglar remains one of my all-time favorites.

This book is thought provoking and offers easy, pleasurable reading.
