Great book about the author's self-improvement journey
In "Thank You, Tony Robbins!" Manny Ibay describes his experiences with Tony Robbins' self-improvement programs. I am someone who has been a skeptic about Robbins, but I finished Ibay's book with a completely different view. Through an engrossing, first-person account of his personal struggles, Ibay persuades you that self-help programs like Robbins' really work.

Ibay's honesty is what makes this book so good; he tells of beginning his use of Tony Robbins' tapes while Ibay was working at a job he hated, driving 150 miles a day around Los Angeles trying to persuade people to change their long distance plans. He borrowed the tapes from a friend (he couldn't afford to buy them himself) and listened to them as he drove. Ibay describes the gradual improvements he made in his life, which started by clarifying his goals and changing his way of thinking about his life, by using the Tony Robbins "Power Questions."

Ibay admits that he continued to bounce from job to job for a while --- even giving us a list of them all --- but he was careful to focus on the positive. Ibay ultimately decides to go to law school, and used the Tony Robbins program to continue to push himself to higher levels in his law practice.

This is an excellent book, unusually frank and personal for this "genre" of book. What I enjoyed most about it was reading excerpts from Ibay's "success journals" and reading his descriptions of his struggles to move from one level to the next. It's inspiring to read someone start from the bottom and push themselves to higher levels with relentless positive thinking, discipline and creativity. This book is very much in the tradition of "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin" (a book Ibay mentions as one of his inspirations).

In short: Thank you, Manny Ibay!

Outstanding!!!!
Absolutely undeniably a must read if you think you "can't" do it.

Interesting but a bit flat...
Manny tells his story about how Tony Robbins helped him change his life.
I was expecting more out of this book and bought it out of curiosity.
There really isn't much meat in it.
