In his book, Anthony Robbins presents his basic theory of the power of attitude and individual thought. The theory that states that the essential problem of people is not in the circumstances that they live with, but in the vital attitude which they assume.

The quest for success is to know exactly what one aspires to achieve and then moving on with the action plan that allows that desire to be fulfilled.
