Resumen del Editor

Imagine. Believe. Achieve.

Many self-help books offer a lot of new age platitudes and sappy mantras: Just love yourself. See the glass as half full. Believe it and it will come.

Really? That’s not how it works, and you know it. A lifetime’s worth of struggle is not overturned in a small moment of positive thinking. But if you have the right attitude—attitude and skills—you can and will accomplish anything and everything you want. This book gives you both, attitude and action. By its end you will have all the tools you need to change your life. No hype. No false promises. You will learn to:

• Cultivate your passion and embrace your uniqueness to create a purpose-filled life . . .on your own terms.

• Transform your suffering into peace, wisdom, and strength.• Work through fear, worry, shame, and negative self-talk to blast through obstacles and create self-confidence, self-esteem, and a healthy self-image.

• Take powerful, informed, deliberate actions to make your dreams a reality.

Forget surviving: it’s your time to thrive. You do have the ability and potential to achieve unlimited health, wealth, and happiness. Getting there won’t all be easy—nothing worthwhile ever is—but take this journey and your life will change dramatically. Your possibilities are unlimited, and your life is waiting for you to break free and claim it

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Unlimited is a very candid and thorough book that aims to help people lead more fulfilling lives." (Chicago Sun-Times)

"Michaels offers a three-pronged approach to changing your trajectory: imagine, believe and achieve. Using examples from her own life, and those from "Biggest Loser" contestants, she shows how to shake off the fears holding you back and embrace the future." (Washington Post Express)

Her Success or Yours?

It seems like this is just another self help the author book, meaning they are using the name to make more money or fame what ever. She tells you go to to her web site, okay fine, I did and to see some things she wants $4 a week. That adds up and after buying this book, why not have a spot just for the book readers? I am not interested in her advice on diet and health, I have that down already, but I agree with her view that it is all connnected.

So far not a bad book but nothing new here. A bit of Robbins, a dash of Larry Winget and a lot of Jillian is what you get. She let you decide how to use her advice and she makes some good points. I guess after working/ reading what ever you want to call it a lot of these types of books there isn't anything new out there.

Nice Job

Nice job by Ms. Michaels. Not a lot knew material but the format and presentation is passionate and refreshing. You can tell the author has read and believes in some of the writings from Napoleon Hill, Denis Waitley, Brian Tracy, etc. Ms. Michaels is a bit more in your face than these authors but if you have seen her on television you would expect nothing less.

Amazing

I've always been a huge Jillian fan and this book is amazing. Incredibly inspiring even more so hearing her herself tell these stories. I'm at a time in my life where I really needed something like this to pull me out of my current rut and get my ass into gear. If your looking for inspiration and motivation in your life listen to this book.

MADE ME SEE THE LIGHT!

What made the experience of listening to Unlimited the most enjoyable?

The experience was realistic and invigorating. Jullian's narration of this book felt like she was right in front of my face and speaking directly to me!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book has so many great parts. It is the wake up call that we all need to hear. I felt like she dusted my brain off, slapped me in the back of the head and said

Any additional comments?

I googled motivational books and Jillian Michaels name came up in the list. Google is definitely on top of things for Jullian. Anyways, I am a Personal Trainer and have always been a fan of hers but never would I think she would have a motivational book! Just like she states in the book, healthy living is so much more than eating right and exercising. I have always felt diet books over looked the physiological part of why these people were overweight in the first place. She hits in nail on the head. She has done her homework and has so much insight into the bigger picture. FINALLY! A trainer that has more brains than muscle.

Very potent!

This was a very direct and concise self-actualization audiobook. She gives lots of great information in every chapter. It was quite incredible. The only negative thing I have to say about it, is that she does blame every 'unfortunate' situation on the person involved in it. Example: Pet insurance is not something most people purchase - as it rarely pays out AND people can get tooth problems and need root canals even if they brush their teeth properly. Not every negative event is brought on by the person themselves.

Awesome!!

I loved this book, actually listened to it twice. Being read by the author is a huge plus for me!

Amazing self help book,

Would you listen to Unlimited again? Why?

Any additional comments?

Jillian has a fantastic way of transmiting the message, very genuine.

Game On

Funny , inspiring, and a street map for success. This goes well beyond tactics for weight loss or health. These are tactics for a great life and necessary for anyone looking to make any change permanent.

Not much new here

What did you like best about Unlimited? What did you like least?

Overall a good effort at combining many different self help philosophies, but nothing we haven't already heard. Contrary to the book's claim. Jillian's delivery was motivational ... although sometimes, the over-punching for emphasis of every 4th or 5th syllable became a little irritating.

True Motivation Without the Fluff

This book really breaks through to the true essence of creating the life you want, instead of living life "Comfortably numb" as Jilian mentions in the book. Her no-nonsense style makes you stop and think about all areas of your life and realize how controlling your thoughts and environment can allow you to make the right choices to get results. I highly recommend listening to this book several times, and referring to individual chapters as neeed. Way to go Jilian! Your message was heard loud and clear
