Tom Hopper describes reading Awaken the Giant Within and applying its strategies—particularly around taking massive action and iterating until something works—to his approach to acting, goal-setting, and his work with his wife's production company. He had previously cited it on a podcast called Books That Changed My Life, calling it genuinely life-changing for the way he pursues his goals.
Longevity, Actually (with Brian Koppelman)
Brian Koppelman describes reading Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins and working through its exercises during a painful creative block early in his career. He says the exercises helped him reach the mental clarity that he had to make a change, though he needed a further push—his friend's suggestion of The Artist's Way—to actually break through.
