Robbins has written three best-selling books: Unlimited Power, Awaken the Giant Within, and Money: Master the Game.

Unlimited Power, published in 1986, discusses the topics of health and energy, overcoming fears, persuasive communication, and enhancing relationships.  In the book, Robbins argues that by using neuro-linguistic programming "anyone can become successful at almost anything."  According to Magill Book Reviews, Robbins develops "a systematic framework for directing our own brain." 

Awaken the Giant Within, published in 1991, according to The New York Times, the book contains "ways to take control of your emotional, physical and financial destiny."  In 1994, Robbins published Giant Steps, a daily instructional book, in a pocket size. His' third best-seller, Money: Master the Game, was published in 2014 and reached number one on the New York Times' "Advice, How-To, & Miscellaneous" bestseller list in December 2014.  The book contains information stemming from his interviews with over 50 financial experts. According to Forbes Magazine, the book's target audience is both beginning and experienced investors. Forbes wrote on his blog, "Remarkably, Robbins has produced a book that will appeal to both the beginner and the most sophisticated money jockey overseeing multibillions of dollars in assets."

In 1991, Robbins founded the Anthony Robbins Foundation, a charity dedicated to empowering individuals and organizations.  According to the foundation, it has products and programs in more than 2,000 schools, 700 prisons, and 100,000 health and human service organizations.  Independent charity watchdog Charity Navigator gives the Anthony Robbins Foundation a rating of four out of four stars. 

One of his foundation's programs is the International Basket Brigade, in which groups of volunteers across the world assemble and deliver baskets of food and household items to needy families.  The International Basket Brigade gives baskets of food and household items to about two million people each year. 

In 2014, he partnered with Feeding America for the 100 Millions Meals Challenge, by donating the profits of his book, Money: Master the Game, along with an additional personal donation to feed 50 million needy people. He also invited the public to match his 50 million meals.
