Customer Reviews

A big improvement over most NLP books.

Most NLP books are unreadable.NLP is supposed to be about the study of excellent human performance, and how to model it. However, most NLP books get caught up in issues like hypnosis and therapy, and are written like psychiatric textbooks: bore, snore.Most NLP "poobahs" thumb their nose at Anthony Robbins; let's face it, his works are popular because they're about self-improvement and are east to read. This book by John Emerick is along the same vein, but with more specific how-tos, and less cheerleading, than the Tony Robbins books.Rather than spend hundreds of dollars on NLP and NLP-related books looking for a guide for specific self-improvement, buy this one.

EXCELLENT! INFORMATIVE AND ENJOYABLE!

In a sea of self-help books, here is one that really delivers on its claims to make a difference in your life. I found the exercises meaningful and relavent to real-life situations and actually enjoyed performing them. Mr. Emerick is able to present his vast knowledge of NLP in a manner that is both informative and entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

A book well worth reading

Anyone interested in self-help, should do themselves a favour and read this book as soon as possible.

Fantastic !!!!!

This is an excellent read for anyone wishing to improve the quality of their communications and hence, their life in general. I liked the easy to read format. Hard to put down.

Be the person you want to be

Be the person you want to be by John J. Emerick is a fantastic book about getting congruent with yourself and other people you deal with. I like the test near the front of the book. It gave me an opportunity to really take a good look at myself and for me to decide if I am in fact, the person I want to be. It is a great book because it is easy to read, understand and apply. I've recommended the book to several friends who had very little knowledge about NLP. The feedback I have received is very good, and they all have said they understand the principles and could instantly apply the methods to their lives. I think the book is stimulating, I am a certified trainer of NLP, and even the most advanced of NLP practitioners or trainers can get much value from the book. I was never bored with it and often times had a hard time putting it down. It's one of those books I'll be reading again and certainly recommed it to anyone who has an intrest in bettering their life.
