Good Introduction to NLP

This is a great book for people who want to learn some NLP and test the effectiveness of NLP techniques before immersing themselves deeper. The book is entirely practical - it is loaded with 43 different exercises / experiments you can do to improve different aspects of your life. The book has some essential NLP techniques - such as Swish pattern, Fast Phobia Cure, Creating Reapport, Circle of Excellence, Reframing, some basics related to working with Time-Lines - that everyone can benefit from learning and using. By the time you're done going through the exercises in this book, you're bound to become more empowered and know how to access your inner resources and run your mind and neurology to reach your goals and remove some obstacles from your path.

Great Intro to NLP

This book is a great introduction to the world of Neuro Linguistic Programming, or NLP. It not only includes a primer to bring you up to speed on what NLP is, but explains some of the more advanced techniques and methods of programming. About the only downside of this book is the fact that exercises appear in the middle of most chapters, which tends to cut into the "flow" of reading. Still, the exercises appear in a quite logical sequence, and you get used to it after the first few chapters.Despite its choppy presentation, the book is extremely readable, entertaining and leaves one with a strong understanding of the fundamentls of NLP itself. For those of you who are new to NLP, this is definitely the first book that I would read.

As Near as You'll Come to NLP in a Book

This is one of THE most powerful and effective NLP books to date. It teaches some theory, BUT NLP isn't abot theory, it's about what works - for YOU, as an individual.A key tenet ("presupposition") of NLP is that *nothing* works for *everybody*, and *nothing* works for *anybody* *all* of the time. You have to try things out until you find the exercises and methods that work "for you". And even then you may find that they work better some days than others.After reading quite a few books on NLP, I'd say that this is the nearest thing you'll find to the essence of NLP short of going on a "top notch" training course. Read the book, and DO do the exercises, but only when you're ready to progress your life to a whole new level.For those who are ready for something better - highly recommended.If, on the other hand, you're really not sure if you're ready to step out of your "comfort zone", then stay clear of this book. Once you've read it, you'll never be able to put things back the way they were.

Practical Magic

Of the 20 or so NLP books I've read, this is the clearest that actually takes you through specific steps that get results. If you want more theory, I recommend "Introducing NLP" by O'Connor and Seymour. But if you want experience, this is it.

Great introduction to NLP

This book is a great introduction to NLP. It covers the fundamental principles and techniques in a concise manner. There is no fluff, which is something I appreciated. It can be used by novices to learn the "big picture", and as a refresher by those who are familiar with NLP. There are many exercises, and the step by step instructions are clearly written. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning and experiencing what NLP has to offer.
