Customer Reviews

Very comprehensive explanation of NLP techniques.

I found this book to be one of the most comprehensive books on NLP that I have read. It explains all of the key techniques in a very understandable way. If you use the NLP exercises presented in this book, you can quickly end bad habits, attain great levels of self-confidence, and change your life for the better. You owe it to yourself to get this book - or ANY book on NLP - and improve your life! Don't listen to the ignorant people who think that NLP is about using mind-control to take advantage of other people. It's exactly the opposite - it's about taking control of your own mind and learning how to believe in yourself.

You really can change OVER NIGHT!

I had heard about NLP and that people were able to use it to instantly get rid of phobias, to stop bad habits, and to achieve business success. I bought this book to help me improve some habits at work. And so far it IS helping. I'm on Chapter 10, and so far have reduced my procrastinating significantly (by about 3/4 - meaning, what I used to procrastinate an hour on, I'm not spending more than 15 minutes avoiding now). Also, I have used some NLP processes to overcome my sales fear of "cold calling" - now I actually look forward to it! If you're looking to change your thinking so that you can change the results you get in life, this book can help. Now you'll have to be willing to change, and have to be willing to do the work. The book provides details of how to do different exercises. But because each person is different, the way the exercise ends up being completed, and the results that each person gets, will vary from person to person. If you want to explore NLP without having to pay an NLP practitioner for an office visit, this is a great place to start. I'm not knocking NLP practitioners - just saying that this is an economical way to explore NLP before booking the appointment or as an alternative for someone on a budget that will not allow an office/phone appointment.

Concise

This is the most concise and straightforward books on NLP. Nothing really new to the science/art. Yet as a person who has studied NLP from other authors for years I never had as quiet a clear understanding of this basic premises until after I read this book. Recommended for both the beginner and the intermediate student of NLP.

Best NLP Book i have read

I have read about 5 NLP books, this is the best one. Goes into good detail and explanation about why techniques work or dont work. When and how to use them. What to expect etc etc. Covers most of the NLP content you would ever want to know. If you just purchased this book and applied the exercises at the end of each chapter, you life would be absolutely amazing, heavenly. I have cant wait to start applying the info. Read it once about to read again and start applying. Great book, highly recommend. If someone has anything negative to say about this book then it means they have not yet grasped the topic of NLP. Well done Steve.

Best intro I've found

I am certified in all levels of NLP including as a trainer (by Wyatt Woodsmall, one of the best teachers in the field). I teach a 110 hour course on the Practitioner level. My library of NLP material is quite large. There are many books on the subject. This, which I recently came across, is probably the best introduction for a beginner. It will give you the nuts and bolts, the basic concepts, in a way which will permit you to go in any direction you wish. There are many approaches to NLP out there. This is the most neutral one that I know of.
