Review with Caution

If you want an understanding of what NLP is and does, this is a good book. Buy it. That being said, I find some of the claims of NLP to be rather "bogus." NLP techniques are similar to other cognitive behavioral techniques but NLP has developed its own language. For example, if you are a "big picture to little details" type of learner, NLP refers to this as "chunking down." I use similar techniques as NLP but do not believe in the "instant change results" that some claim NLP can accomplish. Cognitive behavioral therapy is very practical no matter what language you ascribe to it. The book is well-written and well-organized and provides the information it claims to provide. It gives a great overview of NLP and does not read with the same grandiosity that others may ascribe to it.

Hard to put down and one of the best books on NLP!

In my 20+ years as a Hypnotherapist, I've read quite a lot of books on NLP and by far this is the best "How-to" book that breaks down the NLP component tools into easy to understand and apply bite sized chunks! The book is very well organized as a reference text as well for all you coaches out there that need a quick brief of some particular aspect of NLP! I highly recommend this book! :D Mike - C.Ht

Practical Guide

The NLP Coach is indeed a practical guide for those interested in moving forward and achieving better results in life. This book is easy to understand and is laid out in a systematic way that makes reading and referencing easy. As a life coach and educator I often recommend The NLP Coach to my clients and students. Ian McDermott and Wendy Jaga take their many years of experience and wrap it into a well thought out book that is both practical and helpful.

A great book, no matter what your level is.

As a vivid reader and a practioner of NLP I enjoyed reading this book. Not only is it a great step-by-step guide through many aspects of NLP, but it also works with you in evaluating your own life as you learn. The book is easy and pleasant to read and Ian McDermott truly is among the best reads on the topic of NLP and coaching using NLP. As an NLP coach I would highly recommend this book to people that are both starting out in personal development and in NLP. Very informative and triggers you to think about things from a new perspective using techniques as you are learning about them.

Powerful! Accurate! Right on the money!

If you had to buy one book on NLP and coaching, this is it!!! After reading it, I felt like I had just been revived from a coma! This book should be read and reread so as to get the full impact. Afterwards, reflections and a reframing of your life's experiences most assuredly will result.
