The Epitome of `Usefulness'

This little book is the epitome of usefulness, to borrow one of the author's ideas. I can think of no higher praise. Artfully woven into a charming `story' are very powerful and essential skills for those with both the desire and courage to build their own lives and to chart their own courses. Something is what it does. Yes, indeed, Mr. Zink. I am in your debt. It is only the rare find that I recommend, only the rarest of which I buy extra copies of in order to give as gifts. This is one of those `finds' given as a gift as occasion warrants.

A tapesty of self discovery that is always on my nightstand.

Nelson Zink has put together a wonderfully winding roadmap for self discovery. I find myself returning to each one of the masterfully written stories at different times in my life to regain perspective. A perfect book for anyone who believes in defining themselves or gaining understanding of others without textbook labels.

Stories within stories for CHANGE!

I had the good fortune to hear some of Nelson's stories even before this fine little book was published the first time. With nary an explicit mention of "NLP" this book demonstrates many aspects of NLP in a particularly inviting way that lets folks experience positive change now. And besides that, there's lots of darn good stories!

Great review and/or introduction to basics of NLP and life

Utilizing stories within stories, Zink spins an interesting (although at times hackneyed) tale of personal growth. A great way to package many different techniques in a lively format. Definitely a nice reprieve from "technique textbooks" and "seminar transcripts" that seem so common in the world of NLP. I found myself highlighting many useful quotes and stories, and have recommended the book to several close friends and associates. It's on my list of books to reread every so often.
