- Still going?
Does anyone outside of the world of dodgy management training scenarios take NLP seriously anymore?

- read the title... it is quite clear who this book is aimed at
This book has been harshly reviewed by people who have knowledge of NLP: "don't read this book if you know anything about NLP" is apparently the take home message. Fine. But that is kind of like telling a rocket scientist not to bother reading a pre-school chemistry book!

For those who no nothing about NLP, i.e. the intended demographic, this is a great book with plenty of examples relating the theory to real life. Sure, it isn't advanced NLP but you can't run before you can walk.

I am a complete beginner and this book captured my imagination and made me think more analytically about my actions, thoughts and communication skills. My advice is go to a book store and read a chapter or two before making your mind ... Read More:

- The Pits
Have you ever run into the sort of person who talks about things they know nothing about, but talks on and on and on, apparently in the hope that if they keep talking for long enough then the law of averages means they must get at least one thing right?

That's what I felt I was up against when I was reading this book.

Firstly, it is badly laid out, by which I mean that it has no obvious flow other than (I guess) the order in which things popped into the authors' heads.

Secondly, a significant amount of the material has little or nothing to do with NLP - like the "Wheel of Life" and the stuff on PTSD - and quite a lot the material, whether about NLP or not, is at best ambiguous and at worst plain inaccurate. ... Read More:

- Good outweighs bad
Positives: This is a very good introduction to NLP and i doubt you'll get a better one for this price seeing as "From Frogs to Princes" by Bandler (Founder of NLP) is £50. It gives you a good overview to allow you to read other NLP books such as "Structure of Magic" (which is what i recommend you do after finishing this). The book's layout is very accessible with very good use of diagrams and tables (which you wont really get with Bandler's stuff).

Negatives: This books is very much crowded with (to be frank) total rubbish. I'm sure other reviewers have mentioned the whole "pyramids" in your mind palava. This is also written more as a "self-help" book than an actual book about NLP. I think that's the most annoying thing about it, if ... Read More:

- Diluted Distorted and too generalized
In my opinion this book is a bit reductionist- It tries to boil NLP down to lots of techniques and buzzwords but sometimes misses the big picture.

I was confused in some places and occasionally could not understand what point the authors were trying to make.

My biggest problem is the lack of credit for the creators of NLP Dr Richard Bandler and John Grinder. By this I mean they have not mentioned either of these people in the acknowledgments, nor have they mentioned the Society of NLP in the resource list, which should (in my opinion) be the first point of contact for people to ensure they are getting as close as possible to the original product.

At a minimum I think this is a bit rude or perhaps naive, which is ... Read More:
