Book Reviews of NLP: The New Technology of Achievement
Book Review: A balanced and refined book
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book wanting an introduction to NLP and I received more than I asked for. Not only is it an excellent introduction to the history and concepts of NLP, but it is filled with excercises. You can get as hands-on as you want to with this book, choosing only to read it or to do the excercises once or many times. In fact, for true NLPers I'm sure these excercises become second nature. Also, I feel that the authors have done a lot of experimenting with each technique and have done a good job diluting what works. What is refreshing to me is that some religions use some of these techniques and NLP separates their techniques from religion. In fact, you can go ahead and apply it to whatever you're doing. This book has inspired me to make some changes in my life and has gotten me interested again in things that had become dormant.Book Review: Good Introduction to NLP
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Book Review: Great Intro to NLP
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Book Review: Worth the time
Summary: 5 Stars
So many "self-help" books out there are skimmed through and read cover-to-cover only to be later seen as a disappointment when the book "didn't work for [the reader]."
This book requires time. The exercises are meant to be tried over and over until one can do them efficiently and effectively.
I have not finished reading and USING this book yet because I am taking the time to apply the principles and methods because I feel it is very worth my time. I dwell on what I feel is important and work on the exercises for about a week before moving on to the next section. It's worth the time if you're serious about making a difference in your life and those around you - all for the best.
Good luck on your NLPing!
Book Review: Good introduction
Summary: 5 Stars
I agree with one reviewer's comments on the "clinical" writing style of the book. There's a somewhat impersonal, managemential voice to the book, and the constant, dogmatic "NLP is the answer to everything" tone ingratiates at times.But, once you get past the style, this is a great introduction to NLP. The ideas are clearly, concisely explained and laid out in an organized fashion with plenty of headings. Like a textbook, there are 43 meaningful exercises here that lead you through all the concepts presented. I looked over quite a few NLP books before this one. This is simply the most practical, organized, learnable really, intro to NLP I've seen. Hopefully, a more personal version can be written someday.
