Synopsis
Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a revolutionary approach to human communication and development based on the discovery that by changing how you think, you can transform what you think. It helps you to modify your thought and behavioural patterns to suit your projected goals. NLP literally "re-programs" your mind and your life - for faster learning, better relationships and greater success. NLP will change your life. It has already helped millions of people overcome fears, increase confidence, enrich relationships and achieve greater success. Now, the NLP Comprehensive Training Team, a team of counsellors, coaches and consultants, draw on years of personal and professional experience to create an effective guidebook to learning and applying this technology to achieve what you want. The reader can learn to: master powerful techniques of persuasion and negotiation; eliminate fears, phobias and low self-esteem in minutes; and learn the success secrets of top achievers.

Every chapter in this step-by-step guide includes exercises to help you master specific NLP techniques, and a new 21-day programme, created especially for this book, provides the essential skills needed to achieve peak performance in business and in life. Charles Faulkner is the author of "NLP: The New Technology of Achievement" and "Success and Mastery with NLP".

Customer Reviews

Good introduction to NLP
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.

Excellent Beginner's handbook
This book is an excellent primer for usage of NLP techniques into your life, work and family. For those people who really do not have the time to invest in NLP courses and would still like to take advantage of what this dynamic field has to offer, this book fulfills that wish by providing you the exercises from the various domains of NLP that you can practise and benefit from. All exercises are given in a simple fashion that you can use minus all the jargon. Even if you are a beginner with NLP this book will help you a lot in grounding you with the fundamentals.

Hard to read and ineffective exercises
With confidence and stress problems, NLP was recommended as a "proven" method of changing how my mind works to give it better focus and improve my self belief. Unfortunately, this book has proved to be a total waste of time and money. Firstly, it is written in a very dry and uninspiring style. Secondly, most of the exercises had no effects whatsoever, despite its cast iron guarantees of success. If NLP does indeed work then I would recommend you look elsewhere for guidance!
