Customer Reviews

Questions are key
I've always felt that asking questions is an important way of helping both ourselves and others achieve our goals and outcomes. This book consists of lots of questions that you can ask to influence and help yourself or others solve problems. A very welcome addition to the field of creative thinking.

Think of a Five Star rating - and Double It
I have to say I was just a bit wary when I read the two reviews below. I'd heard of Peter as a trainer, and everything I'd heard was very positive. But being a good trainer and being a good writer don't always go hand in hand.

But did I 'need' to worry?
NO WAY.
This really is as good as they say.

The subject of this, relatively short, book is the application of NLP skills to the task of problem solving. And one of the first things it shows you is how to discover whether you actually have a problem at all. It has to be worth it's weight in gold for that alone!
What is also impressive is the way it achieves it's purpose so effectively, whilst simultaneously avoiding virtually all of the pesky jargon that far too many NLP books are infected with.

In fact the hardest thing about this book is finding a way to review it without sounding too extravagant.

Here's the truth, as far as I'm concerned:

The writing is great.
It is concise, yet it flows effortlessly. It explains some very useful NLP techniques - and all in plain English. It uses graphics so that they support the text rather than cluttering things up, and it includes some nifty touches of humour.

The content is evidence of the author's own NLP skills. So it not only tells us about the application of NLP, it actually 'demonstrates' NLP. In fact I'd be willing to bet that you'll know more about NLP, and problem solving, at a "do it" level (rather than the "let's think about it" level), after reading "Six Questions" than you will after reading 75% or more of the more recent books on these subjects.

What else can I say?
Buy it, read it, and judge for yourself if I'm right or I'm right.

A must for leaders and managers
Peter is one of those very select band of coaches who can ask a seemingly innocuous question that really gets under the skin of the issue you are addressing. A thoroughgoing practical handbook of tools, Six Questions is refreshingly direct, honest and immensely usable addition to my toolkit. If I could only have one book on making change happen - this would be it.
