Customer Reviews

I'll try to be polite
This book is ABOUT NLP - it Does Not teach you to use it.

The first 50 pages are basically the history of nlp - with details of who attended what meetings - excuse a moment, yawn

Next we have a myriad of situations and examples that is vague and varied, not being detailed enough in any area to be considered a help - if you actually want to use nlp yourself.

As far as I Know, there are practical skills to be learnt using NLP, so I will be seeking them in another book, as should you.

A basic introduction/background to NLP
You need to bear in mind that the title of this book is "NLP Made Easy" and not expect any great depth in knowledge. The author is clear that in certain areas it is not appropriate to go into to much detail on particular NLP techniques as they should be learnt in a supervised environment. The book gives an interesting insight into the history and ideas of NLP, but nothing more than this. A good book if you want some background reading and basic concepts. I felt it is well written and concise.

Good introduction to NLP
This book's title does describe it well. A lot of people are put off NLP because the first book they pick up is pretty impenetrable. NLP Made Easy, however, gives a simple introduction of the concepts involved and helps you understand the basics. It then recommends other books that go into more depth. If you know nothing about NLP but are interested in it then I'd recommend you read this book first.
