For those who already have some knowledge of NLP, Accelerated Learning and brain research - this book will enable them to firmly lock theory with practice. It covers models of learning and personality factors that build into a comprehensive account of essential skills to redirect inappropriate behaviours. For newcomer the practical ideas alone make this a recommendable book.

A core text, totally comprehensive, excellent value Mahony s would be my first and main text I would use in initial teacher training. His versatility and warmth creates a very easy to follow book. Practical and caring. Mahony is gifted in the way he provides exercises throughout explaining how to use NLP for classroom learning. Knowing what I know now, this book would have saved me considerable time and money regarding teaching and learning. Top Marks Mahony!
