NLP The New Technology of AchievementNovember 22, 2008 I found this work to be a good fit for an initial exploration into the topic of NLP. It was easily outlined, concise and provided me with the basic information I was seeking, at a phenomenally low price. Quite reasonable cost/benefit ratio with this choice.
A good primerOctober 24, 2008 There are better, more comprehensive books and programs available, but for someone who is curious, this is good intro into the subject. I bought this in conjuction with Secrets of the A Game and The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists - all have been helpful.
some fluff but still a good book for beginnersAugust 20, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Even though this book meets my criteria for having `fluff', this is still one great introduction book to NLP. The language is down to earth, the exercises are well explained and the authors give a lot of thoughtful advice to beginners.
Not The Best . . . For AnyoneAugust 2, 2008 4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I do like the author and have heard him on tape and CD before, but this CD set was originally a tape set (we repeatedly hear "on this tape" spoken), and should have been re-done instead of edited.
Some (only some) of the basics of NLP are included here, and if you've ever opened a book or heard a tape about NLP, you probably already know all that's offered on this CD.
Three of us here listened to "NLP," and we all found the constant reference to "tapes" annoying, along with the voices of two people who do a lot of speaking on the second CD. They both sound like they're trying to do cartoon voices, and my husband couldn't stop laughing. Yes, the voices are that distracting.
The author co-wrote a better introduction to NLP years ago, called "Success Mastery With NLP." It's usually available used on tape. Having used NLP since 1976, I really do recommend it as a more useful introduction to the subject.
One of the best books on NLP that includes A LOT of useful exercises.August 1, 2008 This book is great in that it not only explains some of the basics of NLP but it also includes 43 different exercises to do while you are reading the book. Most of these exercises can be done quickly and have been, for me, generally quite effective. These exercises are not easy to find online, so it's nice to have them compiled in one place here. For the price of a paperback it's hardly a question as to whether or not you should buy this book, especially if NLP is something that interests you.
