Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1989 | ISBN-10: 0916990222 | ISBN-13: 978-0916990220

All of the material inclded in this book is based on the work of Richard Bandler. Of Richard and his teaching, I am reminded of a passage from the Tao te Ching The sage does not hoard. Having bestowed all he has on othrs, he has yet more. (Translated by C.D. Lau, Penguin, 1969) In Preparing the text, I have drawn extensively on workshop transcripts in which Richard was teaching the concepts and practices of sub-modality usage. Written by Will MacDonald, Seattle

Ever wanted to learn about how change your pictures inside your mind or the sounds of your critical voice?

This review is from: An Insiders Guide to Sub Modalities (Paperback)

Lots of good exercises for people who want to change their pictures, sounds, and feelings with Neuro Linguistic Programming. A very elegant and masterful author, Will MacDonald brings you every step of the way into the heart of the NLP attitude and methodology.

He's focused on the tools on the how to's for people who want to make a distinction in their representational system.

You learn about sub-modality.

You learn about changing history.

You learn how to change a belief.

Will does a wonderful collaboration with Richard Bandler, the co-founder of NLP.

There are transcripts of the sessions between clients and Richard.

Will does a great job of describing what happens and where to find those distinctions.

Must be read while taking a training with Anna Russo at Success Strategies or any number of great Neuro Linguistic Programming Trainers out there.

I'm very lucky to have had a change to learn about NLP from Will 2 years ago.

Must read for the pure practitioner or NLP Trainer wannabe.

5.0 out of 5 stars A *key* NLP book, May 19, 2002

By 

Karl (England, Great Britain) - See all my reviews

This review is from: An Insiders Guide to Sub Modalities (Paperback)

Despite its relatively small size (just 116 pages) this is undoubtedly one of the KEY texts for anyone wanting an in depth understanding of NLP.

Edited by the late, great Will MacDonald, the book includes:

- half a dozen lengthy transcripts of sessions featuring both Will and Richard Bandler
- full instructions for 20 practical exercises
- a seven page core guide that includes questions to ask to elicit a person's submodalities in a given situation (a basic and vital part of modelling) and lists of typical submodality-related phrases.

And all of this is wrapped up in clear and detailed explanations of how to use the material (though you will need prior understanding of installing anchors as that topic is not covered here).

If you want to learn the best of NLP you'll definitely want this book.
