I was getting reference info for this book when I noticed someone gave it a bad review. Who are you? And what's wrong? (Ironic question, I know.) This is an excellent book-the books not magical, it's not a medicine to "work" or not. It's a wonderful framework for understanding human interaction in a completely different light then the everyday one we grow up with. Great tools. Interesting exercises. A well-sized book and not a single extra word! I suggest this for anyone interested in NLP and wants to learn the models.

This book will enable the reader to study the basic principles found in most NLP introductory courses. The information is easily understood and accessible.

Though some of the material is useful, I found these tapes to be long and boring. The authors read the text like a funeral procession. I would much rather recommend any of Anthony Robbins work - which always has some NLP, presented in a passionate, immediately useful way.

For beginners, it's a good resource. Combine with Kenricks work and you have a winner

This is a reveiw of basic strategies for behavioral pattern changes ,well worth investigating,if you are interesred in rapid transformation in behaviors.

How do people communicate? When I say I'm "frustrated" - in a particular context, HOW do YOU understand the exact shading of the word? Of course, you understand (if not colorblind) when I say "Robin's Egg Blue". So what do I mean when I say, "I'm feeling satisified"?

How do we learn from birth to use WORDS to express THOUGHTS?

Remember when drunken Aunt Mary once embarassed you at a family gathering (which you've avoided all your life now...), stating you were always destined to be fat like your mother? Are you fat, or still fearful of it today?

How about when Freddy, in the 2nd grade, made some stupid but biting remark about you that even today you remember vividly and you STILL hate dodgeball?

What is the power of words, indirect and direct, that affect us, years afterwards? And what about the power of the words we choose today? Can they make us healthier, more attractive, happier? Can we really find that good mate, if we undertsand ourselves first?

It's science, you know. And you can easily understand it, and understand what you need to do to improve your communications and your relationships. This tape set is priceless...absolutely invaluable. It's suitable for all groups - all ages. Share it with your lover, your friends, your family.

This book is so powerful, I gave separate copies to my children and my spouse. I've gifted several friends as well.

My advice: Read SLOWLY. Savor each sentence. Work through the simple exercises in the book. Take your time and let this book come in it's own time, perhaps over a period of weeks. I read as few as 2 or 3 pararaphs a day, and it was very powerful. Somehow I KNEW what was here...but no one had ever put it in such clearly defined terms.
