As a coach and NLP Master Practitioner and Trainer, I have attended many, many seminars and read literally hundreds of books on NLP. I really though I knew it all and that there was nothing new to be learned that is, until I read Dr Ellerton's book: "Live You Dreams and Let Reality Catch Up."

Dr Ellerton is able in less than 200 pages to capture the essence of NLP. He guides you through the beginnings of NLP, its basic tenants and its use in eliciting positive changes in yourself and others.

Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned veteran of NLP, you must have this book on your bookshelf!

I highly recommend this book: the NLP exercises are laid out in a step by step format, making it a useful reference for NLP practicioners. "Live your Dreams" also provides an excellent overview of NLP for people who are not familiar with it. Throughout the book, questions are asked to stimulate the reader's reflection; this makes the book especially valuable for both individuals and trainers. In fact, I used it as a reference in a recent training I gave to coaches and I certainly plan to use it again!

I had never heard about NLP before reading Dr. Ellerton's book. NLP is a great tool to help you learn more about yourself and others. This is especially helpful if you are in a profession where you work, help or teach people. If you can understand yourself and how you think, then you are better able to understand others and help them be successful. This book gives you the tools you need to be successful in life and business, become more conscious of your thoughts and actions and how they affect you and those around you, improve the most important business tool there is, which is communication and help you to break patterns in your life that you may not even be aware of! If you want to get the most out of life and help others do the same, this is the book for you. A must read for anyone who wants to transform their life.

I have read this book several times and each time I learn even more from it. Roger has accomplished the difficult task of creating a book on NLP that has significant depth, but can be read by a broad audience. The book is well balanced with respects to the base content, specific examples, and visual material. He has a very easy to read writing style which guides you through the entire book. A perfect read for all levels of people interested in both personal development and/or psychology.

Ellerton is Brilliant, Concise, Precise, Lucid, and Comprehensive. This is an in-depth explanation of, journey through, and discovery of NLP in its most clear and most comprehensively engaging representation. By far the most comprehensive and thorough and easy-to-understand book on NLP. I'm still reading it (plan to read it cover to cover) and will constantly use it for reference.

I am about half way through this book. I have had a fair amount of training and have done a lot of research on NLP and this is by far the best book I have got my hands on. The book jumps right in and actualy utilizes NLP techniques to reach the reading audience. I am a professional life coach and this type of reading is typically dull research. I found I could put this book down and i started watching everyone around me and practicing on my wife and children. This is a must for anyone who wants more out of their career, relationships, life in general.

As the title says, this book is for coaches, managers and YOU! There are a lot of books out now on NLP and a lot of people talking about it. Roger Ellerton lives it. Oftentimes I've found that people talk about NLP but don't give action steps to put it in practice. This is what this book does with exercises and examples. This book is good for anyone who would like to improve communication with others yet also, good for improving communication with oneself.

Pick it up, read it, use it; read it again. It's worth the time and effort.

I have recommended this book to friends who would like to understand the subtleties of reading people. It is a good starting point for people wanting to know how best to approach individuals.

The best NLP book I have ever read. I have 3 or 4 other NLP books and this one "Live Your Dreams and Let Reality Catch Up" is by far the best! I love the way the author invites you to do the exercises in your everyday life. This book is life changing!!!

This is my introduction into NLP, which I had heard of but knew nothing about. (Things you know you don't know). I have yet to finish the book but thus far I am impressed with the overview and the detail involved in the human character. This is part communications, part psychology, part New Thought. It details how people think, what their "tells" are as to how they think and allows you to make more impactful interaction with those around you. And again, I'm only half way through, but still I feel compelled to subit this review. Very interesting stuff!
