3.0 out of 5 stars Good and useful book, December 14, 2005

This review is from: The NLP Coach: A Comprehensive Guide to Personal Well-Being & Professional Success (Paperback)

Since `our habits determine our future' a lot of self-help revolves around changing our habits (not so easily done.) I like this particular book because it doesn't present NLP as an easy fix but instead they take quite a bit of space to explain how we think and act in habits and patterns. The authors then offer NLP techniques to help change your patterns until you develop new habits. As in all self-help there's not really much new here and anyone who has read Tony Robbins will be familiar with most of the concepts presented. It's a good book, though, and very useful for understanding the development of habits and cycles. I recommend it as a more objective presentation of NLP without all the fire walking hoopla.

This review is from: The NLP Coach: A Comprehensive Guide to Personal Well-Being & Professional Success (Paperback)

As a vivid reader and a practioner of NLP I enjoyed reading this book. Not only is it a great step-by-step guide through many aspects of NLP, but it also works with you in evaluating your own life as you learn.

The book is easy and pleasant to read and Ian McDermott truly is among the best reads on the topic of NLP and coaching using NLP.

As an NLP coach I would highly recommend this book to people that are both starting out in personal development and in NLP. Very informative and triggers you to think about things from a new perspective using techniques as you are learning about them.

If you had to buy one book on NLP and coaching, this is it!!!

After reading it, I felt like I had just been revived from a coma! This book should be read and reread so as to get the full impact. Afterwards, reflections and a reframing of your life's experiences most assuredly will result.
