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.

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.

The NLP Coach is indeed a practical guide for those interested in moving forward and achieving better results in life. This book is easy to understand and is laid out in a systematic way that makes reading and referencing easy. As a life coach and educator I often recommend The NLP Coach to my clients and students. Ian McDermott and Wendy Jaga take their many years of experience and wrap it into a well thought out book that is both practical and helpful.

In my 20+ years as a Hypnotherapist, I've read quite a lot of books on NLP and by far this is the best "How-to" book that breaks down the NLP component tools into easy to understand and apply bite sized chunks!

The book is very well organized as a reference text as well for all you coaches out there that need a quick brief of some particular aspect of NLP!

I highly recommend this book!

If you want an understanding of what NLP is and does, this is a good book. Buy it. That being said, I find some of the claims of NLP to be rather "bogus." NLP techniques are similar to other cognitive behavioral techniques but NLP has developed its own language. For example, if you are a "big picture to little details" type of learner, NLP refers to this as "chunking down." I use similar techniques as NLP but do not believe in the "instant change results" that some claim NLP can accomplish. Cognitive behavioral therapy is very practical no matter what language you ascribe to it. The book is well-written and well-organized and provides the information it claims to provide. It gives a great overview of NLP and does not read with the same grandiosity that others may ascribe to it.

I found it a bit dreary actually. I do think that the book oversimplifies everything down to a layman level. Buying somethign with NLP in the title I expect a little more detail and process. It rings of the typical self help book but as such it isn't bad. Yeah I'm not too enthusiastic about it am I?
