5.0 out of 5 stars A must for all teachers!, January 29, 2000

This review is from: NLP for Lazy Learning : Superlearning Strategies for Business and Personal Development (Paperback)

This is an excellent book for anyone interested in Teaching and Learning. It is very easy to read as it is free of jargon, yet it tackles up-to- date teaching methodology: learning strategies, left brain, right brain, self 1, self 2, modelling, rewards etc... Lots and lots of food for thoughts. I found it inspirational.

1.0 out of 5 stars Definitely one to avoid, January 24, 2003

By

This review is from: NLP for Lazy Learning: How to Learn Faster and More Efficiently (Paperback)

In one of the most gushing back cover blurbs I've ever come across, an organisation calling itself The International Association of Master Trainers announced, on the original edition, that "We believe Lazy Learning to be the most important work on learning ever produced".
Which certainly puts writers like Michael Grinder (brother of John) the legendary Eric Jensen in their place!

Or maybe the members of the IAMT just don't read very much. Because a "best book" on learning this certainly is NOT.

Indeed, it seems that the author of "Lazy Learning" doesn't read much, either, since she seems to think that the only useful developments in education over the last quarter century are ALL down to NLP. Well, I'd certainly agree that NLP has made some useful contributions, but to write a book on learning which completely ignores developments such as Georgi Lozanov's "Accelerated Learning" and the Michel Thomas method of language teaching is both incomprehensible and inexcusable.

"NLP for Lazy Learning", in a nutshell, is a poorly constructed text, short on genuinely useful information and which seems, quite frequently, to be little more than an excuse for frequent "name dropping" and to allow the author to blow her own trumpet - long and load.

In short, whilst the title shows a certain flair for manipulative language, the book as a whole is probably one of the least substantial additions to the NLP bookshelf.
Definitely one to avoid.
