There have been many books in the past that have covered either NLP as a whole or concentrated on specific parts of it; there are also many books that incorporate Ken Wilber's Integral AQAL model. This book is the first to combine the two and thus show NLP in a far more holistic and all-encompassing way than before.

The book is very easy to read and, as one would expect from an NLP Master Trainer, is written in such a style that it appeals to both auditiry and visual readers. As you read the book it almost appears as if the author was there speaking to you, which when coupled with excellent diagrams and loads of anecdotes and stories makes this one of the best introductory reads for both NLP and Wilber.

I really enjoyed this book for many reasons. It is so wonderfully easy to read despite the complex subjects it covers. Peter McNab has a delightful way of writing so that it comes across so naturally - interspersed continually with interesting stories, anecdotes and examples in order to make the material clear to understand. It contains many practical exercises for the reader to do, which brings the content alive and renders it useful and valuable. I will dip into this book over and over again and definitely use its suggestions throughout my life.
An invaluable book for anyone wishing to journey inside of themselves in order to help to create a nicer world.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

An amazingly easy to read and understand book about NLP, Ken Wilbers quadrants and Clare Graves Values Model. Combining all the above into a very readable and enjoyable format. A must for both advanced NLP'ers and complete beginners alike.

First I have to say the editing job really detracted from my experience of the book. there are words that are missing and words that are wrong in many places, so that was frustrating. Besides that I found the book lucid in many places toward the end, where it begins to get to the real meat and potatoes of NLP Spiral Dynamics and some Integral theory. I felt like i had to wade through a lot of reading to get to some key points and their elucidations, however they are in there.

Don't take this lightly - THIS BOOK IS AMAZING. I read it back to front in two days just marvelling at the integrally-informed genius of Peter McNab.

I haven't come across too many books on Integral Theory or Graves' SD model that are this accessible. Correspondingly, I haven't some across too many NLP books that cover this level of all quadrant depth.

Peter's style is chatty but not facile, and thorough but not sleepy. I was so drawn to his first person writing style, and the hands-on nature of his work.

It's a real joy.

Peter McNab has written a inspiring and thought provoking book which takes most of the latest thinking from the NLP movement and elegantly integrates it with Wilbers philosophies. This creativity supplies the reader with pragmatic tools to analyse life situations and develop real actions. An excellent balance of academic thought and practical methods to improve any 'self-developers' life or as an aid to therapists in the field.
