5.0 out of 5 stars Michael and Bob are the best authors of NLP, April 16, 2006

By	Shlomo Vaknin "Editor, NLP Weekly Magazine" (Prague) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

From the editor of NLPWeekly Magazine:

I've read the "User's manual for the brain" quite a few years ago. I had to save money in order to buy it, but it was worth it.

Now, with the second book, I didn't even think about it, I immediately ordered it when it was published.

Michael Hall and Bob Bodenhamer know what it is like to be clueless about personal excellence, and without risking the quality of their writing, without mixing fluff (like Robbins) or self importance stories (like Bandler), they craft a well written instruction book.

Michael wrote numerous books, and I'm a proud owner of most of them. His writing style is clear, well thought and worthy of every penny you spend on his books.

This book is a must have for both newbies and NLP professionals.

5.0 out of 5 stars The User's Manual I and II cover it ALL!!!, January 27, 2008

By	David "Obayifu" (Norridge, IL United States) - See all my reviews

If you have this book and the vol. I then you've got the least amount of book to cover pretty much the whole spectrum of NLP in it's most up-to-date/most effective form (Meta-States).

I'm a Michael Hall-Bob Bodenhamer disciple because the Meta-States Model Fixes many of the problems with the "'sub'modalities" patterns. The qualities of an thought are on a HIGHER Logical level and NOT lower, hence META-modalities!

Man, with vol. I and II you got all the most common aspects of NLP plus the extended Meta-Model, extended Meta-Programs, Complete Mindlines(Sleight of Mouth) patterns in this one, and chapters about a 'Unified Field' of NLP that ties it all together, to help it all crystallize and make sense.

I think that this should be required reading for every human on the planet. Wow! Just like if everyone had a Phd., the stakes would be raised, Mos definitely!

5.0 out of 5 stars Master Practitioner Textbook, July 5, 2003

By	Ed Borasky "Applied Mathematician" (Beaverton, Oregon USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the long-awaited follow-on to "User's Manual For The Brain", and it is certainly worth the wait! I've had the great fortune to take the Practitioner course based on Volume I and the Master Practitioner course based on Volume II. And now I have the second book!

Dr. Bodenhamer and Dr. Hall have written many books together over the years. This is their best yet. It covers Mind-Lines, Meta-Programs, Meta-States and all of the other models and extensions of NLP that have been incorporated into Neuro-Semantics.
