5.0 out of 5 stars The most generative topic in NLP..., November 29, 2000

By A Customer

I ordered this book last year and have read it many times over. Robert succeeds in s-p-e-l-l-i-n-g out not only how to model, but how to detect patterns and replicate them. Patterns both cognitive and/or physical. He provides a framework upon which to organize all of your resources (NLP and otherwise) to get exactly what you want. What if you looked at the world in a way that everything around you was yours for the *learning* such as things which we label as 'talents', 'athletic skill', or even 'IQ'? What if everyone is truly an example of excellence, and you had the key to replicate that excellence?

I recently went to Rex Sikes' outstanding Master Prac / Modelling Seminar. This book is a welcome addition to the material presented by Rex. For those who haven't signed up for his seminar yet, this is the best book on modelling I've found.

Through modelling, the world is your oyster.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Heart of NLP, April 11, 2000

By	George Zee (www.frzee.org, Hong Kong) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) began with the modeling of the language patterns of three outstanding therapists by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. Since 1975 Robert Dilts has been one of the most fertile minds in consistently applying and creatively developing NLP. He has the rare gift in collaborating and co-creating with so many talented people in workshops and projects (to many of these he dedicates the present book). He is also able to model people in history through writings and biographies. His vision, productivity and leadership abilities have enriched NLP immensely and benefited humankind. The whole NLP community worldwide owes a great debt to him. This book is an excellent example of how Robert continues to be of service to anyone who wants to learn and use NLP. Here he has put together what many of us have been learning through his workshops in the past two decades, the key components of modeling. For those who have some background in NLP, it is helpful to master this book first. This is the first comprehensive account of the NLP modeling process. Other books only give piece-meal strategies. Once we grasp the whole view, if we go on to his previous books and reports on various modeling projects, we would have a much better sense of the kind of processes which are being applied. Tools for Dreamers, the 3 volumes of Strategies of Genius, Dynamic Learning, Skills for the Future, Visionary Leadership Skills will all help to concretise our assimilation of the modeling process--the heart of NLP.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Really About NLP, January 5, 2007

By	D. Anderson - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Chapters 1-4 seem to be restating a few basics of NLP in an unneccesarily complex and pointless sort of way. But once we reach chapter 5 NLP goes "out the window". Unfortunately, the following chapters are about leadership skills, problem solving, delegation, and trainiing on the job. These are all fine topics, but they're not really what I paid for nor are they addressed from an NLP perspective.

Basically, this book is unnecessarily complex and does a poor job of elucidating the finer points of NLP Modeling. I assumed it would expand on the basics of NLP and delve into the specifics of Modeling, but it doesn't. And to add insult to injury this book cost me $30.. and it's a paperback! Save your money.
