Review # 1 was written on 2008-11-23 00:00:00 Alessandro De Luca If you are looking for a book to solve all your problems, this is it! Really. I recently developed a fascination for NLP after discussing it with someone at a party. I had known about Neuro-linguistic Programming for about 10 years but I didn't pay much attention until now. I discovered that my understanding of NLP was mostly wrong and it suddenly became a new hope for me to perhaps overcome problems I've been struggling with for years. There are all sorts on books of NLP but this one jumped out at me. Not only is it written by Richard Bandler, the renowned co-founder of NLP, but it is also brand new and presents a culmination of NLP techniques. It focuses on self transformation, putting an end once and for all to bad habits and creating lasting change. It not only works for all the little things in life, but also offers ways to cure phobias, fears and compulsions and provides practical tools for day to day life. And surprisingly, it really does work. I cannot give this book enough praise. Bandler's approach is incredibly insightful, wise and seasoned with decades of successful application. At first I felt a little silly doing the exercises and found some resistance or mental blocks to it, but I earnestly wanted to change some aspects of myself and stuck with it. And it has paid off! It has helped me in ways that no other rational thinking, book, or psychologist has been able to. Though probably the most important thing I have learned from this book is to use imagination and thinking more creatively to solve problems. It has put me back in control of my thoughts, feelings and future!

Review # 2 was written on 2017-07-21 00:00:00 Brian Harpster I wanna give it 4.5 stars. It's a quick read. At an average reading speed of 20~30. pages per day, you can finish it within a week. Given the fact that Dr. Bandler as the co-founder of NLP, he's pretty good at summing up NLP for lay readers. I've read through other books on NLP but many are either too theoretical or too anecdotal. The content of the book is just right, i.e. enough anecdotes, enough principles, enough techniques, and enough examples. You'll be compelled to practice immediately for each chapter that you've gone through. NLP, in my humble opinion, is a modern brand of meditation. It's a blend of mindfulness and directed visualization. And of course, like other forms of meditation, one can only benefit from it by practicing in a regular basis. P/S: Minus 0.5 star for some of author's bragging tone in writing. He doesn't have to mention several times about his decades of experience in the field because we know he's the co-founder of NLP.
