If you are one of the millions of people who have already discovered the power of NLP, Neuro-linguistic Programming Workbook For Dummies will allow you to perfect its lessons on how to think more positively and communicate more effectively with others.
The Dummies books are designed to be dipped into at random, but I found the lack of an overarching structure and repetition frustrating. Based on the book, it seems that there isn't a single unifying concept, but a selection on unrelated tools. The analogy of a toolbox used in one chapter seems apt. Some of the concepts and ideas will, I'm sure, prove useful, but to grasp NLP I think a more coherent book will be needed.
Apr 24, Ron Davis rated it it was ok. An OK introduction to the topic. More therapeutic and personal development or communication oriented.

I'd been very unsure about getting into NLP but as a coach it presented as another tool in the kit so I decided to give it a go. In the early chapters there's a lot of content that really resonated and I found myself rhapsoding to long-suffering husband on our lockdown walks.
I latched on to anchoring and threw an exercise, untested, into a coaching session, where it kinda sunk There are some great tips for presenting and building rapport, but there were also part My first 'for dummies' read. There are some great tips for presenting and building rapport, but there were also parts that were too much of a stretch for me such as modalities. After the first half it became a bit of a slog.
There are some nice anecdotes and illustrations but a lot also seemed like common sense to anyone with vague coaching training.
Overall not a bad read, but I would that there were something shorter! I didn't know anything about NLP before I read the book, so I can't say whether or not this is truly introduces the topic properly.
What I can say is that this is a well-written overview of many of NLP topics. It is filled with small stories and examples that have me convinced that Ready and Burton know their topic. After reading the book, I feel like I do know enough about NLP to do something with it and I have enough background to find out new books should I want to go further with the topic.
And I guess that's exactly what the goal of this book is. This book is a good introduction to the concept and practice of neuro-linguistic programming. It is a version that is made for "dummies" like me. Romila Ready started by defining what NLP is, and how it helps a person in daily life. I like concepts like 'clean language' that she introduced in the second half of the book. The overall 'Dummies' structure of clearly highlighting anecdotes, giving jargon alerts, highlighting warnings etc.
There are some good concepts and material in the bo This book is a good introduction to the concept and practice of neuro-linguistic programming. There are some good concepts and material in the book, but there is also a lot of verbiage. At the end, I was just glad that the book was coming to an end!
Apr 11, James Johnson rated it it was amazing. There are several editions of this book out there, including an audio book. Forget the rest, this one by Romilla Ready is the one to get.
This will open up the world of Neuro Linguistic Programming and isn't one of those books aimed at just "dominating at work" or other nonsense. If you are serious about understanding the inner workings of the human mind, try this edition out. May 29, Kyle R rated it really liked it. This book was my introduction to NLP.
Definitely one of those subjects that you could either dismiss or look into and see what comes out of it. Clearly, he did much more than just that. A friend might explain that she performed poorly on her last test and that, therefore, she feels like a complete failure in general. This is obviously a rather wild extrapolation.
Distortion means misinterpreting events around you. Your boss was probably just preoccupied. And a good way to clarify the descriptions of others is by asking the right questions. Regarding deletion, get your coworker to be more specific by asking what else he did during the weekend and with whom.
With the tools of neuro-linguistic programming, we can get closer to having effective, meaningful discussions. Neuro-linguistic programming is all about the way we experience life and the world around us. With the right awareness and the proper tools we can make real progress in understanding what sets us apart and what unites us.
Now, perhaps more than ever, we need to work at understanding each other and having productive discussions. In trying to establish rapport, you might benefit from the tools of good storytelling. People react differently to stories than they do to standard arguments. For instance, to get employees motivated, you could share a story of how your business began in a tiny dorm room and the battles you fought to grow it. This is the kind of tale that employees can connect with and be inspired by.
