Publisher's summary

Richard Bandler, co-creator of NLP and the man who inspired Paul McKenna to greatness, collaborates with Alessio Roberti and Owen Fitzpatrick to reveal how to unleash your true potential and transform your life.

Richard Bandler - the world-renowned co-creator of NLP who has helped millions around the world change their lives for the better - has teamed up with Italian NLP Master Trainer Alessio and co-founder of the Irish Institute of NLP Owen, to craft a simple yet engaging story of one man’s personal change and discovery, to help listeners understand the remarkable principles of NLP.

Inspiring and easy to listen to, this fable recreates the experience of being at a workshop with Bandler. Rather than explaining the theories, An Introduction to NLP illustrates the principles and simple techniques that Bandler has developed over the past 35 years in action. This inspirational book gives you the tools to change your life, overcoming the things that are holding you back: your phobias, depression, habits, psychosomatic illnesses, or learning disorders. Through the simple techniques of NLP, you too can become a strong, happy, successful person and achieve your goals.

better than expected.

I was expecting a book of scientific studies, but was delighted that the concepts were delivered in a narrative that was surprisingly entertaining and interesting.
one downfall would be that they should have had a professional voice actor read the book. Fitzpatrick does do a good job, but I get hung up on the accent at times...
Otherwise, great book and information. will listen to it over and over.

Entertaining, simple, comprehensive intro to NLP

I'm not an expert, I had minor previous exposure to NLP from my personal coach (unaware of it!), and reading this concise and fun book I could much better learn and understand some of NLP's concepts and techniques.

meh

book could have been shortened to just the last chapter.The authors did a good job of putting scientific material into a storyline but if you're looking for nuts and bolts what MLP is and how to use it I would look somewhere else. the story got cheesy and drug out.

Hard to follow

The story is told using characters, but there is only one reader who tries to use diffetent voices. That makes ir hard to know who's talking, specilly before you identify the characters and their names.
IF they had just stated the principles of NLP ir would hace been enough.

the way the book was written

the book was written as a story. which helped provide visuals of how nlp can be used, and how it will work. it was masterfully written.
