mental images

I finally understood what a belief is, how they are created and how to change them.
I began to use the practices in this book to change the mental image and voice that is my mind, to back my actions.
since listening to this book attentively, I became a more social person my understanding my old thought patterns and changing my state.

THE BEST !!!

An Amazing book, audio is great as well, read by Tom. It is a blessing that the authors are so passionate about a Metaphysical practice, that beautifully explains how "MIND" (metaphysical) is what is being studied, and the physical is an expression of MIND. KNOW SELF(MIND)✌🏾💪🏾✊🏾💯🇬🇳🇬🇳🇲🇱

Baseless gender stereotyping. Pseudoscience.

As a psychology academic, I went into this book knowing NLP is a pseudoscience. NLP is built upon some misguided ideas and yet I still have been interested because I know some smart people whom have had interesting results by studying it. They too know it's pseudoscience but have gained perspective from it nonetheless. You can get the same results by practicing meditation.

This book is targets readers that haven't already spent a good deal of time introspecting into their own thoughts. I got a few chapters in and a few bits of nonsense struck me so hard I had to turn it off. The first was that much of the book explains concepts with anecdotes where presenting a factual explanation would have been easily possible, if not easier to understand. The second was that many of the anecdotes differentiated between what a man versus a woman would think in the same situation, and these were examples of baseless gender stereotyping. It wasn't even necessary to make gender-specific anecdotes and yet the authors made them anyway. Anyone with a psych background would be knowledgeable about gender bias and have no excuse. I skipped through the rest of the book to find these pattern continue.

Says it’s for beginners but nope

Way over the top for beginners. Never made it through as I quickly became discouraged.

Full of valuable skills, NLP Essential Guide helps you be better and happier

This book has tremendous value because it describes important life skills that can improve your life significantly. I am a certified project manager so I am very knowledgeable about achieving results, however I was fascinated in learning about the skill called a well formed outcome and its subset called the ecology of the outcome because in a simple way helps an individual or group describe their desired result. Another important skill is the ability to work through difficult conflicts not only with other people but also within yourself. If you want to learn how to manage a difficult memory, this book will show you a simple technique for disassociating yourself from it. It also comes with an implementation guide to cement your skills. Have fun.

simplified the learning process of NLP principles

NLP can seem overwhelming but thid book gives great examples and really paints the picture of how to use NLP every day. I've listened to it 3 times now and I learn something new everytime

not for audible,

this is full of many look ups and practical exercises you need the bookto do.

Most disappointing book I've purchased

In short: if you're going to write a trashy self-help book, don't give it an academic-sounding title.

no impressed

was unimpressed with how long this book was and how little of specific information it gave you

Incredibly intelligent content

Lots of useful technics to enhance and improve our lives. From everyday events to big goals. The audio makes me fall asleep, though. I guess it’s because the content gets kind of complex to follow through sometimes and the voice is kind of hypnotic. Like a grandpa telling a bedtime story. I really like this book anyways!

Excellent book

I've read various web articles about NLP and watched plenty of videos online. this book far exceeded my expectations. there's also an accompanying website with plenty of videos and articles which reiterate the content.

Best NLP resource I've found so far.

I initially approached this for professional reasons. I'd undertaken a diploma for hypnotherapy, and felt an understanding of NLP would give me an insight into the 'why' of treatments, rather than just the how. What I discovered, to my delight was that this resource-rich book was not only clear, direct and accessible, but encouraged and initiated personal insights, discoveries and provided techniques which helped me address issues myself.
After completing the main body of the text, I feel not only more qualified to engage in practical psychology, but personally empowered also.
If you're interested in learning the operating system for the human mind, how to create inner-congruence, banish negative and intrusive thoughts, smooth relationships, help people understand and address deep-seated issues, understand the mechanisms behind many of the mental health problems plaguing society today, and even become effective at negotiations, this book is for you.
Great narrator, too. I bought both the kindle and Audible versions and read along so that I could absorb and highlight information. This increased my information retention manyfold, so I'd recommend that.

Eye opening

I learned a lot of useful techniques. I am going to reread now in case I missed something

Good Book with video tutorial links

This is a great refresher for someone who has already studied NLP, the website tutorials add that extra dimension of learning. You do need to go through it a few times and practice some of the exercises to fully understand the concepts of NLP. Its also great for someone who is new to NLP, as its covers most of the subjects on an NLP course, this will give you a good understanding of the principles of NLP and how to change your thinking, which in turn can change your life. This book allows us to appreciate a greater and deeper perspective of human behaviour

theories, examples and practice... just as it says

Essential! This is the best NLP audiobook I have heard so far. It gave me the understanding to delve deeper into the source material and understand the real world applications of NLP

Slow start. Gets better

Starts very slow, but then makes really good points later. Worth hanging in there if you're funding it tough going.

NLP for All

NLP is just another tool for coaching....or at least thats what I used to think 🤔

This book, and many others like it, have taught me that the principles of NLP are more than just a tool, it is an essential facete of life.

The beauty of this book is that it provides theoretical and practical knowledge for you to practice on yourself prior to assisting others should you wish.

The only drawback for this book is its lack of an accompanying PDF, but that shouldn't prevent you from benefitting from the valuable NLP lessons within this book.

Good reference book

I have this as both audio and hard copy as I like to listen and then do the activities throughout. There are lots to practice and it’s worth doing the activities otherwise you miss the point of the book.
A good go to reference book.

life changing insights

this is a great book full of fantastic ways to help you understand yourself and the people in our lives, it's easy to listen to and I love that you can try the exercises as you go.

don't waste your credit

nothing to learn here mindless babble please do not waste your credit. nlp is a con
