Perfect intro
|
I like this book.
The book contain a perfect intro into NLP. Provide a lot of important informations, interesting text, easy readable content.
Four stars, just because, I think this book is just for beginners. If you are going to buy your 6th book about NLP and you are working with NLP a long time already, this will be just another one and you will be probably not able to absorb a lot of new informations.
For NLP "starters" this may really be the best book.
I also appericiate its brevity.

A genuinely effective account of NLP
|
I couldn't agree more with the last reviewer.
Like most "businessman" I'm not just "in business", I'm also very "busy". So when I read a business book, which I don't get to do as often as I'd like, it had better tell its story as briefly and clearly as possible. And this book does.Some of my colleagues have recommended other books on NLP in the past, including those mentioned by Mr Smith, but to be perfectly blunt the prospect of having to go through several hundred pages just to get a basic understanding of the subject really didn't hold much appeal. What this book did was give me some concrete descriptions of what I take to be key elements of NLP simply and clearly, without being patronising, and briefly without being shallow. And when I say concrete I mean that the descriptions are brought together in the second part of the book showing how they can be used in typical business situations such as appraisals, sales calls, meetings and such like.
I found it particularly helpful that the descriptions in the first part of the book are accompanied by easy to follow exercises, most on which can be carried out on your own, so that you can see how the ideas work in practice. After reading this book I feel ready to tackle some of those more heavyweight tomes I've heard about, and I can heartily recommend "DYNS", as I call it, to anyone wanting to understand how NLP can help you to achieve your business goals.

The best intro book for NLP in business
|
|
For the busy manager, many of the existing books about NLP in business may be just a bit too long to contemplate starting. Even fine works like 'Influencing With Integrity" and 'NLP at Work' may sit on the shelf for years without being opened. No such excuses are possible with "Develop Your NLP Skills". The book is extremely concise and readable. It avoids unnecessary jargon, but covers some tricky areas in business (such as 'discipline') which other NLP books shy away from. This is going straight on the recommended reading for my practitioner courses - there's no higher praise than that!

It works
|
I bought my copy of the book a while ago basically to find out what all the fuss was about. I have not been able to go for any training yet so I cannot claim to be much of an expert in the subject of NLP. Still I've read through this book several times and found it to be both informative and practical and easy to follow the explanations. I also have put the ideas into practice when I can and they work pretty good in my experience. I would recomend this book as a very good introduction to NLP.
Good luck!

An excellent overview of NLP
|
|
This book provided me with an excellent overview of a concept about which I had limited previous knowledge. While developing a workshop on the topic of those characteristics that seem to come naturally to high performers, I discovered a connection to NLP. Practicing NLP seemed to be the method by which one can embrace the values, attitudes, and principles displayed by high performers. The straightforward, friendly style of writing makes this book accessible to any reader. It is especially useful for business managers who want to use this tried and true method to enhance their team's performance. The techniques of NLP can assist anyone become more effective (and possibly more contented) in their life, work, and relationships. I think most readers will find the content is at a level of detail that supports immediate use of the NLP techniques.
