How to Take Charge of Your Life: The User’s Guide to NLP

As a Spiritual Counselor, I have used some of these techniques when clients were too enmeshed in fear to try and get ahead. I loved this book It's an easy read, well written, and uses examples anyone could relate to I highly recommend this book, and trying the lessons.

I found this book easy and quick to read and the exercises easy and effective. As far as the NLP techniques in the book, maybe having a previous understanding of how and why NLP works might be helpful for others, just as a general hint before reading this particular book. I think it was helpful that I had taken a couple of classes before hand on NLP, but I can't speak for others who may not have done this and read this book maybe it worked for them too.On a related note NLP is amazing and I've had some great improvements in my own life using NLP techniques, so anything you can find especially by Richard Bandler is a must read. The improvements are definitely real, although some exercises may feel like little steps, a few can create great laps forward in one's own self engineering and healing.

By far the best self improvement book I have ever read. And Iv read a-lot! The format is easy to read and follow and I love how they have set it up from the perspective of a third person instead of talking at you like most. At the end is the summary of the most important aspects. Highly recommend if your looking to change your thinking and change your life. I have seen incredible transformations in my personal and professional life after reading this as well as the sequel ultimate introduction to NLP.

Had never heard of this before and I have a college degree in science. Work in the medical field as well. I liked the way these techniques were presented as a story. I justified forward to readingMore each night. I want to know more on the techniques described in this book. And I have already tried a couple of them with success. Who knew because I certainly did not. Looking forward to visiting some of the listed websites. And purchasing a DVD in the near future. I say better later this. Never. Thanks to the Arthur's for its availability on my Kindle.

I was first introduced to the subject of NLP more than 30 years ago when I took a counselling course in graduate school. I remember being fascinated by the professor's demonstrations. When I saw this more recent book by Richard Bandler, I was keen to buy it.The most interesting part of the book is in its beginning chapters, where Bandler shows how mental images (or movies) can be manipulated to change one's fear, lack of confidence, etc. I tried to follow his instructions, but had difficulty visualising the images that he referred to. Perhaps one really requires the help of a tutor or trainer to master such techniques.The rest of the book covers areas such as positive thinking, setting goals, etc. While useful, the areas tend to be general, and not too different from what the reader comes across in most self-help books.The book is designed to provide instructions for self help, by taking the fictitious character Joe through a three-day seminar conducted by Bandler. For a self-help book, the author has picked a character that is too ideal, in that Joe follows Bandler's instructions and learns readily. At the end of the story, he even wins the affection of the woman he fancies. It would have been more useful if the account could cover some realistic difficulties in learning NLP techniques. Only presenting an ideal case makes the book look more like promotional literature for Bandler's seminar, rather than something designed to guide the reader in helping himself.I must admit that I am a bit disappointed in this book.

Me gusto la información porque se puede utilizar. Practico

Not much to add. Easy and quick read without a bunch of theoretical BS. Straight forward scenarios that i think most people can apply to their day to day experiences. I have a couple of folks that work for me that will be getting a copy. Glad I took the time to read it.

The best thing about the book is its injectional accessibility or in plain English, it is easy to understand. I have come to expect great ideas from all the works on NLP I have read and this is not an exception. But like Mark Twain/Samuel Clemens had fun making great works, so did these authors with their witty and genuinely idealistic presentation of the material.

Amazing book with practical day to day examples ..must read only when you are ready to accept the change ...

Describes a 3 days workshop, and it is as if you were there at that workshop. And the exercises shared are easy to try and do. It is amazing for people who want an easy way of being introduce to NlP and understand how it works.A Greta started in the NlP world I would say.

The authors of this piece of art did an fantastic job! They wrote in such a way that the reader can experience a vivid and clearly understanding of all the book is all about.They involved me in the story inside the book in such a way that I felt I was there watching very closely everything. By understanding the story I understood all the techniques the authors teach!

This is a great way to understand NLP. I have studied it for over 20 years and use it every day with myself and clients. There is always a way to help people when you use this approach. Love it keep going Richard you are a true force for positive change in our world.

The book oversells itself. It's not a user's guide to NLP as it claims, but just a way to experience Bandler's take on it as it is sold today. It's not as good as the Bandler seminar I experienced in the 1990s or as "using your brain for a change" from the 1980s
