Summary: Practical Magic
Review: Of the 20 or so NLP books I've read, this is the clearest that actually takes you through specific steps that get results. If you want more theory, I recommend "Introducing NLP" by O'Connor and Seymour. But if you want experience, this is it.

Summary: Recommended even for UK readers (by an NLP trainer)
Review: Shed loads of practical, easy techniques for self-help, personal development and achieving your goals. Some British readers might find the relentless "American" positivity and can-do attitude a bit grating. My advice: get over it! Our national cynicism is very useful in some contexts, but you have to use it discriminatingly or you can end up missing out on some really good stuff.

Summary: Achieving Achievment,.
Review: These tapes, and the book by the same name, lead you systematically through a number of NLP exersises allowing you to get more out of life. Everytime I listen to them I hear something I missed before. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Summary: A PROGRAM THAT WORKS!
Review: This a hardcore NLP Teaching book that is very easy to read and even more importantly, to use. Also, unlike the self-promoting Anthony Robbins, you won't be inundated with advertising and fluff. This is a No-Nonsense book that will get you results, and I mean, rapid results!

Summary: Some nuggets of gold amidst a sea of New Age hype
Review: This book has some valuable sections burried in a morass of New Age hype and cheerleading. I think it was the text for a series of tapes published by Conant. There is a lot of fluff, and the whole book probably could have been condensed into about 100 pages. Some of the examples are a bit far fetched. Why would I want to model myself on someone who spurns human society and lives to be a dog sled racer in Alaska? Oh, I guess she was following her bliss and we all should do that to fully realize ourselves and reach our highest potential. Blah, blah, blah, etc.!

Summary: Great introduction to NLP
Review: This book is a great introduction to NLP. It covers the fundamental principles and techniques in a concise manner. There is no fluff, which is something I appreciated. It can be used by novices to learn the "big picture", and as a refresher by those who are familiar with NLP. There are many exercises, and the step by step instructions are clearly written. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning and experiencing what NLP has to offer.

Summary: Great Intro to NLP
Review: This book is a great introduction to the world of Neuro Linguistic Programming, or NLP. It not only includes a primer to bring you up to speed on what NLP is, but explains some of the more advanced techniques and methods of programming. About the only downside of this book is the fact that exercises appear in the middle of most chapters, which tends to cut into the "flow" of reading. Still, the exercises appear in a quite logical sequence, and you get used to it after the first few chapters.Despite its choppy presentation, the book is extremely readable, entertaining and leaves one with a strong understanding of the fundamentls of NLP itself. For those of you who are new to NLP, this is definitely the first book that I would read.

Summary: Nothing new or technological
Review: This book was extremely disappointing. Based on the semantic hype, I really expected to read something insightful about human behavior/psychology. The book Psychocybernetics written ~35 years ago says virtually the same thing-only withou the naive 'we've got the answer' tone. There is really nothing new in this book or anything even close to being a "technology" as the subtitle claims. Just a lot of classic, tired, positive-visualization exercises with a healthy helping of low-level psychobabble masquerading as a new 'breakthrough'.
