Summary: A book well worth reading
Review: As you may surmise, I am fairly self-confident and do not generally ask for help. Fortunately, my wife purchased the book for me to read. I have learned that what I already knew needed to be re-awakened in the form of a new presentation. With simple examples I could relate to my own , ahem , short comings. There are a number of techniques that we all can use to help in our business and personnal relations. The book is must reading for anyone that deals with a multitude of personalities and would like to be appreciated by them.

Summary: Be the Person You Want to Be : Harness the Power of Neuro-Li
Review: First, this book is great. It gives step by step procedures that really work. I've made a lot of money and increased my general happiness (and others around me) because of what the book taught me. My advice: read it with an open mind and re-read it every so often.

Summary: By far the BEST NLP book there is!!!
Review: I've read them all, and this one really delivers. I understood what he had to say, it all applied to my everyday life, and I just felt good about it all as a result of reading this book. If you're wanting to know about NLP, this is the book. If you're already into NLP and want people around you to know what you're doing, this is the book too -- it will save you a lot of efforts down the road!

Summary: A big improvement over most NLP books.
Review: Most NLP books are unreadable.NLP is supposed to be about the study of excellent human performance, and how to model it. However, most NLP books get caught up in issues like hypnosis and therapy, and are written like psychiatric textbooks: bore, snore. Most NLP "poobahs" thumb their nose at Anthony Robbins; let's face it, his works are popular because they're about self-improvement and are east to read. This book by John Emerick is along the same vein, but with more specific how-tos, and less cheerleading, than the Tony Robbins books. Rather than spend hundreds of dollars on NLP and NLP-related books looking for a guide for specific self-improvement, buy this one.

Summary: Too many words make for a tedious read.
Review: The book promises practical steps in NLP to improve aspects of ones life. These are not forthcoming. There is a lot of padding and redundancy which becomes tedious after the first chapter. I started making notes. Then I got to scoring out passages. Then pages. In the end I was so annoyed I tore out irrelevant pages in chunks. Out of the first 150 pages, there was only about a page and a half I thought worth keeping. Simple ideas are cloaked in obscure terminology which reminds me of those boring management seminars in hot rooms where everybody falls asleep in the afternoon. Which is a shame because I am sure NLP has something to offer.This is not a 'how to' manual although it claims to be.
