Introducing Neuro-Linguistic Programming: Psychological Skills for Understanding and Influencing People

Summary: It's the Best
Review: Of the many books published on Neuro-Linguistic Programming, this version tops the list. I say that because it does such an effective job of simplifying a complex set of processes and helps the reader understand its applications. Bandler and Grinder's earlier publications brought the concept to life; O'Connor and Seymour make it far more usable.

Summary: A Classic !!
Review: The book is the most compete NLP book on one single binding. It is very well organized and very structured - definitely the most definitive basic NLP book in the market.

Perhaps that's why this book is one of the recommended introductory text in many NLP Practitioner courses, and it is still in printing after so many years and so many printings.

The NLP ideas presented here starts from the basic and slowly progresses in-depth. It does not have too much NLP jargon, and yet not too simple. (where jargon is used, you can refer to the appendices where each NLP term is explained in clear day-to-day English)

Each chapter is packed with well connected series of NLP concepts and tools, seamlessly connected to the following chapters, and normally ends with some NLP exercises which you can immediately use to change your life.

Unlike other self-help books where the so-called guru pumps you up with their motivational ideas, normally without much substance, the NLP ideas presented here are without all the fluff and "how poor turned heroes" stories. In this book, O'Connor just give you pure power-packed NLP ideas that you can try on yourself and others for immediate results.

This is definitely the NLP book. If you're looking for only one good basic NLP book to change your life, look no further.

Summary: Good overview of the subject...
Review: This is one of the most comprehensive overview of the subject of NLP that is available in a single book. The purpose and outcome of the authors are clearly achieved in this material and we can notice that although the language makes the book somewhat overly academic and relatively difficult to understand at some parts, overall, a winner in its class.
Needs further reading to understand practical applications of techniques described therein...the NLP workbook by the same author is a good follow up text.
