Thought Viruses : Powerful Ways to Change Your Thought Patterns and Get What You Want in Life

Rating:
Summary: Practial and Effective Application of NLP
Review: "Thought Viruses" presents clear and practical steps to identifying self-defeating thought patterns and internal conflicts, and the methods to eliminate them. The book emphasizes a number of remedial Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) methods, such as State Strategies (including submodalities), 6-Step Reframing, and Collapsing Anchors, and demonstrates step-wise practical application of these techniques. Dr. Lofland shows how to overcome depression, allergies, procrastination, and fear of failure/success. He also discusses how to make improvements in the areas of intimacy, communication, and even in responding to cancer. Throughout he creates a convincing analogy of harmful thoughts/beliefs to a virus, specifically "Thought Viruses," with the treatment for these being NLP-based "anitviral remedies." I recommend this as an excellent book for those wishing to deal with the topics mentioned, or for those seeking an explicit description of practical NLP application.
