Great at explaining the basics	Customer Rating:
A good manual of the basics of NLP techniques written by the man who has developed much of what NLP is today. The book doesn't suggest it's all there is to NLP Bandler style, as anyone who has worked with Richard will testify, but it will give many a good grounding in what may be new techniques to them and a good reminder for those already using them.

Great read but shaky premises!

Customer Rating:

I have been involved with NLP for over 20 years now. I was one of the first in the UK to become an NLP Practitioner in 1987. I have trained with Richard Bandler 3 times-twice in the UK and once in the USA. His work is brilliantly original and highly effective-BUT and there is a but! The basis of his work revolves around something called submodalities, these are the small building blocks of our internal images, words/sounds and feelings. However it is my belief that this reliance on the technology of submodalities limits how useful this book will be. In my opinion this book can help you to make fast and effective 'low level' change-stopping smoking, over eating, phobias. However if you are seeking a change of "being" I would look to explore fields which have a deeper structure like general semantics (GS). GS is a much broader system and in my opinion can help to change thinking at a more useful level. As Einstein said "you can't solve a problem with the same level of thinking that created it". A lot, though not all of NLP tries to do just that!

Delighted with Richard's new book	Customer Rating:
I'm delighted with Richard's new book. Simple strategies and approaches to deal with most of life's opportunities and challenges together with highly effective techniques based on 'sub-modality change' and 'spinning feelings'. NLP for 2008 and beyond.

NLP for everyone - at last!

Customer Rating:

"Get the life you want" is a truly comprehensive practical NLP toolset in one book. It is a fabulous NLP Manual - it combines almost all the tools anyone could want to create lasting change - this is truly NLP Unplugged. As a coach I get countless requests for a book that explains the how-to of NLP in plain language. This book is just that - truly a great leap away from the miriad of over intellectualised NLP books out there. It peels away all the mystery in the first few chapters and gets down to the practical end of NLP - execution and getting on with a great life.
