Buy new: $12.23 / Used from: $7.90 I've been in a Cialdini seminar and frankly, the book covers enough of ideas to "play" with for a long time. However, it is a bit hard to read first time around so get ready to go through it at least twice.

 | The User's Manual for the Brain (Vol 1) by Bob G. Bodenhamer
Buy new: $46.75 / Used from: $29.99 So far this is the best for-beginners theory/practice book I've read. No, it's not perfect, but the authors did a remarkable job making the really hard to grasp concepts - very clear and easy to follow.

 | My Voice Will Go With You: The Teaching Tales of Milton H. Erickson, M.D.
Buy new: $11.53 / Used from: $3.99 Milton H. Erickson is a must-learn for NLP students. I say this because I come from the Hypnotherapy side of the business, and being so has gotten me to study Erickson's work much more intensively than they do in most NLP trainings. My advise is - go slow, read slow and let these words sink in. This book is a wonderful motivational collection of Erickson stories for anyone to learn from.
