Annoying read
I totally agree with -among others- D. Font and would like to thank him for referring to Honest Abe's website which I found very usefull. This book isn't worth your time nor your money.

NLP
For Dummies series is brilliant. I have now got CBT for dummies and NLP for dummies. Both are easy reading, you can pick them up and open at any page. No jargon, anyone can understand the concepts in both books. I have used them to inform my Mental Health student nurses about the different approaches to treatment of depression, anxiety etc.
As I was a first timer on Amazon I was a little apprehensive about ordering 'on-line' and not absolutely sure I was going to get the goods ordered. However, they were quick to deliver, cheaper than the high street, I will not hesitate to order 'on-line' from Amazon in the future.

The first step on a new path
I really enjoyed this book. A few friends recommended it and I have studied other NLP related material in the past. This book spells out a lot of the powerful concepts of NLP, and gives you real lessons that you can use to apply NLP and change your life.

And if you don't know what Neuro Linguistic Programming is, this is a great way to find out.

Also, If your friends have been bugging you to read "The Secret", but you're turned off by all the spiritual mumbo jumbo. check this book out. Its basically a scientific approach to the reality behind The Secret.
