Neuro-linguistic Programming For Dummies Book Description

Readers of Neuro-linguistic Programming for Dummies will understand how to model top business leaders or sportsmen and women. They will be able to teach children and students how to learn more effectively. They can break away from complex habits like smoking, drinking or addictive behaviour. They can become better writers, presenters and communicators. They can understand how to build rapport with a diverse range of people, learning to live or work more productively with others.

The main themes centre on the NLP approach to goal setting; how we think - our mental strategies, how we manage emotional states and how we understand the world. For more experienced NLP readers, the book delves into the more advanced thoughts and techniques of leading experts such as Tad James in Time Line Therapy, Robert Dilts in Belief Change work and Shelle Rose Charvet in Language Patterns and Behaviour.
