"This book is simple and user friendly for the lay person who hasn't the time or money to do NLP certification training. It gives you all of the information that they teach you in those $3,000 one week programs. Lately, in our organization, we have started teaching the practitioner level using NLP For Beginners as a training manual. We also give a copy of the book to every new student. Most of the book is in Q&A format, and that makes complex concepts easier to understand. There are numerous exercises and techniques, explained in direct language and clear instructions. What this book gives, that a lot of other "intro to NLP" books do not, is a chance to really understand the subject. It's an overview of all the essentials in NLP, and then some." --Douglas Walsh, NLP Trainer, Dublin's Altitude Training Center This book contains a full NLP For Beginners course, but written in a simple down-to-earth language, so that anyone can understand.
