Most expensive toilet paper. I never expect much from any book titles ending with "in a week", or such others. What I do expect is a brief introduction to the topic that is covered, an opener, just so I can get a taste for more. I did learn two things however:

1. you can find out more about NLP from Wikipedia than from this book
2. you can write and sell a book on NLP even if you're not really a writer or have the ability of drawing a line between personal and corporate life

So yeah, spoiler alert: if you're human, this book might not be for you - the condition here is that you're a boring suit in the office right across the corner office, at a fancy desk job with a bunch of departments with acronyms for names and such. Oh, and where Sally from HR can be a real bitch sometimes.

Seriously though, NLP is a delicate subject, you either take the time to get it right and keep it consistent or you don't bring it up at all - you can't just go explaining how important certain language constructs are one minute and in the next you're throwing all sorts of random triggers all over the place.

It's should be called a very brief introduction to NLP. Good if you've never read anything about it before but if you know anything about NLP then you won't learn anything new.

I'm not sure this book gives NLP the credit it deserves as far as the education and skill required to truly integrate these skills in to everyday practice. A great starting point but I wouldn't consider myself a skilled NLP practioner nor able to utlilize the modality to my benefit. It did however encourage me to learn more.

The book covers the basic points of NLP in a work environment.
