Have you ever wanted to convince others of something you believe in, but failed to do so? Do you often feel misunderstood or like others disregard what you have to say? Would you like to establish strong, lasting connections with others? If you're someone who wants to master the power of persuasion while improving yourself and your communication style along the way, then this book is for you! Neuro- Linguistic Programming (NLP) describes how the brain works [ neuro ], how we use language in different scenarios [ linguistic ], and how we can master behavior patterns with time [ programming ]. But more importantly, NLP is the science behind how people work. Good news is, you're about to learn the essentials about human behavior, how using simple gestures, words, and actions can sway people to your point of view, as well as how to make changes in your lifestyle in order to do all this effectively. Psychology scholar, Albert Mehrabian, reveals in his book, Silent Implicit Communication of Emotions and Attitudes , the 7%-38%-55% rule. This rule shows how words make the least meaningful aspect of communication (only 7%). The other 93% consists of non-verbal communication - the tone of our voice, our facial expression, our body language, and so on. Beyond self-discovery and the ability to advance, NLP teaches individuals how to master these non-verbal cues, allowing us to utilize the skills of excellent communication to the fullest. In this book you'll - ; How to use the 10 time-tested NLP techniques to kick start your effective persuasion skills (even if you already know a lot of the common tricks!) - The 5 keys to interpreting human behavior and thought through body language - What psychologists know about influencing others...and how you can apply this knowledge no matter your situation - The 1 magical method you need to alter your negative behavioral patterns for good (and how you can achieve this in no time) - How to directly influence the behavior of others by using the best words and gestures to get your points across effectively - How learning to ask these 5 key NLP questions will help you make the right choices to empower yourself and others (no matter the situation!) - The secrets behind the most charismatic people that make them stand out from the crowd (and how you can match them using this one simple trick) - The absolute 6 worst things you might be doing to harm your chances of creating the rapport and connections you need to succeed (and how to avoid these mistakes at all costs if you want to finally be effective and compelling!) ...and much, much more!

NLP is not a new concept. Apparently, no new research is available on the topic, as indicated by Sperry's references and bibliography. The book does not present us with a fresh take on a subject matter that introduced in the late sixties and early seventies. As stated in a review of his other book, from the title, Joseph Sperry gives the impression that he is giving us a new way to use an old technique. He fails to do. Most of the book regurgitates the same information in the same way as the researchers he cites from twelve to thirty years ago. There is nothing new or fresh about this book. It is dated and boring. Also, language use in many areas is strange.
I like reading self-help books. The author of any self-help book must know that their readers must be drawn into the book very quickly. Information that is supposed to transform a person's mindset must be engaging. Presentation and verbiage matter when writing about what a layperson may consider a stodgy subject matter. Sperry promised to translate NLP so that the layperson can understand and thereby access NLP techniques. I am not sure he accomplished his goal.
