The author says she will explain the "principles of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) in the business environment to achieve personal and organizational goals" however it was more of her explaining why you need NLP, not how to use it, how to create a different language pattern, or even ways how to change your typical speech to match NLP. A very disappointing book. Her examples using NLP vs our normal, everyday wording with others were poor samples. I could not see the difference between what I currently say or how she says I should say it. So glad this was a library book so I only wasted time, not money.

Very disappointed. Interested in what I have been told about NLP but felt that this book did more than just remove the jargon it dumbed it down to the point of patronisation.
The second half improved a bit in terms of "Strategies" but not very well structured.
Overall wish I hadn't bothered and had chosen a different book for my first proper foray into this area.

This book was written by an author from the UK so there is some problem with understanding some terms. Other than that it is an interesting read and a good source of information.
