Review
NLP: Principles in Practice draws together NLP tools, techniques and methodologies for a wide ranging audience. Lisa Wake offers an evidence based approach and as a result the reader gets a true sense of how to apply this in a range of contexts. A great book to have in your development toolkit! --Jill Jackson, Head of European R&D, Human Resources, Mundipharma Research
Lisa's real experience operating in the field gives this book a resonance few could hope to match. This book is a testimony to her practical, common sense application of NLP to enable excellence. A must read for those of you wanting a credible insight in how to give yourselves, your talent and your business an edge. --Beverly Hodson, Group Change Implementation Manager, Northern Foods
This much needed book takes the reader back to the origins of NLP, then on a journey to its application in practice and outlines how NLP may be developed in the future. This book comprehensively addresses the evidence base underpinning NLP and explains in easy to understand language the plethora of psychological theories and models that NLP has been built on over the years and how they link to modern day NLP practice. --Nici Evans, Head of Partnership Development, Cardiff & Vale University Health Board

Product Description
This book covers the main tools and techniques of NLP. Apart from this first chapter, each chapter follows the same layout. The overview and rationale for each tool/technique or philosophy is given. A literature review has been undertaken and any relevant literature to support or challenge the model is included. Any concepts that are directly related to the subject matter are summarised as are the principles of why the particular technique works and how it links back to the overarching theory and principles of NLP. How the technique works is then described followed by the key steps involved in applying the technique. Each section then concludes with a recommended exercise to follow and examples of how the technique can be applied across a number of different contexts.

Format:Paperback
Just to be clear, I am a past student of the Awaken School in Stokesley, North Yorksire, UK and as such my review is bound to be prejudiced by my extensive experience of Lisa's perspectives on Neuro Linguistic Programming. And this review is intended to be as objective as possible given that context.
As a Master Practioner of NLP I have bought and read most of the 'standard' NLP texts and would rate them as between fair and excellent, and this book is certainly up with the 'excellent' few.
The first paragraph in the introduction sets out Lisa's intentions: providing a good grounding for people new to NLP who may be considering formal NLP training and also for NLP practitioners who want to underpin their existing knowledge with an evidence base for the approach, components and applications of NLP.
And this book does deliver on these intentions.
The first couple of chapters sets out the background and basic principles that underpin NLP - no mean feat in 24 pages. She illustrates the narrative on NLP pressuppositions with real-world examples that provide a practical insight for the new-comer to NLP and re-affirm or re-frame the experience of more seasoned practitioner. As a student of Lisa's there are no surprises here for me, but no doubt others who haven't experienced Lisa's perspective will find some new nuggets of knowledge.
The real beauty of this book is in the structure of chapters Three to Eleven. Each follows a similar format. For each subject area of Goal Setting, Understanding other People, Viewing things from alternative Perspectives, Changing the pictures, Sounds and Feelings of how we think, Change Management,Language of NLP,Presenting Information, Motivating and Influencing, and Performance Excellence the chapters set out and very clearly the rationale, evidence base, principles and application of each area and, perhaps most usefully, introduces practical excercises that collectively form a resource bank for use in a range of contexts.
The final chapter provides a clear discourse on the practical application of NLP in a range of contexts including Coaching,Business, Education, Therapy, Sports and Health Care.
So, if you are new to NLP and are looking for a book that wil give you a good feel for the full range of NLP concepts, tools and applications in an easy to read format that combines a summary of academic and professional knowlege with practical examples and useful practice tips, get hold of a copy of this book. And if you are, like me, an existing NLP practioner you may find new perspectives on previous knowledge and perhaps just genuinely enjoy a fluently written narrative from one of the leading expert practioners in our field.
Get it. Read it. Enjoy! I did...

Format:Paperback
I'm wondering have you ever been discussing NLP with your friends and they ask the inevitable question "So how does it work then?, or "Where's the proof"? and in the past could only reply with "Because ive seen it work"! then this is the book for you. Lisa has done an amazing job of researching and uncovering up to date evidence to support NLP and draw comparisons from all kinds of fields. The findings are explained in a way that are easily understood and remembered. A great book with easy and fun exercises for beginners and with information that is lacking from any other titles in my collection i can fully recommend this to all.

Just to be clear, I am a colleague and friend of Lisa's - consequently I am heavily biased!
'NLP: Principles in Practice' is written in a clear and concise way, and incorporates the underpinning research and theory that is missing from many NLP books.
The book covers all the key aspects of NLP that any reader would want to know, and is brought to life with the numerous practical examples in many contexts such as work, home, relationships and sport. This enables the readers to easily understand NLP and be able to use it in their life.
