This book has been harshly reviewed by people who have knowledge of NLP: "don't read this book if you know anything about NLP" is apparently the take home message. Fine. But that is kind of like telling a rocket scientist not to bother reading a pre-school chemistry book!
For those who know nothing about NLP, i.e. the intended demographic, this is a great book with plenty of examples relating the theory to real life. Sure, it isn't advanced NLP but you can't run before you can walk.
I am a complete beginner and this book captured my imagination and made me think more analytically about my actions, thoughts and communication skills. My advice is go to a book store and read a chapter or two before making your mind up.

Okay so NLP has a huge debate around it and I think it is one of those things you either love or hate and this is most probably where the extreme reviews from 1 star to 5 stars comes from.
I have completed an NLP practitioner course and read several books. I am not evangelic about it but do believe it is a useful tool to carry in your toolbox of life skills.
This book does what it says on the tin. It is a simple introduction and overview to NLP. You can debate the scientific aspects of NLP endlessly and how effective it is but if you want to give it a go and begin exploring then this is a useful starting point. You may then be ready to move on to some other weightier tomes on the subject.
Simple, cheap and clear? Then this is the book for you.

Okay, this is a "For Dummies" book, but that doesn't mean it is basic by any means. Every tool in NLP is explained, with anecdotes, exercises and much more besides.
NLP, when used by a skilled practitioner, is a very powerful method of changing the beliefs of yourself and others. That it hasn't been abused as much as it can be is quite astonishing to me after reading this book.
But if you think this or any other book will simply hand you the keys to someone's mind in a quick technique, you're sadly mistaken. NLP is a complex model of the unconscious and it requires a bit of study. It's what you make of it. Like anything worthwhile, you'll need to study it, but I read this book in a weekend and was practicing NLP successfully soon after.
There are some interesting side effects, too. You'll be able to spot a liar and from that tell whether they're left-handed or not!

NLP for dummies is a book with a good intention: it wants to tell people a bit more about Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Read more

Still going?
Does anyone outside of the world of dodgy management training scenarios take NLP seriously anymore?
