Reading this book is the best way to grasp the 14 patterns of this powerful NLP technique. Robert Dilts does not always make an easy read, but this book is easy to follow.

When I ordered this book I thought I'd be treated to the secrets of covert change work in what others would see as seemingly mundane conversations.
And to a degree the book delivers solid content based on NLP.
The problem is, the model, presented as a schematic in this book is one of the most unwieldy things I've ever seen. It's just too complicated and too detailed to be any use in helping someone using it to be able to access it unconscioulsy while simultaneously trying to be present in the conversation.
It seems, in an attempt to ensure no part of a communication is left out, the author felt it necessary to include everthing (big chunks and small chunks) so that by the end of the book, you feel even less confident of being able to do the stuff.
So in summary:
If you like talking about how these powerful patterns all may link together then you'll probably still love this book.
If you're actually interested in getting out there and using the patterns then this book will probably be more effective in confusing you.

This is not an introduction to NLP and as such I concur with the earlier review. However, if you've undertaken NLP training this comprehensive work brings much of the magic of NLP under one roof. The concepts that underpin the the conversation patterns are the foundations of NLP, hence the need for background. Once you have a firm grasp of such things as chunking, reframing, outcomes, complex equivalence etc. then the book comes alive. What you have here is priceless recipe for readily accessible language skills for challenging limiting beliefs. They offer a delightful starting point to draw on all your NLP skills. Your background in NLP would give you the skill to recognise limiting language. This set of conversation patterns gives you all the choice you need to start the ball rolling in moving towards empowering beliefs. It does take some reading and a little meta reflection to get it, but it is well worth it. Ideally located at NLP Master Practitioner level.

Some NLP required but exceptional material
Sleight of mouth can be difficult to learn but if you have a good NLP background this book is a gem. Consider buying with Jamie Smart Sleight of Mouth Cards.
