3.0 out of 5 stars Heavy going but with interesting elements, 14 Jun 2004
By Mr. Ross Maynard (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I loved Volume 1 of the User's Manual for the Brain. It is one of the best "pure" NLP books I have read. Unfortunately, for me, Volume 2 does not meet up to the expectations set by the first book. In Volume 2 the authors seem determined to make NLP an academic subject and advance their own "unifying theory" (with something of an obsession for "meta-states"). The result is a turgid and repetitive text. There is good stuff in there - the material on language models is excellent; the discussion on sub-modalities is enlightening (though slightly overcooked by the authors); and the work on reframing is stimulating. Sadly though, it is wrapped in treacle-like text which is very heavy going in many places. If your interest in NLP is scholarly then you may like this book. Personally I much prefer Michael Hall's other "Master" level book - "The Spirit of NLP".

3.0 out of 5 stars Some empowering stuff but unnecessarily difficult to wade through., 14 May 2006
By S. Woolston "woollers" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Volume 1 is my favourite NLP reference book, so I was disappointed to say volume 2 was hard work to read.

There is good content within, such as the Cinema Of The Mind metaphor and the idea of Meta-States. Also, I'm glad I read about the authors' alternative model for belief change work. However, I think a book a third as long could have expressed this content more easily and succinctly. (The authors are verbose and repetitive. I think the book needs some extra rounds of editing, perhaps using a professional editor, to crop extraneous repetition and make key points more plainly.)

I don't know much about the authors but I get the idea they've developed their own revisionist model of NLP and they want to sell it. In their model there are 6 rep systems not 5; sub-modalities are actually meta-modalities; they've developed a more complicated Meta-Model; and they pitch their own unique, unified model of NLP.

Reframing sub-modalities as Meta-modalities was empowering in that it opened up new ideas and insights. I think they're on to something here, though I felt they made too much beef out of how (NLP originator) Bandler was "wrong". That seemed one-upmanish.

As for other revisions: Despite reading it with a curious and explorative frame I didn't get convinced that the 6th rep system (vestibular) was really distinct from kinaesthetic and I didn't get convinced that the more complex Meta-Modal was better. (This may be because I have a tendency to prefer chunking-up when I learn whereas the auhors seem to prefer chunking-down; and because I have a belief that the simplification of models is more useful than complication.)

To conclude, there is empowering material in this book. I found some of the authors' revisionist ideas useful, others less so. However, my overall impression is that the book is too long and unnecessarily difficult to wade through.
