5.0 out of 5 stars Hard work, but rewarding - the real deal, 26 Jan 2002
By M. Crossley (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book demands a lot of understanding, but will be very rewarding when you study it and put it in context with all the rest of the stuff you really understand about NLP... In summary, not a good first book to read on the topic - but a cracker to get down to the bedrock, when you get fed up with some of the glitzier lightweight stuff on this topic

4.0 out of 5 stars A book in understanding the construct of subjective langauge, 11 Aug 2000
This book is definately not for the beginner to NLP or linguistics. Even for the more adavanced, it is a book that needs reading not once, not twice, but three times before a true understanding of all the concepts can be grasped. It is essentially for those people that are studying NLP or are counsellors/therapists and are looking into ways of understanding others better as well as improving their own communication techniques in helping others develop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and Important, if at times dense, book, 14 Oct 1997
By A Customer
This is the first "NLP" book, and is a look at the language used by some great psychotherapists (Milton Erickson, Virginia Satir and Fritz Perls). The book is structured around various linguistic structures and its theoretical basis comes from Noam Chomsky's Transformational Grammar. Because of this the book can be somewhat difficult to read -- as each linguistic structure is presented, the authors give examples of its use and drills for practice in recognizing them.

The book is a must read for anyone who practices psychotherapy, and is useful for anyone involved in communicating with other people (uh, yes, that does mean everyone). It's a great tool for improving the way one thinks, by giving a person the ability to recognize "deficient" uses of everyday language, and when to search for "missing" information in what people say.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Structure of Magic by Richard Bandler & John Grinder
Although good, this offering is more technical and probably not as useful as Richard Bandler's later work "Guide to Trance-formation"

3.0 out of 5 stars Not an easy read
Not the best read I've ever purchased but does include some useful information. Having been on one of John Grinder's NLP courses I am surprised just how badly written this book... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but could have been so much better...
A bit more readable compared to "Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson" but still not terribly well-written.

I'd give it 3.5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars The journey to NLP? Nah, just enjoy the NLP journey!
I think if you are to approach this book from the angle of it being a 'journey to nlp', maybe you wont ever get there. It can be kinda tricky like that. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable
This is one of the standard indispensable NLP texts. It mostly deals with the relationship between linguistics and perceptions and explains the Meta Model in detail. Read more
