In My Own Words:
Key Fact: When I'm not reading non-fiction, mainly on psychology or computing, my favourite book are "golden age" detective stories - both short stories and full length novels. One of the highlights of my life at the moment is the steady stream of "Universal" detective series being released on DVD.

One of the highlights of my life at the moment is the steady stream of "Universal" detective series being released on DVD. I already have all of the BBC-produced Miss Marple episodes, and the Poirot programs made by Carnival Ltd. In my opinion the later (post-Carnival) Poirots and the ITV Miss Marple programs are seriously inferior, produced by people who have no feeling whatever for the material. I won't be wasting my money on them.

The one thing I guarantee you won't get from this book is an 'understanding of NLP'. Instead, and Im not joking, you'll get a complete MISunderstanding of NLP.
You can begin to understand what I mean if I tell you that there is a glossary at the back which claims to explain 44 words and phrases. But over half of the explanations are wrong, and several others are definitly doubtful.
This is the entry for Eye Accessing Cues:
- the ways in which eyes move in one direction as compared with others to indicate what a person might be thinking. Different eye directions denote, for example, honesty, thoughtfulness, dishonesty, etc.

Have you ever run into the sort of person who talks about things they know nothing about, but talks on and on and on, apparently in the hope that if they keep talking for long enough then the law of averages means they must get at least one thing right?
That's what I felt I was up against when I was reading this book.
Firstly, it is badly laid out, by which I mean that it has no obvious flow other than (I guess) the order in which things popped into the authors' heads.
Secondly, a significant amount of the material has little or nothing to do with NLP - like the "Wheel of Life" and the stuff on PTSD - and quite a lot the material, whether about NLP… Read more
