Read in June, 2011

I really enjoyed the neurolinguistic elements of this book and the political bits were insightful, though often unsubstantiated and sometimes unfounded. Nonetheless, I'll probably re-read this at least once to learn the language and concepts of neurolinguistics more deeply. I agree that framing concepts and reinforcing key associated ideas is a powerfully persuasive technique – maybe something we can use to change the world for the better.
