What a fantastic embedded treasure trove.
I found this book from another Fantastic book by Dr. Sidney Rosen.
"And my voice will go with you " , I am currently just sampling the book,
and I must say it is spectacular so far,
I particularly like the sections on Anchors, and Hypnosis.
I have just scratched the surface

A cool read for NLPers who want to learn more about the intricacies of metaphors and how to usr different NLP aspects to create change.

Non NLPers will find it complicated..

A must-read for NLPers as it highlights the principles of Methafors amid the representational systems, the Satie personalities and the various submodalities.
It must be considered before reading it that it was written as a reference/teaching book.
Very highlighting.

I picked this up at an estate sale, mainly because I was bewildered by the title and by the complete lack of any sort of blurb on the back that might give me a notion of what the heck it was about. Even the table of contents, if viewed with absolutely no preconceptions, is hilariously vague.

Obviously I was not this book's intended audience, but I read it anyway and found bits of it to be intriguing but, on the whole, not for me.
