Neurolinguistic programming (NLP) involves a range of psychological techniques that help you to ‘reprogram’ your brain – replacing the negative attitudes that hold you back with positive thought patterns that will enable you to be more effective, confident and successful.
In just under 20 simple steps, Neil Shah shows you how to use NLP to develop new habits of behaviour and thought that will help you succeed in all areas of life, from influencing others and understanding how they influence you, to achieving your goals, to managing stress.

Couldn't be bothered to finish it. It may be because I've done self help to death now or because it wasn't what I expected. I was expecting more about how to change my own programming as it were rather than about influencing others. I got to about chapter 13 and bits about the different slants on our thoughts we have were interesting.
NLP is a tricky subject to find great books on. I am still trying to find the best NLP introductory book. This was an easy reading and quick book. Not in depth and there are confusing parts. The exercises especially I doubt that someone who doesn't know NLP already, are difficult and unclear. It is however for the moment the best short, easy reading NLP introduction.
Nice easy book to introduce yourself to NLP. Has hand tip along the way with examples. More read of a deeper and detailed nature probably require to fully applying NLP to change.
