Manual de NLP. Ediţia a III-a - Ghid practic pentru obţinerea rezultatelor pe care le doreşti

Rate this book
A practical, creative guidebook to achieving the results you want using Neuro Linguistinc Programming techniques


Neuro-Linguistic Programming is based on the idea that the human mind is a sort of computer – our verbal and body language are the programmes which allow us to change our own thoughts and influence other people e.g. using body language and speech patterns to create instant rapport with someone else.


We already use such techniques on a sub-conscious level – NLP simply helps us crystalise what we already know. This work book is a basic, at-home NLP course, providing easy-to-follow exercises and reflections to which the reader can return time and again. It addresses topics such as How to Change Emotional State, the Power of Language and Getting Results, and can be applied to all kinds of different areas e.g. business, sport, health.


The NLP workbook is designed to be a basic manual for the beginner in NLP, and also a clear and easy reference manual for practioners and trainers.

My first book on NLP. Not sure if this is representative of NLP in general but I found it all very academic, limiting practical use. Just one example:

"Strategies have three essential ingredients: 1. An outcome 2. A sequence of representational systems 3. The sub modalities of the representational systems"

If you have an academic interest in psychology or an interest in therapy, then this book is of interest. Also, if you have deep-rooted specific issues (psychological or performance) that you are looking to overcome then there it contains some useful tools.

If however you are looking for simple, practical techniques to generally improve your effectiveness, then I think there are much better resources available.

It was OK - I'm not completely clueless about NLP, so I wanted to read something practical in the topic - something that I could actually use.
I made notes about some techniques. The book seems to be written for "practitioners", as I understand, for coaches or helping professionals in a sense, and not so much for your workaday self-help community (where I consider myself to be, still).
Many times I was rather bored with the terminology and the way NLP introduces a lot of new jargon to appear as a "science", or discipline, or school, of sorts. I have no doubt that these techniques work for some, including myself, I was just rolling my eyes about all the non-defined mumbojumbo I had to go through to filter out the valuable stuff.
Overall, maybe it was because it's a very comprehensive book (or at least, it wants to be one, about this topic)? It's definitely perfect for those who are interested in NLP as a coach.

A useful book, absolutely packed with information, it nevertheless wasn't what I thought it was going to be and is only usable with considerable work and reading between the lines, though perhaps this is appropriate since NLP can be presumed to encourage thinking outside the box.

To be honest, I would have appreciated more direct explanation and anecdotal examples, rather than a never-ending stream of new buzz words and jargon, all of which only serves to get in the way of the actual principles and techniques.

There's a tremendous amount of immensely useful and transformative information packed in here, but it does need a lot of work simply to unravel and reframe (an NLP technique in itself) in more immediately useful and practical terms.

As an NLP Trainer, this book in my view is one of the better books on the topic as it is clear and goes deeper than most.

For someone who is wishing to learn NLP, honestly, you'll never really master it from a book. It is best to learn it from a live, accredited training.

I have trained numerous people over the years who have read lots of books on NLP, but only really get it when they complete a live training. If you want to really understand it, be sure to study up to Masters level, you'll be so glad you did.

Acest manual de programare neurolingvistică este foarte practic și util persoanelor care vor depășirea propriei condiții. NLP-ul este o metodă uimitoare și o ramură a psihologiei care prin lucruri concrete îl ajută pe individ să obțină ceea ce își dorește, sau să câștige dreptul de a îndrăzni să viseze la lucruri ce pot fi obținute chiar pe termen mediu-lung.

Cartea este scrisă într-o manieră foarte concisă și inteligibilă, iar faptul că sunt date exemple, date statistice, tehnici de psihologie, metode, etc la fiecare sfârșit de capitol îmi exprimă încrederea cuvenită pe care o merită cu desăvârșire.

Impresia generală despre această carte este aceea că, privind și luând cele mai importante învățături din ea, sintetizând aspectele esențiale având și un background specific în domeniul acesta de specialitate, vei învăța o mulțime de tehnici utile și practici care te vor ajuta să obții ceea ce îți dorești.

Faptul că primul volum al cărții se numește ”Ecologie” este un semn că, pentru orice cititor sau avid de a obține absolut orice, cu orice mijloace și cu orice scop, toate acestea sunt iluzii, utopii, dar și lucruri spre care nu ar merita nicio clipă să ne îndreptăm atenția sau să le dorim. Acest lucru se datorează faptului că anumite lucruri pe care noi le dorim, pot influența negativ viețile celor din jurul nostru, îi pot răni pe unii din semenii noștri, motiv pentru care este recomandat ca lucrurile pe care ni le dorim să fie atât raționale (posibil de obținut), cât și echilibrate în raport cu mediul înconjurător.

De asemenea, printre tehnicile incluse sunt așa-numitele ”ancore” de care dispunem fiecare dintre noi, nu pentru a ascunde/refula un sentiment, ci pentru a avea un sentiment/o emoție pozitivă drept rezervă la unele mai puțin pozitive care vin din partea interlocutorului sau persoanei cu care negociem. ”Nu uita că stările emoționale sunt molipsitoare” este un citat scos din această carte pentru a evidenția importanța sentimentelor pe care noi le avem, pe care le putem schimba în avantajul nostru psiho-emoțional dar și pentru a influența mediul înconjurător pentru a obține ceea ce ne dorim. (Poate fi vorba despre câștigarea unei negocieri importante, de obținerea unui loc de muncă, etc).

Sigur că această carte devine la un moment dat mult prea tehnică/specifică, ceea ce nu este neapărat un lucru rău, dimpotrivă, pentru cei care vor o formare în psihoterapie, este un lucru foarte bun.

Vă recomand să citiți această carte și vă urez lectură plăcută!

"Nu exista oameni lipsiți de creativitate, care sa nu aibă resurse, exista doar stări și dispoziții lipsite de creativitate"

"Nu este posibil sa produci vreo schimbare în minte sau în corp, fără ca perechea lui sa fie automat afectata de aceasta modificare. Când gândim diferit, corpurile noastre se transforma. Când acționăm diferit, ne schimbam gândurile și sentimentele"

"Sensul comunicării nu rezida doar în ceea ce intenționezi tu sa transmiți, ci și în reacția pe care o primești ca raspuns. Aceasta reacție poate fi diferita de cea la care te-ai așteptat, dar nu exista eșecuri în comunicare, exista doar reacții și feedbackuri. Dacă nu obții rezultatul scontat, modifica ceea ce faci. Asuma-ți responsabilitatea pentru comunicare"

Great book for anyone doing an NLP course. I started reading it first before the course and didn't understand much of it. I came back to it after starting an NLP course and suddenly everything made sense. The practical exercises are great in helping you understand the theory and the homework after each chapters helps you deepen the knowledge. Definitely worth reading for every NLP practitioner.

I have certainly enjoyed this workbook. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it was laid out and broken down in very understandable sections. I have marked several places to return to in the future as good references. Thank you, Joseph.

The first NLP Introduction and so much more. This workbook had real actionable information and exercises. The value of this training and technique is far beyond the expense of the book and the time it takes to read it. It's a life-changing experience. I'm thoroughly grateful for the author's efforts and expertise.
