It has taken me some time to get through this book. I’m not sure why as it is a really easy read. Probably my unconscious knows something it won’t let on….
So Richard Bandler and John Grinder are the founding fathers of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. This book is a transcript of a workshop they ran back in the 1970s. It is considered essential reading for those interested in NLP and so, having done an NLP Practitioner course last year, I duly obeyed.
The transcript format works really well. They do various demos and even though you can’t see what is happening, you can still understand what is going on. I wouldn’t say you need to read this book if you are interested in NLP but it certainly gives you an idea of what Bandler and Grinder were doing back in the 70s and how they dealt with skepticism.
