We have chosen to review some of these books for a few reasons. Firstly, many people will tend to review the ‘classic’ NLP books and we thought this might be different, in that we will focus on the classics as well as new examples of NLP literature, and some books that are not specifically NLP, [...]

We have both the first and second editions of this book in the Quantum library. The reference materials are well written and the processes well described, and it is great to find most of the patterns of NLP in one place. You could look at the title and say that it can’t be [...]

This is one of our contentious reviews. We saw this book and thought that it may an example of one of the things that give NLP a bad name, with its focus on ‘getting what you want’. We weren’t disappointed, however, for us the book still has merit.
The book is, on the whole, [...]

This book was reviewed because of the parity to Sensory Acuity, and that this is a skill required of an NLP practitioner at all levels. We are also intrigued by the number of scientific studies that are attributing more credibility to the unconscious mind and the role it plays in everyday life. The [...]

This is was one of those books that requires the reader to dedicate a bit of time and focus to it. Having met Judy on one of the weekends held at the Northern School of NLP I was prepared to make that investment. The writing style helped me stay on track in that, [...]

Whilst we have learned from the many books on nonverbal language, in most instances we subscribe to the ‘body language as an indicator of something’ school of thought. However this is probably the most extensively field-tested we have come across and is illustrated with lots of demonstration photos. Navarro had, by his own [...]

For me this is one of those classic books that are a must read for those interested in the history of NLP. Milton Erikson was one of the original exemplars that, once modeled, became the foundation of the field we know as NLP. This book is a great introduction to Erickson and the [...]
