Get The Life You Want: The Secrets To Quick And Lasting Life Change With Neuro-Linguistic Programming (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
I was very disappointed in this book for several reasons: The foreword, note from editor, preface, & introduction were so long & basically just explained what the book was about (um...isn't the title of the book a pretty good indication?). The main thing that bothered me most was that the author was very repetitive in his wording, so I was basically reading the same paragraph twice in a row throughout this book. Not only that, but some of the chapters didn't even apply to me, so it wasn't relateable. & one of his methods just plain didn't make sense to me, so this book was of no benefit to me & wasted my time. I started out w/an optimistic attitude, but am very disappointed! If you are looking for a book to solve all your problems, this is it! Really.I recently developed a fascination for NLP after discussing it with someone at a party. I had known about Neuro-linguistic Programming for about 10 years but I didn't pay much attention until now. I discovered that my understanding of NLP was mostly wrong and it suddenly became a new hope for me to perhaps overcome problems I've been struggling with for years. There are all sorts on books of NLP but this one jumped out at me. Not only is it written by Richard Bandler, the renowned co-founder of NLP, but it is also brand new and presents a culmination of NLP techniques. It focuses on self transformation, putting an end once and for all to bad habits and creating lasting change. It not only works for all the little things in life, but also offers ways to cure phobias, fears and compulsions and provides practical tools for day to day life. And surprisingly, it really does work.I cannot give this book enough praise. Bandler's approach is incredibly insightful, wise and seasoned with decades of successful application. At first I felt a little silly doing the exercises and found some resistance or mental blocks to it, but I earnestly wanted to change some aspects of myself and stuck with it. And it has paid off! It has helped me in ways that no other rational thinking, book, or psychologist has been able to. Though probably the most important thing I have learned from this book is to use imagination and thinking more creatively to solve problems. It has put me back in control of my thoughts, feelings and future!
