Description

Neurolinguistic Programming is a process for understanding what makes people tick. When we understand how people think, feel, and act in key situations, we have the raw material with which to make change happen, often quickly and profoundly. In the 1970s, NLP was developed for and by psychotherapists and linguists. When a young lawyer named Greg Prosmushkin discovered NLP, he realized that those concepts-how to communicate with confidence, model excellence, and influence your own and others' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors-were valuable outside a therapy context. He used what he learned to make huge breakthroughs in his trials and succeed as an entrepreneur. When he met Josh Davis, a PhD who studied psychology and neuroscience and NLP expert, they realized that they needed to make NLP available to everyone. The Difference that Makes the Difference is a result of their breakthrough, and in this book, readers learn to: -Read situations and people -Build self-confidence and rapport -Speak so that people truly hear you -Control your mental and emotional state It's time to move past simply waiting and wishing for your life to be different-dive into the science behind change to make a real impact in your life, right now.

Together they have produced a gem of a book that will enable you to help others with problems they are having from poor relationships to career stagnation. More to the point it will help you with issues in your life from lack of motivation to abrasiveness in the workplace. The book is rooted in NLP findings and their personal experience. And it gives you a framework for analyzing why you are stuck. Have you considered, for example, that you deliberately do not achieve your goals because doing so might create other problems you do not wish to deal with This book is a keeper and you should probably read it multiple times at intervals of a few months." --Srikumar Rao, TED speaker, author and executive coach
