This book is a collection of models and tools written by key innovators in
the field of neuro-linguistic programming. It covers a range of recent
significant developments in the field. The book is the outcome of the effort
and vision of two of the most respected and dedicated individuals working in
NLP today, Michael Hall and Shelly Rose Charvet.

 

 

For those of you who have not discovered neuro-linguistic programming yet,
it is a therapeutic approach which examines the deeper structure of human
behaviour and has developed a set of explicit models, application and tools
derived from this approach.

 

 

Part I covers the way in which NLP has enhanced other applications such as
coaching, business leadership, research, attitudes or mind sets to physical
illness and management. It looks at a number of innovative models such as
Meta-States by Michael Hall where he explores the structure of these complex
layer states. These higher states are not simply primary states, but richly
textured states that involve the most unique kind of consciousness that we
have for our self- reflective awareness. Shelly Rose Charvet deals with LAB
Profiles, decoding language and behaviour to improve communication between
people. Charvet argues that if you pay attention to the language and
behaviour of yourself and others you can gain great insight into what
motivates them, how they think and how they make decisions. Another section
focuses on Social Panoramas: how to change unconscious landscapes to improve
relationships written by Lucas Derks. This is based on the NLP sub-modality
parts. This model rests on the concept of parts and personifications. It
demonstrates how space is more than just another sub-modality but is rather
at the very heart of cognitions. It brings to light a large part of our
unconscious mind that is focused on social calculations.

 

 

Part 11 outlines innovative applications on a variety of subjects and there
appears to something for everyone. How to develop a coaching mind set, the
secrets of entrepreneurial leadership, improvisation and humour in therapy,
overcoming addictions, using NLP in the holistic treatment of cancer,
managing change in business and overcoming stuttering and achieving fluency
are all discussed.

 

 

A part III presents innovative computer tools that can be applied towards
development. The first is the identity compass which deals with mapping Meta
programmes for business success. The second is MPA MindSonar tools for
coaching, team building, personal management and marketing and also Meta
programmes to improve emotional intelligence. The third is job-related: EQ
profiling, assessing personality and reaching personal goals and objectives.

 

 

Part IV deals with Innovative Communities. These are communities (i.e. the
clean community) which is made up of individuals and companies who have
developed a code of conduct, of clean approaches for personal and
professional development. They collaborate and like to learn by doing and
also adhere to clean language and mutual respect. There is a Lab profiling
community and a neuro-semantic community, all made a lot easier now with the
internet and Skype. There is also a chapter on research and recognition for
NLP.

 

 

This is a beautifully produced book, easy to read and it has a great variety
of material in it. As an NLP practitioner and trainer I will be using this
as a resource in the future. I would recommend this book to any NLP
practitioner or any therapists interested in extending their skills.
