My Father was a solicitor (lawyer) in the UK and a consummate professional. He inspired me in my formative years and guides my values and beliefs to this day. Professionalism has, therefore, been my guiding star. Since 2005, my focus and driver have been to give a framework of Professionalism to the unregulated field of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, which I believe in passionately. The books I have chosen for this list echo this passion…for making NLP accessible and credible and expressed in such simple terms with powerful, inspirational, and research-backed concepts and teachings. They continue to help shape my world, and I hope they can inspire you, too!
I loved the book for its language… a straight-talking introduction to NLP and how it can positively impact your life. The book makes NLP accessible and understandable, which is key for those curious about NLP.
I love to reach into this book for snippets when I want to explain a technique or strategy in a clean and comprehensible way to someone!

This was the first NLP book I read! It is so easy to understand and so relevant to using NLP in the workplace. I love the language used to describe the application of NLP in the work environment and life, and it describes NLP itself in clear terms.
Applying the information in this book to my work situation at the time made a huge difference in how I interacted with my clients. This book is one of the best examples of effective language, using simple terms and fabulous examples and metaphors. It was a great starting point for me on my NLP journey.

Welcome to THE book on NLP. The essence of NLP is the ability to study and reproduce excellence in yourself and to support others to do the same. NLP AT WORK helps you do that by developing an attitude of curiosity, naivety and learning - and giving you the ability to improvise with skill in real-time.

This is an evolutionary strand of NLP for me. I am interested in how neuroscience applies to my field, and this book was a mind-opener. I had always used the term “gut feeling” or “my heart says…” and now the science backs me up, too!
This book and its concepts really speak to my own experience of the world around me and give me new ways to communicate and relate to people in most situations I encounter. Both authors have their roots in NLP, and both expand the field in which I live. They do it in such a way that makes the progression seamless, understandable… and really powerful!
