This book is the documentary, with added notes and stories, of John Grinder and Judith DeLozier’s five day seminar, Prerequisites To Personal Genius. The participants were led through a series of demonstrations and exercises which enabled them to expand their perceptual filters and overcome limiting self-beliefs.

I enjoy having a theory that covers everything, at least at a broad 50,000ft view, and one which also makes some sense right down to the microcosms that we live with. It is efficient to have a unifying theory, but it also makes sense. Having already studied Spiral Dynamics which for me makes sense of all the different theories of human behaviour, T.O.E. provides a wider view. Ken Wilber explains in a lot of detail how the All Quadrants, All Levels and eventually All Lines works as a model and it makes a lot of sense. He also describes many of the institutions, cultural movements and other things and shows how they have a vMeme view, rather than AQAL.
Ken Wilber’s book, A Theory of Everything will either give you the answers to how systems and concepts integrate, or it will give you more questions than what you started with. Either way, you will be better for it. |

Influencing with Integrity is a great book to put some of what you may have learned in NLP into practice and use the skills and processes to truly influence those around you with integrity. The focus is worthy, and the subtle perspective is stll refreshing even though the book was written and first published in 1983.
For those who enjoy to read and yet learn with some visuals, this appeals as many concepts are laid out in a unique way, bringing more insight into the deeper aspects of some areas we may take for granted. This book is not directed at any specific use (ie. parenting, business or selling), but can be useful for any of these areas, giving you a great grounding in what you are doing with NLP. The focus is on Management Skills for Communication and Negotiation as the title implies. This book has good reviews by many authorities, including John Grinder and Richard Bandler, and has been cited by over 90 other authors in their books also. |

The New Peopelmaking by Virginia Satir
I can not praise this wonderful book enough! Love, compassion, wisdom, insight and practical tools that everyone can use are all in this one book. Speaking as a step mother with three boys, age from 16 to 21, we, as a family have benefited greatly and continue to do so. I personally have learned some impressive (little self praising is healthy, as it seems to me, our family is good at praising each other but not ourselves) skills and smooth over many situations. Speaking as a coach and therapist, Virginia has supplied us with more tools, so simple yet so effective. Thank you Virginia - your legacy lives on.

When HR manager Donna Alder had to oversee the outplacement of 700 people at healthcare company GlaxoSmithKline on Merseyside, she drew on the communication tools she had acquired from a course in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). “I wanted to make sure that people could leave the site with their heads held high,” she says. “I ran group and one-to-one workshops covering subjects such as choosing attitude. I drew on the NLP philosophy that ‘change happens every second of the day’.”
Alder is among a growing number of HR professionals to get involved with NLP - a psychological approach that claims to ‘re-pattern’ individuals to achieve anything, Read the rest of this entry »

When I was asked to review Sue Knight’s updated book, the first thing I did was ask: what is NLP? I discovered that neuro linguistic programming is the study of what works in terms of thinking, language and behaviour, and how these things can be coded, modelled and replicated to achieve consistent excellence in all areas of work and personal life.
The second thing I did was to mention the book to five colleagues. To my surprise I received five strong reactions: Read the rest of this entry »

NLP Café Brisbane How do we go about forgiving the unforgivable? Many people have said they couldn’t possibly forgive certain acts, certain ways they were treated; in fact it is irrational to forgive for some people. A rational person, when hurt, should react to protect themselves for as long as it is necessary to ensure survival, but at what cost? To forgive does not mean to forget. The challenge here is to forgive and learn so it will never happen again! Learn the power of forgiving and remembering - this is a wonderful pattern developed by Robert MacDonald with great compassion.
For Therapist: Enhance your skills by learning a pattern that will greatly help your client with gentleness and minimum contamination of the client’s model of the world.
For Parents and Managers: Master this skill and use yourself as an example for people who are in your life.
For Individuals: Create new depth of self understanding, profound insight and the power of choices in life.

A client came to me because she just can not decide if she should start her own business and leave the family business, that her father wishes she can take over one day. She has been struggling with making a decision for six months, and she was feeling extremely stressed, guilty with an array of self doubts.
One of the exercises I took her through sent her spinning in her head and got her to think of her dilemma from a very different perspective. Here are the questions that I asked her Read the rest of this entry »

You grow up in the calm waters of the great lakes, then when your time has come, you proceed toward the Niagara Falls – with no real warning, life just goes that way with the passing of time.

Research shows that adults who make self-to-self comparisons often are more successful and experience less personal stress than those who are driven by comparisons to others - like an Olympic performer, striving for their personal best.
Comparing yourself to others is natural for all of us, but it is only helpful if we are inspired by other’s achievements and strive to realise our potential. When comparing with others, it creates a sense of “I can never do it” or in some cases “shame” or negative self-image; the comparison is impacting on our self-esteem.
Self-other comparison is one of the major causes of low self-esteem. When children or adults compare themselves with others, they often experience emotional Read the rest of this entry »
