Neuro-Linguistic Programming is based on the idea that the human mind is a sort of computer – our verbal and body language are the programmes which allow us to change our own thoughts and influence other people e.g. using body language and speech patterns to create instant rapport with someone else. We already use such techniques on a sub-conscious level – NLP simply helps us crystallise what we already know. This workbook is a basic, at-home NLP course, providing easy-to-follow exercises and reflections to which the reader can return time and again. It addresses topics such as How to Change Emotional State, The Power of Language and Getting Results, and can be applied to all kinds of different areas e.g. business, sport, health. The NLP workbook is designed to be a basic manual for the beginner in NLP, and also a clear and easy reference manual for practitioners and trainers.

Neuro Linguistic Programming is the systemic study of human communication and how we create our subjective world with all its pains and pleasures. It is also the study of exceptional talent: how outstanding individuals and organisations get their results. With NLP everyone can be naturally talented.

NLP is not only a collection of effective techniques, it is also a way of thinking based on curiosity, exploration, and fun.

The ‘NLP Workbook’ is a complete guide to NLP and includes:
• The principles of NLP clearly explained in an easy-to-follow format
• All of the basic NLP techniques and training exercises
• A guide to what techniques to use where

Some of the topics discussed in detail are: rapport and trust, changing emotional states, how to visualise, negotiation skills, mental rehearsal, the language of the conscious and the unconscious, and coaching.
