Product reviews for Mindworks
Deborah Rose, Therapeutic Hynotherapist for Stress Free Caring In the City www.stressfreecaringinthecity.org
Much more a brilliant, compelling storytelling book that is taking you on marvellous journey, than a dry NLP manual. This book is skilfully composed with all the NLP techniques (in the form of mini exercises at the end of each section) you'd expect at practitioner level. It exceeds many other NLP books because of its sheer focus on retelling its stories. Rather than cases, they read as gripping short examples, tying in the most familiar and powerful NLP exercises with metaphorical stories.
The book focuses its reader on how to go about building qualities from inside of you. It is explicit about that. It constantly prepares the reader by using the stories to lets you the reader know the real personal purpose for building inner qualities. Thus, the books shift from being a text, to becoming very personal.
Using an easy to read style, often conversational in places. Mind works blends a content that has a New York City Corporate feel about it, with a style you would expect from the Healing Arts being practised anywhere in the world. It's the lovely way the stories connect up the book, that makes the book very approachable, very friendly, whilst combining the most important practical NLP keys, as mini exercises at the end of each section.
It's application.
Teachers of the Arts/Healing Arts or other topics can use this book as a tool to aid guiding and growing the learners creativity. It can also be used very easily for anyone needing an easy accompaniment to taking any form of personal development.
It has a popularist feel about it, that makes a lot of the hype around 'THE SECRET' make sense of for a lot of people. I could imagine, someone like Jordan reading it and enjoying it! Yes, it has a sense of everyday familiarity about it. All radiating from the eye-catching headlines, which interlink the chapters. You can feel a sense of change just by reading the headlines! Familiar with NLP or not, you will feel like an NLP insider and enjoy being fully acquainted with its powerful secrets.
My only drawback is that because the front page is not as compelling at the content. Some people who really enjoy storytelling as a way into personal development may miss out on its treasure.
Highly recommended for book list.
