Towards the end of 2006 I decided to sample one of Wendy Sullivan and Judy Rees' courses in `Clean Language'. Little did I know that this `taster' would develop into a deep fascination, the start of a journey of learning that continues to unfold. Already I find I can use `Clean' in coaching and mentoring, in supporting student learning in Higher Education, and as a research tool.
Until now, there has been only one book about `Clean Language', James Lawley and Penny Tompkins' excellent `Metaphors in Mind'. It is impossible, though, for a single volume to meet the needs of everyone who would like to learn about this exciting field (think of how many introductions to NLP are on the market!) so it is great to see Wendy and Judy increase the published literature by 100% at a stroke.
What Wendy and Judy provide in this volume reflects all the best qualities of their courses; clarity, practicality, fun and integrity, all presented in a way that is accessible, logically structured and great value. Phew. And with all that, it's something that should sell like what? Hot cakes, if you ask me.
