Product reviews for The NLP Cookbook

The idea of using metaphor to get your message across has always been well used by NLPers, and this new book is no exception. The metaphor of cooking is used innovatively and creatively. There is beautiful photography throughout, and the NLP exercises are described as recipes for different outcomes. More suited to people with NLP experience, knowledge and understanding.
Each recipe is coded on a scale from easy to advanced, with information on whether a guide is needed or if the exercise can be done by the explorer alone. Time expectation is also given, and all of this makes it an easy decision to see whether the recipe is good for the situation you would like to use if for.
I have picked out three recipes that I particularly like: 'The State Collage' is an exercise that can be done by the individual to create a visual representation of how to create a desired state. Great for teenagers, I thought, that are working on state management. 'Body Talk' also interested me as a way of innovatively building a relationship with a part of your body that is giving you trouble. This could be used for self acceptance, loving and valuing your body and listening to what your body is telling you. 'Developing a part' uses clean language and an archetype or part of you that you would like to strengthen great for clients who are not getting the results they want in a certain area of their lives.
Clear instructions and scripts are given with each recipe to help you replicate the recipes time and time again, to get a great outcome every time!
