When it comes to NLP Book reviews there are far too many NLP books to review them all, and far too many "me-to" type books. As a general rule a beginner is better off sticking to the big names. Richard Bandler, Robert Dilts, Steve Andreas, and Paul Mckenna are easy to recommend. I exclude John Grinder (one of the co-developers of NLP) from my NLP Book reviews simply because his work, while worthwhile, is too advanced for most beginners. More NLP book reviews will appear from time to time, so please check back regularly. If there are any books that you would like an opinion on, then please contact PlanetNLP.com.

General Book Reviews

The following books are particular good for someone new to NLP, and provide a good foundation of the enormous range of skills that a good NLP practitioner requires:

• NLP for Dummies - why the hate?
• NLP: The New Technology of Achievement
• Using your Brain for a Change
• Time for a Change
• Unlimited Power
• Conversations

Book Reviews for specific Issues

There are many books offering NLP as the solution to specific issues. Currently I have only reviewed Paul McKenna's books, not because his are the only books of value, but that they are of a good quality, and I really like Pauls style of writing. The cds are excellent too.

• Seven Days
• Instant Confidence
• I can make you Thin
• I can make you Rich

NLP and Hypnosis Book Reviews

Without Hypnosis, there would probably be no NLP. Using NLP to teach hypnosis is a no-brainer. These are the books I recommend:

• Transformations
• The New Encyclopedia of Stage Hypnosis
• Training Trances

NLP and Persuasion Book Reviews

NLP, Persuasion, and Sales have been associated for many years, and there are many books on the subjects. Personally, as in all areas of NLP I tend to stick to the writers who offer trainings and whom have a good reputation.

• Persuasion Engineering
• Covert Persuasion
