Can NLP books be a substitute for Training? |

In my opinion, I feel that you can learn a fair amount about Neuro-linguistic programming from books but you hit the limit fairly quickly. Before taking my Practitioner Training I read everything I could get hold of and was still shocked by how much more I learnt and how different my view of NLP was after a practitioner training. Really I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised. Can you learn to ride a bike from a book? Or learn to swim? | |||||||||

Why should NLP be any different? OK, so it's not a physical activity (Well it can be - You only have to watch someone like Michael Breen to realize that movement can be an elegant way for changing state and anchoring), but it is a learned skill. To perform NLP well, the Practitioner must be dealing with lots of simultaneous activities (more than the standard 7 plus or minus 2). The only way to do this is to handle some of the activities subconsciously. This is something that books fail to deliver, but a good training provides. If you are interested in reading, and there are many books on NLP (probably too many in my opinion), please checkout my reviews of NLP books. I have tried to ensure that you have a good idea of which NLP books are most useful, and which are good for beginners, but if you think a training may be for you, then please read my article entitled "Should I take a training?" |
