"Unlimited Power" is not really an NLP book. It's more of a traditional Self-Improvement style book. So why have I reviewed it on a site about NLP books? Because its a great book, that's why, and it covers several practical NLP techniques that are appropriate to the main elements of the book. If you know absolutely no NLP, or would like a good "Self-Improvement" book, that actually delivers, or need a good kick up the behind, then this is the book for you. This makes it one of those rare self-help books, that tells you what to do, and shows you how. Tony covers a lot of ground with this book. There is a lot of general self-improvement, such as goal setting, diet, and communication skills, and of course there are plenty of exercises to get you going, and to help you improve your skills. |

Unfortunately, for Tony, and for us, "Unlimited Power" was a one off. Afterwards, Tony wrote "Awaken the Giant Within", a book I was personally very disappointed in. On "ATGW" Tony dropped the NLP connection completely, coming up with his own development NAC (Neuro-Associative Conditioning). This seemed to me to be a case of "Not-Invented Here", something that seems to be a major problem with many businesses these days. My biggest criticism of NAC is the last word "conditioning". One of the strengths of NLP is its speed and scalpal-like approach. NAC seems to be designed to avoid any overlap with NLP as much as possible, and due this this it seems lacking. As a general self-help book, its not bad, but the NLP is completely missing, so if you haven't read anything by Tony, please check out this book. |
