Human beings are creatures of habit in what they think, feel and do. Some of these habits are useful. They enable us, for example, to drive to work without ever consciously thinking of our route, how we turn the car wheel to change direction, move through the gears to pick up speed or use the brake pedal to slow the vehicle. Freed from all this, we can occupy our minds with how we will approach the first lesson of the day, when we are going to call in a plumber to fix the leaking overflow pipe and whether we have enough food in the house for dinner. However, some of our habits can be ineffective, limiting or even undermining. Neuro-linguistic programming seeks to help people to understand their own individual patterns, how they have been formed by one's past, how they affect one's present and how they can affect one's future.
The NLP Coach combines the techniques of neuro-linguistic programming with coaching. The authors provide self-coaching techniques which, the authors claim, will "help the reader to develop self-esteem, enhance relationships, improve memory, accelerate learning, generate better physical and emotional health, make work more rewarding, reach one's full potential and become more spiritually alive". The book explains about neuro-linguistic programming and coaching in detail, rehearses the neuro-linguistic programming tools, highlights what success and failure can mean and examines the dimensions of success which are critical to achieving one's goals.
Written in a user-friendly style, the book provides plenty to interest anyone interested in clarifying and reaching their goals.
