NLP For Beginners: Only The Essentials (Paperback)

NLP For Beginners: Only The Essentials

Review

“This book is simple and user friendly for the lay person who hasn’t the time or money to do NLP certification training. It gives you all of the information that they teach you in those $3,000 one week programs. Lately, in our organization, we have started teaching the practitioner level using NLP For Beginners as a training manual. We also give a copy of the book to every new student. Most of the book is in Q&A format, and that makes complex concepts easier to understand. There are numerous exercises and techniques, explained in direct language and clear instructions. What this book gives, that a lot of other “intro to NLP” books do not, is a chance to really understand the subject. It’s an overview of all the essentials in NLP, and then some.” –Douglas Walsh, NLP Trainer, Dublin’s Altitude Training Center

This book contains a full NLP For Beginners course, but written in a simple down-to-earth language, so that anyone can understand. (more…)

What Is the World Made Of? All About Solids, Liquids, and Gases (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science, Stage 2)

From School Library Journal

Grade 1-3-A fact-filled, accessible study of solids, liquids, and gases. The book gives examples of each state of matter and some simple activities that demonstrate the attributes of each. The last page presents three related science experiments. The author’s use of sentence fragments, such as “Water flowing in the creek,” is bothersome, but the humorous illustrations add to the text and provide a good mix of children of both genders and various races enjoying science. The page layout makes this title suitable for use with groups; the easy-to-read text makes it a good choice for independent reading and research. Teachers will delight in the clear definitions and examples used to introduce concepts that are often offered on a much higher level.Marty Abbott Goodman, L. J.
