Mindworks: An Introduction to Nlp: the Secrets of Your Mind Revealed

Amazon.com Review

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), a group of psychological techniques developed in the early 1970s, has been a huge influence on today’s motivational writers (particularly Tony Robbins).

Anneé Linden, director of an NLP training center in New York City, provides easy-to-understand descriptions of techniques such as mimicking someone’s movements to create an instant sense of rapport and intimacy, or creating a conditioned response in yourself to feel certain emotions on demand. Some might find these techniques uncomfortably manipulative, but Linden says people do them on an unconscious level anyway; NLP is just a new way of coming to terms with what you already know.
