Product Description
When people and therapists alike have a problem they can't fix, they call Richard Bandler because he delivers--often with miraculous results. Hailed as one of the greatest geniuses in the field of personal change, and the father of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Richard Bandler has helped tens of thousands of people around the globe rid themselves of 'incurable' phobias, fears, anxieties, addictions, negative habits, and past traumas—often in a single session.
Get the Life You Want is Richard Bandler at his best, sharing his remarkable insights, his controversial signature wit, and more than thirty-five time-tested NLP techniques that will bring about quick and lasting change in every area of your life, from breaking free of toxic or non-productive relationships, to delivering business presentations without a knot in your stomach, to quitting smoking for good.
By putting Bandler's techniques into practice, you can literally change your brain chemistry without expensive drugs or endless therapy sessions; most of all, you can finally learn how to "run your own brain" instead of rehashing the same problems.

RB is listed as the father and cocreator of NLP. So, you may wonder how this latest ode to his love child compares with previous offerings.
Its so refreshing to read a book that explains how to do NLP in plain language.
As he says: "Its not a philosopHy. Its not an ideology. Its not a religion. Its a toolbox."
As you get further into this book you will find exercises for many common life situations, including grief, taking tests, doing taxes, increasing desire, falling more in love, falling out of love, together with applications of well known processes such as the swish pattern, and the fast phobia model for traumatic memories.
Although he did do Visual Squash, I would have loved to see him do more about Parts integration which is my favorite process. I would also like to have seen him elaborate more on the flirting process, darn it.
I particularly liked his take on the fast phobia model.
Years ago Virginia Satir asked him what he thought the dominant instinct in human beings is. He replied 'Survival.' Her answer has stuck with him ever since.
This book shows RB's insight, followed by process and exercise which you can easily do yourself. Its easy to imagine referring to this book first to read RB's take on the situation first before reading another book or manual.
I would certainly recommend this as a best first book for someone new or unfamiliar with NLP. If you're more interested in the Milton and Meta Model of communication, I would recommend Guide to Trance Formations.
Structure of Magic, also by RB with John Grinder is a very important book, as in addition to describing Virginia Satir's Meta Model, it also shows the origin of nlp from linguistics and semantics. That's a more technical though a necessary read.

The "BEST" NLP Book Ever by Mr. Bandler October 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have been collecting, reading, studying and practicing the principles of NLP for the past five years. This book is by far the easiest and most simple book to read and understand.
The best advice I can give about this book is that it is more of a practical application book. Do the exercises in the book to get the most value out of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone that desires to learn how to make changes in their lives.
How to create results in your life October 30, 2008
Richard is the most incredible communicator in first making you aware and then teaching you how you can change the behavior of both yourself and others by learning and applying his techniques. A MUST read for anyone wanting to create better results in their life!
Get the Life You Want October 25, 2008
Richard Bandler's book is probably the most clearly written one I've seen him write. The procedures are illustrated and then summarized into a practical application format. I strongly recommend this book for those interested in learning to use Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

I learned about this book from a institute where i get automatic e mails about NLP. I bought it immediately and i am almost finished. I learned some new mantras which are quite helpful. I like the book in general but the exercises seem a bit boring:-) I will read the book again to do the exercises. I believe this book will change my life, it started already.
