Extraordinary Solutions to Everyday Problems

I ordered this book because of George Zee's review, and he was right on target. I was looking for a short, concise, well written NLP book for everyday problems. Though not new to NLP, this book gave me new insight on how to apply it to my own life. This has been a problem for me in the past as I tend to view things as too much of a technical exercise at times. O'Connor's writing style is conversational, flows well and is simple to follow. I would recommend it to anyone, and will probably be ordering multiple copies for gifts this year.

Joseph O'Connor has the gift to explain Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) in clear and simple language, illustrated by examples and metaphors. His Introducing NLP (1990)and Principles of NLP (1996) are still the best introductions that I continue to recommend to those interested in the subject. In the present small book he has gone further in utilising NLP insights without any technical lingo at all. Through personal anecdotes, guided exercises and clear explanations, he helps us to change our outlook and ways of thinking so that we'll successfully and easily live a much fuller life with clear goals, less pain, worry and stress and much more appreciation and resourcefulness. Once we learnt the difference between being inside and outside an experience, we can change our internal videos, self-talk and do mental rehearsals. We can also welcome criticisms. This book is especially recommended to those who are new to NLP. I wish the author will continue to write more books in this format.
