Product reviews for The NLP Cookbook

The NLP Cookbook represents years of modelling of human behavioural patterns. Fran has condensed these years of knowledge and experience into the recipes of the Cookbook and has produced a piece of wisdom, which has benefits for the novice, the expert and all those between. The fact that the techniques are based on observations of human behaviour means that they work at a high level of patterning and can create significant change for the client.

I have used the recipes with my clients, often to raise awareness by bringing new information to the client's attention and sometimes to consolidate work done in sessions. I am always impressed by the relevance of the different techniques to our behavioural patterning. I have also used the techniques myself as a way of developing my relationship with my own work and inspiring my sense of purpose.

The philosophy supporting Fran's work is true to the Presuppositions of NLP, for example, by working within an outcome focus and by emphasising that the client has all the resources within to achieve their desires. From the first page the facilitator is encouraged to stand back and let the client own the space and the change. As such it makes an valuable philosophical statement in today's world of NLP.
