Product reviews for Improve Your Writing with NLP

L. Michael Hall, Ph.D., Co-Developer of Neuro-Semantics and Meta-Coaching, author of over 45 books in the field of NLP
If you are interested in writing and you want to tap into the genius of the NLP Communication Model, Judith Pearson's new book is just the book for you! Why do I say that? Because here is a solid, NLP-based book that uses and applies many of the very best patterns to bring out your own very best as a writer.
In this book you will find a lot of practical suggestions on how to think about writing, how to organize yourself as you write, how to get yourself into the best mental and emotional states to write, and how to use the three dimensions of the Disney Creative Strategy so that your writing is creative, realistic, and refined.
I like the book, and I think you will too, because what the author recommends, she practices. That is, the book itself, Improve Your Writing with NLP, is a good example of how to improve your writing with NLP. And part of her congruency as a writer is that she has taken the time to know the field of NLP, and then use the best of NLP in the book. You will find that, as a professional, Judith has given credit to other works on writing and, further, she uses much of The POWER Process by Sid Jacobson and Dixie Elise Hickman to guide the writer. So instead of reinventing the wheel, she refers to what Jacobson and Hickman have already developed -” that's a sign of a professional who does not feel threatened by other works in the same area.
I like this book and, from my perspective, it will really help this field. After all, we need more writers, and better writers, in the field of NLP! And Improve Your Writing with NLP is an excellent book that will help to create more and better writers. So I highly recommend it. It is practical, down-to-earth, and comprehensive and will enable NLP people to learn how to write with more clarity, precision, and inspiration about NLP itself.
For years I have been teaching a 3-day writing workshop that I call “Writing Genius” and what I find in this work is that Improve Your Writing with NLP highlights everything that I focus on and emphasize in that training. Now what is it that they say about great minds?
In this book you will learn several strategies about the process of writing ... and Judith offers lots of questions to help guide your thinking about that process. She uses a lot of NLP patterns to address the challenges of writing. And all of these things make the book very practical.
How do you get in rapport with your readers? Judith shows you how! Using perceptual positions, getting engagement, answering the “what's in it for me?” question. And what if you are not a writer and don't plan to be a writer? Judith quotes me as saying that one of the reasons I write is to learn. In fact, I write to learn and, by writing, I incorporate my learning in my own words. Writing helps me learn. And it can help you learn as well. Bottom line: Go buy this book!
