Words That Change Minds: Mastering the Language of Influence 2nd edition If I would have bought this book first, before buying any other, it would have been my only purchase, for a while. Until I would have digested the material.
It lies at the core of NLP and the communication process. Shelle Rose Charvet has a unique insight into the subject that is easy to grasp. Not only can you understand what she is writing about, but she also provides plenty of clear and easy to understand examples.
It is the only book that I carry with me all the time. I really do not have a desire to finish it, much less rush the process.
Each paragraph is full of relevent information that triggers associated experiences, which you start using immediately to create your own scenarios and start experiencing what you've read.
Summary: Empowerment
Rating: 5
A must-read-book!This book is an excellent choice to empower yourself and others. It touches the exact points of everyday life; especially in the workplace when dealing with supervision and co-workers.
Summary: The title of this book is decieving
Rating: 1
This book is a human resource management book covering different areas in HR management with many boring and tedious examples. The book focuses on interview setting questions, employement and hiring. I was looking for a book on language, word structure and influencing techniques but this book is the complete opposite. In addition, this book does not have a "search inside" option nor a description.
Summary: Brilliant
Rating: 5
I would recommend this book to anyone who has studied nlp or interested in the art of influence and wishes to further expand their knowledge. This books describeds meta programs in a very simple and straight forward way and how they are structured to fit the workplace, relationships (personal or professional) or any other context where you need to get yourself across efficiently and effectively.
Believe me when i say this is not a business book..it has a very readable writing style and helpful summary / appendicies section. I would recommend this book to anyone who really want's to use words that will change minds!
Summary: Informative with simplicity and clarity
Rating: 5
This book is easy to read and very informative. If you have done NLP training you would have come across the Meta Programs, then this book takes your learnings to another level and gives indepth information on behaviours of people. A must read if you want to increase your ability to read people and their behaviours. |
