The depth and breadth of topics covered cannot be faulted. For anyone looking for detailed information about all aspects of NLP this one text is essential for you.'

Secondly, the handbook is comprehensive and logically sequenced...Thirdly, the 20 sets of personal exercises allow for assimilation of knowledge and skills, as well as reflection and deeper self-knowledge and understanding. Fourthly, the handbook can be read as a textbook from beginning to end (which for a novice I would recommend) or for dipping into to expand current knowledge levels or as a reference or revision aid for more advanced readers. Fifthly, this handbook provides for continuing professional development at a personal level and within our professional roles as staff developers in respect of interviewing, appraisal, coaching, training, making speeches and presentations and negotiation skills.
