Richard is the most incredible communicator in first making you aware and then teaching you how you can change the behavior of both yourself and others by learning and applying his techniques. A MUST read for anyone wanting to create better results in their life!

I have been collecting, reading, studying and practicing the principles of NLP for the past five years. This book is by far the easiest and most simple book to read and understand.
The best advice I can give about this book is that it is more of a practical application book. Do the exercises in the book to get the most value out of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone that desires to learn how to make changes in their lives.

Richard Bandler's book is probably the most clearly written one I've seen him write. The procedures are illustrated and then summarized into a practical application format. I strongly recommend this book for those interested in learning to use Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

Do you remember the last time you read a book that you couldn't put down? Do you remember how thrilled you felt and wanted to read it cover to cover again and again?

For me, this is a huge banquet feast of a book! While you're learning successful hypnotic methods, your unconscious now wants to enjoy this most pleasurable and successful bouquet of techniques, Richard has provided in this masterwork!

I've found that this book is truly a triumph and contains the easiest path to becoming a master hypnotist, as you gorge on extremely effective and simple methods it contains to optimally change yourself, and others, into your maximized relaxed state!

I'm convinced, yes to day is the day you can pick up true inner power with this easy to learn, easy to apply masterpiece!

Very Impressed! Excellent job Richard!
:D

I learned about this book from a institute where i get automatic e mails about NLP. I bought it immediately and i am almost finished. I learned some new mantras which are quite helpful. I like the book in general but the exercises seem a bit boring:-) I will read the book again to do the exercises. I believe this book will change my life, it started already.

I'll admit I've read Nlp books and felt lost... Even though I knew the teachings were sound and capable of changing your thinking. I just couldn't grasp the "practical" side of applying nlp to my life. But this book changed all that.

It's like you get to sit in on intimate sessions with Richard Bandler as he spins his magical web. Not only that, he hand delivers powerful shortcuts to change almost every area of your life. Only it's not with theory and fluff, but simple exercises you can... and will... use to instantly change your mind.

If you ever wanted to experience the full potential of nlp, or your confused about how to apply nlp to achieve personal and lasting growth, then this will be the best nlp book you will ever read.

P.S. Thanks Richard for sharing this.

Most books on NLP are poorly written and full of jargon that assumes a lot of familiarity with the field. This is especially true of Bandler's books, many of which are transcribed talks from workshops that he has given.

THIS BOOK IS A GEM. Give it to your friends and colleagues. Each chapter deals with a specific type of problem such as a phobia or post traumatic stress . The chapters are short and sweet. At the end of each chapter, he summarizes the process in a one, two, three list. It is sort of NLP for Dummmies. Hat's off to Bandler. He is a giant of psychology and now he finally has written a book for the masses.

I recommend this book strongly to anyone who wants to productively develop themselves in every way that counts. Now sure, the title sounds like a standard title that would put you off, but the information (which is what counts the most) is amazing, yet the most simple, time-tested and powerful principle in the world that works, God's/Existence's Supercomputer: The Mind and how to use it right. So, let it be said here, I fully and wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who genuinely wants to better their lives in any way that is rationally possible to them.

This book is a great read. Richard Bandler is a genius, and his book is filled with his great insights and easy to follow steps to make changes so that you can have more freedom in your life. I trained as an NLP Practitioner with Richard, Paul McKenna and Michael Neill - what an awesome experience! I think that this book is great for anyone, whether new to NLP or already a practitioner.

I just finished reading Get The Life You Want and what is there not to love. The only thing that could be better is if there were volumes more material to purchase. Being a master practitioner of NLP, I appreciate how Dr. Bandler simplifies his techniques.

I was on a conference call with Richard about a week or so ago and we talked about this book and the upcoming release of his hypnotic language patterns book (coming out November).

Here is what I can say from my heart about the man and about this book: Richard loves life, he loves people, and you get that in this book. He doesn't see any need for suffering over time. Whatever is not working for you in your life, Richard knows that you can get through it, over it or to it without suffering over time. He is not about doing it one way, the right way, his way - he is ALL ABOUT doing what works, doing it fast, and creating shifts in your life that impact you immediately and generatively. A generative shift is one that self adjusts over time, giving you access to more freedom, self expression and power in your life.

During the call, Richard shared that the idea for the book came to him while he was cooking. He thought about all the folks who will never walk into a certified NLP training, who may be intimated to delve into Hypnotic Learning Patterns or The Structure of Magic. All at once he knew that after nearly 40 years of change making with people from all walks of life and all parts of the world, that he was the one, (and I say the ONLY ONE) who could write a workable book where foundational NLP techniques and DHE tools are as easy to follow as a recipe for baking a chocolate cake.

He achieved his goal. As soon as I am out of the swimming pool, I am sending you a postcard, dear friend! (Swimming phobia from age 8, professional lessons, prior hypnosis, even a Tony Robbins phobia session did not work; what it took was this book!)

Buy the book. Put your skepticism in your closet long enough to read it. Choose one place in your life where you would like more freedom, power, joy and full self expression. Then take it on. Follow the directions and go for it. There's more than one technique to choose from, so no worry if the first one doesn't get it, go for the next one. My personal favorite, spinning the feelings in opposite directions. This is a big part of what smashed to pieces the real physical phobic responses my body experienced whenever I tried to swim.

If you want to have a life that works in a world that works, this is the book to buy now. No NLP experience required.

"Get the life you want" is a truly comprehensive practical NLP toolset in one book. It is a fabulous NLP Manual - it combines almost all the tools anyone could want to create lasting change - this is truly NLP Unplugged.

As a coach I get countless requests for a book that explains the how-to of NLP in plain language. This book is just that - truly a great leap away from the miriad of over intellectualised NLP books out there. It peels away all the mystery in the first few chapters and gets down to the practical end of NLP - execution and getting on with a great life.

At last! The simple straight forward book that we can all follow, from the man who gave us the techniques in the first place. This site is chock full of other potentially good books on personal development, but so many while being based on Richard's work give him no credit. In this easy to read easy to follow book Richard discusses and lays out the exercises that we can practice in order that we can all develop the life we want and create the happiness we deserve.

The book ably serves many purposes, firstly it is the transformational book that it promises to be, secondly it serves as a great introduction to how NLP can be used for those who might be interested in further study and thirdly it is a great refresher/reference book for those who have gone through practitioner training. In fact in many ways it could be seen a an NLP practitioner manual. I would say, based on personal experience, that the book however good is not a substitute for attending a live training session as it cannot (and is not intended to) replace the benefits of personal interaction with trainers and other participants.

If I were to have one criticism it would be the references at the back of the book that appear to suggest that one should only learn NLP from an SNLP approved trainer as this may limit the number of people who might otherwise recommend the book to their students.

What stands out most about Richard's latest, greatest book is it's simplicity. It is pure, unadulterated NLP.

He broke this book into three pieces:
1. Getting Over It
2. Getting Through It
3. Getting To It

I've been to countless of Richard's trainings and I can easily say he's managed to distill the essence of his work into 210 (fun & easy to apply) pages. Wow!

Thanks Richard.

PS- I hope you have a HUGE post office box for all the postcards...

(get the book and you'll know what i'm talking about)

then you can probably accomplish feats beyond your wildest dreams with this book. This is NOT hyperbole. Richard has soul and it comes through in abundance here. So easy to read and use that I read through it once already and am now going through and doing each and every exercise. Several times. And looking to see what I can create that is not even hinted at in the book. This is pure gold so please buy at least 2 copies. This is the type of book that begs to be given away, shared with family and friends... Let us get Richard on Oprah, Howard Stern, Regis and Kelly and any show that reaches the world. Use this book every day. Be this book. Be the ball, Danny...

I am a hypnotherapist and I incorporate these methods Richard Bandler developed every day in my practice. This is the most accessible book written by Bandler to date. No NLP jargon, no hyperbole. These are strategies that make dramatic changes in people's lives QUICKLY. Are you overweight because you eat for comfort? Are you afraid of public speaking or flying or crossing bridges? Use these techniques or see a qualified hypnotherapist who knows them! The worst thing that could happen is that you kick yourself for not doing it sooner.

as Michael Jordan was to Basketball. This is the closest analogy I could make. Because I know if I or you or most anyone stepped onto the court where Michael has the ball, in one blink, I would have heard the swish and bounce of the ball as its vibrations went up through my shoes into my legs and throughout my whole body, Michael would have scored or Richard would have made a highly personal and deeply meaningful change in your life. He and his work are both physics and magic at once.

This is a great book by the Master of brain programming. Mr.Bandler provided more than thirty-five time-tested NLP techniques that will bring about quick and lasting change in every area of your life. It is an amazing work as it engaged me to continue reading it until I finished reading it.

It is not like any other resource since Bandler provided practical tips to change instantly anything you desire in your life. I went over many NLP resources, success books, law of attractions articles and references but this book stands on top of most.

I recommend it to anyone who really seek quick and lasting change on behavior.
