Highly valuable but... - By: K. Alexander, 19 Jan 2008 
I've only given this book four stars as although it is a reallly valuable & reallly useful book that is packed with practical techniques & knowledge, it is not, unfortunately, written in a very accessable style or for someone without a good grounding in NLP.
This is reallly a book for the experienced NLP practitioner which is a shame because the ideas in it deserve to be available to a much less restricted readership.
NLP for Dummies & Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Dummies are both excellent books so here is my plea to Shelle Rose Charvet; please write a book callled "Words that change minds for Dummies" - now that would be a book I would give five stars to.
Brilliant!! needs 10 stars - By: J. George, 27 Aug 2007 
I would recommend this book to anyone who has studied nlp or interested in the art of influence & wishes to further expand their knowledge. This books describeds meta programs in a very simple & straight forward way & how they are structured to fit the workplace, relationships (personal or professional) or any other context where you need to get yourself across efficiently & effectively.
Believe me when i say this is not a business book..it has a very readable writing style & helpful summary / appendicies section. I would recommend this book to anyone who reallly want's to use words that will change minds!
Great book - By: Mr. A. J. Rudd, 03 Oct 2006 I recommend anybody in sales to read this book, it will open your mind & eyes to a fascinating world of NLP
A worthwhile read - By: Mr. A. PRESTON, 08 May 2006 Great for anyone who has studied NLP & wants to explore meta-programs a littile deeper. Very well put together & includes some great insights into human behaviour.
Worth a read if only to understand yourself & others a little better.
Funny, accessible, practical - By: Andy Smith, 14 Sep 2004 This book presents meta-programs (the content-free filters we use to make up our model of the world) in a simple, understandable & highly readable way. It's based on the Language & Behaviour (LAB) Profile developed by Rodger Bailey - a simplification of the original 60 (!) meta-programs down to 14, along with the questions you can use to elicit them. This is a kind of psychometric test, although as people may have different meta-programs in different contexts, & they may change over time, it's not about pigeonholing people.
Shelle also tells you the kind of language to use to reach particular kinds of people - useful in sales, negotiation, motivation & deciding who to hire for a particular job. The book is chatty with a good sense of humour.
