Summary: the book is not the map is not the territory in not the.....
Comment: After years of NLP study with anybody who was anybody in that day and age, I reluctantly came to the conclusion that the NLP model was critically flawed. In some cases it would produce results, in too many others the results were ambiguous or transitory. John Grinder took it to mean one thing that was wildly different from what Richard Bandler took it to mean, and the divergences proceeded apace.
NLP itself is founded on deep presuppositions. For reasons unknown, likely that no parties involved want to rock the boat too hard, rather typical late phase conceptual institutional silt up of previously free running energy ducts... for instance, there is a operant model that the mind uses distinct
submodalities, (a grandiose term for the way you represnt your thoughts) that have crisp distinctions between Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Olfactory, Gustatory, etc... "presentations".... however, these modes never were as cleanly delineated as the instructors held that they were...much thinking appeared to be a shifting organsism that had elements of these categories, but were not purely and distinctly one or the other.
The entire NLP Establishment has failed, in my personal view, to adequately question the accuracy of this piece of NLP gospel... are motivations, prejudices, beliefs, attitudes, self image, REALLY so neatly encoded and so easily manipulated ?
I rather suspect not. The brain appears to be remarkably dynamic and elusive. Certain internal sensations-orientations, as those generated by the Vestibular system, seem to have an essential part in the organizing of the personal world, by vestibular work has been relegated to a more or less insignificant corner, as neither trainers or trainees have much idea what to do with it.
Obviously, this nattrering could continue at length. The most trenchant criticism of the idea of a Users Manual For The Brain is that the descriptive power of the model does not equal the pretensions of the model. The model implies a "last word" understanding of how the mind does what it does. The truth is that this is a limited, dated technology that may have value as one possible cluster of techniques within a larger universe of methods.

Summary: THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO NLP
Comment: This is the second time I have bought this book. That should tell you something. I am giving it to my partner who, with me, will be taking the NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner training courses in June/July. I have read, marked, learned (hopefully), and inwardly digested my copy, and I wouldn't part with it for the world. I study my workbooks, listen to the CD's and the tapes for the course, and then I get out this book and it puts it all together for me. I may not admit this to my teacher, by the way. "-) So, if you are seeking the most informative, comprehensive information about NLP, you need go no further. This is the MAP, not the TERRITORY, but it sure makes getting where you want to go with NLP a less arduous journey.

Summary: The Best NLP Textbook In Existence!
Comment: I've been interested in NLP since the early 1980s, but discovering this book a few years ago brought it all together for me. As others have pointed out, many of the other books on NLP are simply edited transcripts from seminars. This one is different -- it is a college-level textbook, used for that purpose in a community college setting. It is comprehensive, explicit, and extensive.
Like learning anything, you will need to do the exercises and practice in a safe setting. And to get certified as an NLP practitioner, you'll need to attend a certification training. This is the place to start, though -- learn to run your own brain with this book and "Secrets of Personal Mastery" and you'll be well on your way.
