An engaging
introduction to NLP, through 21 chapters, each focusing on a special
topic: negotiatio, resolving grief, parenting positively,
motivation that works, fulfilling decision-making, and many more.
(See Table of Contents.) This book gives you a "front-row seat"
in following the accounts of people whose lives have been changed
and whose dreams became reality by using their own inner power
to change with NLP. Every reader is certain to find many topics
of personal relevance. The authors include a step-by-step understanding
of how each change occurred, that you can use for those areas
in your life that you want to be different.
Even though this book is written as an introduction, it takes
you quickly into a great deal of depth. You'll find material here
that isn't included in other books on NLP. The chapter on "Personal
Timelines" for example, reveals how to easily uncover our individual
ways of coding time, and how this sometimes forms the basis for
our life struggles, and strengths. You'll learn how gently shifting
this inner coding can melt away difficulties and open up talents
and gifts. Written by two of the earliest and most respected trainers
in the field, the book carries an underlying attitude of heartfulness
coloring the skillful guidance available here.

"I have observed
the psychotherapy scene since the days when Freud was the main voice.
Later brief psychotherapy took a mere six months. Now we have the
30-minute and even five-minute cures of NLP. Speed is not the real
issue. We must be closing in on the actual design of people. The Andreases
are at the forefront of these discoveries. Their new book Heart of
the Mind is a needed presentation of these most useful methods. How
cheering it is for me to find it is all so much simpler and easier
than I had dreamed possible." -Wilson van Dusen, PhD, former Chief
Psychologist at Mendocino State Hospital, CA and author of "The Natural
Depth in Man"
"I have known Steve Andreas for 20 years, and I know that the guiding
force of his life is to find ever more effective ways for people to realize
their potential. In his hands, NLP is a healing force.
Heart of the Mind, written with his partner Connirae, contains a wealth
of understanding that can help people become more fully human. It also
contains the insight and basic honesty that ensures this knowledge is
used wisely and compassionately." -Hugh Prather, author of "Notes
to Myself"
