Understanding NLP: Strategies for Better Workplace Communication... Without the Jargon ReviewThe one thing I guarantee you won't get from this book is an 'understanding of NLP'. Instead, and Im not joking, you'll get a complete MISunderstanding of NLP.
You can begin to understand what I mean if I tell you that there is a glossary at the back which claims to explain 44 words and phrases. But oh dear, over half of the explanations are wrong, and several others are definitly doubtful.
Look at the entry for Eye Accessing Cues for example:
- the ways in which eyes move in one direction as compared with others to indicate what a person might be thinking. Different eye directions denote, for example, honesty, thoughtfulness, dishonesty, etc.
You WHAT?! A person MIGHT be thinking 'honesty' thoughtfulness' or 'dishonesty'? The eye accessing cues have nothing to do with honesty or dishonesty or what a person 'might be thinking'. They tell you what sensory system a person is accessing based on their eye movements. That's why they are called EYE ACCESSING cues!
Have these people never seen a copy of the basic eye accessing cues chart? Have they never heard about visual construct and visual recall? Seems they haven't.
But my favourite entry is for, Away from. The authors never mention meta programs, in the glossary or the index, but they seem to have a thing about the meta program known as Towards / Away from, which they refer to several times. So this is their explanation of Away from:
- this indicates someone's tendency to move in the opposite way to their preferred logical preference. This is a negative preferred logical preference'? Do we have some preferences we prefer s compared to a positive tendency.
Even if we don't notice that this description makes no sense, we have to ask what is a 'preferred logical preference'. There is no such term in any NLP book I know of? So what kind of NLP are we supposed to be understanding when we read this book?
A very weird kind of NLP with no known equivalent in the real world - that's what kind. As we can see in this passage from quite early on in the book:
'NLP calls on various manifestations of psychology including Freudian thinking on ego states. The hypothesis, in simple terms, is that at any given time we are all in (or in and out of) one of three ego states. These are nominated as Parent, Adult and Child and relate to any of the 'transactions' that we have with another human being. The system is called Transactional Analysis as it analyses what is going on when two people interact.'
There's only one thing wrong with this claim - it has nothing at all to do with NLP. Transactional Analysis is Transactional Analysis and NLP is NLP and neither is the same as the other.
NLP has nothing to do with Freudian ideas or the Parent/Adult/Child model (invented by Eric Berne about fifty years ago) or with TA. So where on earth did the authors of this book get such an idea? Not from any authentic NLP source, that's for sure.
At the front of the book the authors say: 'We have used NLP in practice for years ...' But if what they've put in this book is what they think NLP is about then I don't think they've done that at all. This is just a couple of hundred pages of the kind of low level, vague, commonplace claims and comments you can find in one or other of hundreds of pop business self-help books. All with the letters NLP stuck in front to make it trendy would be my guess.
Sadly this isn't the first book to use this approach, and almost certainly won't be the last.
But that doesn't change the basic fact that reading this book will give you a serious MISunderstanding of NLP.

Let the buyer beware!
