The Complete Manual for
Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner Certification
by
Bobby G. Bodenhamer, D.Min.
L. Michael Hall, Ph.D.

Reviewers have noted this by saying,  'Readable, practical -- presents the heart and soul of NLP.' Part of what makes this work so readable includes: the 'text boxes' that emphasizes key point, introductions for each chapter, discussion questions at the end of each chapter, an extensive bibliography and glossary,

Here you will find NLP sequentially presented so that each section builds on the previous one. With a mixture of presentation, example, thought experiments, case studies, outlines, metaphors, etc. the manual trains both conscious and unconscious minds. For trainers, overhead mats of the material are available.

Cutting-Edge Material: This manual further includes the latest discoveries about submodalities and the Meta-States Model. No other manual anywhere incorporates these two items."

I (BB) believe that the reader will find within these 400 plus pages the single most understandable and readable treatment of basic NLP available today.  Because it has come out of seven years of actual training sessions of NLP, many of your questions will find answers.  All techniques have exercises that follow to lead to behaviorial integration of the materials.

The map is not the territory.

People respond according to their maps.

Meaning operates context dependently.

Mind-and-body inevitably & inescapably affect each other.

Individual skills function by developing & sequencing representational system.

Strategies

We respect the person's model of the world.

Presuppositions about human behavior/responses.

Person & behavior describe different phenomena.

Every behavior has utility and usefulness--in some context.

We evaluate behavior & change in terms of context & ecology.

We cannot not communicate.

The way we communicate affects perception & reception.

The meaning of your communication lies in the response you get.

The one who sets the frame for the communication controls the communicating.

There is no failure, only feedback.

The person with the most flexibility controls things.

Resistance indicates the lack of rapport.

Learning--Choice--Change Presuppositions

People have the internal resources they need to succeed.

All communication should increase choice.

People make the best choices open to them when they act.

As response-able persons, we can run our brains & control our results.
