Words That Change Minds: Mastering the Language of Influence 2nd edition

Author: Shelle Rose Charvet

In a nutshell… Focused on the WAY we communicate

NLP Keys rating:

This book focuses it’s attention specifically on META programs (the way you interpret and process information such as the words someone says to you, that then leads to the way you subsequently react and the internal representations that are formed). Please don’t be put off by MY explanation of META programs because this author writes in a much more informal and approachable style and you don’t need any prior knowledge of NLP in order to understand it perfectly and learn just how powerful purposeful communication is for business.
