DS:

It's very hard to learn NLP from books. You can get the theory down, but the practice is something that is more auditory. As I learned from Ross Jeffries, I would point to him. His basic Speed Seduction home study course is a few hundred, but I believe it's worth the price. Rex Sikes is also very good, from what I've heard. Although the only thing from him I've ever owned is the Attitude Activator, I have to give him credit for being from Milwaukee.
