Not to blast anything posted here but I didn't even understand the first thing about NLP (even after going to Mastery University, which was a complete waste) until I got the Illusion Conclusion Course by Jerry Stocking-
www.jerrystocking.com and coincidentally I'm selling mine on ebay because I'm done with it.
Using nlp to "GET" something is pretty much useless but using it to learn about yourself and how you think so you can start to strip those useless thoughts away, it's pretty good for that. What Tony Robbins does is "self-get" not "self help." If you really wanted to help yourself you would throw out all the useless junk in your life and enjoy the space created, not clutter your mind with more garbage that takes up more room and creates more pressure than was there in the first place. The best thing about NLP is the "Patterns" thingy. All the other stuff is for GETTING stuff but you all know already that to get PR to work you have to strip away the 90% of the book that you don't want. Do that with life too. Kick the morons out of your life, and you have a pretty good life without having to do anything, don't you?
"Thinking Clearly" by Jerry Stocking is a pretty cool book as is his Illusions course. I've getting into his advanced stuff now in the time I have when I'm not throwing another parasite out of my life. As you can tell, I've almost thrown the internet out too but I figure a day a week won't kill me.
