I recommend this CD very much. It is interesting, very easy to understand, simple and fun. It is a good begining on NLP.

I can't claim to know much about NLP, but I didn't learn much about it from this CD. The premise is that some geniuses distilled the principles and techniques of successful living through observations they made of some other geniuses. These secrets to life have been magically transformed into easy mind games that this CD teaches you how to play when confronted with any challenge. For me there just wasn't enough substance or critical thought put into the presentation to buy into it. Also, the narrators' tone reminded me of a parent talking to a 3 year old, or an owner talking to a dog. I guess if you find most written and spoken publications challenging to understand, then this one will be good for you.
For those who value logic and rationality in their lives, this CD will leave you unsatisfied.

I found the book worth reading, but most of the exercises were quite complicated and drawn out.

The concept is amazingly simple -- visualize things according to the way you want to rank them in your mind, and you can actually change your perception of things. "Neurolinguistic Programming," as a term, is a catch-phrase, like "laser clear." There is no computer involved, but the theme and ideas do give the listener a more positive way of looking at everything, and a way of distancing from the bad news.
I listened to both CD's more than twice each, and they do run 2 hours. Of course, I listened to them where we listen to anything CD or tape -- in the van. It was understandable, clear English, and well-explained concepts. For instance, you can think up a very negative experience in your life, one that really threatens you and holds you back today. Any of us can think one of these up. We all have these, somewhere back. Most likely, it's in full color. What the narrators urge is that you try imagining that experience in dull black and white, and picture it smaller than it usually looms. See it as though from the outside. Basically, you're putting it in it's place, and making it less critical to your life view, so you can move past the negative.
The narrators also urge imagining those really good, positive experiences in full living color. Some people underemphasize their positive experiences and overemphasize their negative experiences. Forget this! Do the opposite, partly by putting the bad in dull black and white, and the really good in full color on a larger screen.
No doubt the above is far more simplistic than the 2 hours of narration make it. The narration, however, is close to the edge of lackluster, almost to the point of falling off. It a listener actually did what the narrators suggest -- listen to it at home, instead of while doing something else, like driving -- it would be sheer drudgery. There are qualities that are hard to duplicate in a studio, without an audience. Ask any voiceover speaker who does radio commercials and short TV spots. I've heard it in studio-edited tape after tape. CD's are not excluded from this. I would suggest that narrators bring about 20 family members and friends to any studio where they plan to narrate something like this, so there will be a live audience that makes the speaking seem more natural, more lively, and less labored.
All that aside, while it is not exactly Tony Robbins LIVE, "NLP -- The New Technology of Achievement" is a good listen-to while driving, far superior to most radio stations and worth the very reasonable price tag.
