I’ve done a lot of training and consulting, and this book offers a great perspective on the conversations I’ve had every day. Dilts sets a clear framework for how beliefs can be built and reinforced through conversation.

Perhaps I have to read on to find the secret of it all, but I am having a hard time identifying a repeatable way to be thinking “80/20”. The book needs more examples of looking for such data. There’s got to be a better resource out there for spotting relevant axes in order to apply this to any value.

Quite an epic.

Rock out. The cool thing about this book is that most of it was written based on projects I worked on. If I need to clue somebody in to patterns I use, I can just tell him to read this book.

I can’t figure out what I love about Chinaski. As much as he irritates just about every person he meets, he does exactly what I wish I could do his situation.

I’ve been interested in writing better fictional content, and for an engineer like me, this book is a great start. Mr. Cook communicates the fundamentals and nuances of fiction writing with a great breadth of examples, all the while not sounding like a pompous ass.

This is an excellent read for anyone trying to coach or lead people. GROW is a great model!

This is a good introduction to applying NLP in a business setting. Sue Knight describes in simple terms how to frame interactions, but could have done with more detail on the linguistic aspect of NLP.

I loved the Escapist from The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay, and I had no idea it was based on an actual comic.
