A Delightful Voyage

Richard Bandler has described Neuro-Linguistic Programming as an "attitude and a methodology that leaves behind a trial of techniques. While all three are represented, "Conversations" delves almost exclusively into the attitude, and philosophy. The book is largely in the form of stories, mostly those of Fitzpatrick's, woven around portions of conversations he recorded with Richard Bandler. The conversations are vintage Bandler, and go a long way to capture many of the concepts he presents in his seminars. This is a guided tour for self discovery and new ideas, not a collection of NLP techniques. There are some great exercises to go through, and there's even an Easter egg hunt. I found I didn't agree with all the concepts and world-views presented, yet I came away with a sharper sense of my own values along with some new perspectives. I read the book cover to cover, return to it from time to time. It's well worth experiencing.

The only time I ever bought more than one copy of a book

Not only did I buy a copy for myself, I bought copies to give to my friends. Whatever one might think of RB, I for one would have to acknowledge he has introduced a very radical and different way of thinking about human behaviour which actually works. I have used his techniques and principles on a daily basis as a doctor with benefit to both me and to my patients. I was taught by OF (and his business partner, Brian) and feel learning NLP was one of the best things I have done. This book distills the principles of NLP and applies them to everyday life and our problems as we trek through our lives. It could be called "how to live a happy life" "Life, and how to survive it", or "how to live a successful life", but I feel this might be an overused and over simplified title for what this book teaches. The title of the hardback book was longer, "Conversations, Freedom is everything and love is all the rest". I feel it gave a better idea of what the book was about. This book works. You will feel better after reading it, but you may not get the best from the book reading it like a novel, read from cover to cover and put down. It is best to treat it like a novel and a workbook, and you will feel an awful lot better if you do the exercises!!!

A must have for those interested in being all you can be.

I've read the book and not only did it change me - I literally caught myself behaving after a much more useful fashion - and also analysing the writing gave me a great insight in hypnosis and the best uses for NLP, DHE and NHR. RB & OF are guides, just that. Allow them to show you some different things and you might be delighted with the results. It simply encompasses all important things in life, from achieving a goal to relating better to anyone and everyone to being more centered in an everchanging world. And it gets better.

Conversations written by Richard Bandler and Owen Fitzpatrick is absolutely amazing to read. It follows the typical life issues that one man discusses with the other and shares the experiences and beliefs that have emerged from their experience. I certainly got immense learning from this book and read it from time to time to remember not too forget the valuable life tool. [...]
