Creating a world to which people want to belong

This book, based mostly on the transcript of one of the Tools of the Spirit seminars, provides an informative and useful substitute for those who did not have the privilege to attend one. Though you'll miss the energy and transforming effect of the experience in a whole group, you can still get the flavour of the stories and various exercises. Robert Dilts and Robert McDonald are excellent facilitators and presenters. In contrast to the early arrogance in the NLP world, bragging quick fixes and all kinds of techniques for change, this book and the seminars it was based on, bring a much fuller perspective of death and shadow, rebirth, the "heart" and the spiritual dimension into NLP. People with apriori definitions, prejudices and expectations whenever "Spirit" is mentioned may have difficulty with such a book. But for anyone interested in growth into wholeness, this book is an excellent tool. Robert Dilts' article in appendix B, "Bringing Light Into the Darkness: The Principle of Positive Intention", if really understood and lived, will already transform the world.
