In reply to Tim Brownson.

Thanks Tim.

I’ll certainly go and check out the book you mention.

In my therapeutic field, there is a big need for more evidence and empirical data to support what we do and the NLP stuff is often left wanting, so I love hearing about new developments supporting its efficacy.

Speak soon mate… PM coming your way later today 🙂

That was a cracking post mate and it pisses me off because I read so much crap that is followed by dozens of people saying “Great post” to some 25 year old that just regurgitated part of 7 Habits or whatever book he or she happened to be reading at the time.

Have you read Your Brain At Work by David Rock? Very, very cool and it’s great that some of the latest brain research is starting to explain why a lot of stuff we use actually use with clients works at a cellular level.

Finally there is hard scientific proof that anchoring works and that fake it till you make it works. And that failing makes us get better and so on on and so forth.

I’m rambling now, so I better go walk the dogs. (they’re not red by the way)
