BRILLIANT YET DISAPPOINTING

Recently I read through Peter Freeth’s The NLP Master Practitioner Manual and from my perspective it is at times brilliant and yet at other times extremely poor in terms of understanding NLP and/or presenting it accurately. How both are present in the same book frazzles my brain. I don’t understand it. And especially since I know and very much admire Peter. He is one of the regular speakers at the NLP Conference who I always seek out and want to hear. Why? Because he is creative, insightful, and playful. I have learned many new twists on things from him. So I had really high expectations for the book. While I really don’t understand it, I do assume that it results from Peter’s meta-program strengths and weaknesses. He is very strong on options (creativity) and therefore weak on procedures; strong on self-referencing and weak on other- referencing; strong globally and weak on details.
