I know what you mean! I figure that I should own shares in Amazon.ca by now. LOL

Actually quite interested in getting a good quality DVD to see some masters in action. Nothing like the real thing I know, but at least I would know I am observing a true master. Have you a title to recommend??
I decided to take a look on line and see if I could spot anything for you and I came across this article on "The Secrets Missing From The Secret". http://www.neurosemantics.com/index....479&Itemid=199 . It's written by L. Michael Hall who is a really good author of other NLP related books. He is part of the Neurosemantics Society which is an off-shoot of NLP but I really like their work.
This "Fundamentals of NLP" by Leslie Cameron-Bandler DVD may be worth checking out: http://shop.nlpco.com/s.nl/it.A/id.4...c=2&category=7

Quite a few less-than masters around given the money-making opportunities - especially in money-mad Hong Kong. :icon_twisted:
Is it really that bad?

Very keen to talk NLP. Off to UK on business Monday and will get some reading done.
Wow, UK - that's a bit of a trip! Make sure you bring one of your machines with you on the plane so you can "zone outa' for a while.

Have to say (again?) that I am quite attracted to NLP now I know what I have been missing. I completed a psychology degree in 1980 (before you were born?) that focused on cognitive psychology, but I had no idea until last week those clever folks were creating NLP at the same time. Most of my stuff learnt was out-of-date without me knowing it. Haa. Good job I didn't need it for my engineering work all these years!
1980 before I was born ... ah you flatter me Richard. :) Hmmm 1980 ... I was 18 and partying. :cheers:
Up until 2000, my studies were focused more on crime prevention. I use to work as a Private Investigator and specialized in fraud and internal theft. I also worked as an event security coordinator for concerts and VIP appearances. The fraud and crime prevention work led me to joining a profiling group in the U.S. where I got interested in criminal and deviant behavior, which really fascinated me.
In 2000 I took my NLP training and decided to switch careers and become a counselor using NLP. I did that for three years and then got into hypnosis more and light and sound. I realized that I didn't enjoy counseling and so, I shifted gears again and closed down my practice and decided to semi-retire and just work with Mindplace and be the Canadian Distributor of the machines.
I did consider taking psychology at various times and yet I never did ... maybe it was the thought of having to study Freud and all the old ways of psychological torture. LOL

Also had an interest in hypnosis as a young fellow, and still have two books I bought in 1972. What with my Zen meditation training years ago (the in-thing at the time), and these wonderful Mindplace technologies, it is all falling into place rather late in life. No sweat, just better catch up quickly... ...
I like the knowledge of hypnosis. The knowledge of understanding how the unconscious mind works and how it is influenced by certain types of thoughts and words. The actual practice of hypnosis itself isn't all that exciting - although, what I use to do is hook up the client to the L&S, which was hooked up to a mixer that was also connected to a CD player and microphone ... so what the client got was a light and sound experience with my voice in their headphones doing the hypnotherapy session at the same time. It worked great!! It was a very successful and easy way to do things because there were no outside distractions that could bring the person out of the trance. The L&S machine kept them in the trance and I could modulate my voice so that it was in synch with the music (sound of the waves) with the beats from the machine in the background.
Talk again soon.

PS. Better to move this NLP stuff to separate thread? I am a non-smoker and the thread title turns me off. Tried to change it but system ignored me.
Done. :)

PPS. Do you know of any NLP books that use graphics (like Mindmaps, systems thinking diagrams, or similar) to show the change patterns and other NLP tools? I would really like to try creating something more visual if not out there.
Hmmm I'll look around and see what I can find. In the meantime, I've attached a few diagrams of concepts that I created at some point.
Have a safe trip!
