transcript of one of his seminar. He

Time for a Change by Richard
Bandler
After reading and populating shelves
at home with books on NLP, hypnosis
and therapy I still remember those
two days -one year ago or more
maybe- I read this one amidst cracks
of laughter. Honestly, I did not learn
anything, just NOTHING, as far as my
"conscious mind" is involved,
however I was amused to no end and
challenged to GO ON LEARNING, and
on and on, it gave me a powerful
boost and ignited my desire and
enthusiasm to no end,
retrospectively, I think this book
might well deserve the sub-title of
"The spirit of NLP", although this title
is beared already by another that
also deserves it.

Thought Contagion : How Belief
Spreads Through Society by Aaron
Lynch
Why do certain ideas become
popular? The naive view is that it's
because they're true, or at least
justified. This fascinating book,
influenced by evolutionary biology
and epidemiology, is the first full-
scale examination of some of the
other reasons. Consider Aaron
Lynch's example of optimism--it may
not be true or warranted, but it tends
to prevail because optimists tend to
have more children to pass along
their outlook to. Sometimes, Lynch
points out, there is a paradoxical but
predictable expansion-contraction
pattern to the social spread of ideas.
If nothing else, lobbyists need to look
into this stuff to see which side their
bread is really buttered on.

book is well worth buying.

The 48 Laws of Power by Joost
Elffers, Robert Greene
Learning the game of power requires
a certain way of looking at the world,
a shifting of perspective," writes
Robert Greene. Mastery of one's
emotions and the arts of deception
and indirection are, he goes on to
assert, essential. The 48 laws
outlined in this book "have a simple
premise: certain actions always
increase one's power ... while others
decrease it and even ruin us."
The laws cull their principles from
many great schemers--and scheming
instructors--throughout history, from
Sun-Tzu to Talleyrand, from
Casanova to con man Yellow Kid
Weil. They are straightforward in
their amoral simplicity: "Get others
to do the work for you, but always
take the credit," or "Discover each
man's thumbscrew." Each chapter
provides examples of the
consequences of observance or
transgression of the law, along with
"keys to power," potential "reversals"
(where the converse of the law might
also be useful), and a single
paragraph cleverly laid out to
suggest an image (such as the
aforementioned thumbscrew); the
margins are filled with illustrative
quotations. Practitioners of one-
upmanship have been given a new,
comprehensive training manual, as
up-to-date as it is timeless.
The Art of Seduction by Robert
Greene, Joost Elffers
Greene is the author of The 48 Laws
of Power (1998), a compilation of
quotes from throughout history that
prescribe methods of obtaining and
wielding power. He now adds
seduction to the mix of stratagems
for those who feel the need to
scheme to get what they want. Given
the popularity of so-called reality-
based television programs, it is clear
there is a large audience of such
people. Greene, again providing
quotes on his topic from
philosophers, scientists, playwrights,
and novelists, examines "the
achievements of the greatest
seducers throughout history" and
profiles 10 seductive archetypes.
Although the tactics Greene advises
may be distasteful to some, his
literary survey is fascinating. As was
Greene's previous work, this one is
billed as "A Joost Elffers Production."
Elffers is identified--with no hint of
embarrassment--as a book
"packager." A "quote" from a
Newsweek review of The 48 Laws is
used to hype the new book, though
the actual article in which the quote
appeared challenged Greene's
credentials as an editor and
playwright and offered only
lukewarm praise. David Rouse
Never Be Lied to Again by David J.
Lieberman
When liars are being accused of
something, they'll stay calm because
they're working on their rebuttal; this
is why detectives were suspicious of
O.J. Simpson when he didn't express
outrage when accused of murdering
his ex-wife and Ronald Goldman.
Never Be Lied to Again is bursting
with tested tips like this for quickly
determining when you're being
boondoggled. Body language, facial
expressions, sentence structure, and
word choice can all reveal when
someone is lying, says psychologist
David J. Lieberman, and he includes
46 of these "clues to deception" to
help you, including tricks for framing
questions without putting others on
the defense. Once you use your
newly honed "human lie detector"
skills to figure out if you're being lied
to, you can then dig for the truth
using the specific, influential words
and body postures that Lieberman
suggests. Written with flair and
humor, Never Be Lied to Again is
designed to help you get the upper
hand in any situation, whether you're
trying to figure out if your spouse is
cheating on you or if you suspect
your coworkers are cooking the
books.
Instant Analysis by David J.
Lieberman
A psychologist offers practical
suggestions and strategies for
transforming some one hundred of
the most common self-defeating
behaviors and habits, including fear
of failure, eating disorders,
procrastination, superstition, and
others.
Get Anyone to Do Anything and
Never Feel Powerless Again by David.
J. Lieberman
The New York Times bestselling
author of Never be Lied to Again
delivers a book of psychological
secrets to gain control of my
situation and never feel powerless
again.

exploring the human psyche. This
revolutionary audiobook explains
how to see through people, how to
avoid being manipulated and how to
get the upper hand in every
situation. Learn how to gain control
and influence anyone, any time:
Get anyone to forgive you
Defeat the competition
Get anyone to confess a secret
Get anyone to return your call
Stop verbal abuse in an instant
Get anyone to find you attractive
Stop jealous behavior in anyone
With all the stress, competition,
game-playing, and manipulation that
life throws your way, you will not
want to be without this audiobook
that delivers the promise of life made strategies and techniques used by
easy.
The Mafia Manager by V
In a manner that hints of power and
money, author "V" lays down
guidelines for business garnered
from his years of service in the Mafia.
Is he kidding? Perhaps. But the level
of common sense displayed could
fool the reader. Each of the three
sections is filled with riffs on the
main theme; part two, "Managing
Others," covers such topics as hiring, minds. No special, inborn gifts. No
firing, senior advisers, leadership,
productivity, and rules, all sprinkled persuaders--advertisers, salespeople,
with appropriate company aphorisms politicians, spin doctors--depend on
and syllogisms. Machiavellian? You
bet. Chauvinistic? For sure. But the
book is also a great antidote to the
disease of serious, boring, humorless know how to manipulate these two
corporate-speak tomes. Barbara

hidden and natural attributes to
create an instant bond with anyone

Passport to Power by William
Thourlby
Thourlby delivers a masterful
exposition of what can be called the
Truth of Human Relationships,
whereas other authors may treat the
subject simply as schmoozing. What
sets Thourlby apart is that his
context is respect for the self and
respect for others and that a Higher
Power has placed you together for a
reason. Studying and executing on
his program for social success is then
simply an acknowledgement of
reality. Whereas the prose meanders
at times, this book's message is of
imperative importance...a must-read.
( Marcos J. Polanco)
The Psychology of Persuasion by
Kevin Hogan
The Psychology Of Persuasion: How
To Persuade Others To Your Way Of
Thinking will show how to ethically
direct others toward your point of
view. Author Kevin Hogan teaches
the skills of persuasion drawn from
techniques as diverse as hypnosis,
neurolinguistics, the Bible, and
successful salespeople throughout
history. The Psychology Of
Persuasion demonstrates how to
construct persuasive messages. It
teaches how to tell what the other
person is thinking, why he thinks it,
and how to change what he thinks. It
covers persuasion from both points
of view -- helping consumers to make
better buys and salespeople to sell
more. The Psychology Of Persuasion
shares the most powerful tools,
political candidates, television
ministers, and corporate leaders. The
Psychology Of Persuasion is practical,
sensible, workable, and totally
accessible to the non-specialist
general reader.

Power, Money, Fame, Sex by
Gretchen Craft Rubin
From Booklist Power! Money! Fame!
Sex! What else is there? Niccolo
Machiavelli, meet Jackie Collins.
Rubin's subtitle contains what is
probably an unintentional double
meaning; her guide is actually for
people who use people. She does
suggest, though, that "nonstrivers"
will find the book valuable in learning
how to protect themselves against
the machinations she enthusiastically
describes.
Influence by Robert B. Cialdini
Arguably the best book ever on what
is increasingly becoming the science
of persuasion. Whether you're a
mere consumer or someone weaving
the web of persuasion to urge others
to buy or vote for your product, this
is an essential book for
understanding the psychological
foundations of marketing.

Virus of the Mind : The New Science
of the Meme by Richard Brodie
If you've ever wondered how and
why people become robotically
enslaved by advertising, religion,
sexual fantasy, and cults, wonder no
more. It's all because of "mind
viruses," or "memes," and those who
understand how to plant them into
other's minds. This is the first truly
accessible book about memes and
how they make the world go 'round.
Of course, like all good memes, the
ideas in Brodie's book are double-
edged swords. They can vaccinate
against the effects of cognitive

more effectively. If you don't want to

arms race between infection and

Thought Contagion : How Belief
Spreads Through Society by Aaron
Lynch"
Why do certain ideas become
popular? The naive view is that it's
because they're true, or at least
justified. This fascinating book,
influenced by evolutionary biology
and epidemiology, is the first full-
scale examination of some of the
other reasons. Consider Aaron
Lynch's example of optimism--it may
not be true or warranted, but it tends
to prevail because optimists tend to
have more children to pass along
their outlook to. Sometimes, Lynch
points out, there is a paradoxical but
predictable expansion-contraction
pattern to the social spread of ideas.
If nothing else, lobbyists need to look
into this stuff to see which side their
bread is really buttered on. Warning:
this book is densely written. But it's
worth the wade.
The Meme Machine by Susan
Blackmore, Richard Dawkins"
Showing greater courage and
intellectual chutzpah than I have
ever aspired to, she deploys her
memetic forces in a brave--do not
think foolhardy until you have read
it--assault on the deepest questions
of all: What is a self? What am I?
Where am I? ... Any theory deserves
to be given its best shot, and that is
what Susan Blackmore has given the
theory of the meme.
Media Virus! : Hidden Agendas in
Popular Culture by Douglas Rushkoff"
Have you ever noticed that the word
"media" refers both to the tool for
disseminating information in human
societies as well as the substrate
upon which geneticists grow bacteria
and viruses? Rushkoff has written
one of the more provocative and
insightful analyses of the paths of
conceptual infection in human
media, and about the techniques and
goals of those who spread media
viruses. This fun, hip, yet insightful
book is well worth buying.
Brain Builders! by Richard Leviton
Health writer Leviton believes that
the human brain is like a muscle: the
more you use it, the stronger it gets.
And he disagrees with the commonly
held notion that cognitive abilities
must decrease with age. To "age-
proof your brain," Leviton
recommends a pragmatic seven-step
program that incorporates an
understanding of your brain's
rhythms with an awareness of how
important diet, exercise, and music
are to the thought process.
Numerous mental calisthenics are
presented to promote "alertness,
concentration, perceptual speed,
learning, memory, problem solving,
and creativity."

Aroma lamps, which disperse the
vapors, become readily available in
