broken image


Grab your nearest neuroanatomy text: this user's guide plots myriad courses through the brain's tracks and stations as Ratey (Psychiatry/Harvard Medical School) delivers the latest word on the underpinnings of perception, emotion, memory, thought, and other mental qualities. The User's Manual for the Brain $45.00 + $5.00 S&H = $50.00 Online Ordering — E-mail me a list of the products you want including your name, shipping address and telephone number and I will send you an invoice with the full cost of the products including shipping charges. May 19, 1994  It is an owner's manual - not detailed enough to let you build a brain, but a good enough overview of well-researched facts for any owner of a brain to be able to learn many, many important and useful things about the brain that they are. I strongly recommend it to.

The User's Manual for the Brain

The Complete Manual for
Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner Certification
by
Bobby G. Bodenhamer, D.Min.
L. Michael Hall, Ph.D.

L. Michael Hall, Ph.D. says concerning this manual, 'Dr. Bob Bodenhamer developed this manual for Running Your Own Brain over a seven year period as he taught NLP for Adult Education at Gaston College and conducted NLP Practitioner Certification training. From those practical contexts, he developed this manual to give people new to NLP a clear and understandable presentation.

Reviewers have noted this by saying, 'Readable, practical -- presents the heart and soul of NLP.' Part of what makes this work so readable includes: the 'text boxes' that emphasizes key point, introductions for each chapter, discussion questions at the end of each chapter, an extensive bibliography and glossary,

Here you will find NLP sequentially presented so that each section builds on the previous one. With a mixture of presentation, example, thought experiments, case studies, outlines, metaphors, etc. the manual trains both conscious and unconscious minds. For trainers, overhead mats of the material are available.

Cutting-Edge Material: This manual further includes the latest discoveries about submodalities and the Meta-States Model. No other manual anywhere incorporates these two items.'

I (BB) believe that the reader will find within these 400 plus pages the single most understandable and readable treatment of basic NLP available today. Because it has come out of seven years of actual training sessions of NLP, many of your questions will find answers. All techniques have exercises that follow to lead to behaviorial integration of the materials.
