Richard Bandler's First New Book in 10 YEARS

[Saul Bohen]

hi all. i just got emailed this from Bandler. thought i'd pass it on:

Dear friends and colleagues,

This September, I'm excited to bring out my first U.S. published
book in 10 years, GET THE LIFE YOU WANT: The Secrets to Quick and
Lasting Life Change with Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

You have all noticed that the state of the world is a bit tenuous
at the moment - to say the least. People are running around like
chickens without heads about jobs going away, love lives crumbling, and
subsequently watching their health deteriorate.

Now that I have unfortunately painted a bleak picture,
don't you think the time is right for a little NLP?

I'd like you to partner with me in getting the word out there.
Let's help others learn to acquire some valuable tools to turn around
their lives. And, at the same time help co-create a NY Times
bestseller.

What I'm asking is for you to send a message to your own email list
of friends and colleagues (at least 10 people) and encourage them to
pick up a copy for themselves and at least one more to share.

What we need, in order to create critical mass, is for this
campaign to roll out over a few specified days. So, we want people to
order their books from amazon.com on September 2, 3, and 4. The link
to order is by clicking here GET THE LIFE YOU WANT

I am also running a contest where a few lucky people will win a
signed copy of GET THE LIFE YOU WANT. Be one of the first 25 people to
email my publicist at [email address deleted]
will receive an autographed copy. Thank you in advance for helping me
to get the word out. Together, we'll sort out this chaos, one brain at
a time.

Yours truly,

Bandler

Nice try for some business; however, you may notice under the NLP category this has already been discussed. There are numerous NLP Trainers on this site.

So sorry but a Moderator will have to remove your link. We buy our books on Amazon or equiv.

Be well,
Pood :)

[Jack]

Dr. Bandler obviously does not yet have the life he wants, but if we all buy his book then he will. So come on chaps, dig deep:rolleyes: .

Jack

[Terry]

Ah, I see I am not alone in feeling a bad note from that post. Actually, it had put me off buying the book, which is sad..... So many of these pushers, and that is what they are not promoters, have that same effect on many, and in some cases they are not connected with the person who would profit from the sale either....

[Poodle]

was just quoting Bandler word for word. I received it yet AGAIN today requesting that I forward it on to 10 more people and requesting my body and mind in Las Vegas (really just my mind, I'm sure).

I don't understand the 10 year statement at all!

1993 - Time For A Change (re-write)
New - Conversations
Now -

None of this adds up to 10 years or I need to reattend elementary school.

Personally, I believe Connie and I should receive the autographed copies as we PRE-ORDERED!!

P.S. Another item that might interest YOU and/or your friends is that I am
giving a FREE lecture in Las Vegas on Friday night, September 5 at the
Las Vegas Hilton from 7:00 - 9:00 pm which is part of a professional conference on neuroscience. You may want to spend the entire day there.

See more about the conference here.

You can also get a copy of GET THE LIFE YOU WANT there and have
it signed. Remember, what happens in Vegas.... hope to see you there."

I have no idea what happens in Vegas since I've never been there. -- Pood

Or possibly just your money?

I am a dreadful cynic but actually have much respect for Dr Bandler's
work, and much less for attempted viral marketing when it is so crudely
stimulated.

Pity, but waiting for it to be remaindered on Amazon or buying it
secondhand will be my chosen option. Will I lose much?
Unlikely. Pood is a much better authority on Bandler than I, but
my own take is that much of NLP is simply gilding the original lily,
or perhaps squeezing the last egg from the by now geriatric
(but still with all her marbles) golden goose.

Jack

[Poodle]

It's VERY REASONABLE on Amazon so you CAN afford it NEW or not, depending upon whether you really WANT TO READ IT.

As for Las Vegas, it's FREE BUT the problem is in getting there. I can fly to NYC and Florida cheaper than I can get to Vegas. I could probably come visit you cheaper than I can go across a couple of States. Ohhh, to live in the Sticks!! :(

Pood :)

[Poodle]

There will be a personal one hour interview with Richard about this new book on Thursday, 4 September 2008. PM me for details as I will not post links.

Time is: 3-4:00pm Eastern
2-3:00pm Central
1-2:00pm Rocky Mtn.
Noon-1:00pm Pacific

Be well,
Pood

Jack

My suspicion here is that you have nominalised the term 'life' to flatter your cynicism amigo. :D

On Bandler, i'd imagine he has ever evolving visions for his future and the process of realising these is every bit as desireable as their realisation.

I don't go in for viral emailing and, like you, I find it easy to unfold a little cynicism. But, Bandler's motives may or may not be more or less selfish. Whether or not they are, his living the life he wants, has proved, in my view, invaluable.

I look forward to reading this title one day.

Regards

your friend
Soren

[Connie]

He's my teacher! One of many. And of course I'm interested in anything he has to say. :) Trust me, Jack, he's got the life he wants now, on that I would wager money. :) Who better than the King of NLP to craft his life precisely as he wants it?

[Soren K (existing)]

I noticed this title is currently sold out on Amazon.co.uk - good sign for me, as I really prefer titles in paperback. The one review on Amazon.com (already) makes it look like interesting read.

:)

[Jack]

My suspicion here is that you have nominalised the term 'life' to flatter your cynicism amigo. :D

My suspicion is that you have not lived long enough to evolve and enjoy a healthy cynicism, but trust me, that old nominalisation Life, in all its nominal glory will teach you how. Eventually. ;)

On Bandler, i'd imagine he has ever evolving visions for his future and the process of realising these is every bit as desireable as their realisation.

I too, imagine that Dr Bandler has ever evolving visions for his future, but I suspect they do not involve you or I, except in a supporting role. So why are you interested in his future?

But, Bandler's motives may or may not be more or less selfish. Whether or not they are, his living the life he wants, has proved, in my view, invaluable.

I see a frog. It is green, It croaks, It hops. It is unlikely to be a fairy prince. You may choose what you believe is likely, or valuable.

Dr Bandler living the life he wants is of supreme indifference to me since I am not an acolyte or disciple, merely an observer.

I look forward to reading this title one day.

So do I, but it will be secondhand. Possibly bought from an ex-disciple.:)

yeh, I am young, naive perhaps... but nah, although I like to give someone the benefit of the doubt, l think my judgement is in good order (serving my purposes). It's choices right enough, and with ends in good order, you can't fail to make the right ones.


I too, imagine that Dr Bandler has ever evolving visions for his future, but I suspect they do not involve you or I, except in a supporting role. So why are you interested in his future?I suspect they don't involve you or I, but I've still much I'd like to learn from Dr. Bandler, so as long as he has a future and the desire to teach his material, I'm happy enough about that.

I see a frog. It is green, It croaks, It hops. It is unlikely to be a fairy prince. You may choose what you believe is likely, or valuable. :confused: :D

Dr Bandler living the life he wants is of supreme indifference to me since I am not an acolyte or disciple, merely an observer.well, I doubt you think that the finer fruits of the way he's chosen to live are without value.

So do I, but it will be secondhand. Possibly bought from an ex-discipleYeh, well most likely mine will be second-hand (used/like new, unmarked) and from whoever sells it.

Disciple - well, one needn't be exclusive in their admiration of greatness, although it is hard to disfavour that which inspires you. Nevertheless, I am iconoclastic - and I surrender when it suits (ends... purposes.. naivety, practice, there are lives worth living right enough, my own suits me well enough) :P

To your best (sparring buddy)

Can you not order it from Amazon in the USA or do you want me to ship it to you. Would be about 7 pounds plus shipping or in the alternative you can wait. Remember: he who waits, waits and waits. (or should we change those to weights).

Love,
ma

PS - I did ask John LaValle about the 10 years. He replied it was because Richard had co-authored his book.

Yeh, I could order it, but I got a backlog of Bandler's books which I'm still studying anyway, so I don't think I'd get on to it for a while, and I'd prefer a paperback copy anyway.

Remind me, what's this about the 10 years? - bit out of touch here

:)

[Poodle]

Richard said this is his first book published in the USA in 10 years. 1992 and 1993 are NOT ten years so I asked John where the 10 years was coming from and he said it was cuz Richard co-authored his book which makes it about 10 years.

You do need to realize that Richard is a "polarity responder" -- not as much as he used to be; however, there are numerous people in this world that do not share the same viewpoint as you, me or Connie. It's okay!! Honestly it is. My brother cannot stand it if I mention his name. Everyone is welcome to their beliefs - you just don't have to adopt them. Example: Jack is one of the best clinical hypnotherapists in the world. I know him. He is not much into NLP and that is perfectly fine because his clients get much better much quicker than most people's would. I know he can teach this old dawg a few new tricks and has. There are other people that much prefer John Grinder, etc., etc. I wanted to take a training with Carmine and I'd still like one with Julie Silverthorne and our Skip, here. If I were not sooo old, I'd be getting my degree from APU too. It's a big world out there.

Hugs,

There is nothing wrong with your thinking except perhaps allowing enthusiasm to overshadow logic, but you may do that as long as you are aware that it is what you are doing.

Dr Bandler is an icon to many people, he has made, along with John Grinder, an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the way that people work. He is also a businessman. That in summary is my opinion. If you think he is more than that, well, that is your opinion.

You didn't get the frog? Ah well, win some, lose some.

Jack

[Jack]

A wise post, and clarifying what I was incoherently trying to say to Soren.

Actually I have a lot of respect for Dr Bandler, but I do not worship him; that is reserved for my 1936 split cane Hardy fly rod which has caught me more fish than NLP.

At the last count I was at 29,467th on the World's Best Clinical Hypnotherapists list, but I notice you were substantially above me, despite being younger. I shall complain to the organisers, but in a whisper.:)

Jack

[Connie]

Richard Bandler himself probably has very little to do with the marketing of the book--I'm sure he's turned that over to others (professionals) who are behind these vehement "pushes" to get the word out. I doubt extremely that he wrote that email himself, either...he probably "approved it," but writing it?

I'm not fond of this type of marketing, but I do intend to check out his new book.

[Soren K (existing)]

There is nothing wrong with your thinking except perhaps allowing enthusiasm to overshadow logic, but you may do that as long as you are aware that it is what you are doing.

Dr Bandler ... has made, along with John Grinder, an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the way that people work. He is also a businessman. That in summary is my opinion. If you think he is more than that, well, that is your opinion.

Well, we are all many things. I recognise both of these traits in him, - the excellence of his business ability is apparent when you attend his seminars. But equally, perhaps moreso, he is an excellent teacher, or, more properly, a tremendous facilitator of learning.

I also practice, among other martial arts, jui jitsu. I got a pretty good game going just now against other white belts. If I roll with blue belts my game is less good (but improving :) ). It's amazing what you pick up. The best teachers do not seek your worship, they encourage you to focus on your own development. Respect for that follows quite naturally

Personally, I couldn't care less if my teacher likes or loathes me, nor whether another person thinks my respect for those I choose to learn from is misguided, nor whether they want to think cynically about my relationships - afterall, who are they to judge?

(that is not a criticism btw)

But I understand the points, and i don't expect people to have the same admirations or experiences I have, nor even to endorse them.

(anyway... yatter, yatter, yatter - not adding much here, so I'll shut up).

They are no-one, or maybe they are. It is always wise to take information from anywhere and process it before deciding if it is useless or not. By not caring less you can avoid challenges to your current reality, which may or may not be useful, but you would never know, would you?

Incidentally, if your teacher loathes you do you think you will get the best teaching from your teacher? Is there another way to get the best teaching?

that's a fair point, what I meant is, partly is the results speak for themselves usually, but I take on board what you're saying. Thanks.


Incidentally, if your teacher loathes you do you think you will get the best teaching from your teacher? Is there another way to get the best teaching?Yeh, I thought about that again last night and you're right, that probably wouldn't work out. What I really had in mind here is that I don't mind when my teachers are hard on me - I'm currently realising I can benefit a variety of teaching styles to my advantage. If someone expert in some field takes a moment to see my successes, respect follows naturally, whether there is like or dislike for anything else - there is a plateau there, to have some regard.

Actually, if you get to know me, I'm quite a likeable guy, with a good sense of humour.

L.O.L. re: Jack's comment. I've never met our Soren K, but very much
like his presence here.

I think you may want this particular book now. Reason being it is a DIY NLP book. It's divided into three parts the Past, things we need to get through now, and then motivation or as we prefer to call it Tenacious Resolve. Some trainers are using it for giving workshops.

This is the first DIY NLP book. I don't think you have any issues right now to work on but it can only aid you in working with friends and colleagues. Maybe I could call it like being a Trainer without going through all the fun.

Again, I'll send it to you if you decide you want it.

Love,
ma :)
