    Sourcebook of Magic: A Comprehensive Guide to NLP Change Patterns

    In the newly revised second edition, you will rediscover the basic 77 NLP patterns for transformational magic. What’s new? A change from merely describing the patterns to presenting the key questions that allow you to guide a client. This edition streamlines the patterns so that they are even more succinct and offers new insights about how the patterns work—that is, the cognitive-behavioral mechanisms that make the neuro-linguistic and neuro-semantic approach so powerful. The first edition arose from a desire to collect in one place the basic or core NLP patterns.

It also provides guidelines for knowing what to do when and why.
