Book cover of mBraining: Using your multiple brains to do cool stuff

Karen Falconer Author Of The NLP Professional: Your Future in NLP

From my list on Neuro Linguistic Programming and what it’s about.

Why am I passionate about this?

My Father was a solicitor (lawyer) in the UK and a consummate professional. He inspired me in my formative years and guides my values and beliefs to this day. Professionalism has, therefore, been my guiding star. Since 2005, my focus and driver have been to give a framework of Professionalism to the unregulated field of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, which I believe in passionately. The books I have chosen for this list echo this passion…for making NLP accessible and credible and expressed in such simple terms with powerful, inspirational, and research-backed concepts and teachings. They continue to help shape my world, and I hope they can inspire you, too!

Karen's book list on Neuro Linguistic Programming and what it’s about

Karen Falconer Why did Karen love this book?

This is an evolutionary strand of NLP for me. I am interested in how neuroscience applies to my field, and this book was a mind-opener. I had always used the term “gut feeling” or “my heart says…” and now the science backs me up, too!

This book and its concepts really speak to my own experience of the world around me and give me new ways to communicate and relate to people in most situations I encounter. Both authors have their roots in NLP, and both expand the field in which I live. They do it in such a way that makes the progression seamless, understandable… and really powerful!
