Review of the third chapter - life 50-75

I still sometime consultant for a book people seeking careers in mid-life. This book seems to be the same after midlife, which characterizes as "young old" Mary Pipher on preparations for the year. As I have mentioned, in reviewing other books, I often think that it is impossible to write a really helpful book to this phase of life, because a it easy not much choice for everyone and (b) it is such a wide range of people, Health levels, skills, skills, background and much more. Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot treated (b) by focusing on small slices of the population: educated, healthy people without financial worry. Within this group, she finds common patterns: a longing for something that always, a resistance to change are named can not (possibly because successful people tend to resist change a cherished identity) and finally one from previous learning, classroom experience differs. It's insights like this that give me to the book of a 4-star rating, rather than 3 star. I agree ...

Book review: Neurolinguistic psychotherapy, by Lisa wake

Neurolinguistic Psychotherapy by Lisa Wake is a well researched, extensively referenced, and scholarly examination of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and the advancing model of neurolinguistic psychotherapy. I enthusiastically recommend this book to clinicians, researchers, NLP practitioners, and anyone interested in advancing the science and theory of NLP. Little has been written in recent years about the application of NLP in psychotherapy. This book goes a long way toward filling that gap in the NLP literature and does so in a clear and compelling way. Lisa Wake addresses numerous points that are crucial to establishing neuro-linguistic programming as an accepted psychotherapeutic methodology. Few books in recent years have linked NLP to the theoretical roots from which it arose and considered the implications of these connections to utilizing NLP processes in clinical work. This book is unique in examining the utility of NLP in the broader context of what needs to occur for peo...
