NLP Books
The best way to learn NLP is by attending a class room based NLP Program. The second best is to do online with a Coach / Trainer. The third best option is to do it off line (reading, videos, mp3) with email based support for queries. Fourth best is to watch NLP Videos or recording of a live program, and last best option is to read NLP books.
Note: If you have not attended an NLP Program and are attempting to understand NLP by surfing the internet for NLP resources and by NLP books, then you may not get the essence of NLP and how it works. Even though you may get an idea about what it is by reading NLP books, but the best way to learn is by attending a program.
Post the program the best way to continue to learn is by watching NLP videos and by reading NLP books, depending upon the outcome that a person has. E.g If you are looking forward to improve your coaching skills using NLP, then books which are focused more on coaching will be beneficial. If you are looking forward to improve your Selling skills using NLP, then an NLP book focused on Sales will be more relevant.
