Description

These are two of Grinder’s more recent books.  “Turtles” is the accompanying text to the Prerequisites for Personal Genius mp3 that’s already posted here.  “Whispering” details the bulk of the modified approach that makes up Grinder’s “New Code.”  Book Description – Turtles All The Way DownRich with humor and metaphors from other cultures and disciplines, Turtles develops the characteristics common to the geniuses whose patterning formed the initial body of NLP techniques.

This book represents the coming of age for the exciting adventure called NLP
