Description

ReviewAndy Austin's Rainbow Machine will have you laughing, gasping in horror and awe, and wishing like hell that you lived close enough to him to get an appointment. He is the British Milton Erickson. --Bill O Hanlon, author of Change 101 and many other books about brief therapy.A fascinating book of amusing and sometimes outrageous vignettes, using NLP language patterns, submodalities, and what one might call NLP provocative therapy. A delightful collection of stories, thought pieces, and teaching that cast light into what NLP has to offer the field of psychotherapy and psychiatry. If you have an interest in the field, it will give you insights; if you have no interest, then read it just to enjoy the inevitable laughter. --Julian Russell, Senior Executive Coach and co-author of Alpha Leadership: tools for business leaders who want more from life.The Rainbow Machine is a portal into the mind and methods of an outstanding practitioner of NLP. These journal entries transcend case studies and become teaching tales that convey Andrew Austin s fearless and imaginative attitude toward healing and change. Each tale is at once illustrative example, mind-expanding metaphor, and damn fine storytelling. Highly recommended for NLP Practitioners and anyone else involved in healing arts. Philip H.
