There are full instructions for 20 practical exercises. There is a seven page guide to eliciting a person's submodalities in a given situation (a basic and vital part of modelling) and lists of typical submodality-related phrases.

From the Author A jargon free introduction to NLP for you and your work My work was transformed when I began to apply the thinking and skills that constitute NLP. I use it for myself and for the consultancy and training work that I do..... I wanted to make NLP accessible to people in business without all the jargon that sometimes accompanies this subject. This book is meant as a comprehensive introduction to how NLP can be used in this way by starting with yourself and then exploring how by the changes that you make to yourself you influence everyone around you. You will find many different things under the banner of NLP - the emphasis depends on the principles of the person who is presenting it. One of my key principles is that the only person in the world that we can change is ourselves and this book is built on that concept. I wrote it as a book that can be dipped into. There is a toolkit that you can work through if you wish and I have included thought provokers at the end of every chapter. I hope that you enjoy it and find it valuable to you personally and to your work. If it does that then it has fulfilled my wishes for it. If you have read the book then I would love your feedback
