The Tony Robbins NLP style has introduced more people to Neurolinguistic Programming than any other NLP teacher I can think of.
While many practitioners frequently dismiss him as being no more than a showman, a businessman or a “disco” NLPer, we can still learn much from him. I for one have participated in almost all of his trainings, for reasons I’ll explain in greater details in this article.
The following list offers the top 10 NLP books I recommend you read. Once you're done, you will have a good grasp on wha the field has been about for the past few decades.
