The Swish: An In Depth Look at this Powerful NLP Pattern (NLP Mastery)

This book is a pretty damn good description of the swish pattern. I bought it mainly for selfish reasons - to run the swish pattern on myself. It very quickly pointed how I was running the swish pattern all wrong.I used it once so far to help me wake up in a more optimistic and positive mood every day. While it's working, I definitely need to make some adjustments.(First adjustment is getting my new memory foam mattress for my bed. I think I'm waking up feeling zapped because I'm lying on a tough ass mattress and I keep tossing and turning).With that being said, the first time it worked...it worked a bit oddly. Let me explain - my trigger to move my brain in a new direction is my alarm going off and me reaching for it. The Happy Song by Pharrell plays to help put me in a good moodThe morning after I did the swish pattern I heard my Alarn going off and I could hear the happy song playing. So naturally I jumped out of bed...in a kind of a daze. My ex girlfriend asked me why I was up so early and I told her my alarm just went off.Which it hadn't. My brain was playing a trick on me. It must have anticipated my alarm going on and ran the technique itself :)Overall, it's a pretty damn good book.

I give all the stars I can to this book because it deserves it!! A very elaborate, clear, straight forward description of different ways of applying the Swish Pattern - a technique I have learned long ago in an NLP class but have never realized all its possibilities until now.I happen to read it at a time when my life at home and work was going downhill and just by practicing only a couple different ways of the technique, things changed for me considerably in a matter of days - 7 to be more exact. I am impressed and excited to now apply it more with my clients.I highly recommend this book not only to change workers , but to anyone who needs a little help in their life situations. It is one of the most universal and easy to use patterns. You can't go wrong with this book!! Because at one point or another we all need a little help, a little boost in life and you will find it in "The Swish: An In Depth Look At This Pattern" by Shawn Carson and Jess Marion, authors with proven credibility and knowledge.Desi Edwards, CH, Integrative Change Worker

THIS BOOK IS THE ONE! I like it greatly as it gives insight into new ways to use swish. The New Behavior Generator is worth the price of this book.Much more relevant content and explanations are in the book.

Loved this book so much digitally that I just placed my order for it in the physical form. NLP can be cumbersome to learn because many NLP books throw soooo much at you at once. This book takes one NLP pattern and presents it in a digestible manner that makes the reader feel comfortable to go out and give it a go. I've used this pattern well before reading this book, but through Jess's clear presentation I feel I am a better practitioner. NLP is not a collection of patterns but as a simpleminded human-being I'm glad to have this pattern well defined for me so that I can use it to help my clients easily.

It's rare that one discovers a complete framework for mastery through the study of one application (as the Swish Pattern) of a body of knowledge (like NLP). It's rarer still that a person can learn quickly and easily the fundamentals of the whole system through study of this one renown application, The Swish Pattern. This kind of rarity is exactly what these skilled and experienced practitioners and trainers of NLP have achieved with "The Swish: An In Depth Look.....". Shawn Carson and Jess Marion enjoy a great, and well deserved, reputation in the NLP coaching field for their gifted abilities to explain a very complex subject in a practical and applicable manner. This work enables the student to see, hear, and grasp this highly effective NLP application gaining a very deep, integrated understanding and clarity.After carefully reviewing this impressive, well written, and very interesting study of the quintessential NLP application, it occurs to me that the very experience of reading and reflecting upon the teaching(s) the authors have expressed, provides the reader with a deep inner framework that elegantly integrates seamlessly all of what the NLP applications modalities were developed to provide.For the serious therapist, coach, leader, change agent, and/or promoter of ideas, this one study will clearly provide the strategy and tactics that are the basis of what Erickson, Bandler, Grinder, and particularly, Overdurf, are expressing. Carson and Marion achieve this experiential learning in an approachable, 'hands on' manner, that also can be characterized as "fun".I think any interested person can easily find themselves enjoyably reviewing this great contribution to NLP coaching and therapy. I also believe that as a person reads this material he/she might surely experience a quantum leap towards being a more effective practitioner while generating far better, more satisfying outcomes.
