NLP is generally known to be an acronym for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Neuro is the short form of neurology while linguistic refers to language. Also, programming basically refers to the ways those neural languages function. In a nutshell, when you learn NLP, it basically mean you're learning the language of the mind.
In a simpler form, have you once tried to pass a message across to someone who doens't speak or understand your language at all? A very good example of what we are talking about is when a particular person enters a restaurant in another man's country and ordered a particular dish but got something else delivered to him because of the language problem.
This is exactly the form of relationship many of us may have with our unconscious mind. We may probably be ordering healthy relationships, happiness, wealth and healthy diet, but if we don't get them, it probably means something is wrong with the translation.
In dealing with NLP, you'll come across a saying that goals are set by the conscious mind and goals are gotten by the unconscious mind. Our unconscious mind is always ready to get for us whatever it is we want want in life. But the problem comes if we do not properly communicate these things we want in life properly, then we keep getting the wrong orders.
The question I'm sure you must be asking by now is "so what's this book all about?"
Firstly, the general idea of NLP is that we, as human beings, operate through out internal maps. NLP seeks to help modify and detect unconscious limitations and biases of an individual's internal map.
This book helps you to achieve this. It guides you in paying attention to your internal maps. Everything you need to know about NLP is embedded in this book.
