Yep, The Psychological mind trap of setting up a values systems and a method of processing so you can at least taste the material to see if you want to taste more is not done by many folks. I'm a BIG book buyer and my tactic was to take Sheely's course back in the 80's (when he first came out with Photo Reading) so I could easily skim and understand if I want to eat the whole enchilada BEFORE actually buying the book. That did help my positive decision making as-far-as book buying. Of course there are a few people that 'anything' they put out, I'll buy sight unseen. People like Richard Bandler, Dan Kennedy and Brian Tracy. But the write-up I did on Richard Bandler is very rare for me. It hit me that hard with it's brillance. We've all a pile of books that we've not yet gotten to. By me building in that 'taste' factor first, I now get immediately to everything that does appeal to me or is important and necessary to the current project I am working on. Richard Bandler's newest book fits both of those criteria of mine. Hopefully you'll have as much fun as I am studying it, learning from it, doings it's drills, mismatching it, and asking yourself the " MAGIC questions " so that it becomes really yours. John M.
