With Heart and Mind – NLP for Every Situation

Why this book?

Hardly any other NLP book combines so much humanity with so much practical clarity as this one. "With Heart and Mind – NLP for Every Situation" is a real treasure for anyone who doesn't just want to understand NLP, but actually experience it. Connirae and Steve Andreas take you on a journey through the spectrum of human problems—and show how NLP can help solve them.

It's not about abstract theories, but about real people with real issues: fear, anger, pain, decision problems, goal conflicts, inner blocks—and how you can deal with them using NLP.

Content & Structure

The book has 21 chapters, each describing a specific life challenge—and the right NLP method to solve it. Every chapter is set up like a mini-coaching session:

• a case story with a real-life problem
• a compassionate NLP intervention
• explanations for why this works

Sample topics from the book:

• Reprocessing negative memories
• Letting go and resolving grief
• Setting resource anchors
• Clarifying decision-making processes
• Defining goals and making them motivating
• Integrating conflicts between inner parts
• Unleashing creativity and tapping into unconscious strengths
• Dealing with self-worth issues and limiting beliefs

The book is intentionally written to be user-friendly. Readers don’t just get theory—they’re constantly invited to try things out for themselves and reflect on their own experiences.

Three takeaways

1. Change is possible—even with deep-rooted issues. NLP can mindfully open up access to unconscious resources.
2. Every technique is there to serve people. The Andreas duo show how NLP can be used with heart, ethics, and empathy.
3. NLP isn’t just a toolbox—it’s a path to inner freedom. This book really shines when it comes to emotional challenges.

Who is this book for?

This book is for people who want to see NLP not just as a technique, but as a path to personal growth.

• NLP newbies who are ready to dive into inner processes and discover NLP through real-life case stories
• Advanced NLP users who want to deepen their work and develop more sensitivity when dealing with emotional topics
• Coaches, therapists, and trainers looking for inspiration for mindful, resource-oriented interventions
• People going through personal change who want to find answers not just in their heads, but also in their hearts

This book isn’t really for readers who expect a purely technical step-by-step guide. But if you’re open to experiencing NLP as a living process, you’ll find something truly deep and practical here.

Editorial comment

“A touching, smart NLP book with real therapeutic depth. If you want to experience NLP on a personal level, you’ll find a real treasure trove of insights and tools here.”
