Summary: Master Your Business Matrix!
Review: As the author has noted in his more recent works, we live in a matrix of frames -- attitudes, beliefs, values, decisions, thoughts, feelings -- about the world, time, others, ourselves and our capabilities. "Games Business Experts Play" is the first step to awareness of this matrix and mastery of it.

"Games Business Experts Play" is a step-by-step guide to running your own brain in all phases and aspects of business: sales, service, management, leadership to name a few. I use it as a textbook in my executive sales coaching practice, to get my clients started. A word of warning, though: the book contains a number of practical exercises. If you don't do them, you won't get much out of it.

Review: I paid actual dollars for this?
Watch out for the reviewers of Dr. Hall's books. Sure they're often "Certified NLP Trainers." By Dr. Hall, I presume? You may want also to take a look at the other types of books that those reviewers read (and review) - books of the "how to make a killing in sales" ilk.

Have you noticed all the praise that the publisher offers about Dr. Hall and his co-authors? Not too surprising when you learn that Crown House is Dr. Hall's publishing company. It all starts to make sense that members of this NLP fraternity not only recommend Crown House titles but recommend that "for full benefit" you take the training courses - presumably with Dr. Hall and associates.

Wish I could have found some of these titles at our major university library here in town. Strangely, this group of authors has not been able to get into the library. Strange: Bandler, Grinder, and Milton Erickson get into the library, but not this crowd. Guess someone must not have been impressed by this marketing scheme for horribly (un)edited self-published self-promoting titles. Where is my receipt for returning this thing?
