Being Happy is written for the average person who wants to change his or her life and achieve his or her full potential. It is full of exercises and life-changing tactics utilizing the principles of NLP with amazing results. Written by Richard Bandler, co-creator and developer of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and Garner Thomson, NLP Master Practitioner and Trainer, Richard Bandler is arguably the world's most influential contributor to the field of self-development and applied psychology. His books have sold more than half a million copies, and tens of thousands of people have studied his unique blend of hypnosis, linguistics, and precise thinking throughout the world. A widely acclaimed keynote speaker and workshop leader, he is the author of many books, including Get the Life You Want, Richard Bandler's Guide to Trance-formation, Using Your Brain-for a Change, Time for a Change and Magic in Action. He co-authored Conversations, Frogs into Princes, Persuasion Engineering, The Structure of Magic I, The Structure of Magic II, Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson Volumes I and II, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming Volume I. Dr Bandler's background as a musician and his interest in the relationship between sound and neural functioning has led him to develop Neuro-SonicsTM, and a range of programs for the BrainFit(tm) light-sound machine, both of which utilize music and sound to create specific internal experiences and behavioral outcomes. He is also the founder of the mental technologies of Design Human Engineering (DHE) and Neuro-Hypnotic Repatterning (NHR).
