Each meta-program provides another way in which we differ as well as a way to create meta-rapport for closer relationships and more indepth understanding and appreciation. As a meta-domain of NLP, Meta-Programs describes how we sort for information and use perceptual filters.
Recognizing and matching how a person processes information, what he or she sorts for, enables you to more effectively communicate, relate, motivate, etc. Meta-Programs arise from meta-states. Learn how meta-programs are solidified meta-states that create a key operating system that governs how we run our brains. These sorting distinctions arise as meta-states coalesce from mind into body. Figuring Out People provides an encyclopedia of information and puts at your fingertips the most exhaustive and cutting-edge work in the field of the Meta-Programs.
Discover 60 ways you sort information.
This is an essential tool for anyone who works with people, wants to diagnose how a person is functioning, etc. There is a special Report on Meta-Programs on the website — www.

Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. An excellent and clear discussion of realities of living in the world via the bioneurophysical representation of the physical world and how meaning is made and used consciously and unconsciouly in the process. All in the first chapter. The material in this book could revolutionize ones thinking.
Figuring out People: Reading People using Meta Programs
It certainly helped do so for me. But the presentation, especially towards the end left much to be desired. I also bought a paperback version because the kindle version has lots of errors. But the two books were different. This one had a lot more categories and a different organization. Makes you wonder what is going on.
One person found this helpful. Lots of information but very uninteresting reading. Need a really good proof reading and a better format. Excellent book to understand other and makes easy the transformation process. Very important for coach. One of the more complete books from this author of many similar books. It has a lot of grammatical errors and typos. It is somewhat difficult to understand as the author seeks to avoid many of the generalities he believes cause communication problems, thus making words and sentence complexes somewhat convoluted. However his concepts are in my opinion are outstanding and need to be incorporated throughout psychological thought.
Figuring out People: Reading People using Meta Programs
Figuring People Out came out the same year as Hall and Bodenhamer's book Mind-Lines and suffers all of the same flaws. Some of this review is verbatim from my review of Mind-Lines, but it applies. Figuring People Out is Hall and Bodenhamer's presentation of Metaprograms, the NLP concept that people have an idiosyncratic predilection to sort for certain types of information in certain contexts. When the book came out there was only one, hard-to-find book on the subject by Leslie Cameron Bandler and most people had to learn the material entirely from course notes or take a class.
They also write in "e-prime," a style of writing briefly popular in the 80s human potential movement where passive voice is eliminated. Reading a lot of e-prime can be tiring and it certainly sounds unnatural. Figuring People Out doesn't suffer from much of the horrible layout and typography that Mind Lines does, fortunately. It is actually usable as a reference book. But it goes even further overboard on the small-chunk detail that isn't either useful or entertaining.
The authors' real interest in the material is in how many metaprograms the can list: This is a rainy-day game: After a short while the reader realizes that they have delved into distinctions that only matter because the authors want them to.
It could have been a useful way to teach the reader to detect which distinctions are useful in a given context, rather than rely on a list, but it goes on so long that clearly the authors like making lists. I like making lists, too. I'm a small-chunk person. But Hall and Bodenhamer use reductive analysis as a substitute for pedagogy. Combined with their academic style, their self-congratulatory tone, and the circumlocutions of e-prime, it guarantees that Figuring People Out will be useful to no one.
In a previous review in , it's abundantly evident that "Egads" has no understanding of NLP Why do I say that? Because instead of reviewing the book, he uses the review opportunity to criticize NLP as a field. The book presupposes that the reader already has some understanding of NLP concepts.
