"Richard Bolstad is one of the finest NLP trainers I know. Besides being personable, engaging, and high energy, he is very skilled, with a rare breadth and depth of knowledge that is detailed and ecological. He is very open to and welcoming of feedback, which I think is one reason why he is so capable. The book RESOLVE: A New Model of Therapy is an excellent introduction to his work." - Steve Andreas, NLP trainer, author, and developer.
"RESOLVE is a book that will leave you with a broader and deeper knowledge of NLP and therapy whether you are already familiar with the field or not. Although it is not written as an introduction to NLP, it is a good one in its own right." From the Introduction to Richard's book RESOLVE by NLP Trainer Joseph O'Connor
"If you ever asked "Where's the research for NLP", you have to read Richard Bolstad's book RESOLVE." - NLP Trainer Michael Hall
