A great book to get you started is "Using Your Brain: For a Change" by Richard Bandler, Steve Andreas, and Connirae Andreas. I think it may be out of print but you can get it on ebay. It was written in 1985 but is still packed with many techniques that are useful today even though a lot has been updated. One of the first parts asks the question "Who is driving the bus?". Most people go from day to day reacting unconsciously to events in their lives as they happen. They are the passengers on the bus. This book shows you how to get in the driver seat.

i am BUYING THAT BOOK. any other good ONLINE reads you could give me?

This link takes you to submodalities. We have our 5 senses to detect the world around us. We also have those 5 senses in our minds. We could call these "modalities". Lets take the visual modality. An image in our minds has many attributes. Brightness... distance... 3D/2D... size etc. These can be called "submodalities". Remember a pleasurable time from your past. You will have a feeling associated with it. If you can become aware of the image notice where it is. Notice how bright it is. If you increase the brightness does that change your feelings? Turn it down till the picture is dim. Most people will notice when they darken the image the feelings diminish. This is not always the case. Everyones experience is different. It's a subjective thing. Double the size of the image. Do the feelings increase? Read the page on this link to get more attributes you can change.

Take a look through the rest of the encyclopedia. I'm sure you will come across other other things that may catch your eye. Anchoring is a good start.
