Nlp

[Clippy]

or Neuro Linguistic Programming

Anyone any experience of this?

Solid science or jiggery pokery?

Curious as read an article about Paul McKenna the other day and it's basically what he has moved into - no more 'look into my eyes...'.

NLP is more common sense than anything. Repeating key words often so they register with the other person and "push" them in a certain direction etc. etc.
Bit of a mixture of jiggery pokery and science. Worth reading a book on, but not much more that.

Kind sirs,

I have much experience of Neuro Linguisitic Programming, much cheapness, plenty quickness, all versions.

Any recommendations?

So who was the mystery prankster that bombarded you with "Dull", "Cretin", and "Sad" then?

Is this the stuff Derren Brown does?

That's very clever.

Read the reviews and one of them states:

"This book offers also different exercises (which are not recommended to do without supervision since they are very powerful and effective and could do harm if not used properly!)"

Is that true?

There's even one for bag-o-pus

Nah, it's bollocks. NLP is vastly over-rated. To answer another posters question Darren Brown uses more conjuring and "magic" skills than NLP, I suspect.
