NLP

I've found users manual for the brain to be a more bare-bones NLP book.  Some of it might be useful -- in the same sense that say memory tricks might be useful.

Yeah, one of the dudes who wrote it has a PhD in cognitive science.

Even better, he wrote a book on, "Becoming More Ferocious as a Presenter".

NLP doesn't make many claims as to the accuracy of the model. The slogan is, "TrY iT oUt FoR yOuRsELf!" The emphasis is on whether the model helps or impedes reaching objectives. Like a good political sleazeball, it just sidesteps the entire issue. For example, "The Presuppositions" are carefully described as not necessarily true, but if you act as though they are then it will lube your social interactions. For the most part, I agree with that.

You know what other thought collective has pretty much the exact same slogan?

I'm not too well read on NLP. Can you tell me if these arean examples of it?

I was holding the last french fry, my stomach totally full to capacity. I said out loud, "Should I eat the last fry?"
My girlfriend said "yes", and I immediately did. I later realized that I processed her "yes" as if it was an internal direction.


The other day on the highway, a motorcycle cut me off. His license plate was "YIELD", so I backed off. It took me 10 seconds to realize the effect the sign had on me.

well, "memory tricks" are useful, you just need to practice them so they don't take as much effort, but from all the memory tricks I've read about, even the first time I used them they were incredibly succesful.

there are a bunch in Derren Brown's book (Tricks of the Mind, IIRC) that you can employ immediately without having to memorize any tables of image-to-number associations or such.

are there similar immediate result tricks for NLP?

I guess it depends on how you use it.

As far as techniques go, I can see how anchoring and reframing, for instance, can be useful in social game type places (work, school, etc).  I wouldn't regard it as a be all-end all.

I suppose if someone "Practices NLP" all the time, like those high-powered marketers, they would eventually begin to lack spontaneity.  Begin to look fake.

no I mean in a real straight forward way like the memory tricks

1- do X
2- do A
3- do K
4- get result Z
