The Co-Founder of NLP Reveals His Secrets!

Monday, March 14th, 2011

Click Here for focus

The foundations of the modern Personal Development industry were quarried out of a new world view and away from traditional Freudian analysis.


Through the codifying of behavior to identify what works, why it works, and how it works, a new path was forged with the objective of facilitating change, not by virtue of hours of talk and endless questioning, but instantaneous change born out of simple techniques.


This new direction was manifested in the NLP movement of the late ’70′s. Change is rarely universally popular, particularly if it confronts the very fabric of a lucrative, if somewhat arcane industry. That industry was traditional psychology.


The first superstar of this movement was uber-celebrity, Coach to the stars, Author, and Seminar leader extraordinaire, Anthony Robbins. Love him or hate him, his impact is powerful and ubiquitous, and he will go down as one of the great salesmen of his generation.


This Review however is not about Mr Robbins, but the rather less known, though hugely respected in his field, Richard Bandler. Bandler co-founded Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) with John Grinder and coached the likes of Robbins who then packaged, rebranded and sold it to the world.


GET THE LIFE YOU WANT will be looked on as the bible of NLP. Bandler is an innovator, a doer, a worker bee and queen bee at the same time. He is not however an entertainer. This book strips the mysticism, magic and psycho babble from this oft derided “behavioral technology”. Ironically one of his earlier masterpieces was titled the THE STRUCTURE OF MAGIC


There is no strong premise to the book. Rather Bandler ascribes to the Keep It Simple lesson. His assertions are all backed up by practical examples of his methodology and results. The key message is that desired change; change of attitude, elimination of Phobias, eliminating emotional baggage, changing beliefs and overcoming any number of obstacles, does not need to be a gradual process. Change can and should be quick.


He contends that all beliefs, fears, addictions, worries and self doubt are learned, and therefore can be unlearned. The key is to mirror and model the thought processes, breathing patterns, posture, and physiology of those that are better adapted.


Phobias are a mentally created fear and mostly can be eliminated by “noticing” the thought processes that precede the utter fear. The question is asked “how do you get in to that state?” ‘what do you think about and focus on to create the fear?” “what is the voice in your head saying preceding this fear?” Now let’s look at how non-phobics react in the same situations. Notice what’s different and mirror it.


This is a book about the techniques that produce results. Good and bad. Even the cynically minded will feel somewhat seduced by the actual stories of profound success, and the speed of change.


A more diluted presentation of the world of NLP than Anthony Robbins’ best seller “UNLIMITED POWER”. From the Granddaddy of NLP, this is a remarkably clear introduction, and unadulterated with academic references, as one might have expected from a lifetime scientist. As they say if you only ever read one book on the topic, this is probably it. Big title, little hype.

Neuro Linguistic Programming is basically an outcome of a thesis project undertaken in Santa Cruz way back in 1970s. It was the initiative of Richard Blander and John Grinder. The duo attempted to find reasons as to why some people complete their jobs excellently while others find the same task highly difficult. Richard had his roots in mathematics while John had his in linguistics. Gradually their research moved towards systematic therapeutic procedures. On the basis of their study of 3 chief therapists- Virginia Satir, Fritz Perls and Milton Erickson, Richard and John came out with a never-before technique now famous as NLP. They carefully studied the things that went into making the above 3 therapists achieve what they actually wanted. They undertook a neat and detailed research about the models and techniques that led to the success of these 3 therapists. On understanding those models, the two decided to teach them to the rest of the world. Thanks to them!

NLP – What Can It Do for You?

Friday, January 21st, 2011

Click Here for past experiencesNLP (Neuro Linguistic programming) is a concept that was introduced into Hypnotherapy as recently as 2004 by it’s authors Richard Bandler and John Grinder. It exemplifies the greatest discovery of the 20th Century which is that ‘Change of the self is possible’.

NLP – What can it do for you?

It will enable you to change your life because it will give you choices about the kind of life you want to lead in the future.

Our current life and the way we live it is the result of our past experiences and how we have adapted to them. Those experiences, both good and bad have created the person who we think we are today.

Events or the things we were taught in our earlier lives have conditioned us to hold a set of beliefs about who we are and what we can or can’t do, which controls the way we react to similar events or situations today.

For example, suppose we were frightened by a barking dog as a child,we may still experience the same degree of fear when we see or hear a dog bark today.

We may still hold fear of authority figures which was inbuilt in us as a child as a way of respecting our elders, policemen or stern teachers which may be entirely inappropriate as a response to the way we should deal with similar authority figures as an adult.

NLP works on the premise that the programs that we have adopted can be changed or reprogrammed to provide us with better ways to experience our everyday lives.

In other words we can change our lives for the better!

The journey starts with taking stock of what it is that you want to change about your life. This requires you to stop and think about the events or things in your life that upset you emotionally or that are limiting the life you would like to lead.

Make a list of the events, people or emotions that create negative feelings within you. Think of each one using all your five senses so that you realise how much the are limiting your life. Doing this will intensify your desire and motivation to change them. Think of the effect on your future life if you could change each negative feeling into a positive.

Visualise how your life will be without these negatives, create a mental video of these new situations and feel the difference with all the emotion you can muster, which will further strengthen your resolve to make changes.

The first change needed is in your mind. The view you hold of the world and current events is the result of your preconditioned attitude towards the world and everything in it. Change your attitude and your world will change with it.

To change your attitude towards an event, person or job, you need to realise that there are other ways you could react to each event, person or job.

You can’t change the world but you can change the way you react to each situation and that is the magic of NLP.

Realising what you don’t want clears the way towards what you do want in life and enables you to discover your life goals.
