Personal Development for Smart People Forums - View Single Post - Why the lack of discussion on NLP? This is what NLP has done for me.

I want to point out that I'm not an expert in NLP. I have never attended an NLP practitioner program/seminar. I learned NLP by reading numerous books/ebooks, listening to audio programs, and watching NLP DVD programs. If you're looking into NLP, you'll find there are numerous resources and it may seem overwhelming. I've sifted through a lot of material. Here's what I recommend:

If you want to start off, I hands down recommend NLP: The New Technology of Achievement. Also, Tony Robbins explains NLP well in Unlimited Power. Richard Bandler's Frogs Into Princes is considered an NLP classic; if you look hard enough, you should find it online for free. Mindlines is about reframing limiting beliefs and I consider this a must; NLP visualization techniques in conjunction with Mindline reframing is a POWERFUL combination.

If you want to cleanse yourself of negative energy like anger, bitterness, regret, etc., the number one program I recommend is Tad James's "The Secret to Creating Your Future" audio cassette program. This is no longer available but does pop up on Ebay every now and then. I think the title is a bit misleading because a great portion of the program deals with clearing negative energy/emotions from the past. Only a small part of the program is actually geared towards the future. This program is based on NLP Timeline therapy. I didn't gain much from the book versions but hey, maybe others will.

If you want to immerse yourself further into NLP, you'll probably be tempted to purchase Richard Bandler audio and DVD programs. After all, he is the co-founder. Maybe you'll gain something from it, but I personally didn't gain much out of the programs at all (Design Human Engineering, The Bandler Effect, Neuro-Hypnotic Repatterning, etc.). These programs seem to be geared toward Psychologists and NLP Practioners who do this stuff for a living. The only Richard Bandler video program I recommend is Bandler's "Down Under, Magic in Action." This is an old-school program and I don't think it's available; but like the earlier program I mentioned, it does appear on Ebay once in a blue moon. Don't confuse this with Bandler's book "Magic In Action," which is totally different in content. In "Down Under, Magic in Action" you'll see Bandler in his younger days explaining the core NLP basics, concepts. He goes through ideas and patterns explained in his early classic books. I highly recommend this video for anyone new to NLP.

Cheers!
