When it was first developed in the 1970's by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, neurolinguistic programming, or NLP, was considered a great advancement in psychotherapy and was widely studied as a means by which to subjectively study language, communication, and personal change. Today it is a highly successful means by which individuals can not learn how they interact with the world through language and other forms of communication, but also better understand others and make enhanced decisions, provide advice, and boost their self image through understanding.<BR><BR>This book was written to assist every individual who wants to become more in tune with their minds and their interactions with peers, family, and friends.
