Do you have any knowledge regarding NLP?

Mornin' all!

Stumbled across a multitude of videos today on NLP and hypnosis and did a quick bit of research on whether there was any grounds to the science, I found some mixed results. It seems like this kind of stuff pops up occasionally with pick-up but I have a sneaky suspicion that this is the coined 'darker-side' of seduction? If you have any background articles, information or any anecdotes on your usage of the stuff and whether it is useful I'd love to hear your reply

Cheers,

There are some good and amazing things on NLP, especially when you start. As the time goes though, you'll realize that there are really no quick fixes for life. There is no such thing that you close your eyes for couple of minutes, imagine something and suddenly the whole world changes...

It's what you do persistently in your life that really matters. Say you want to be for example a great weight lifter in your life. NLP can help you visualize success, it help you to visualize that you lift X pounds, it gives you the "image" of winning in some weightlifting competition - and that together can give you the initial big jump forward, it can increase your enthusiasm for lifting weights... However, the thing that really matter is that you go to fitness, day after day, year after year and lift weights, overcome barriers and plateaus by persistence, and constantly outperform your previous personal records...

Same with girls, you may "imagine" that you are a great and successful seducer, but if you don't go out and interact with girls, the whole NLP is pointless...

Ahh that's really interesting and I'll take a quick look into it just due to interest. I had it in my head that NLP was like the ol' hypnotists in the movies where he tells you to close your eyes and do whatever he wants you to do! Glad it's not some cult like thing

The visualisation thing is really interesting and can be a great motivator, sounds kind of like solid goal focus similar to your response to my 'reaching goals' post!

Thanks for your help once again
