Midterm over and now we have time, which can be utilized in something I always wanted. So I am back to reading. This time I want to explore this thing called NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming). I am intrigued by it as I found some books in IIFM library. I am sceptical about it but nonetheless curious about it.

If you are wondering , what NLP is, here is something a very brief intro of NLP. Neuro - Nervous system through which experience is received and processed through five senses. Linguistics – Language and non-verbal communication system through which neural representations and coded, ordered and given meaning. Programming – The ability to organize our neural and communication system to achieve desired results.

NLP is tauted as a tool of personal and profession growth which works on the basis of how humans think and experience the world. It uses certain presupposition, which ultimately help in creating the desired change. Some of the presuppositions are:

1.There is no such thing as failure, only feedback. 2.If someone can do something, it can be modeled and taught to anyone. 3.The map is not the territory. 4.The meaning of communication is the response you get. 5.If you are not getting the desired response, try something else.

It uses the potential of five senses, viz. Visual, Olfactory, Gustatory, Kinesthetic and Auditory.
