Unlikely as it would actually involve you having to walk the talk. You know, I can really understand why you like this idea of just observing oneself as it pretty much means you don't actually have to do anything.

Neuro-linguistic programming
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia
Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in California, United States in the 1970s.
Its creators claim a connection between the neurological processes ("neuro"), language ("linguistic") and behavioral patterns learned through experience ("programming") and that these can be changed to achieve specific goals in life. Bandler and Grinder claim that the skills of exceptional people can be "modeled" using NLP methodology, then those skills can be acquired by anyone.
Bandler and Grinder also claim that NLP can treat problems such as phobias, depression, habit disorder, psychosomatic illnesses, myopia, allergy, common cold and learning disorders, often in a single session.

NLP has been adopted by some hypnotherapists and in seminars marketed to business and government.
True and guess what topic was found as common ground between my brother and Bill Clinton.
Reviews of empirical research find that NLP's core tenets are poorly supported.

And lo' an' behold CBT arrived upon the Psychotheraputic scene soon after.
Why do you like this so much?
Because currently it's still the best of the bunch out there and has a useful set of techniques to aid communication and change.
What do you think or feel that it has done for you?
Here's a good example, your words show that you equate thinking as feeling, which does explain you. Where you make an error is that others may not think this way and as such they won't hear your message. Still, just for you. I know what it has done for me, it has, when required, given me an epistemology and a pedagogy with a set of techniques that allows me to, if I wish, change beliefs and behaviours, in myself and others.
Do you have a specific doctrine or chapter, that you specifically like, that you could share here & now?
Not really as it's a doing thing not a reading thing but I would say that there are a lot of bandwagon books out there and if anyone is really interested then they should just read Frogs into Princes and The Structure of Magic I & II to get the gist and see if it piques their interest, it certainly did mine.
When do you initially experience NLP and, at that time, what did it do for you?
I think you meant 'did'. It was back in the late 80s, just happened upon Frogs into Princes in my local library. Didn't actually find anywhere to learn the techniques until the late 90s when I happened to see a course in London so signed-up. I've already told you above what it did for me.
What experiences, from your past life, can you bring back?
Any ones I wish to change.
What else has NLP changed in your life & what has it allowed you to do?
When I wish, its changed how I interact with people and how I set and achieve goals or outcomes.
It's allowed me to help a couple of friends with situations they wished to change and allowed me to change a situation with my ex-wife.
Do you view yourself as an exceptional person?[/size]
Depends, relative to whom? But when the need arises I can be not shabby.
See how one can be a gnu with answers Bill, try it some time.
