Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) was initially developed in the 1960s and 1970s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. NLP studies human excellence and involves techniques to transform one's life in areas like fear, purpose, and higher achievement. NLP incorporates the nervous system (neuro), language (linguistic), and programming of one's mind. It can be used to achieve success, overcome bad habits and phobias, and live a more fulfilled life. The four main principles of NLP are setting clear outcomes, developing sensory awareness, changing behaviors flexibly, and taking immediate action.

cyberneticist.
The
development
of
this
groundbreaking neuroscience was largely done at

attracted therapists, later on these

1980's brought controversy for this groundbreaking
science, with John Grinder and Richard Bandler
falling out and getting tangled in disputes for
intelectual property, which were only resolved
towards the end of the 1990's. NLP started being
developed freely by many individuals, but with
principles having very little in common with the
original
nature
of
NLP.
Neuro-linguistic
programming was better organized under formal
institutions during the 1990's, especially in
countries such as the UK and Germany

4
21/12/2012
• Know what outcome you want to achieve
• Have sufficient sensory acuity to know if
you are moving towards or away from
your outcome
• Have sufficient flexibility of behaviour so
that you can vary your behaviour until you
get your outcome
• Take action now
NLP

19. NLP four operational principles
1. Achieving outcomes
• Many people have no idea what they want but know
•
•
•
•
what they don't want
life is based on moving away from those things they
don't want
NLP stresses the importance of moving towards
those things you want
Without outcomes life becomes a process of
wandering aimlessly
Once an outcome is determined you can begin to
focus on achieving that outcome.

•
TESTABLE AND DEMONSTRABLE IN SENSORY
EXPERIENCE.
•

•
appropriately and explicitly contextualized
•
must preserve any positive product of the
present state
•
