What is NLP?
Unlike other approaches that tell you WHAT you need to do, NLP is a
HOW TO technology. It tells and shows you HOW TO achieve what you
want and HOW TO become the person you want to achieve your goals.
Different ways to: Look at, Talk about, and Get to grips with NLP
NLP is only a model. It isn't 'right' or 'wrong' it's only as useful as it is useful. One of the basic tenets of NLP is "if it isn't working, try something else" - and this applies to NLP as much as anything else. Here are three different descriptions of NLP.

that they are called Representational Systems?
The Original Ethos of NLP
In the beginning was an ethos, a characteristic spirit of a community. Judith DeLozier says: "The discipline known as NLP began before it had a name with an interdisciplinary community of people. We were motivated by a shared curiosity about how we know, about how we learn, how we communicate, and how we change."
