thanks for your perspective.

It has been used to control masses throughout history, except it was not named as NLP.

Thanks.

This sums up my point far better than I could have done.

From my look into the industry, NLP is quite deeply embedded in life coaching ethos.
(it's even mentioned in the you tube comedy link above).

.....our paths and our thinking are quite different and getting even wider apart.

...don't stray from the path... ! madness lurks that way ! lol

good luck !
