Great post about NLP. I'm a bit familiar with due Tony Robbins and some german speakers. It's always fascinating. I think NLP is a bit discredited because it is often placed on the same footing as manipulation and i think it can be used for. But manipulation is also in positive manner called influence and people who do that with the best intention can change the life of people for the positive and that's great. Because we are most of the time bound between helplessness and habit (see Brian Tracy) so it's very important that there are methods to free people from that curse. And i think if someone is ready than he can change his life for the better!
