What is NLP?

In essence, NLP is the science of human achievement that will work for anyone because it is a practical guide and the ultimate manual for the human mind. NLP is notoriously difficult to define, however its name provides perhaps the best indicator as to its structure and purpose.

'Neuro' refers specifically to the neurological processes of seeing, feeling, hearing, smelling and tasting; the fabric of our whole experience of being.
'Linguistic' relates to the process of language and how we use it to communicate our experiences, both internally and externally to the world around us.
'Programming' refers to the set patterns or mental strategies that we use in structuring what we experience mentally and processing it to create outcomes through our conscious thinking and behavior.

NLP identifies, structures and defines how each human being run their own brain and how that brain operates, functions and works in its interaction with itself and the world around it.

In simple terms, the world in which we live provides each of us with a 'truth' about what is and what happens to and around us - reality, or the real world. Each human organism, through its mind, constructs a unique map, or model of the world around and within it. This map or model is created at an unconscious level and by default, we each reside within that model as if it were absolutely reality.
