NLP is an attitude and a methodology, not the trail of techniques it leaves behind
It's an attitude that has to do with curiosity, with wanting to know about things, wanting to be able to influence things, and wanting to be able to influence them in a way that's worthwhile
You can stop anything but a person with a good attitude.
The fact is that there is nothing wrong with most of us that a good, clean change of attitude and some new skills wouldn't fix.
