I have been asked by many people, "What is NLP?" So I thought, why not share this from my website's blog page and give you a first hand look and experience of not only what NLP is, but also introduce you to the man who co-invented Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Dr Richard Bandler.
Richard Bandler is one of the most influential thinkers of the 2Ist Century
Richard Wayne Bandler was born February 24, 1950 and is an American author on personal development. He is best known as the co-inventor (with John Grinder) of Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). He also developed follow-up systems known as Design Human Engineering (DHE) and Neuro Hypnotic Repatterning (NHR). He is often slandered by his commercial rivals and those jealous of his creative genius.
Education and Background
Richard Bandler holds a BA (1973) in Philosophy and Psychology from the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) and an MA (1975) in Psychology from Lone Mountain College in San Francisco.

Co-Founding of NLP
Richard Bandler was invited by Bob Spitzer, owner of Science and Behavior Books to attend trainings by Fritz Perls and Virginia Satir, and was later hired by Spitzer to help edit one of Perls' books--The Gestalt Approach. Richard Bandler invented the term 'Neuro Lingusitic Programming'.
While Bandler was a student at University of California, Santa Cruz he also led a Gestalt therapy group. John Grinder came to observe and said to Bandler that he could explain almost all of the questions and comments Bandler made using transformational grammar, the topic in linguistics that Grinder specialized in. They developed a model for therapy and called it the meta-model. It became their first book, The Structure of Magic, Volume I (1975). Bandler was Gregory Bateson's landlord, who taught at UCSC, Kresge College as did Grinder, and had moved to a community on Alba Road near the Santa Cruz mountains community of Ben Lomond. Bateson would have a profound influence on Bandler's future, he introduced Bandler and Grinder to Milton Erickson, which formed some of the foundational models for Neuro-linguistic programming. In 1975 Bandler then formed his own publishing company, Meta Publications, and published Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson Volume I (1975).
Bandler and Grinder went on to author The Structure of Magic Volume II (1976), Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson Volume II (1977) and Changing With Families (1976), which was co-authored with Virginia Satir herself.
Bandler also modeled Israeli physicist and founder of the Feldenkrais school of body work, Moshe Feldenkrais, and later published his book "The Elusive Obvious". In many of his classes, he has taught elements of this form of bodywork which he modeled.
