- I haven't used the post feature before, so excuse this message
- if it is garbled or sloppy. I don't know anyone who has instructions
- so I will fake it....
- This is Re: Is Mr Robbins for real? I wonder...
-
- I have been reading Anythony Robbins books, and other
- Neuro-Linguistic Programming books for a while now, and I find
- them quite useful. Here is some interesting stuff about Robbins
- books etc...
-
- His first book is "Unlimited Power", and contains mostly NLP
- information, and is, as someone else put it, "over zealous".
- However, it does contain a lot of inspiration, stories, and
- some of the basics for NLP, ie... rapport, the swish pattern,
- moddeling, eliciting someone's strategy etc etc...
- Chapter ten of "Unlimited Power" is not NLP, the title is:
- Energy: The Fuel of Excellence. This chapter contains information
- about food combining, or natural hygiene. Mr Robbins worked
- in his early years (around 19+ I think) for Harvey and Marilyn
- Diamond, of the Diamond Method of Food Combining (or something
- like that). More information in Mr Robbins book, or "Fit for
- Life" I or II by the Diamonds.
-
- His second book, "Awaken the Giant Within", is as far as I can
- tell, getting away from the Rapport, Reframeing, Anchoring etc
- of NLP, and into something that Mr Robbins calls (an
- application of NLP) NAC, or Neuro Associative Conditioning.
-
- In this NAC, I think Mr Robbins is just putting his style
- to work, and wants to call it something else for prestige etc.
-
- Anyway, Mr Robbins is coming to Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada,
- on February 17 1993, to talk on Strategic Influence, and I
- am going. So, if I learn how to use the POST feature better,
- I'll fill everyone in on the seminar after the 17th.
-
- In the meantime, has anyone taken any of his other seminars?
- Living Health, Date With Destiny, etc? I would be interested
- to know what you thought of them.
-
- NLP also has a lot more to it than in Mr Robbins books,
- basically, NLP involves taking what someone does effectively,
- and duplicating it successfully, they you will get the same
- results. NLP uses the work of DR Milton Ericson (in the field
- of hypnosis), and Virginia Satir in family therapy etc..
-
- I am not an expert on NLP so perhaps someone can write and
- respond to what I have written. I have written this in hopes
- that other people that know about NLP will write, so the
- SELF HELP section can have a few more interesting things to
- read.
-
- So, bye for now.
